Madame Margaret Matzenauer,
contralto, of the Metropolitan
opera company, who will appear
in Salem on Friday, is said to be
unlike many other artists who
profess to be Indifferent alike to
criticism OF praise. Nine. Matte
nauer is keenly desirous Of know
ing in what. way her interpreta-
tions have affected her audiences.
Not being at all cynical, but view
ing all humankind with broad toll
erance and sympathy, she Is
glad to learn when she has given
pleasure, and she is also interest
ed in learning In what manner
her interpretations do not har-
monte with the feelings Of her
auditors.
Madame Matzenauer is not the
least bit superstitious, and her
philosophy is that we receive just
about what we expect in life,
making our own good or bad
luck. She is quoted as saying:
"As for me, believe we make
our good luck or our own bad
luck, and that we receive about
what we expect in life. imagine
