HOW I BECAME A PRIMA DONNA
By ROSA PONSELLE Leading Soprano, Metropolitan Opera House New York City

I discovered that afternoon, when We appeared in our first performance. I used the lullaby for an encore, playing my own accompaniment at the piano. When the moment came for the soft note, the almost double pianissimo, I used a mere whisper of a tone. Fortunately it wasn't a high note, comparatively speaking, so that there was no strain in that direction. I was in rather good voice, and that particular note was what we singers call grateful" let my voice die away so that it was barely audible, and held it for the proper duration.
 watched my auditors-those nearest me-to try to see what effect it was having. Apparently it was as compelling as the loud, high note which I had been previously using with such success. I noticed one little old lady, in the fourth row. She was with a younger woman, her daughter I gathered. I saw this dear little old lady put her handkerchief to her eyes. Then, as my gaze trav- eled in a sweep of the house to others nearby, I noticed a round faced man snfff. He was one of the very last you would suspect a lullaby could ;have touched.
 I allowed the tone to vanish com pletely, and sat at the piano for a moment afterward without moving. The audience Suddenly came out Of its quietude.s And how the ap- plause rang through thee house. I bowed and bowed, and even left the stage. But I had to come back and repeat the lullaby, before they would permit me to go.
 That'was a lesson to remember.
 Thereafter alternated the pian- issimo tone with the loud one, which I held so long. I found it an excel lent plan. For the people like va- riety-contrasts
 It is the same way, in different measure, in grand opera. The basic principle holds. That is why | was fortunate, when the time came to make my debut at the New York Metropolitan Opera House, with En- rico Caruso. in having had ny ex- perience in vaudeville.

CHAPTER IX-I Discover the Effect
 of Pianissimo
 The simplest things are often the most difficult to discover. I know I have found it so. We puzzle over something, unconsciously feeling it to be complex, when suddenly we dis cover the very thing we seek: and it's frequently so absolutely simple that one gasps and eXclaims: Why didn't I think of that before?"
 Exactly. Why? None of us knows, apparently.
 After the experience I related about my loud high note, in the pre- ceding chapter, Il fussed in an effort to find something which would do as we'll without putting the same strain on my voice and strength.
 It was rainy morning, in Harris burg, Pennsylvania, that the prob lem solved itself, almost out of a clear sky-though,' as I have said, 1t was raining at the time.
 I had gone to a music store to look over some music with the hope of finding some new songs that could, be introduced, into the ''act" Carmella and were offering to our vaudeville. patrons. We were still in the "small time" circuit, and go- ing back over some of the old ground. I was anxious to give my patrons song, tat least one song, they had not heard before. So I read over quantities of things be- fore I found just what looked the very thing.
 It was sort of lullaby; a charm ing melody. At the end there was a pianissimo note, the softest imag- inable if one expected to secure the effect the composer intended. I real ized in a flash that here was what I had been searching for. That pianissimo might do-there was the barest possibility, if 1t were sung in the right way-to use part of the time in place of the fertissimo tone l had made such an effect in rous- ing my audiences. I bought the song and hurried to my hotel to tell my sister about it
