whose singing is always the utterance
OF definite and recognizable mood"
And If she can be brilliant with
the best of them" Mr.. Mason continued,
She can make the liquid tones of the
middle voice float with an imponderable
loneliness that carries, by sheer virtue
Of purity, throughout the whole vast
auditorium. Listening to this great
artist. one feds instinctively that here

authentic art art such as few singers

Bodanzky Enthusiastic
Over Festival Mass

-FOUR weeks restudying of the score
OF Janacek's "Missa Glagolskaja."
or Festival Mass" in preparation for
its first American performance by the
Society of the Friends of Music at its
first concert of the new season, has
made Artur Bodanzky, conductor of the
society, increasingly enthusiastic over
this work of the Czech composer.
1t cannot be too strongly empha-
sized" says Mr.. Bodanzky. that this
Is not, except in form, mass for the
church; it is rather a highly national
iStic hymn of exultation and praise of
God, fervid but not liturgical. 1 can
realize that any one who comes to
hear this mass of Janacek'S with the
masses of Mozart or Palestrina or the
Passions" of Bach in mind will be
shocked by the barbaric, peasant-like
strength of this new music Janacek
himself did not intend it for perform
ance in church. Nevertheless its emo
tional sincerity is obvious to any hear
er, and musically it is filled with strik-
ing and new ideas
incidentally it is a work which pre-
SentS tremendous difficulties to chorus
soloists and orchestra. In spite of this
it is so outstanding among the choral
works of recent years that it is re-
ceiving performances throughout Eu-
rope. Frankfurt Main will hear it
October IL, and the first performance
IN England will be given at the Nor
folk and Norwich Festival on Octo-
Der 49,"
The Janacek mass. accompanied by
shorte~ works of other Czech compos-
ers, viii be performed by the Friends
OF Music Sunday afternoon, October

THE San Francisco Opera Co. s
season promises to be an espe-
cially brilliant one this year
Word from the State of eternal
sunshine indicates that the num-
Der of individual triumphs are
running up into the double fig
ures. Most pleasing is it to hear
that Clare Clairbert, whose in
PRODUCTION to Washington this
Winter has been promised, is be-
ing hailed as one of the brightest
of operate stars and one that
should set this musical vale a3ire.
Miss Clairbert'S local debut is
thus becoming one of the really
important events of the season,
and is already causing much
speculation and anticipation. One
almost hopes that the standing
room only sign will be busted
and ready for service when this
The Musical Courier, to add to
the excitement, has published a
wire about JeritZa which seems
to go with the general festive
spirit emanating from the Golden
Gate city. 1t says: "One of the
most sensational and thrilling
performances witnessed here for
the past ten years was that of
'Salome,' given by the San Fran
cisco Opera Co., with Jeritza as
Salome, role wherein she has
not been heard heretofore in this
country, but for which she is
justly famous in European circles.
For one hour and a half the
famous Viennese diva held an
audience of 1000 Spellbound by
her realistic portrayal of one of
the most StupendouS operate
roles on record. Sharing honors
with the prima donna was Sydney
Rayner, young American tenor,
who exhibited unusual vocal and
hiStrionic ability"
"Salome' is one of those operas
that one can imagine might suit
La Jeritza'S talents to perfection.
Those who shrink from her man
nerismS as Carmen and consider
that she outmaneuverS even such
imprisoned performers as Farrar
seem to agree that as Salome she
can give vent to some of the lido
SyncraSieS that have ranked. and
yet get away with them safely.
There is evidently no sphere of
the opera in which Jeritza is not
causing comment - one way or
another. Last season there were
one or two vague rumbles of
prima- donnerish warfare - but
nothing happened. So this year
one may expect more flashing of
the eyes, more sensationally sung
and postured roles, more ward
robe accessories the likes of which
have never been seen short of a
Cleopatra reign.
All of which is brought to mind
because the baroness will be with
US toward the middle of the very
bittereSt Winter weather.

Raquel closed her lips tight.
To keep them from burbIing

What was the use? The
woman would only dislike her.

pride. The destruction would
be without profit. 1t was too
late. Too late for the man to

Greta was right. Greta rifled

ular heartless brutes made me
come in by 10! But I was
wrong, and SO are you. And
the old folks are right.
I admit that midnight exits
may cramp your style a bit
with your gang now. And you
lose out on some fun that looks
pretty priceless at II. But
you'll lose out on much finer
fun if you don't set a time
limit now. and your parents
are trying to save you from
that greater loss.
Three years from now life
will seem infinitely more won
derful than it does today.
You'll look back to these par
ties as baby play.
You'll be in the midst of the
most amazing adventures and
thrills. You'll be loved and ad-
mired and courted. and your
world will be at your pretty
feet-if-
If your smile hasn't lost its
brightness and your spirit its
freshness and your blood its fire,
then at 20, the world will be at
your feet. But it won't be at
your feet if you're faded and
liStleSs and bored and burnt out.
And believe me, Lucy, youth
burns out very easily at II.
Sapping Her Energy
You don't believe that. You
feel that nothing can tire you-
nothing can sap your racing en-
ergy. But you're wrong. You
can easily be tired-for life. You
think you're grown up, but
you're not. You look and feel
like a grown person, but your
body is still an unfinished ma
chine.
AS for those other youngsters,
who seem such live wires now.
Believe me! They'll be mighty
dim bulbs later on, when you're
still hitting it on high.
Instead of grouching at ma
and dad, suppose you cut out
this and hand it to them, with
the gratefullest hug you ever de-
livered. For, believe me, sister,
they're doing you plenty of
favor p and some day you'll
know it.

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman
An Opportunity to Evince
An UNDERSTANDING

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I am engaged to be married
to a young man whose people
live about 400 miles from here.
I have never met any Of his
family, but he expects to take
me to their home after we are
married. Here is what is puz-
zling me: Last Christmas I sent
his mother a Christmas gift
and Easter I sent her a card.
That is all I have had to do
with her. Now my fiance wants
me to write her a letter, but 1
think it is up to her to do that.
Which would be the correct
thing-should I write her a nice,
friendly letter, or should I wait
for her to do that? My fiance
insists that I write to her, as
his mother is very frail and all
ing and likes to receive letters.
READER.
Although, strictly speaking,
your fiance's mother should
write you a letter telling you
of her happiness in the engage
ment and of her enthusiastic
welcoming of you into the fam.
lily, under the circumstances
you should by all means, at
once write to this mother who
longs for letters, and espe-
cially, naturally, from the girl
who is to marry her son.
Do not, in this case. stand
on ceremony. It is ridiculous
to do this, and your fiance
should not have to urge you
to make this human gesture.
Always good manners are kind,
and kindness takes precedence
here to any form.
And not only should you
write her now, but you should
make a point of writing her
often, of sending her flowers
and fruits and books or maya
zines, or both. Let her see
that the girl her son is going
to marry has heart in the
right place! What a superb
chance you have for kindness
and sweet understanding.
