Mary Garden Aims to Instill
Love of Opera Into America
As Director of Chicago Company, She Says, Her
Sole Ambition Will Be to Elevate Music
to a Higher Plane in U. S.

CHICAGO, Jan. % .(By The Associ-
ated Press).-The first woman to have
complete business and artistic charge
Of one Of the big American grand opera
companies, in short, to be the dictator
Of the enterprise, Mary Garden outlined
to-day what she thought opera should
mean throughout the United States.
Miss Garden, known in Chicago and
in numerous other American cities as
'"Our Mary" was appointed to the joint
role Of star, artistic director and
business manager of the Chicago Opera
Association early this month.
Mary Gardens ambition is to make
opera and herself as we'll loved by the
people of the whole United States as
she is by the people Of Chicago.
Enthusiasm, fervor, hard work, con-
modern opera rather than the old, are
only a few things that Miss Garden
promises to show the people Of America
that she has in her and is capable of
producing.
Insists on Very Best
Music, real music" said Miss Gar
Of popularity, through the marvellous
homes Of almost every family in this
country. 1 hope to take advantage of
this and by hard work, bring opera up
to the place that it deserves in the
hearts of the people. Wouldn't it be
wonderful, if by doing this will have
made them love opera and me as we'll
as the people of Chicago have con-
vinced me that they love me?"
Constant supervision, insistence on
having her every performances as per-
feet as it is possible to get it, through
both the supporting company and the
equipment, is assigned by Miss Gar
den as probably the chief reason that
the board of directors Of the Chicago
Opera Company has seen fit to place
her In the position that was held for
years by Cleofonte Campanini.
The public makes opera possible
and | think that the public deserves
the very best that can be assembled" :"
added Miss Garden. "Some artists
have said that Garden gets every
thing she wants. No wonder she is
success ! have fought, argued, criti-
cized and insisted on my performance
receiving the best treatment possible
because l knew the public wanted it
as we'll as /. I believed l was right
and | fought for my own ideas. As
rule l realized them."
Miss Garden is strongly of the
opinion that the people of to-day want
modern operas, and as she was instru-
mental in introducing the modern
grand opera, she said that naturally
she intends to carry out her ideas
with the Chicago Opera Company
along these lines.
II shall produce half French and
half Italian operas" she said. "But
at least one American opera during
season should be produced, and shall
try for this. do not believe in trans
lations. They have proved failure.

I Mrs. Sheridan to Lecture
British Sculptor and Sir Philip
Gibbs Sail for II. s.

Mrs. Clare Sheridan. English sculp-
tor, and Sir Philip Gibbs, author and
Journalist, sailed from Liverpool yes
terday to lecture in the United States
under the management of Lee Keedick.
Mrs. Sheridan has been in Moscow
making busts of Lenin, Trotsky and
other revolutionary leaders, and was so
much under suspicion of being an Eng
lish spy that she would not have been
permitted to leave Russia, Professor
Lomonosof, Minister of Railways, as
sured her. if she had accepted Trotz-
ky's invitation to visit the front.
From Mayfair to Moscow, her book of
experiences in Russia, has had a large
sale. Mrs. Sheridan is a niece of Lady
Randolph Churchill and first cousin
Of Winston Churchill, and her mother,
Mrs. Moreton Frewen, was once promi--
nent socially in New York.
The lecture of Sir Philip Gibbs, en-
titled What America Means to the
World" is based partly on his recent
interviews with European statesmen.

premiere in Paris in the title role Of
Louise This was really one of tn,
hrst OF the modern operas to be pro

History tells you the result. W,

singing the part. This, too, may have
had some effect on the board Of

Miss Garden apparently realizes the
task she has undertaken, for she says

every one is wishing me success. !
small obstacles that have apparently
confronted others, believe, have been
overcome merely by my appointment.
ut is silly to think that these oper-

TO their speaking several different

and when one knows them and treats
them humanity and not as the dirt
under ones feet, any trouble along the
line complained of will instantly dis
appear. They are loyal to the very
core and this phase of the position
gives me no worry whatever"

That Miss Garden is business

A sweeping cut in the prices of food
went into effect yesterday at the Hotel
Pennsylvania AND the Statler hotels in
Buffalo, Clevela md. St. Louis and De-
troit. The more popular varieties of
food bear witness to the drastic
changes that the management of the
Pennsylvania Hotel had found it ex-
pedient to make.
The biggest cut, however, is in food
that comes in the luxury class. All
kinds of sea food will be cheaper here
after, the reduction ranging from s to
20 cents a portion. The general cut
for all foodstuffs is Is per cent, and
includes a downward shading of price
in 223 items on the bill of fare.
The difference is marked in meat
dishes. Pork and yea. have been re-
duced as much as 25 cents a portion
Vegetable dishes show a reduction Of

As far as could be learned last
night none of the other hotels con-

Artists Happy in
Program of Music
By Cesar Franck
Compositions of Belgian
Master Cratifyingly In
terpreted in Concert for
Aeolian Hall Audience

Mr.. Charlton 1--WE suppose it was he)
had happy conceit when he planned
the concert Of music by Cesar Franck
which took place in Aeolian Hall yes
terday afternoon. The Belgian master
makes winning appeal to all who know
his personal story as we'll as by his
music. 1t is not necessary to follow
his pupils to the verge Of idolatry
to feel that in the mixture of his
nature there we're many elements Of
true greatness and it is a quality Of
his music not always found in that
of great composers, though never
wholly absent from it, that it arouses
in appreciative listeners sympathetic
interest in the man. A lovable
genius indeed must he have been who
could set himself such a large and
formidable task as "The Redemption"
and also register a vow to make one
hundred sittings of the "Ave Maria"
With all its profundity, this amiable
ingenuousness looks out, large-eyed,
from his music, especially from the
which Mr.. Ernest Hutcheson and Mr..
Samuel Gardner opened yesterdays s
concert. There was nothing perfume
tory about the playing of the two ar
fists. Obviously the work appealed to
their tastes as we'll as their affections,
and they put their hearts into it. We
always hear mature and finished per-
formances from Mr.. Hutcheson, but
Mr.. Gardners salad days are not so
far back in the perspective, and it was
peculiarly gratifying to listen to his
ripe playing yesterday.
In the sonata he put the most en-
phatic and luminous line across the
pages of his record that he has yet
drawn. So, at least, it seemed to US.
Miss Helen Stanley sang some songs
with more purely vocal than poetic
effect. Mr.. Hutcheson played Harold
Bauer's arrangement of the Prelude,
Fugue and Variations and Joined Mr.
Gardner and Mr.. Emmerau Stoeber,

masters trio in F-sharp minor, the
first of his numbered works.
