The Washington herald., 1920-10-17

Since the war many of the great
mer of Europe have come to Amer
lea to settle down and to continue
their pursuits in their different
chosen arts. Many have preferred
the quiet and beauty of the Capital
City in preference to the excitement
of larger cities. Last spring. VIII
liam Shakespeare, one of Europe's
greatest singing teachers, came for
a short visit with his old pupil, sgd
ney Lloyd wrightson. He was so
impressed with Washington as
residential city that as soon as he
returned to England he began clos
iEg his affairs there with the object
of making this city his future home.
He arrived here last Saturday and
has taken an apartment in S street.
His coming to this city was brought
about through the influence Of Mr.
Wrightson, whose greatest interest
is the development of music in
Washington.
Mr.. Shakespeare's career has been
an interesting one. At IL years OF
age he had gained considerable pro-
ficiency as an organist. and five
years later won the Kings Scholar
ship at the Royal Academy. At 20
he had received the Mendelssohn
Scholarship as a composer and vir-

tuOso. In 1871. at Leipsic. he con-
Quoted the rendition of his Sym
phony in c minor, and played his
Concerto in c with the orchestra.
While at Leipsic he developed a
voice Of such promise that he went
TO Mtlap, Italy, to study with the
great singing master, Francesca
Lamperti, with whom the great
American soprano AIbani and the
celebrated tenor RobUsto Companini
were studying at the same time.
After several years Of study Mr..
Shakespeare returned to England
where he Immediately became in
great demand for important festi-
walls and concerts as tenor soloist.
He continued to conduct the con-
certs of the Royal Academy for sew
eral years and the orchestra Of
The Strolling Players" for five
years. He rapidly grew to be a great
authority on the art Of singing until
he stands today as one Of the great
est living teachers Of singing. His
articles on this subject are eagerly
read by all lovers Of voice develop
ment. and his great work The Art
Of Singing" is one of the most
coveted exercise books and teachers
guides published.
Mr.. Shakespeare has just written
Communion Service" which is
now in the hands OF the publisher
and which will be rendered for the
first time after its publication in
America by the large evening choir
of the Church of the Covenant.

ing but pure Incidence mixed with
juvenile "cussedness." In my own
experience, the great blunder comes
when the mother makes the first
concession to the child.
Children have an uncanny sense
of reading the mothers mind. If
the little one has the least idea that
there is a chance to evade practice,
then it is "all up" The child will
use that chance as a lever until the
practice period is over. The ideal
is, of course, to make the practice
period so pleasant that the child
will want to practice. OF the
brightest children many are often
the most indolent. Gain the child's
enthusiasm, his love interest If you
possibly can, but If you can not,
severe discipline may be necessary.
Te reason with a boy. at some
stages of his. moral and spiritual
upbringing, is about as useful as to
reason with a machine gun in the
hands of an enemy. The only thing
to do is to administer a good spank
ing. One of the reasons why some
musicians have a good technic is
that their mothers have had a bet
ter technic with a slipper. Thor
ough training is one thing and Sc
we're training is another. If the
mothers of America make the prac-
tice hours Of their pupils disagree
able through nagging, they must
not be surprised II the pupils lose
interest.

It has been my good fortune to
travel my beloved adopted land in
Vulnerable times from coast to coast
and 1 have met countless American
children and American mothers.
am pretty much of a mother my
self, IL the size of my family is
considered. With all the hardships
that come with motherhood l still
feel strongly that there is a re-
ward which the large family brings
to the right kind of mother that
nothing else can possibly bring.
The position OF the busy concert
singer is often unfortunate, as there
is very little time to give to the
details of the home. Strange to
say, some of my children showed no
great musical inclination. In such
cases I did not force them to study.
Now. I regard this as a mistake,
as 1t seems to me that many chill
dren will not study unless they
have very strong inducements. If
the inducements can be made de-
lightful, and If the pupil shows the
least possible chance of musical
ability and fails to respond to
favorable conditions, the trouble\is
probably downright laziness and
this demands copious doses of the
old-fashioned household remedy that
does not come in bottles.
I am sure that many American
mothers will agree with me that
what some term lack of ability, or
lack of musical inclination, is moth

CONCERTS ARE AID
TO FARRAR'S FAME

Great as are the rewards Of opera

Encouragement and cooperation
Miss Farrar has won for herself a
reputation in concert as great as
that which she had in opera.
Ihe natural versatility of her tall

home in the suave, fluent melodies
OF the classical masters of the sew
enteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Songs rich in romance appeal
strongly to her imagination, and
being a modern of the moderns she
has deep sympathy for the interest
ing songs OF the modern French
men. Moreover she has found
much assistance in her natural eift

CHICAGO OPERA co.
SECURES STORCHIO

Executive Director Herbert M.
Johnson, of the Chicago Opera As
sociation, has announced the en-
gagement Of Rosina Storchio for the
coming season. Storchio has never
visited America although she has
had many invitations to do so. Mr..
Johnson's good fortune in securing
her at this time is said to be largely
due to the fact that Toscanini is to
come with the La Scala orchestra,
for Nine. Storchio's professional life
has been largely tied up with that
of the great Italian director.
Rosina Storchio is a prime fav-
orite in Italy, Spain. Portugal and
Southern Europe, but is chiefly
known in America as the creator
of the role of Madam Butterfly"
when that popular work was dedi-
Gated to the musical world at La
Scala, Milan, in 1904. She will make
her debut in that opera in Chicago
late in January and will also make
her first New York appearance in
that vehicle.

SUGAR MADE FROM CORN.

New York, Sept. l5th.-After more
than three years Of experiments, Frank
K. Gardner, President Of the General
Food Products Company, yesterday an
nounced that DR.. Arthur W. Smith and
S. P. Evans of Baltimore have invented
and perfected a process by which white
sugar may obtained from corn and man
ufactured for less than A cents a pound.
Seven per cent, of the present corn
crop would supply this country,s sugar
needs, it estimated. The sugar is 81 per
cent, as sweet as cane sugar and should
sell for SC, a pound.
ITO fullyreaiize what this new and
unlimited sugar supply means, SAID
Mr.. Gardner, 1t is necessary to under
stand the present situation. Sugar now
is the product Of sugar cane, beets,
