cperatic stage arc very anxious to dis
cover whether she duplicates these tri-
unphs on the concert platform.
No Equal in Concert
Emma Calve certainly has no equal on
the concert stage. And a treat it is to
hear her at her various moods; In fact
to hear her sing is the event of q life
time. There is but one Calve.
She is the possessor of glorious high
tones. and lower register deep. rich,
sweet and strong. She is neither soprano
nor contraIto-she is just Calve. This
wonderful singer possesses another power
beyond the mere mechanical instrument
of voice and its intelligent application.
Some call it soul. Some call it tempera-
ment. Others call it magnetism. What
ever It may be called, she has it above all
others.
Madame Calve has one of the most ex-
tensive repertolres of any living singer
II comprises fewer than eighty-six operas:
she sings In five different languages and
has appeared in every city of Importance
in the United States and Europe.
Madame Calve has surrounded herself
with an excellent Company of assisting
artists. So closely associated is Calve
! with Carmen" that one cannot think OF
either without involuntarily thinking OF
the other.
Not only has she sung the role and lived
1t better than any other great singer, but
she has also sung It oftener than any
other living singer, because the great
music loving public never tires Of hear
ing her in 1t.
She is characteristic of Calye. So tenn
peramental and emotional is she that she
always unconsciously violates some of the
conventions of concert singing and gives
her dramatic instinct an outlet. Greatest
| of all the singers on the operatic stage
she is also greatest of all the actresses
upon 1t.
Manager Behyiner in securing the
Shrine auditorium did SO at the sugges-
| tion of many students and teachers who
| could not hear this wonderful singer al
the high prices which would be necessary
if Madame Calve sang at Simpson audi
torium. With the enormous seating
capacity of the Shrine temple the popular
prices may be charged, and the great diva
win undoubtedly be greeted by an aud
fence of splendid proportions on the even
4 ing Of December II.
Built for Comfort
shrine temple was built for the eorifori
| and convenience of patrons palatfal par
lors, check rooms capable of accommodate
ing thousands a fairyland of electric
| lights a splendid stage and excellent
! and her company. .--
Manager Tohey stated to Manager
i Behymer, the local representative, that
Shrine temple was a better auditorium
than any in which Madame Calye has
sung this season. excepting Orchestra
hall in Boston, and commended the Shrine
body on possessing such sumptuous quar-
ters.
