Los Angeles in Marion Fairfax's "The

something that resembles an organ

After much tinkering, the relic was

about fifty feet-which was all that
was required for the film
Miss Fairfax shot the final scene for
her initial production last week. The

New York now has real music. It
has what many regard as the best
opera in the world; three symphony
orchestras that rank highs motion
picture theaters that have orchestras
which surpass most Of the symphony
organs of not SO many years ago, and
concert artists of the first rank. One
thing is still missing, and until that
has been achieved New York will con-
tinue to fall far short of the mark it
should set for itself. New York needs
opera in English. Without it we may
be the most musically fed population
IN the world in the amount of money
per capita expended on that form of
art or entertainment; we may boast of
the greatest stars, home grown or i'm
ported; we may have the most bril-
liant settings for our presentations
and the largest box Office receipts; but
until we have opera in English the
spirit of the thing will never pene-
trate the masses; it will never become
part of the national life as it has be-
come in Italy and Germany; it will
never be the national opera-in Amer
lea, the peoples opera.
Some one asked me once, "Why can't
we have opera in English?" The ques-
tion was not happily phrased 1t should
have been "Why don't we have opera
in English % Because there is no rea-
son on earth why we shouldn't have it.
am inclined to believe that the time
is not far off when we shall have it.

Train Artists to
Sing in English

/ might discuss at length the million
vious ventures into the field of opera
in English. I had some personal ex-
perience in that line with the Century
Opera company. 1t seems to me, how
ures can best be CLEANED by differences
from few suggestions on how the ven-
ture can be made successful.
The first and most important step
to be taken toward success of the ideal
is to train artists to sing in English.
They do not have to be Americans or
English artists. Mary Garden sang in
the opera in Paris and delighted the
French with her diction. So did Geral-
dine Farrar the Germans with her Ger
man. But both had studied not only
the language in which they sang so
successfully, but enunciaton. Years
of study and years of practice made
them proficient
First, then, it is necessary to make
singers study English diction, or any
dlctlon. Do you doubt that American
singers cannot sing English? Last
year the Metropolitan tried opera in
our tongue on few occasions. After
one Of the performances the news
paper critics called attention to the
fact that they could not understand
much of anything that was sung, in
Snlte of the fact that q La ro-a NUM- hor 9. &

Advocated by DR.. Riesenfeld

the artists were Americans. Two art
lists they praised for the clearness of
enunciation. Both were foreigners.
Voices, Not Names,
The Desiderata
The next step in the struggle toward
our goal is permanent opera company
of voices. not names. 1t will have to
be company that is willing to work
together fifty-two weeks year, so that
the triple purpose of training the
singers, developing an ensemble that is
worth while and definitely placing the
organization before the public may be
accomplished in as short time as pos
sible. The company must have it's own
theater and it's own training school.
There must be chorus carefully
trained in English diction. There must
be permanent orchestra, not picked
up collection of players. And there
must be rehearsals, not merely one re-
hearsal for performance, but rehear-
sails to perfect an orchestra and teach
it the music. For if opera in English
is to be success it should try to make
itself self-supporting 1t is too bad
that art should depend on the charity
of the few. Some day, when it is self
supporting, it will take it's rightful
place as a national institution.
Lyric Riches of
English Language
There are, of course, musicians who
will tell you that the English language
is not suited to song, especially oper-
attic music. More than $50 years ago
the same argument was offered by Ger
mans against opera in German. Mozart,
born in Salzburg, German-speaking
city, brought up in German Vienna,
composed his first operas with Italian
words and created revolution among
musicians when he finally used the
German opera book with 1.-THE Magic
Flute" How any American who has
read Lovelace, or Sterling, or Shakes
peare's sonnets, or some of the lighter
things in Tennyson, or Shelley or Mil
ton can make remark like that is be-
yQnd my understanding.
The truth Of the matter is we have
pursued foreign gcds and neglected
our own. We have taken the ready
made and accepted it. To the initiated
1T has brought all its beauty and joy.
To the larger part of the American
population it has brought only beauti-
full music--only half of opera, though
they paid for the whole. Wagner with
out the words is only half. French
opera, without appreciation of the dra-
matte action, is not opera at all.
But the time is coming when Ameri-
cans will demand full value for the
money they so generously contribute to
the operate world, and then we shall
have opera in English. The next step
and the greatest step-wiH come
after that. Popular appreciation of
the real beauties of that form of music
and drama will send the young Ameri-
can composers and dramatists into the
field, and we shall have American
created opera
