The quaintest touch Of Christmas
that musical Washington has had

and eat blackbirds, as they went
along, having no other food" The
great basso had, himself, related
this epoch Of his life to this well

At that time" Mr.. Abel says,
"Chaliapin applied to an opera direc-

his company. The impresariog tried
his voice and replied that it was not
worth considering. 1t had no value."
Today ChaIiapin is the most
sought after opera singer in, the
world.
Chaliapin and SamOusSOud.
An odd incident connects this
story with the appearance in Wash.
ington of Feodor Chaliapin with the
Washington Opera Company, in
Gounod's Faust
1t so happened that the great
basso was at last admitted to an
opera company, in his native land,
more as an errand boy than az
singer. Later, however, he obtained
the coveted post of chorister with
the company.
Soon after this the father of
Jacques Samoussoud, conductor for
the Washington Opera Company,
came to this opera house. as con-
ductor. 1t was under his regime
that Chaliapin first began to adj
vance in his career, that has led TO
the top rung in the ladder.
Also during this time the young
boy, Jacques. became an ardent
admirer Of the genial basso. They
were firm friends. And now, today,
