The audiences in New Zealand and
Austria who attend concerts do not
hesitate to plainly show their disap-
proval of an artist of his or her work,
certain tones, according to Miss 10
Desca Loveland who with her father,
DIR. F. L. Loveland, has just returned
from tour, of the two islands.
Counting them OUT is an old Gus
tom in Australia, says Miss Loveland
and when an artist finished a number
on the program if it does not meet
with the audiences approval some one
viii shout One" somewhere else in
the room another voice will take up
the cry with Two" another person
will shout Three and so on up to
ten. and then woe be unto the per-
former if either he or she is not off
the stage, when the final Ten" is |
called. Whether. the proYerbial hook |
is used, brickbats, cabbages or what |
not, Miss Loveland does not know as |
she was not counted OUT during her
stay there. Miss Loveland and her
father were on the islands from No /
vember until the last of March and |
during that time she sang ninety-one |
programs
If an Australian audience likes one /
they show their approval just as |
plainly as they do their disapproval- |
THE audiences there" says Miss Love
land, usually carry an umbrella or a |
cane and they clap. pound on the |
floor with their umbrellas and canes
and use their feet, until a most over
whelming din is heard This clap
ping and pounding they keep up until
the spirit moves them to stop. In
America performers temperance
on the stage to give an encore, bushes
the clapping, but not so in this south
ern countery, when the artist comes
back again on the stage they continue
their applauding until they have fin-
ished whether it be five or ten minutes
and then they settle back into their
seats ready for the next number.
Australia has the most wonderful
of atmosphere for singers. due to the
gum tree" says Miss Love-
land. In fact Australia has produced
more singers in proportion to her pop
ulation which is six million than any
other country on the globe. Australia
is larger than the entire United States
and yet does not have the population
of New York city. IF a singer goes
to Australia with any sort of throat
trouble she does not retain it long.
