OSCAR GIVES SONGBIRDS A TRIAL
Predicts He Will Have Finest Chorus New
York Has Ever Heard.

Oscar Hammerstein, at the Manhattan Opera
House, tried the voices yesterday OF more than a
hundred singers and women. for the chorus
for hts grand opera season, which opens Novem-
ber 4. The applicants having the most promising
voices will be invited to call again IN few days
another trial, and after the third trial the
vivors of these eXaminato Will be chosen for
the chorus.
Mr.. Hammerstein. in a talk with a Tribune re-
porter declared that he had excellent material %
choose from this year. and that good as his
chorus was last II promised to be su-
perior in this season. Members of the old chorus
will meet the opera house OH Monday for a
trial their voices. and win be also personally ex-
anned by Mr. Hammersten.
Among the applicants yesterday, Mr.. Hammer
stein said were a number of women soloists who
had sung in concert tours in this country and IN
Europe. and other soloists who had made reputa-
tons in church chors. They were anxious to get
the chorus for the sake OF the stage experience
OF which they had none.
LAS an incentive TO American singers" remarked
Mr. TIammerstein II have encouraged this class
of applicants and have gradually given them small
parts in many Instances. In this way singers may
learn by observation. under the direction of stage
manager and fit themselves for grand opera
THE trouble with too many American girls is
that after taking lessons from a music teacher for
n wear or two they think that the rest of their
and that they can a be assigned to important
parts. They are mortified by being put in the
chorus and become dsdanfu when asked to begin
the bottom
Judging from the number OF trained voices OF
fine quality at my command. feel justified in pre-
dieting that my chorus this year Will be the finest
