SINGING TO A PH0NOGRAPH.
One Of the Most Trying OrdeaIs In an
Opera Artists Career.

Opera Artists Career.
Specially constructed violins, cellos.
tubas. drums and reed instruments
are required as accompaniment to the
grand opera singer when he or she
essays to watt the voice upon a phOno-
graph record. And it is safe to say
this singing to the phonograph is the
most trying ordeal in the artists ca
reer.
Singers like Caruso, Melba. Farrar.
Amato and host of others are united
in declaring the singing for records
is the hardest work they ever have
undertaken. They are bereft of their
| audiences that inspire confidence. and
they necessarily must be careful to
avoid false notes or infections. The
slightest clearing of the throat or the
mullled shuffling of feet will spoil a
| record. And then it all has to be done
over again
