Famous Artists Are
Warm In Praise Of
Rosemary Pfaff

Rosemary Pfaff, the twelve-year-
old prodigy who will sing in Fargo
early in October Is attracting much
attention with her extraordinary
vocal gifts. Anna Held, Robert Man
tell, Louise Homer, Fortune Gallo
and other prominent personages in
the world of musical and dramatic
art have pronounced her a real prod
igy with a voice outrivaling that of
any other child. Some have called
her the child Tetrazzini," her high
notes being taken as easily as the
great artist for whom she Is named,
and she has also been called a Sec
ond Patti and a recond Jenny Lind.
Rosemary Pfaff at the age OF three
years possessed q beautiful and
powerful singing voice. we are told,
and at nine yeas of age began her
voice study. Her work from the be-
ginning included only the most diff
cult music, which she readily COM
mitted to memory. Her repertoire
now consists of over $50 songs. in
four languages, and includes arias
from twelve grand operas. Miss Alma
Voedisch, of the Boston Grand Opera
company, who is watching the child's
career with great interest. says that
her voice is very much like Nine.
Tamaki Mirera- the great japanese
prima donna. The child has had work
under the great Hungarian teacher,
Sander Radonivats, who is considered
Chicago's greatest voice builder, and
at the present time is working with
Rudolph Heyne, under whose careful
direction she is learning her opera
roles.
This young girl. who comes to
Fargo under the auspices of the
Fargo Conservatory of Music, her
concert arrangements being in charge
of Prof. F. ]. Sucher, is also the for
tunate possessor Of pronounced ply
steal beauty, which combined with
childish simplicity stands out as
natural gift priceless and rare.

Cranston Recital
Musical Treat At
Normal This Evening

X. a. Cranston, a well known AM
erican lyric tenor who appears In
recital this evening in the Moorhead
Normal school auditorium, has a
number Of riends in Fargo and Moor
head, and has been spending the
summer months here and at his
home, In Downer, MINI. Mr.. Grams
ton, who has been quite widely rec
ognized as gifted artist, received
most OF his musical education In
Chicago and at Virginia university.
Most of his time during the past few
years has been spent in the east,
where he has done considerable reel
tai work.
Mr.. Cranston will engage in recital
work until the holiday season, after
which he plans to 20 to New York
city to study voice with Oscar
Saenger for the rest of the season
unless he should later decide to ac-
cept an offer recently made him to
teach at Randolph Macon, Lynch
burg, Va.
His appearance at the Normal
school this evening will be under the
auspices OF Grace M. e. church of
Moorhead, and his accompanist will
be a Fargo young man, Rexford
Reyes, a graduate OF the Dakota
Conservatory OF Music.

the rather surprising fact, consider
ing the social customs so long pre-
vailing, that the Y. w. c. A. in
Buenos Aires works hand in hand
with the Y. NJ. G. A. there. and ex-
pressed surprise that more OF such
cooperation Is not found in this
country.
A very interesting part of her dis
course related to the manner In
which she was induced to take up
the work there, her original inten-
ton after completing her education
in the United States, having been
to return to her home. Mexico City,
to do kindergarten work. IL was still
her intention to do this eventually.
when she went to South America,
but owing to the unsettled condi-
tions in Mexico at present, and the
impossibility of carrying out her
plans there just now, she will re-
turn to Buenos Aires earlyg next
spring. English was the most popu-
lar language down there last year,
she stated. The general Y. W. G. A.
work was first started there in 1906,
and the special work among Spanish
speaking girls. OF which she is in
charge, was begun in 1911.
If the rest of the North Central
field associations agree to the plan,
the MINNEAPOLIS association alone
will in the future undertake the
support Of Miss Cortez' work there,
transferring the support of the 9TH
err eighteen associations in the field
to two additional workers, who are
badly needed.
Miss Cortez, whom Mrs. Zicke-
foose, general secretary, introduced.
was greeted at the "Y" parlors
Sunday afternoon by an audience so
large as to considerably overtax the
seating capacity OF those rooms.
Many had the pleasure of later
greeting her personally, and examin-
ing a number Of interesting South
American curios which she carries
with her on this tour of the North
Central field. A beautiful vocal solo
by Mrs. A. A. Knopp. with Mrs. F..
NJ. Cleveland as accompanist, pre-
coded the address, and hostesses
during the social hour which follow
ed were Mrs. Comstock, Mrs. D. B.
Holt, and Mrs J. E. Johnson. Coffee,
sandwiches and doughnuts were
served. The meeting was a splendid
beginning for the seasons vesper
service.
Miss Cortez, who was the guest of
Mrs. Zickefoose while here, left this
morning for Grand Forks, where she
will be the guest today and tomor-

Society NeuS
Wilson's Mexican Policy Has
Changed Viewpoint of South
America, AUerS Miss COrtez

