MARCHEsI VISITS BERLIN


MARCHEsI VISITS BERLIN
Nine. Mathilde Marchesi, the famous
singing teacher, who numbers among
her former pupils nearly, if not all, the
best known woman singers of the last
% years has been in Berlin lately, Wis
ting her former pupil, Nine. Etelka
Gerster. that wonderful artistic who al
most eclipsed Patti IN that never to be
forgotten season of opera in San Fran
cisco given in the eighties. Scalchi, the
great contralto, was also in the COM
pany. and Arditi was one of the con-
ductors Seats were sold at fabulous
prices on Patti nights, and the wild
est enthusiasm prevailed. Soon after
poor Gerster lost her voice and has
never sung in public since.
But to return to Marchesi, who, all
though born in Germany. after having
lived in Paris. and being now 65 years
of age, is a thorough Parisienne. Her
views on The decline of the art of
singing" given in an interview during
her stay in Berlin, have so much of
interest TO singers that I must repeat
them. She said
people do not sing any more: they
scream There are three principal rea-
sons for this, all pedagogical In the
first place, women have no business to
study with men. and vice versa. Sec
ondly. finished pupils are turned out
altogether too soon. Thirdly, modern
singing teachers utterly fail to under
stand that the feminine voice has three
distinct registers. which must be scien-
tifcally welded together before being
used. 1t is common nowadays to hear
a singer begin trilling after one years
study. She should not be permitted to
do that before SIR or eight years of
study. The worlo is full of methods
and everybody's method is right so long
as he teaches it.
In much of this Marchesfs ideas co.
incide with those of ; the recognized
leading teachers of Europe and the
United states. All agree in saying:
eco slow and thus avoid disappoint-
ment and Encouragement.

La voyageuse Finds Fashions in.
Paris Pretder Than Ever
Green Gowns Of Every Shade Made in
Slim Styles Growing in Popular Favor

silhouette of the well dressed woman

its cutaway coat and short skirt (the
latter clinging ever so tightly over
the hips and made. often, in corselet
form), its little waistcoat outlining the
figure; pretty jabot, high boned
lace collar, finished by frill of finest
lawn; large, feather trimmed hat;
soft suede gloves, with wrist frills ex-
tending beyond the sleeves of the
Jacket a gold purse; a little black vel
vet ribbon around the neck, the ends
finished by long pointed pendants
known as aiguelletes; a pair of neat
boots-and you nave the fashionable
Parisienne of the present moment,

deed, the entire costume is intended
10 give slim" effect, for in good truth
the new fashions seem made only for
the slim, and the stoutly inclined
woman is correspondingly in despair.
The fact is we are returning more
and more to the fashions of the empire.
In one OF the new plays now being pre-
sented here one of the actresses shows
US to what lengths the "clinging"
movement may bring us, for in one act
she wears what looks like merely a long
strip of pink crepe de chine wound
around and around the figure, in Greek
style. leaving one shoulder bare-a
costume which. though extremely beau
tfful and graceful of line, is distinctly
exaggerated.

GREEN is IN FAVOR

The color most greatly in favor this
spring is green-green in all its va
riety of shade, Nile green. apple green,
olive green. and so on through all the
shades One exquisite gown l saw the
other day was of mignonette green,
with reflections of gold in its tone. II
was made in princess FORM draped
around the figure and fitted admirably.
The top of the bodice was of Irish
point, with beautiful passemepterie
of gold and green. The short boiero
was finished in beautiful fringe the
same shade as the trimming.
No more short sleeves; no more long
gloves in the daytime-three buttons
is all that fashion permits.
I The craze for womens waistcoats
continues The comfort of the several
pockets makes you feel like wearing
J one always. All kinds of maserials are
used in their manufacture, and all
kinds of effects are shown. Heavy
serges with stripes in contrast to the
color of the material; satins with vel
vet stripes, brocaded satins, silks
everything is permitted if it only har-
monies with the costume. Most OF
these Fascinating affairs are crossed
like those worn by big brother
Buttons are used in quantities. even
where they have no practical use, and
have no reason for being there. Many
are made of the same material as the
gown. the old fashioned molds being
used. Several rows of braid with but
tons often constitute the whole
trimming of the frock destined for
earlV spring.

