it up with an operatic aria, then a
Yiddish lullaby, then Russian folk
song, and what not? Between selec-
tions the singer would turn round to
each of the members of his family, or
to the guests present, and ask their
opinion of what he had just sung, and
inquire what they would like him to
sing next.
After the concert was over, l saw
my chance to get into a talk with my
host.
SIS it true, Mr.. Rosenblatt," asked,
"that you declined another offer to
sing Grand Opera?"
".Yes," was the answer.
MAY l know why?" l further in
quired.
"For the same old reason" he
smiled.
Before you tell me the reason, may
/ know more details about the latest
offer?"
at was a reptition of the offer re-
ceived four years ago to sing the part
of Eleazar in Halevy's La Juive.'
This time was approached by an
other company which offered me three
times the amount the Chicago Opera
Company proposed to pay, that is 3d.
900, instead of $1,000 performance,
and again with the proviso that l was
not to sing on Fridays, Saturdays or
other Jewish holidays, was not to
shave, or appear in any makeup what
soever. In spite of all this, and in
spite of the fact that La Juive' is the
most Jewish piece in the entire oper-
attic repertoire, in spite of the fact
that | love the part of Eleazar, l de-
clined the offer because l believe it to
be transgression of Jewish tradition
for a cantor who is Sholidch Tsibur,
a representative of his community, be-
fore the Almighty, to go on the stage,
no matter what the conditions and in
ducements may be-"
"Does this mean to say that the pub
lie will never have chance to hear
you in the role of Eleazar, particu-
larly now, when, with the death of
Caruso, you remain the only logical
singer for this part?"
81 may appear as Eleazar," Rosen-
blatt reassured me, "but not on the
operate stage 1t is being contem-
plated to give La Juive' in concert
form, and then, of course, all obsta-
cles to my appearance shall have been
removed"
This much-mooted question "off my
chest" as the saying goes, l asked

Cantor Josef Rosenblatt was telling
me about his childhood years one Sun
day evening a few weeks ago, at his
summer residence in Long Branch,
N. j.
The interior, the very atmosphere of
his summer home, tells one at glance
that the house is inhabited by jew
of staunch principles and traditions,
by one to whom Judaism is the source
of all that is good, true and beautiful.
The Rosenblatts keep open house, and
it is never too late for friend to drop
in for a>cup of tea or a friendly chat.
looked at the handsome, black
bearded man, simple, unassuming,
friendly and full of the joy of exist
ence, and my Imagination painted in
most vivid colors the life of this great
artist, beloved not alone of Jew, but of
Gentle as we'll.
Although Mr.. Rosenblatt had just
returned from a six-hour trip from
Fallsburg, where he sang the night
before, there was not trace of IA
tigue about him. 1t did not take us
long to become acquainted. When l
say acquainted, l do not mean the Of
fetal introduction and all other con-
ventionalities. / mean to say that in
but few minutes, l felt as though l
had known the famous cantor for
years. 1t was only few minutes
after we were introduced, and already
Rosenblatt stood at the piano, and, ap-
parently feeling inspired, gave US an
impromptu recital.
had heard Rosenblatt sing on many
an occasion before, but this recital
was quite unusual, being that it took
place at his home, where one could not
only listen to the singers silver-golden
voice, but could, at the same time,
study the man from whose throat the
wondrous melody flowed. And what
an interesting study it was.
"Why sing now" I asked him.

"You must be quite tired after your
long trip and your concert last night?"
''And tonight l am to sing again"
he smilingly interrupted me. "There
is an affair at Scarborough Hall for
the Red Bank Synagogue Building
Fund" and he went on with his sing
ing.
Rosenblatt sings without effort. He
has perfect control of his wonderful
voice, and modulates it at will. His
falsetto, his colorature, are perfect
and natural, his thrill strikingly un-
usual for male voice.
And then his versatility! His rich
and endless repertoire! He began
with a Hebrew melody, then followed
The Denver Jewish news., 1922-09-20

Rosenblatt to tell me something of his
life, and this is what learned:
He was born in Bielaya Tsierkov,
Russia, forty years ago, and as a boy
of eight, was taken to Austria where
his parents settled in the city of Neu-
markt. Already at the age of four he
displayed remarkable musical ear
and an unusual voice, and would re-
peat the synagogue melodies he heard
from his father, who was cantor. 1t
did not take long, and Yosele, a name
by which his friends and admirers af-
|fectionately call him to this day, be-
came known all over Galicia and other
parts of Austria as the child prodigy
singer, and not week passed but he
would be invited to one city or another
to officiate in the synagogue.
Wheh he was about eighteen, dur
ing one of his visits to Brigel, Hun
gary, he met his future wife, and the
third time he came there, the two
young people, whose combined ages
hardly exceeding thirty-five, were be-
trothed, and shortly afterwards,
united in wedlock. Mrs. Rosenblatt,
highly appreciating her husbands art,
has been not only loving mate, but
also an able adviser. They have eight
children and have good reasons to be
proud of every one of them.
Soon after his marriage, Rosenblatt
was engaged as cantor at Munkazc.
Let hA 60
burg and finally accepted the invita-
tion extended by the Orthodox Jewish
Congregation of Hamburg, Germany,
to be their cantor.
1t was in Hamburg that his fame
! began to spread not only throughout
Europe, but reached across the Allan
tic as well, with the result that ten
years ago he was asked by the Hun
garian Congregation ODab Zedek to
come to New York. He originally in
tended to stay two or three weeks only,
but as his Congregation would not let
him leave at all, he decided to free
himself from their loving but too in
sistent care and finally came to Amer
lea, where he has been engaged for
the last ten years as cantor of the
congregation which had sent for him,
to the joy and qualification of his
numerous admirers.
1t grew late in the evening and we
all started out for the hall where
Rosenblatt was scheduled to sing that
night, for the third time in twenty
four hours. The hall gives on the
Boardwalk, and through the open win
dows the eternal song of the ocean
was audible. But as soon as the ap-
plause which greeted Rosenblatt's ap-
pearance died out, and his song was
heard, the ocean itself seemed to have
ceased to sing to listen to the divine
notes of the man, whom God had en-
dowed with voice that brings joy and
rapture to all whose who hear it.
