reporter al Madison Square Garden about

"You acquire speed" ne said only by

thoughts bore on one thing in December
"The little boys teacher was giving him

, the most charming bits Of composition OF
cur time, and Lionel Monckton. who, at
first only an amateur, has turned out sew
eraI most delightful scores among them
being The Quaker Girl now playing in
New York. AS for France, there is little Of
merit TO be found there at present as far
as operctta is concerned"
The Tribune reporter then asked Herr
Hollaender if he would tell him something
about himself and his connection with
! "Sumurun.'
II was born in Silcsia and studied music
I'm Berlin" said Herr Hollaender, ana
most OF my life has been devoted to con-
ducting operettas and writing them. Oh
late years / have conducted only my own
compositions at the Metropole Thcater IN
Berlin. for which ! write all the revues
and elsewhere. ! have written in addition
two grand operas one Of which Is founded
on the play The Cat and the Chcrub, or
which the scores are laid in Chinatown,
San Francisco. and the other on 'Trilby
The Cat and the Cherub' has been pro-
duced i'm Germany and England, but so Tar
/ 'Trilby' has failed TO get herself upon the
stage. / have, Of course, written hght
cperas without number, and have now a
contract to compose three for American
managers.
WRITING THE "sUMuRuN" MUSIC.
81 was in Vienna when Max Reinhardt
tcIephoned me that me wished me TO write
the music for a partomlme | had neye"
done ANYTHING OF the sort, as rantomlme
was a lost art in Germany, and at hrst
dcmurrcd At length l agreed TO the prop
osition. provided the. play would not last
more than an hour. but when j got INTO
the swing of the thing the work gre" and
grew and grew. At length came the ume
for production for which we had engaged
the Kammcrspiele Theater for thirty days.
The rebearsals took so long that we were
able TO play only three days at this thea
tre So little faith had we in the success
OF the work that the day before the pro
duction Mr. Rcinhardt would have been
willing "a sell his rights for $l2j. only there
was no one willing 10 buy them
'Sumurun' has run more or less con
tiuUouslv ever since.
II had AT first q good deal OF trouble IN
drilling tn, actors in the music, becaLse
fcw Of them had ever appeared in any
thing musical They were all fine actors
and acted well but not 10 the music II
was practically like creating a new art
for pantomime artists were not to b. found
outside of Italy; but with patience ana
the extreme intelligence of the actors
finally succeeded IN drilling them into mar
nonizing their actions to the music
''As TO my music, ! consider the great
est compliment was paid to me when En-
gelbert .Humperdinck wrote me saying that
he was much interested in the way had
introduced trombones and horns after |
had written the original score without any
proylslon for these instruments. Professor

Strauss is truly "a genius, but one who to
