It is also practically assured that
Nine. Schumann-H eink will sing
several patriotic selections dear to
America, including OF course, our
Star Spangled Banner. Her assist
ant, Mr.. Mcnamara. has appeared
with her in concerts for years and Is
himself quite famous.
Music critics everywhere have
agreed that never has Schumann-
Heink sung so we'll as during the
last year, and attribute the fact 10
the additional emotional depth OF
her nature due to the pulling Of her
very heartstrings in the world war.
One Of the famous contralto's sons
has just enlisted in the aviation
corps, which makes three Of them
fighting for Uncle Sam, while a
fourth son is with the German army.
Some of the greatest ovations ever
paid Schumann- Heink have been at
benefit concerts OF a patriotic nature
in this country in recent months, and
it is with delight that one learns her
aria, All mon Fills 20 My SOM. from
the opera lie Prophetic, (Meyerbeer),
is on her program here. That aria.
The Fri King, and The Rosary, have
been her most tremendous hits at
the above mentioned benefit con-

self unreservedly, endearing herself
anew to the American public.

the world conflict is that music crit
les generally have, with marked I'M

music, holding that it's splendor Is
above al other considerations. Thus
is explained the fact that German
compositions are being played even
in Paris at the present time.

first began to sing she was a pupil
at the Ursuline convent near Prague.
The little girl. her name then was
Ernestine Roessler. was found to
have a pretty voice, so she was al
lowed to sing in the choir where she
sang entirely by ear. When she did
we'll the nuns gave her cookie and
IL she made any mistakes she had
her ears boxed! So, as she some
times remarks, my musical educa-
ton consisted Of cookies and slaps".
IL was several years later. after
she had actually had her voice train
ed by a teacher who took a deep in
