he still retained the automobile. Con-
sequently Eaton voted unanimously to

And thus the Unconceited Dramatists'

that the other four members had the no.
ton that the presence OF the dramatic
critic would be of considerable assist
ance In keeping them unconceited.
The club prospered for time and II
was even proposed that club house
should be obtained. but this plan was

Mr.. Savage Explains.
Why did Mr. Savage import any Of his
'Merry Widow" singers? His stage
director. John Mckee. answers this
question by presenting an array OF
figures. Since April 90 last Mckee has
had audi.'ons for 1873 American
singers He heard LII sopranos. 1903
contraltoR 256 tenors. 159 barytones
and 81 basses. "A large percentage OF
these voices,' relates Mckee, were un-
usually fine. However. they were
possessed by boys and girls who were
without stage experience and who were
not willing to take their experience in
anything less than principal parts
for which they were not qualified"
In these modern times the aspirant
for light opera or musical comedy must
be able to "act. look, sing and dance
as Mr.. Mckee puts 1t. Or his l.723
applicants who could sing about 500
had the necessary appearance. but less
than 500 had acting experience and
only about 100 could dance.
The shortage Of dancers. says Nc
Kee. is due to the advice Of vocal teach
ers who tell their pupils that stage
dancing ruins the voice. "It is claimed
that the breath control Is affected by
dancing" he explains. "Of course.
