cause one woman has learned her job

the art of fitting, and when a custo-
mer goes TO her she knows that she IS
going TO get firstclass work and that
she will not have TO send the dress
back for alteration. The other woman
is a hack dressmaSer, who has never

girls who took an interest in their jobs,
who turned out letter perfect work,
who charged their memories with office

sooner OF later, everyone viii have to
pause to liste nto It. Wherefore, ] can
not write offhand how a girl may know
whether or not her voice is fitted for
the huge career of which she dreams.
The Necessary Attributes.
But ] can write of the comparatively
minor vet absolutely necessary attributes
a girl viii have to possess if she Is to
make her voice count in the operate
world. For years past now. whenever
anybody has asked me what must be the
main possession of one who wishes TO
become an opera singer, l always an
swer: Brains, more brains, and then
some brains" And then. alas I must
answer, also: money, more money, and
then some money
For there Is no musical instrument
so tender that so absolutely vibrates to
every condition as the human voice.
She who would cultivate It must live
not in comfort but in luxury. She must
never be too warm or too cold; too hun
CIV or not hungry enough; and she
never must permit herself to be
physically tired The slightest cold, the
least thing that one may eat which has
not agreed with ones stomach. and the
whole voice Is rasned and shaken from
its foundation Of beauty.
Must Have Physique.
From this I think you would guess
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-06-05

that the girl who desires 20 become
an opera singer must start, IN the first
place. with a magnificent physique. A
girl who is not physically strong and
who wishes TO follow an operate career
viii be struggling against almost IN
surmOuntable difficulties. To begin with
her voice would not have the requisite
tone and quality, depth and bigness as
long as she suffered from any disability
of the body. Then there Is the work
the study, the endurance necessary to
be able to put in day after day labor
as trying as any which is done in build
ing a railroad.
And all the time one has ones highly
organized temperament and mentality to
sustain and to direct. Remember that
to the girl who wishes to become an
opera singer and study an absolute mas
terry of at least four languages Is only
one Of the minor steps in the direction
she would follow.
She must know perfectly French, Ger
man. Italian and English. To the aver
age girl these studies alone would take
at least three years Of her life. Think
of this as but one of the smaller
branches in the work of the girl who.
wishes TO become an opera singer and
YOU viii begin to understand the ire
mendous task she has before her.

Another GHOST Disastrous
Season in History" Closes
Fer New York Theaters.


TEW YORK, June Smother
M most disastrous theatrical sea
= son ever" is nearing the end OF
the trail, and Broadway managers are
breathing deep and heartfelt signs Of
relief.
However the CRY Of a disastrous sea
son Is taken with q grain OF salt, Tor
the same vail has been heard every
dramatic wear since the memory OF man
runneth not to the contrary
1t must be admitted that the 1914-19l5
season has had its fair share OF bad
luck. Broadway early i the year was
strewn with wrecks Of all sorts Of plays,
new and revived.
On the road It was even worse, the
trail being blazed with the whitening
bones Of many productions while the
season vet was young. The plays that
survived on the One-night- stand and
kerosene eirCtits were all last years
shows or of even earlier vintage.
in New York there are 43 producing
theaters. In these houses during the
season, ia productions were put on. OF
these, 113 were new plays, p were re-
vived plays, p were new musical come
dies, SIX were revived musical comedies
and II were Shaksperian.
The new PLAYS enjoyed runs totalling
81 weeks, revivals 81 weeks, new mu-
steal comedies $50 weeks, revivals q
weeks. In the IS producing theaters
during the season there were approx
mateluy 1913 weeks Of playgoing.
Despite the European war, which
drove countless English actors and play
wrights TO the United States, Americans
had all the best of the season. OF the
113 new plays, native authors wrote 72
of them, while Al were by foreigners.
Fifteen native composers wrote new
musical productions, against seven for
tigners.
In New York It might have been
lssco in collaboration with the late
Charles Frohman, put on a revival of

cast which still is running at the EN-

pre- theater. The engagement has been
extended TO the middle of June.
"Tribly" was revived with Wilton
Lackaye as Svengsli and others of the
original cast IN the piece. 1t had good
run.
In passing it may be said that there
were two real disasters this season, the
untimely death of Charles FrOhman on
the Inflated Lusitania, and the ampu-
tatiOn Of Sarah Bernhardt's leg. How
ever, it remains to see how severe a
blow at the drama the Bordeaux sur
geOns struck. The greatest actress IS
coming to New York again in Septem-
Der. Her devoted are waiting with
hated breath TO see what sort of q
Sarah Is coming. The death of Froh-
man reminded Broadwayfarers that two
other theatrical mRgnates met violent
deaths, Henry 3. Harris on the Titanic
in 1912 and sam S. ShUbert in a train
wreck IN 1903.
The war and the business depression
in this country last fall were the con-
tributing causes of the poor season.
One authority told me that of the many
shows sent out of New York during
the season, barely half a dozen paid any
thing like normal profits.
An extraordinary high standard OF
excellence, however, marked the plays
put on
1t was significant that Augustus
Thomas. Sir James Barrie. Sir Arthur
PinerO, John Galsworthv and several
other well known playwriters contrib
uted no plays.
David Belasco's contributions included
one failure, The Vanishing Bride
which did not get 20 Broadway. but
this was more than compensated by the
excellence of "The Phantom Rival and
the war play "Alario-Odilo.7

An important recent event in New
York was the opening Of The Passing

fering at the Winter garden. The cast

ISTEN, girls. Do you want to get
out Of the minimum wage class
- and into one that gets a comforta-
BILE pay envelope on Saturday night?
There's a way. It's by studying your
job, and taking a real, burning heart
interest in your work.
There's a lot Of talk about women
not being paid living wage. and
about woman's work not being paid
as well as mans work. It's all very
sad and the saddest part OF it is that
It's the relentless work out Of the law
Of cause and effect, and the reason that
women are poorly paid is because so
often their work IS poor work
When a woman does good work,
when she puts intelligence and energy
and aIertness and faithfulness into her
work, she doesn't have to grumble
about her salary. For firstclass work
she gets paid firstclass money.
Don't Expect to Keep at Il.
The great trouble with girls who
go out TO earn their living is that
they don't expect to work but little
while, and so they do not take the
trouble to learn their job thoroughly.
and they only. feel the casual and per-
functory interest in it that one does
in a makeshift. They look forward
to matrimony as their real career. and
so they work with only one eye on
their task and the other roaming
around in search Of a husband

in the interior. and thence came gold

Among the AIuyscas the art Of work
