can swing these singers, that is the high
priced stars. around from one city To
another. When he has built all the opera
houses he has planned Hsmnerstein says
that he can engage n singer for sixty weeks.
The high salaries paid to grand opera
srars in this country will attract the best
in Europe when there is a guarantee Of sixty
engagements held out to them. In this
regard. Hammerstein laughingly remarked
yesterday:
Gee, First th,ng you know III have

One thing that Hammersteln is banking
"a great deal on is the opportunity he Viii
be able 10 give To American talent in the
various cities. This plan in the various To-
Mlities, he fgures, will make his opera
tpuses all the more popular Hammer

ductin Of "~Aphrodlte." and .Mtss Mary

Mile Vammerstein didn't talk tbout
1t. il vas learned that he has a neat little
scheme in connection with the buitlnG
Of a chain Of opera houses. The scheme
he has in mind came 10 him q number of
years ago. That was when Oscar Han
merstein quit editing the MAKER
G0xene and began To build theatres. ht
built the Harlem Opera House on i?5tht
street ami learned that a corner plot ad-
Joining brought more than ssOo,OD when
the theatre got going, but had been going
begging on the real estate market Tor a
long time before AZ iess than hat that
sum.
Now. Hammerstein knew what he was
doing when he bought the factory build
ing and other prSPsr,y opposite the sos s..e
Yesterday he received AN oYer for that
property which would net him a proht OF
about 40 per cent on his investment. nam
merstein expects 10 get a higher price,
Maybe he doesn't want 10 announce the
places Of his Boston and Chicago houses
FOR the reason that he has a similar scheme
on. There were a great many kilograms
and letters received in Hammersteins
Office yesterday from real estate dealers
in Chicago and Boston.
Sun reporter found Hammerstsin
in a most jovisl frame of mind yesterday.
Ii wasn't 30 much over his grand opera
scheme as over a little invention he had
Just made. Hammerstein is an inveterate
smoker 81 cigars and has been suffering
because the direct contact OF the tobacco
hurts his lir and throat. He can't use a
holder, he says, because il hurts his teeth,
He solved the problem yesterday ny rusns
