Savage Starts
Singers Bureau
For Americans

Henry w. Savage, who returned home
this week after a four months stay
abroad, has added a Aew enterprise 10
his list Of undertakings as a theatrical
manager. He has completed plans for
the establishment in Paris of an insti-
tuition for American singers in Europe
which Will enable them 10 have their
voices tested. receive professional ad-
vice and be otherwise aided for a
career on the operate stage.
Headquarters for the school have been
opened at S5 Avenue de LOpera, where
Herman Fellner viii be in charge. This
undertaking has been one Of Manager
Savage's pet schemes ever since he be-
gan 10 import American singers for his
English grand opera ventures, 1t Is said.
Mr. Savage estimates that at the pres
ent time there are fully three thousand
Americans in Europe studying music.
Some of them will attain success and
fame, but the majority. for one reason
or another, viii undoubtedly be added
TO the great pathetic class OF failures.
Young American singers go to Eu
rope" says Mr.. Savage, ito study two,
three, or more years there, and when
their musical education Is completed
find themselves face to face with a stu
alton in which the American girl Of
good. honest bringing up is particularly
Handicapped. Either she abandons her
ambitions and makes the sacrifice Of
the labor and money she has expended
during years Of study or she Is content
with a small engagement in some OBJ
sCure town where the chances are she
IS never heard Of again. These girls
are lost to the American operate stage;
nobody keeps a record Of them; no
body looks after them.
My plan is to establish a European
bureau in Paris where tabs can be kept
on all American singers in Europe. 1 do
not wish to advertise the scheme as
philanthropic undertaking. but It GER
tainly will be Of benefit to the American
student in Europe"

PLAYS MADE FOR STARS
MUST BE SYMPATHETIC

So much has been said about the star
system on the stage in this country
that one need only call attention to the
stars attitude. II is asserted that the
public pays to see personalities; that
the play is not a show wagon. but
vehicle. In a way this is true. but no
star can succeed in a bad play-bad in
point of plot character. dialogue, or In
Jerest Dramatic monologues have
ceased TO be absorbing. and stars them
selves are now admitting it. But, while
the condition a few years ago was con-
ducive, even more than now. to weak
scenes and bad psychology; while play
wrights ceased 70 be original and sim
ply became taiiors; nevertheless, il Is
still quite obvious that the star. who Is
being featured. and in whom the man
ager is financially interested, should at
least predominant over the other mem
bers OF the cast. Now, Il Is just here
that the beginner I'm playwrighting does
not take account of conditions. Know
ing this fact. he should endeavor to
focus the interest OF the play on some
one part and make that more attractive
than any other. The star should dornI-
nate all the scenes in which he figures;
he should have the curtains" But
more important than mere length of
part Is perhaps-and Il is the most vital
thing of all-that the stars role must
be sympathetic. The audience must
never question his actions at the time.
II must not think with him, 1t must
feel with him: he must be always right.
not necessarily right ethically, but right

There is plenty OF strong, intense ma