ACTRESS REVEALS SECRET

One of the best known Partisan ac-
tresses. "a woman who wears the
Legion of Honor decoration, who al
ways looks young and who has achieved
great success in a number of recent
plays. has discovered the art of looking
eternally young. At the theater where
she is appearing the regular atten-
dants have been unanimous in ex-
claiming with admiration: How Won
derfully young she looks. How does
she do it?"
In reply the actress smiled, but kept
the secret to herself until recently,
when she confided the secret to
bosom friend. with the result which
might have been expected-every one
now knows it.
1t seems that while her friends sup
posed she was recuperating at Vichy
She was in England, where, in medi-
cal institution that makes speciality
of Improving the features andJ the
figure. she remained for three weeks,
undergoing a treatment which con-
sists of stretching the skin of the face

the wrinkles disappear entirely. Just

 Evening.

Madame Nazmova, who is thought b. many critics to be the greatest ac- tress on the English speaking stage, and whose triumphant season of more than two consecutive seasons at the Bijou theater in New York has re- gently drawn to a close, will be seen aI the Hyperion theater on Wednes- day evening, May F, in the bright comedy "Comtesse Coquette," by Rob- ert Bracco. Madame Nazimova's per formance will be given in English, and since her mastering the language she has been hailed as one of the greatest, If not actually tho greatest
 actress on the Englsh-speaking stage to-day. New York, which is always conservative in opinion, and chary of indiscriminate praise, was at loss to find superlatives enough to describe the genius of Nazimova The great actress will bring to this city her New York production complete, and he self-same cast of prominent players who were in her support during her metropolitan run. Besides Madame Nazimova there will be Miss Gertrude Berkeley, Miss Florence Fisher, Mrs. Jacques Martin, Miss Evelyn Wedding, the Misses Hill and Gladys Hulette. MT.

Former Star of "Socal Whirl" to be
 the Healthier.

Sadie Jansell, the former star of "The Social Whrl,' and new conner into the field of vaudeville with one of the most artistic sets that have been seen this season, will head the Poli aggregation for this week with some clever mpersonations of such we'll known stage celebreties as Ethel Bar rymore, Eddie Foy, Margaret Anglin and David Warfeld. Miss Jansell has sprung into prominence as a vaude- vile favorite owing to the distinct in- dividuality which he does her imper- sohations. Her work has received the appreciation of the New York press and she just concludes a triumphant metropolitan engagement
 As an added attraction of the bill there will be The Eight Hoboes," an offering by J. l.. Lasky, who has plo- duced some of the greatest acts seen in vaudeville. Lasly promises this as the best deplcter of the life of the American tramp and has especially |lengaged Gus PiXley to play an import ant part. The work is by Paul West and 1t should be one of the laughing hits of the season.

Another of those black hand cases came before the police Saturday night when Louis Lorro of 35 Davenport avenue, who was formerly an employe of the Theatre Comque of the Pol combination In this city was arrested on Q charge of blackmailing Thomas Ray, the manager of the place The manager, 1t seems, received a letter from the ex-empoye demanding that he leave S5,000 under stone at the corner of Forest and oak streets under pain of the death of both himself and his son. The letter was signed with a black hand only, but is supposed to have come from Lorro
 Ray then did T little probing on his own account Lorro's signature on the Comique payroll proved his undoing. The manager suspecting that it might be some discharged employe compared the writing in the letter with sigma lures on the payroll and decided that Lorro was the blackmailer Then he made complaint to the detective bureau and Sergeant Dennehy with Detective Dorman took up the case.
