A woman to whom the artistic cult in our city owe much is Mrs. Leon Cole, before her marriage Carolyn Lum, and then. as now. a personality intensely in- teresting to lovers of music.
 Mrs. Coles studio is an attractive nook in her home on Sixteenth avenue, south. It Is in quiet section of the street where are few distractions from without, and the frankly comfortable room, which in it's lack of superhuous brie-a-brae, it's well-chosen pictures, its inviting chairs, the few curios, each with its especial meaning, and the piano which is the key to it all, afford a sitting entirely in. har- istic good sense. good taste, good judg- ment and artistic charm they reflect

CLEVER YOUNG
 ALABAMA SINGER.

Miss Theresa Wallen whose picture ap- pears in todays Age-Herald, is a young Decatur girl whose talent Is receiving recognition abroad She Is a native Ala bamian and has been an apt music stu dent since the age of 6. She studied first in the convent at Cullman and later at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.
 Miss Wallen has spent the past three years In Berlin, and since November has been studying voice culture with Pro- lessor Goldschmidt. Just before going to Europe she was heard by selected CO., terie of Birmingham people in a recital given in Mir. and Mrs. Gussen's studio the Birmingham Conservatory of Music She is quite a young girl, just r, and Is said to show great promise She is suc- ceeding, too, in spite of limited means.

of the exercise and the breathing drills that have produced such remarkable muscular development. She is an earnest advocate of athletic sports, recognizing their potency in securing chest expansion and breath control T am fond of swim ming said Mrs. Cole, 'and have found 1t wonderfully helpful, and conversely, my singing has helped me to swim. Someone remarked not long since that 1t was so odd I never seemed to grow tired and my breath never gave out in swimming. I answered that it would be more re- marl1able, and certainly very embarrass- ing if my breath did give out, after the work that have done and the exercise advocate"
 When you studied in the east" in- terposed, did you not give a great deal of time to physical development as well as vocal culture?'
 "Yes, indeed" said Mrs Cole but I regarded that as part of the voice train- ing Instruction under Sandow increased my chest expansion an inch and a half. I insist upon exercise and an abundance of fresh air for my pupils, otherwise I cannot guarantee success. Any athletic sport is good. I expect to take up horse- backing this fall-a recreation that gave up several years ago. I don't think any exercise can be better for the singer than that. I don't mean, she continued, that in the strengthening of the vocal organs I aim at increasing the volume of the voice in the beginning of my training. I Eo1r ba, Io %a1ra there. My idea, rather, is to perfect the quality of the tones, leaving the other to come later. In gaining sweetness and purity of tone, strength is sure to be reached anyway"
 The liquid sweetness of Mrs. Coles own lovely voice and it's resonance and volume are a splendid proof of the correctness of her ideas. At this point she was asked something of her vocal instructors. and I found in her response the reason for the thoroughness which is a recognized char acteristic of Mrs. Coles musoianship. Her musical education from the beginning of her fundamental work was received at the New England conservatory, with all that this means of modern methods and training, with later study in Boston. She was a pupil of Rotoli In Boston, con temporary of the celebrated Signor Venen- chini, and he is one of her most valued friends Another prominent eastern musi- elan whose cordial interest Mrs. Cole has retained since leaving the conservatory Is Louis Elston, the teacher, critic and con- poser. Mrs. Cole speaks of him with tho greatest affection and says she regards him as second to none among the music critics of the country.

 T have been so much interested in Miss Breed" said, "since I heard of the terrible experience she had in the loss of her own voice, and I think, under the circumstances, her loyalty to her teacher is wonderful"
 Yes said Miss Mallam, "She was the pupil of Julius Hey in Berlin, studying with him when very young. She did not know that her voice was being over taxed until 1t was too late, and so one day her voice that had promised so much and had made the master so ambitious for her. was all gone. She does not sing but she is great teacher-indeed. an ideal teacher, and she says she owes everything to Hey. I think, too, that this gratitude and affection for him shows what great big woman she is
 ''Is sine an attractive woman personal Tyr l inquired, and the answer was, Not at all-Just at first. One must know her before realizing her charm. She has an abrupt manner and impresses one as just all business. She seldom praises one, but as she never fails to call att tention to defects, her pupils always know very well what progress they are making. You will meet her, however, and can judge for yourself as to her per sonality. whether magnetic or otherwise, as I am expecting her to visit me during the Christmas holidays. She thought of returning home with me, but as she suf- CTS greatly from the heat, we both de- cided that it would be wise to wait until winter"
 Did you not visit her, Miss Mallam ?' I asked, and she told of. q delightful two weeks in the musicians home, which her description pictures as charming. Mme. Breed has travelled much and the souve- mfrs of her journeys are most interest ing. She has the Japanese art craze and her collection of pottery, china, paintings and tapestries is beautiful.

 Did you not have other teachers in Chicago before studying with her?' I asked. and she said. "Yes, I studied with both Mrs. Stacey Williams and pr. Al lums. but that was when I first went to Chicago years ago. have done most of my work, however, with Mre. Breed and am most enthusiastic over her meth- ods. I have had the same lessons to learn that other ambitious people have had before me-one is that art is very, very long. When I first began to study I imagined that everything would be &C., complished in a short time and that I would reach the heirhts in just little while. I have felt discouraged at times, too, but now I am all eagerness to begin my work. I have never before felt so

 Miss Mallam. aside from being cap ital teacher, has q delightful soprano voice.
