Ona B. Talbot VIII Bring Many Artists in Recital
at the Murut on Sunday Afternoons Next Year

THE New Year Of musical actiyi-
a ties Of the Ona B. Talbot Fine
Arts Enterprises will bring world
famed artists to Indianapolis For
the Sunday afternoon series the
first artist 10 appear is the we'll
beloved Nine. Galli-Curci on Feb.
10; following this concert Feodor
Chaliapin, basso, Feb. 26; q concert
which is attracting much attention
is the co-artist recital Of Ossip
GabrilOwitsch, pianist; Jacques
Thibaud yiolinist, on March 25;
Ignace Jan Paderewski, pianist and
outstanding musical personality OF
the age, April /, and Jascha Hell
fetz, young wizard Of the violin,
April 8.
People generally are interested
and curious to know of the life led
by great singers off the stage.
Madame Galli-Curci, the peerless,
is apparently frail of physique. Her
Wirey strength, however, is phenom-
email; indeed, without it she would
not be both so perfect and SO tire
less q singer. In Hawaii, OH her re-
turn voyage from an immense con-
cert tour embracing Australia and
New Zealand, she went to the
famous Waikiki Beach Half an
hour later, finding the invitation Of
the Pacific Ocean irresistible, she
had secured a bathing suit and
teacher; two days later she swan
alone Every summer since, and in
the winter, too, when on concert
tours through Florida and southern
California, CALI Curci goes in
swimming for two hours at q
stretch.
In golf she is as great enthusiast
whenever chance on her long tours
offers, while in vacation time she is
a constant visitor at the links near
Sui Monte, her home in the Cat
skills. On an average Madame
Galli-Curci walks five niles in each
games across hill and dale. That
night, in perfect voice, she will sing
a private concert in her music
room.
Every July, she travels with her
gifted husband, Homer Samuels, to
Atlantic City and there the schedule
of her day would be formidable for
any athlete. In the morning she has
her two hours swim in the surf; in
the afternoon she COILS; at night
she dances. But when 10 o'clock
arrives, and remembering well that
she is a singer, the tireless diva
goes to bed for dreamless rest that
starts her off refreshed next morn
ing to follow the same program.
