PEN WOMEN SEEK
OPERA In ENGLISH
Chicago, Woman Inspires
Plan for School.
WORDS ARE NOT UNDERSTOOD
" America Doesn't Know what
Grand Opera Means" Declares
Mrs. Annie A. Wilder. Historian OF
Club, Who Predicts the English
Tongue VIII Become Universal.

To establish national school of Eng
lish opera. the League of American Pen
Women is bending its efforts. since a let
ter has been received from Eleanor Ever
est Freer. of Chicago. telling of her sue
cess in that direction.
'Tonal color is lost when the words
sung are not understood. said Mrs. An
ME A. Wilder. historian of the league,
yesterday
America doesn't know what grand
opera means, except very small per
cent who can understand foreign
tongues Since we are quite confident
English will be the universal language,
and that words play an important role
in opera, we should turn our attention
to the technique OF speech, according TO
the laws OF resonance.
What IL Means to StaEeIand.
THE idea of all vocal music suRg in
good, rich, rare old English is beautiful
to contemplate. Our language is our
medium of transmitting poetic thought.
and Mrs. Freer has taken a step in the
right direction. She viii soon discover
that she has awakened a very important
issue.
In English opera we would have some
thing that would be appreciated by an
American audience. We have Tettrazinis.
MeIbas, and great singers that could in
terpret to US what we have lost for ages.
because we do not all understand the
words We hear.
The very moment our transIations OF
foreign operas are recognized as stand
ards works. continued Mrs. Wilder,
there will be a new interchange of art.
At this point things become information
al. Through a national school Of opera
established in our own land, the public
would realize the possibility that all
forms OF musical composition could be
sung in English, and we will become
more and more loyal to the opportunities
afforded al home, instead OF going abroad
to study"
work of Mrs. Freer
Mrs. Freer has set twenty-five sonnets
OF Elizabeth B. Browning. translated
from Portuguese to English. to music as
a Song Cycle" for medium voice. and
each sonnet is a comrlete solo, which
may be sung with or without other
voices. 1t is on the subject of these SON.
nets and the general idea of translating
operas into English that the Pen Wom-
ems League has taken up correspondence
with Mrs. Freer, and the subject of a
school win be formally discussed at the
next league meeting, which is the Md
March meeting.
