about his chest. He returned quickly

'Oh. Of course, I'm to blame for the

throat was thick as he spoke. his
daughter was very dear to him, and
that she would leave home had never
entered his head. Why should she I?
Wasn't he good father? Didn't he
give her good home, with plenty to
eat and wear, and a little money to
spend from time to time, and no cues

do than that?s y Already his heart was
crying out for his daughter--the cry
OF broken strings which never knew
their strength until they broke. And,
lest gentleness should be mistaken for
weakness, he clothed his real feelings
In sharp words to his wife.
"Of course, you must take her part.

more than year ago. but owing to
several obstacles the work could not

as this would be the shortest method
OF making the American public more
familiar with the, melodious and some

The composer did not think much OF the
idea. although he himself seemed rather
willing TO make a trip to America and
produce one OF several OF his works in
his own way. He does not think that
performances In the German language
would appeal to the majority OF the
Americans and he also believes that
the decorations used here would not be
good enough for what New York
audience Is accustomed to. The cost OF
travelling was also considered.
Meanwhile Lehar's operettas continue
to be main features among the lighter
stage entertainments In Europe. Not q

HERALD.
VIENNA, Oct. Z.
r RAM LEHAR, king of the Aus
r. trian operetta, is both the bust
est and the most charming of
Austrias contemporary composers.
When the correspondent of THE NEW
YORK HERALD called at his lavishly
furnished and decorated apartment at
16 Theobaldgasse on the verge of the
city OF Vienna he was at once adj
mitted to the sanctuary and received
with a youthful and cordial hand
shake. Mr.. Lehar, who is now SO, but
could pass for anything between 80
and 40 if there were not the gray hair
and close cut white mustache. has
not forgotten the reception his Merry
Widow" got in the United States. He
likes to chat over his experiences with
America and his numerous American
friends and admirers. He regards
Henry w. Savage not only as one of
the cleverest stage producers on the
other side of the ocean but also as
person dear to his heart.
Talking with Lehar over his art and
opinions in the unconventional way
The New York herald., 1922-10-22

can be prolonged II the necessity should
arise. The future of his works In Amer
lea occupies Lehars thoughts a good
deal. After his triumphal debut with
the Merry Widow" long before the war

American public. EVA" 1.-THE Count of
Luxemburg." "Fuerstenkind" Gle Roi de
Montagnes) and alone at Last" did
not get the reception the author had
expected.
Orchestral Leaders Blamed.
He thinks that this was due to the
alterations made by orchestra leaders
who thought 1t Indispensable to Ameri-
canize the plays. because they feared
the unchanged Austrian style would
not appeal to the American public. Mr.
Lehar Is sure that the changes were
made with the best of intention, but he
believes they rather spoiled the effect.
In the case of the Merry Widow"
which came out In England before It
went 10 America, Mr.. Lehar got the
opportunity of having the necessary
changes made under his personal direc-
tion SO that 'blunders could be pre-
vented. This was not SO with his later
works. He is sure that he could count
upon full success IL he could make
it possible to go to America and super
wise the adaptations personally.

to appear is Nine. Charles Cahier, who
will be one of tho soloists in the two

orchestra The concert will be conducted
by Willerh Mengelberg. whom New York
will claim for the second half Of the
season.
The huge price Of 5000 marks, which
translated means $3.50 or so, will be the
price charged for performances In which
the greatest OF German barytones,
Michel Bohnen. will appear. Opera
prices have undergone such juggling in
an attempt to reach the pocketbook OF
the foreigner that one must go armed
with all ones papers. passports. birth
and marriage certificates. In the case
of Bohnens appearance the natives will
pay about one-third of the five thousand
and foreigners who have lived In the
country one year and who can show
their tax receipts. Identification cards
and other credentials at the box office
may receive the same consideration.

His musical style differs much from
the. ordinary modern kind OF musical
comedy. which has the tendency OF be-
coming more or less a spoken play
with musical insertions. The Lehar
operetta has more resemblance TO the
opera and accentuates melody and re-
fined Instrumentation. It is full of
musical invention and subtleties and
demands both good acting and excel
lent singing. Yet. he says. his style
found the approval of the Americans
who heard his works in Vienna In their
original form.
So great is his popularity among
American visitors to Austria that. when
he was once recognized In a restaurant
by one, the Americans present besNged
him with requests for autographs, for
which they deposited six million crowns
on behalf of the poor at time when
the crown had ten times the value of
to-day Mr.. Lehar Is inclined to think
that the American public on the other
side would take a similar attitude. II
II got the chance of hearing his operettas
just as they are with perhaps q few
small alterations.
Likely to BE Heard Here Soon.
OF course there Is always the difficulty
of finding the singers who combine the
vocal qualifications with the special
talents demanded for the operetta. He
hopes that Mr.. Savage will at last be
able to find singers who will make the
Blue Mazur," success similar to that
of the Merry Widow"
The fact that Mr.. Savage has already

Mr.. Lehar likes to show his visitor
some OF the innumerable souvenirs flline

careers. Two he cherishes more tina,

contains In a little capsule under glass

to remind him that he should never for

Lehar is not a native Of Vienna, az
most people think. He was born in the
little Hungarian town of Komorn, bu'
Vienna claims him as one Of her famous
sons now, since he has passed tht
greater part Of his life here and re-

But this is not the only kind of dis

prevent occasional visitors from turning
up when least expected.