Direct from the capital of the Ar
gentine republic came assurance
sunday afternoon in utterances Of
Miss Elisa Cortez. Y. w. c. A. sec
rotary at Buenos Aires for the last
1ye and one-haIf years of the friendly
feeling which the South American
continent now has for the United
States. This friendly feeling Miss
Cortez attributes. with ample au-
thority for her statement, to Presi-
dent woodrow Wilson's wise Mexi-
can policy. Your president knew
what he was doing with Mexico"
said this earnest speaker in her
charmingIy accented English. His
Mexican policy has changed the
minds of the whole South American
continent toward the American peo-
pie. It was one of the most wonderful
pieces of work in international poll
tics that has ever been SEEM
Miss CorteZ paid further tribute
TO Wilson in her address at the Y.
w. C. A. vesper service, and read a
lengthy letter from one of the "Y"
workers in the Argentine, telling Of
a pro-war demonstration in BuenOs
Aires the last Fourth Of July. in
the course of which the American
flag was honored in that national
capital as never before. The writer
of the letter described the demon
stration as the greatest celebration
OF the Fourth that had ever been
held there.
Whereas before our Mexican
trouble the South American people
were firmly convinced that 1t was
the United States ultimate inten-
ton to annex Mexico. they are now
Just as firmly convinced Of this coun-
try's honorable intentions, empha-
sized Miss Cortez, and she speaks

can and the Latin patriot, predict

Cadman Has No Indian
Blood In His Veins,
AS Many People Think

There is always more or less
curiosity concerning the personality
of an artist about to appear in a
city, and it is often asked what
composer Cadman looks like" In
the first place he is not Indian nor
| does he have one bit of aboriginal
blood in his veins (unlike his CO.
partner Princess Tsianina, who is a
genuine Indian.) In various parts of
the country Cadman has been ac-
cused of being an Indian because Of
many years association with Indian
folklore and personal association
with prominent members Of that
race.
The composer is typically Ameri-
can in every sense of the word or
rather western American" in speech
and ideals because of middle west
nativity and long western residence,
in spite of a New England ancestry.
According to feminine newspaper
interviews the composer does not be-
long to that circle Of artists who
are handsome and dreamy eyed.
The Detroit Journal once said: I'm
appearance, Cadman is neither home
ly nor good looking. His dress suit
fits him with neither artistic pre-
cision or slouchiness. He might be
mistaken for a bank clerk. A little
shock of coal black hair hangs over
his forehead q la Governor Sulzer,
and his face is ablaze with enthusi-
asm when he is speaking or playing.
He is of rather slight physique, but
wiry looking and a bundle Of nervous
energy at all times. In short, he re-
sembles the well-known type of
enthusiastic young American"
This is a fair picture Of Cadman,
author of The Land of the Sky-blue
Water and At Dawning and student
and exponent of American Indian
folk song.
Princess Tsianina's beauty, her
artistic costuming and pantomime
alone are sufficient to hold her audi
ences enthralled, and she has a
mezzo voice of an unusual quality,
quality perhaps common among her
people, which she uses intelligently.
Her voice is said to remind one of
Emmy Destinn, in timbre. being soft,
pleasant and evenly cultivated. A
leading Chicago music critic once
said of her: Her efforts were vast
ly more interesting than those OF
many palefaces whose technique is
superior to hers" Princess Tsian-
ina has fully legitimatized her claim
as the most distinguished interpreter
of her native songs. She gives them
with the touch that is the possession
of each race for its own music. These
two artists appear late in October.

Miss Lillian Wright
To Make Her Musical
Debut On Oct. ID

"A host of. local friends will be en-
tertained in a Chicago musical event
on Sunday afternoon. Oct. IA, when
Miss Lillian Wright, a well known
Moorhead girl, will make her debut
at Play House, Michigan avenue,
that city.
A few days previous to that event,
on Oct. IL, Miss Wright will appear
in recital in Milwaukee with Maxi
milan Pilzer, a violinist Of consid-
cradle note. MISS Wright recently
sang for Sheehan. in Chicago, and so
favorable was the impression which
she made that she received an offer
to 60 with the Boston Grand Opera
company this season. Miss Wright
has declined this offer, however, to
go into recital work.

in sympathies and aims as never be-
fore. The eyes of the South Amer
lean womanhood are upon you young
women of the United States" she
declared, and made a stirring ap-
peal that the latter set an example
that anyone would be proud TO fol-
low. Particularly is this important
in these complicated war times, Miss
Cortez emphasized.
Only One "Y" On Continent.
Miss Cortez made the startling
statement that at Buenos Aires is
located the only Y. w. c. A. asso-
citation on the whole South Amert-
can continent of fifty-five millions
of people, that city alone having a
population of a million and a half
people. That statement alone would
seem to be sufficient appeal for more
Y. w. c. A. secretaries, but Il was
strengthened with various interest
cation means not only to South
American young womanhood, Just
coming into some of the freedom
that girls of the United States have
known for years. but to young wn-
men of many other nationalities ar
irving there friendless and eager tn
grasp wonderful opportunities that
often prove a myth. Sixteen ma
tionalities were housed at one time
under the Buenos Aires "Y" roof
during the year 1915.
The South American young wo-
men are just beginning to go into
business life, related Miss Cortez,
and are exposed to all the dangers
Of unaccustomed freedom as we'll
as suspicious arising from the re-
strictions that still characterize the
social customs of that country. This
makes the responsibilities devoIving
upon the ~" all the greater, and
gives a wonderful opportunity for
