AMERICANS IN GRAND OPERA.
There Are Few of Them Because
They Won't Sing in Chorus.

Opera-goers would have to discard
their opera glasses and lorgnettes for
telescopes to find the Americans on
the Metropolitan stage. There ara
only about ten in all, and they are in
the chorus, says the New York Times.
OF this dearth of Americans a mem
Der of the executive stan at the Metro
politan said:
Americans with operate aspira-
lions are not content to go into the
chorus. They must be at the top OF
the heap and have the principal roles
or nothing. The result is we have no
professional chorus people. In Eu-
rope the chorus man or m makes
it a regular profession. Generation
after generation in a family often
goes into 1t. They know the roper
toire, which Americans do not. So
there is nothing left to do but to bring
the chorus people from abroad. In the
course of time, l suppose, this will be
corrected. Mr.. Conried is trying to
find a remedy with the school Of
opera. The American is still, how
ever, an exception in the grand opera
chorus"
