Some interesting comments on at
tempts of American girls to get into
grand opera were made recently by
Oscar Hammerstein. zone of my
dreams when was preparing to give
grand opera here" he said, was that
1 would help American talent to get
on. 1 soon found 1 would have plenty
of opportunities. Ambitious girls?
There are thousands of them here, girls
who have spent five or even 10 years
studying for a career and dreaming of
the time when they would step into
the shoes of Media.
Well, a lot of them had found they
could not get ahead without influence,
and most of them did not want to pay
the price for the influence, and they
did not get anywhere. When I started
it was not long before the musical
people of New York found that infu-
ence did not count for much with me,
and that there was no price to pay if
girls had the voice-and the talent.
"Then came the deluge.
Imagine having a young woman
come to you and letting you know she
has all her hopes bound up in what you
say and do. Imagine another girl who
has been studying for years at great
sacrifice to her family. You see the
temperament in her face and hear it

feel certain that she can learn quickly
what to do. She gets up to sing. You
find that some charlatan has been
taking her money for years and telling
her she has great future-just a plain
folly-and that she has not the voice,
or If she has, It, has been trained so
badly sire cannot use it. If a woman
comes to me I always try to listen. In
a minute can tell. am always ready
to learn if they have voice to balance
the head and heart. When 1 find such
make them an offer"
