OSCAR SEAGLE-

pearances in productions there next
season.
Oscar Seaglc. who has barely passed
! his half-century mark of living, is an
idealist This, in itself. is not unusual
in an artist. But Oscar Seagle is
unique in that he consciously commands
for himself and requires Of all his stu
dents that the first essential in prepar-
ing to master the singing art is-"a
happy thought" With the mental at
titude so placed, that very necessary
organ, the diaphragm, is ready to do its
mechanical share in producing artistic
sound via proper breathing. Then all
the rest of the detail involved in really
singing a song comes in time with prac-
tice and intelligent concentration on
diction, Interpretation, etc. The amaZ-
ing part is the difficulty Of getting the
fundamental thing-the mental attitude
most favorable for control of the dia-
phragm. Simple with simplicity that
is natural in childhood. this absolute
coordination is not easy for most stu
dents to achieve. The inclination is to
concentrate upon the voice and sound
rather than the mental thought Once
it is achieved. the victorious student is
liable to go around the colony for a
couple of days, at least, looking as
though he had discovered the springs
of Ponce de Leon or the lamp of
Aladdin. AS matter Of fact. he has
discovered both these magical articles
as far as his career as a singer is con-
cerned.
Mr.. Seagle, himself. is thorough ex-
ponent Of the principles he teaches To
hear him sing songs OF Richard Strauss,
Brahms, Schumann and Horsman in a
benefit concert for the Seagle scholar
ship fund, as he did on several occa-
sions last month, is to listen to one of
the great singers in the world today.
His tone and Interpretation alike are
supremacy beautiful. His audience is
melting wax under the warm rays of his
singing. On his birthday. October 81,
1929, this Southern gentleman from
Chattanooga, Tenn, will give his open
ing recital Of the current season in New
York. For II years student under the
famous tenor, Jean de Reszke, Mr..
Seagle laid a serious, concentrated
foundation upon which he has con-
tinued to build. He has been singing
for AZ years-Since he was little child.
In a casual interview after breakfast

| TIME American tourist seeking Cam
| ada along the beautiful trail
through the Adirondacks via
4 Schroon Lake will see a red and
white sign swinging an invita-
! ton from a mountainside road as he
speeds along the excellent concrete
| highway, north into the village of
Schroon or south, if returning, toward
Lake George.
This sign says, "The De Reszke-
: Seagle Colony" After one has &C
cepted it's invitation and turned in past
it the road beyond winds with alluring
beauty up the mountain. 1t Is bordered
| with slim ivory birches. pungent pines
and clumps of daisies. out Of which cot
tontails dart across the road.
About 10 minutes later, with the as
sistance OF good engine, the motorist
has paused beside the graceful white
frame house that is the residence Of
Oscar Seagle, American baritone ex-
traordinary and minister plenipotenti-
airy to the art of song. Poised on this
mountain at point where pine woods
make a fragrant necklace from which
hang pendant the twin sapphires of
Schroon Lake and the automatically
named Thurman's Pond. Seagle has
built his music colony. For seven sea-
sons now an average of from so TO 30
young people ana teachers, nlled with
ambition to espouse the cause and at
tempt % command the mystery Of the
simple art of song, have come to this
colony from May until November to
work steadily and courageously. Ever
so often singer reaches the place in
training where he or she receives the
maestro's blessing and tries the vocal
wings in some particular adventure onto
the public stages OF the music world.
However, it is not primarily with such
episodes in mind that these young
Americans come to the Seagle Colony
for training. Not few successful in
musical comedy or radio and concert
work come back to continue to build
and grow. The whole colony is par
ticularly rejoiced this year that one of
its number, Eleanor LIE Nance. a young

or dinner, when he is still chiefly oc-
cupied with the business Of smoking
one OF his famous black cigars, Mr..
Seagle always has well-thought-o
comments ready on almost any subject.
He is much interested in the develop
ment of the "talkies" and predicts that
in five or six years they will reach an
admirable state.
THE thing that is wrong now" said
Mr.. Seagle, sis not the instrument. but
the Singing-actor who is imperfect in
his command of speech or song. With
the mechanical instrument in 'talkies,
1t is entirely a problem concerning vi
bration.' To get perfect vibration, the
singer or speaker must have correct
breath control and tone placement"
Mr.. Seagle also touched upon the
fact that many young singers who have
been correctly trained and are willing
to work hard to polish the interpreta-
ton OF song can produce beautiful
records-sometimes more beautiful than
those made by famous singers who

are living now on past glories. That,
according to this maestro. Is the secret
of the drop in sales for star" phono-
graph records.
Another interesting opinion. sound
in its logic and valuable coming from
the source that 1t does. is Mr.. Seagle's
idea concerning the possible success OF
opera in English.

lish will never be widely successful with
the American people," said Mr.. Seagle.
because, fundamentally. their librettos
are silly and the constant repetition OF
sometimes minor phrases In the story
being sung makes them seem even more
absurd. American business men are not
going to sit out front and feel foolish
listening to such things. Now in the
proposed new opera by Deems TAYLOR,
version of Street Scene the right
idea is used to get something as a IL
bretto that has balanced, dramatic
appeal to an American audience"
