Singer Thinks Atlanta VIII Put Wagner on Map Again

Mrs. CartheW- Yorstoun To Be

Auditorium-Armo

Grand opera may some day owe much
to Atlanta if the pet theory OF Mrs.
Carthew Yorstoun. formerly Miss Nell
lie Knight, of Atlanta, and Georgia's
single contribution to the list of world
prima donnas, proves to be correct.
Mrs. Yorstoun believes 1t is in Atlanta's
power to bring Americas musical taste
back to him who made modern opera
Wagner.
In an engaging interview on things
both musical and personal, Mrs. Yor-
stoun, who will sing two Wagnerian
arias and a Gounod selection at the
Auditorium on Sunday, lent credullty to
her theory by her enthusiasm for the
greatest of music dramas and Allan
ta's keen response to. the intellectual
in music.

CITY TAX RAISE IS
NEEDED-CANDLER
Municipality Is in Bad Financial
Way-Revision of Budget
Is Begun.

Alderman John S. Gambler. chairman
of the council finance committee, was
at work today with Comptroller Gold
smith preparing a tentative revision Of
the municipal budget
Alderman Gambler said the city was
strained financially. All the depart
ments are crying for more money. He
said the only means he saw for the city
to get its finances adjusted was to raise
the tax rate from 1875 per cent to $50
per cent.
Indications are that all the nest
eggs" provided in the budget in Janu-
airy will be taken out when the new
budget is presented to council in Octo-
Der The October budget is merely a
readjustment of the January budget.
Funds are running so short that many
of the appropriations made just to start
improvements will be recalled.
Thousands of dollars was thus dis
tributed. Much of the money is lying
idle without any chance of it being
spent this year. 1t is very uncertain
which will be recalled. Every council
man will strenuously oppose the recall
of any funds from his pet schemes.
How 100000 Was Spent.
F. A, Quillian, chairman of the bond
commission, today completed a state
ment of the expenditures of the So
100000 bond issue money. The items
include the premiums from the sale of
bonds.
OF the 4,94S.54 water bond money
$76S,SS52l has been expended.
Of the $l01, 41136 of hospital bond
money $97437.97 has been expended.
OF the $50, 7O5.6S crematory bond

1t is her firm conviction that Wag-

And in Atlanta's appreciation for this

In undreamed realms for strangely
beautiful themes to depict the story OF
the human soul, she finds more than a
hopeful sign, 1t is prophetic of the
fact the dreamer OF Bayreuth will again
overshadow all composers for Ameri-
cans.
Atlanta, she believes, will again put
Wagner on the American musical map.
Mrs Yorstoun, who has just expert
enced four years enforced absence from
the operate stage because of i'll health,
was in high humor at the thought that
she again is able to resume her sing
ing.
To Be Heard in Concert.
Atlanta is TO have the first opportu-
nifty on Sunday of hearing her after
many years. She sang here before fin
ishing her musical education in Europe.
The Romeo and Juliet aria of Gounod,
Elizabeth Enterance aria from Tam
hauser and Isolde's Death Song from
Tristan and Isolde will be her offerings
at the Auditorium.
Opera is her chosen field. After it,
she says. the concert stage is cold. Ora
torio she finds brilliant and beautiful,
but too glacile. 1t is in the warmth Of
the trappings and colorings of opera

the role most suited to her genius.
