Best Voices in America.

When Henry ". Savage and Man
ager Ralph Edmunds were in Paris last
summer gathering a cast for Madam
Butterfly" Jean De Reszke arranged a
little affair" at his home in order that
Mr.. Savage might hear some new
voices. The yankee colonel tells of it ::
In the course of our conversation 1
asked De Reszke: Have you any
Americans studying with you?"
Some" he answered, but I wish
there were more"
"Why?"
Because they are the best. The
finest voices in the world come from
America. The biggest, the purest, the
most dramatic. l don't know why it
is so. l merely know that it is so.''
During his visit to the United States
Tito Ricordi said to me: Il can not
understand the temper of your people.
To me they are a paradox. Here in
the United States you have greater de-
mand for grand opera than in any
other country. Here, too, you have the
best supply Of natural singers. Yet in
stead of producing your musical class
les in English. with casts of native
singers, you go abroad and pay enor-
nous prices for men and women with
foreign names and foreign titles. I pre-
sumo that it is due to the same mex
Dlicable national characteristic which

diners can not read. New York Sun.
