and Chicago eighteen times. Gabrilo-
witsch can discuss with equal facility the
increase in musical appreciation and the
rolling stock of transcontinental roads.
In music, perhaps more than in any
other art, specialization and PERSONAL
ity count tremendously. A musician who
does not specialize has no enthusiastic fol-
lowing, and the veriest marvel of tech
nique can fail disastrously if he lack that
mysterious personal quality which slips
across the footlights, an invisible spirit, to
enter the heart of his public.
Julia Culp might be called the master
of specialization. She offers nothing but
songs.
Leginska, the English pianiste, is a
triumph of personality. And, speaking
of specialization, there is profit and fame
for the artist who devotes herself largely
to sacred music. woman who found
this out last season and who is reaping her
reward in bookings for the present season
is Caroline Hudson Alexander, soprano
soloist in the choir of Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, New York, and popular in
oratoriO
Grand opera reputation is valuable to
the concert or recital artist. Many grand
opera singers make flying trips in the
season and long tours in the spring.
Among the opera folk who look pleasant
when their managers telephone about re-
cital dates may be mentioned Frieda

the battle of Lemberg, increased his popu-
lar appeal. 1t is said that he cleared, in
recitals and royalties on works, 100000.
Mischa Elman, another popular idol
among lovers of the violin, gave lO3 reci-
tails in the East and Middle West last sea-
son. The musical world-and by that
is meant the managerial minds-fgures
that his average returns on recital are
$500, or perhaps $S2, ,4OO-on the season,
with as much more for his violin records.
And Elman is not yet thirty!
Julia Culp, the popular Dutch "lieder"
singer, gives three or four recitals week
between November | and April |, at not
less than $500 an appearance Small
wonder that at the end of her season she
goes home to rest and dream of her next
trip to America.
Reinald Warrenrath, who is one of the
leading figures in the recital world, and,
typical of the musicians in demand by
musical organizations and clubs, gave
ninety-one recitals last season and is re-
engaged for the entire tour for the coming
season.
Ossip Gabrilowitsch known among
music lovers as the tone poet, and typical
of the artist whose recitals are enjoyed by
students, specialized last season on a
series of six recitals tracing the history of
composition for the piano This historical
series, with general recitals and joint ap-
pearances with Harold Bauer, eighty reci-
tails in all, carried him between New York

John McCormack's Record

THE male singer who probably cleared
up the most clean cold cash in the sea-

his earnings if he does not increase them
in the current season, is John McC Cormack
A concert-hall box-office expert who
knows the seating capacity of the various
halls in which Mr.. Mccormack has sung
has figured that this favorite Irish tenor
received about $l50,O00 in return for his
concert appearances last season, and as
much more for royalties on phonograph
records.
OF the pianists, Josef Hofmann is now
so rich that he declines to play recitals,
which are most tiring for artists Last
season he appeared only with the New
York Symphony Orchestra in it's tour from
coast to coast, forty concerts in all.
Among the violinists, Fritz Kreisler
broke all records last season. Always
recognized as master violinist, the pub
