Few. IL any. concert managers in
this country have had a more
thorough schooling in the work than
has T. Arthur Smith, whose name
Is familiar to every concert and
theatergoer in this city. Mr.. Smith
was born in Baltimore, but. accord
ing to his statement. he was raised
all over the United States" Prcvi-
Gus to coming to Washington he
occupied many important positions
in the theatrical world.
1t was during the engagement of
the famous Jeannie Winston Opera
Company that Mr.. Smith made his
first appearance in a local box Of
flee when he handled tickets at AL
baugh's Grand Opera House. He re-
rnained as treasurer of this theater
for four years and then went over
to the National Theater as treas
urer and business manager. After
six years at this place Of amuse
ment Mr.. Smith entered the concert
field as manager in 1901. He
brought the Kneisel Quartet and
the Mascagni Opera Company to
this city for their first appearance

operate history in New York City
records another epochaI date to-
morrow when the famous Man
haitian Opera House goes back to
its original policy of grand opera
with the San Carlo Grand Opera
Company as the medium of presen-
tation on the historic stage where
Oscar Hammerstein presented his
memorable productions Of lyric
drama for four years. The latest
performance OF grand opera given
by Mr.. Hammerstein at the Man
haitian was on March IS, 1910.
Alice Gentle, the operatic con-
tralto, will be heard in the title
role Of Carmen" Rising to the
defense of that much -mistudged
lady, Miss Gentle, according to
Musical Courier" says:
Il believe the real trouble with
Carmen was that she had no mother
to guide her. 1 cannot think that
this young lady was altogether bad.
1t is quite true that she never went
to a Sunday school or sang in a
church choir, but I think she had
been treated rather badly on the
stage. 1 really hope she was not
as bad as some of the acting and
singing l have seen and heard.
They have made her a very, very
bad girl. Carmen was literally the
victim of birth and environment.
She had not a high standard set
for her conduct, and it is quite
likely that she could have been
cured had a committee of psyche
analysts and people like that sat
upon her and investigated things
bit. She was vain and selfish, bu,
that was largely due to the fact
that she was merely healthy
young animal allowed to run a lit
tile wild, without the customary
family prayers at night. You see
her environment was wrong. Had
she lived in New England she might
have grown up into a nice, respect
able girl and become a nursemaid
for some oppressively rich Quaker
family. Had she lived in New York.
with a mother to guide her. she
might have attained the prospect of
securing employment as a waitress
in one of those marble-topped food
morgues on Broadway. Then there
would have been no Carmen and no
opera. I acknowledge that she lived
for pleasure largely, and that she
was a little sensual. devoid of finer
moments. OF sympathy and the
quality OF gentlewomanliness. But
you can't have everything. YOU
know. She was not coarse or bad,
for the sake of being bad. She
was wilful, and above all she was
a Gypsy. and this last fact accounts
for much in Carmen"
