These coffee houses Of Belgrade are
more OF an institution than the tavern

the old folk dances on the grass-these
represent the height Of contentment
to the Serb after days work.
During the war, however, there was
little coffee drunk in Belgrade. and
the Serbs have forgotten how to dance.

BENJAMIN Franklin. our national ex.

Bache. his, great.great-sreat grand

teristic Of his ancestor in . story he
tells:
Tho price Of bread two centuries
ago was a penny a loaf. Thus II hap

three-pence: and with them he walked
up Market Street from the wharf,
holding ono under each arm and eat

two OF them to woman and her
child who had been fellow voyagers

Rene Bache goes on to say Of
Franklin: where his own expendi-
lures were concerned he was always
frugal, saving what he could out Of

II came about that, while . nero

him for loans to carry them over until
payday. He would accept no interest.
but each Saturday. on getting their
money they gave back to him what
they borrowed-only to repeat the
borrowing a day or two later"
Tho secret Of Franklin's success
was systematic and persistent saving,

SINGERS
NEGLECT ITALIAN

Italy, it il traditionalIy known, has
been the cradle Of song. and yet
strange to say, many OF the present
day vocal teachers either neglect the
Italian language or treat it lightly.
The italian, which IL the most beauti-
full OF languages and likewise tie
simplest, should not only be the model
for the singing tone, but the ve"y
foundation on which to produce cor
rect singing. II We go far enough
back. before Italian opera originated,
we find a period OF complicated poly
phonic music without respect for
notes. rests, rhythm or any Of the
many attributes that make for beauty
in music. In rebellion against this
condition, in which the composers had
sunk the human voice to such a level
that it was nearly inarticulate, we
come to the creators Of Italian opera,
who agreed with the great Greek
philosopher, Plato, that there were
three component parts OF song music.
The FIRST in importance was speech,
rhythm next and melody third. Had
the later Italian composers. such as
Rossini and Donizettl, been faithful
to this original premise We would
have had, besides the folk-tunes,
deeper, finer and more singable Ital-

ian songs than the horid tunes which
we associate with many OF the Italian
operas. Verdi, who not only had
melodic but harmonic genius, could
have given Us some wonderful songs
had he not devoted himself mostly TO
operatic composition.
The old Italian school OF singing
was pure Joy OF sound and, although
In many cases the text itself was not
OF the greatest value, the individuA
words were models Of execution, the
notes gems OF purity. Because OF the
limited number Of Italian VoWei
sounds. and also because OF their puf-
ity, IL 10 the all-important factor Tor
vocaliEing, particularly in the early
stages. Then, too, we ind instead OF
difficult Anglo-Saxon consonants
those OF liquid incisiveness. Gradu-
ally the pupil gets accustomed to the
italian vowel, gets In the habit OF II
90 to speak, and then is prepared for
the French language, which has some
eighteen or twenty sounds In contrast
to the small number OF Italian, and
after French we come to the more
complicated, such as German and Eng
lish.

TELLS OF OPERA IN
WASHINGTON'S DAY

In these days when there is much
discussion about the production OF
grand opera in English, it is interest
ing to read in an article in the Marcn
Is Musical America" culled from ..
G. Sonneck's Early Opera in Amer
lea" that the first operas appearing
here were rendered in English. The
four great centers for operatic per-
formances before and shortly after
the revolutionary war were Boston,
Charleston, New York and Philadel-
phia. AS early as 1922 ballad
operas" were produced. These were
mot only English operas in which
popular ballads. airs and folksOngs
were pressed into service, but in

The announcement in the Tribune

pany next season is officially and
strenuously denied by her manager,

Barrientos stands out as a shining
example Of what a fine method ana

voice which is not only Of small d.

any warmth. And yet what that wo-
man does with that voice should be
an Inspiration, certainly, to those who
have, like Galli-Curci, an organ OF
exceptional natural beauty and
charm.
