FIANCE OF GRAND OPERA STAR PRISONER OF WAR "Lady of Sunshine Smile," Emmy Destinn, Says She Can't Catch Fish, but Loves to Swap Fishermen's Tales With Someone. i "v y I A (" s YtkP x V I 'illillll . .,. ,: ' ' , " ! r - 4 i, i ? ' I A A BY JOSEPH MACQUEEN. MISS EMMY DESTINX, grand opera star and one of the highest paid song artists in the world, is a laughing sunbeam. She sat and talked to me yesterday at the Benson Hotel, with the warm sunshine- streaming through the win dows, but the sunshine welcome enough was matched fairly by the good-humored smile on Destinn's face. Her eyes are dark and expressive and her fine, dazzling teeth remind me of those of Theodore Roosevelt. But her smile . I wish it were infectious enough to make all people with whom she -comes in contact smile in spite of themselves. Destinn is engaged to marry Dinh Gilly, the big French baritone, and hopes for the end of the war so that she may become Mrs. Gilly. She owns a $250,000 castle near Prague, in her native Bohemia, and another house in New York City, but In spite of her riches, sweetheart smile and beautiful teeth, 'Destinn is not contented. Star lias Only One Worry. She has one worry. Whenever she fishes for fish, she can't catch any. Now. wouldn't that . "I should dearly love to. swap fisher men's stories with you, this afternoon," said the Lady of the Sunshine Smile, "but what of it, when no fish come to my bait? Fishing Is a new, delightful experience to me. You see, I usually pass my Summers in my old home in Bohemia, where I see my dear relatives, my sisters and other friends. I hurry back to New York, at the opening of the opera season, and then it is all work. It is, then, too cold to fish. Now, my first experience as a fisher man came to me recently at Sausalito, near Los Angeles, Cal. Along with my piano accompanist. Homer Samuels, I hired a rowing boat, and we had the time of our lives, fishing. I used salt water fish, crabs, etc, as bait, but, would you believe it? although I used all the wiles of which I am capable, not one fish could I catch. I tried nearly all day." "Did you say anything forcible (ahem!) when you found you could not catch any fish? Men' fishermen have been known to make brimstone remarks because of poor fisherman's luck,", was remarked by the listener. "I get your suggestion," said Miss Destinn, laughing, "When I fish, I get, whatvdo you call it in English? Oh, yes, I know, I get that holy feeling. My task fills me with patience. I have been seven years with the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, New ?orU., and have sung under the direction of many conductors. There have been things said to me . Well, I have learned patience from other explosive people. Oh yes, I nearly forgot, off Sausalito. I got seasick, but even that did not dampen my newly-found enthusiasm for fishing. But, for the present, no more fishing for me. I must attend now to my concert engagements." House Has 24 Rooms. It seems that Miss Destinn's house in Bohemia has 24 rooms, and that it takes one-half day to walk over her big estate. Her castle originally was built in the 12th century, has many modern improvements, electric lights, etc., but no telephones. "Why no telephones?" I aBked in astonishment, "what about calling any of your domestics in different rooms?" "There should be no telephones in an artist's house," said the opera sta firmly, "at least that is the rule I make m my house in Bohemia. Otherwise we should never have that quiet, that peace that are so necessary to the mental restfulness of the artist I have a courtyard, and when I want to talk to anyone, all I have to do is to open my window and give a call. That is much better. You see? Of course you do. I have a fish hatchery there, filled with carp. We find that carp are good eating." Dinh Gilly, Miss Destinn's fiance, who is a French citizen, was visiting Austria when the big war broke out and he Is interned as a prisoner until the war is over. Gilly is a big . man, nearly as big as Titto Ruffo, and the two men are chums. They swear by each other. When Ruffo made his big hit at the Metropolitan, in "Hamlet" about three years ago, Gilly. was the first and about the only one of the big artists to congratulate Ruffo and Ruffo hasn't forgotten the kindness. "I think that Gilly is a greater artist than Ruffo," said Miss Destinn, a new, tender light creeping into her dark eyes. "When this war is over ." Just then, the Lady of the Sunbeam smile beamed more than ever. She sings tonight in concert at the Heilig, Benton Extension Held Up. Nev proceedings will have to be institute, for the extension of Benton street from McMillen's Addition to Adams and Hassalo streets. At request of a dele gation the Council ordered discontinu ance of the proceedings for the exten sion, although well advanced. Some of the deeds of property required were placed in escrow. Another delegation of property owners appeared and asked the Council to go ahead with the ex tension as planned. Several said that they had signed the remonstrance through misunderstanding. Learning their mistake they said they were will ing that the extension be made. They were informed that a new petition for the extension will be required to start new proceedings. This petition will probably be circulated. Red Men to Hear Address. Judge Gatens and Professor E. H. Whitney will be the speakers at a meeting of Lelu Tribe of Red Men Tuesday evening in its wigwam 381H East Morrison street. This meeting includes women and was postponed during the early part of the month on account of the storms.
