5isPHAM MAKES PREDICTION.
Declares Day of Grand Opera in Eng
ish Will Come.

David Bispham, foremost OF Ameri-
can baritones, who recently entertained
.at the Calumet theater under the au-
spices of the Woman's club, declares
that the day will come when grand OPP
era in English will run side by side
with the imported article.
THE English language lends itself
to singing more readily than either
the French or German" said Mr.. Bis
pham in Detroit. but Italian is still
the leading musical language.
AS music developed Italian singers
and Italian opera found its way into
the continental contries and into Eng
land. 1t was believed that voices could
only be trained i'm Italy and the prom
ising singers of those countries went
there to learn to sing. The result was
that they returned filed with Italian
ideas and methods and the reign of
Italian i'm the grand opera field con-
tinued.
But gradually the French and Ger
mans demanded their own music and
1t came, as it must always come when
the people demand it. We will have
grand opera in English az national
institution some day. Mr.. Savage did
great things along this line but he was
in that he was forced To
deal with the matter purely as a COM
mercial enterprise while the foreign
grand opera is subsidized.
When an opera is produced i'm Eng
lish the roles are given to foreign
singers who cannot talk the English
language TO say nothing of singing it.
Then, too. If you will notice many
Of the foreign artistes cannot be UNI
derstood when they sing in their own
language"

Checkers" one of the best theatrical
offerings on the road. is a Calumet
visitor today. arranging for the pro-
ducton of the play at the Calumet
theater on oct. "a.
Checkers" is described by the crit
les of New York, Chicago Philadelphia
and Boston as a dramatization not on
1y equal but superior to the book from
which II is taken. The play has had
twenty most successful engagements
i'm New York during the past six
years. II brings with IL the creden-
tails of success i'm the shape of very
warm newspaper praise from theatrical
authorities i'm every city of America,
and the very enviable box office state
ments showing that the success from
a financial point Of view is quite as
great as from the artistic.
The play Is described by William
Winter of the New York Tribune as
'"The greatest racing play since the
days Of The Flying Scud.'" Opie
Reed, the noted novelist, has spoken
OF II as "One of the choicest, strong

umet Y. NJ. c. A. The success OF this
entertainment augurs well for the sue
cess of the entire course.
The orchestra consists of seven Ia
dies and one gentleman, all Of whom
are talented and versatile musical ar
lists. With the first number. The
Proboscidian," a march by Willis. the
audience was captivated by the Won
.cerful control and harmony Of the mu-
sicians. The descriptive power of mu-
sic is amply demonstrated i'm the over
ure number, "Orpheus in the Lower
World" by Offenbach. Two selections
on the flute by Miss frankie A. Cra-
mer followed. Miss Cramer proved her
self master Of that sweet toned in
strument. Readings by Cora La Prode
Cawthon, who is also the orchestra's
drummer, were well received. The first
was a French dialect selection. which
was rendered in a delightful manner.
Miss Esther s. Ecklcs, followed with
two vocal solos Miss Eckles did not
do herself justice i'm the first of these.

Ing by Miss Eckles. The horn quar-
tette, Misses Rupprecht Hopkins and
Cramer, and Mr.. Runner. rendered the
SeXtet from Lucia" in very pleasing
manner Another reading by Miss
Cawthon followed.
Probably the best number of the en-
tire evening was the selection by Miss
Mary Lutz violin director, Concerto
for Violin" by Tschaikowsh. Miss
Lutz proved herself violnist of rare
ability, putting her whole heart and
soul into the playing. Her interpre-
tations Of the difficult passages were
excellent.
The last number of the regular pro-
gram, "A Trip to Coney Island" by
Tobani, added variety to the numbers
previously rendered and was very well
received
The entertainment closed with the
rendering of America"
