TANNHAUSER AND FAUST Two Views of Saleza Calve Has Aarrow EscapeGossip About Slug-era. Mr. Van Dyck's "Tannhauser" remains one of his most convincing and admirable personations, says a New Tork critic. Dramatically, it -would be difficult to imagine a more carefully and yet broadly planned working out of the character. Mr. Van Dyck, while portraying faithfully the moral weakness of the minstrel knight, yet retains the sympathy and in terest of the audience, through his Ver.usburg experiences, in the scenes with Elizabeth, at the contest of song and final ly, more than ever, in his account of the vain pilgrimage to Rome. This "Tann hauser" of his must be accounted one of the great figures of the modern operatic stage. Mme. Calve appeared for the first time the other night at a popular-price- per formance in the Metropolitan, says the New York Press, and the audience was worthy the incident. The opera-house not oh'y was crowded, it was jammed, packed from doors to dome. The galleries and balconies were dense masses of people, and there "was a throng six deep in the Icbbles. The prima spared no pains be cause her audience was not composed of the usually fashionable class, hut acted and sang as wonderfully as if her repu tation was to be newly made. "Cavalleria Husticana" was the opera. The enthusi asm of the popular-pricers in these cir cumstances may be easily imagined, and before Turiddu was killed Mme. Calve had found and won the heart of another public It was like to "be her last appear ance m opera, however. In the opening chorus Mme. Calve stood under the shel ter of ner lover's house, anxiously await ing his arrival. Suddenly the front of the cottage swayed out from its walls, tc.tered, trembled and was about to fall on the head of the prima donna, when tv, o of the choristers saw her peril, rushed forward and held up the house front until Mme. Calve escaped. The prima donna shuddered, fled and, pulling out her cruci fix, kissed It reverently. But for those admirable choristers there might be an Injured Calve today. The var.ous ways in which the Metro politan opera company is dished up for New Tork breakfasts is sometimes highly amusing. As an instance of this may be quoted the recent performance of "Faust," w th Saleza m place of Alvarez In the title role. The New Tork Mail and Ex press comments upon this generously and sympathetically as follows: "A vast audience filled almost every comer of the auditorium and there was great enthusiasm. Only in the substitu tion of Mr. Saleza for Mr. Alvarez did the cast differ from that of previous pres entations of Gounod's masterpiece. The Trench tenor had not fully recovered from his Illness, and in the garden scene his voice broke several times, to his evi dent distress. However, he carried his work through, and the audience showed Its appreciation of his pluok by giving h m a splendid ovation at the end of the act. Mr. Saleza's Faust is too familiar here to need comment, and last night, save for the incident just noted, It was as admirable as ever." But Minkowsky, In the New Tork Jour nal, takes a very different view of it: ' In the first act of -Faust' last night Saleza, singing with Plancon, the Mephls torhcles, was fairly acceptable. While Faust was still an old man, from whom it v.ould bo absurd to expect a youthfu: vo'ee, the tenor's striking defects were not noticed. Alas, after the rejuvenation It tros different. Saleza, in appearance, be came as youthful as could he desired of the Satan-Inspired lover of Marguerite, but his voice was still old. Wlure Saleza most needed the refine mrrt of the singer's art he was most lacking. Doubtless many imagined that the tenor was suffering from a severe cold. It was worss than that. The open rotes and the abrupt attack which he us d in the dramatic passages with Plan con in the first act he used also In lyrl cl r usages with Marguerite. Of course, Salrza knew that such a method of f wr these passages was most inartistic Of course, he knew that the manner of his f irgirg in the first act was the worst pos sible preparation for his exacting work later on. Of course, he also knew that he uas not singing In Europe ' I d-slike to accuse Saleza of deliberate drtgard of his obligations to America a-1 the big metropolitan audience of last rls:ht.-lt is certain that he d'd not have a -""I. though that would not have ex-"j5-d him, for he is not a tenor "who con sents to flng except when in condition. He must know that even here in America ihcr are many opera patrons able to de trr arj wanton misuse of a singer's art trr ugh desire to save himself, and I shall not accuse Seleza of lack pf intelli-rc-oe. One must therefore conclude that his art. or his lack of it is all to blame. If he suffered last night, the audience ruff r red more. In the Aria, 'Salve Dlnnora.' he showed that he was conscious of his shortcomings where he was expected to do his best wrk. I do not refer to the high C of which he defrauded us; we did not even care for the A flat wh'ch he gave us in exchar-se. His final E flat, which he tned to sing piano, was so had that Man c!ne!l. charitably covered it with his or chestra. "All this was very painful, but there was worse to come. In his duet with Mar guer to, he was so uncertain where to find th 'ones he required, and the audience felt so sorrj, that it called him out after vard for no other apparent purpose than tt gie him confidence for the remainder of the performance. 'I nture to predict that Saleza will not Tgain essay the role of Faust ths season It is not suited to his present ac quirements. The effort necessary to ac commodate his vo ce to the widely vary ing demands of the part is hazardous for him." Mme. Sembrich took the conducting into her own hands at last Sunday night's Metropolitan concert. She sang an aria from "The Star of the North." which re quires an obligato for two flutes. Mr. Tzur got between the range of Mme. Sem-, bneh's eyes and one of the accompanying' fijust The florid work to ba done was difficult and tricky. The slightest varia tion in the "work of either one of the flutes would have meant disaster. Equal to the occasion, Mme. Sembrich pushed Mr, Taur as.de, so that the flutists could It' is well known to singers that per fumes influence the voice.' says the New Tork Sun. The violet is regarded by art ists as the flower which especially causes hoarseness. The rose, on the contrary, is regarded as Inoffensive. M. Joal docs not believe that the emanations of the violet prevent free vibration of the vocal cords, and thinks If this flower has any injurious effect upon the voice the rose and other flowers must have the same action. There is, in iact, nothing fixed or- regular In the influence exerted by the perfume of flow ers. It is a matter of individual suscepti bility. Some are affected by the lilac, others by the mimosa. Others are again in no manner affected by flowers, musk, amber, civet, or the various toilet prepara tlons. hut exDerlence obstruction of the nose, hoarseness and oppression from the odors of oils grasses, burnt .horn and the emanations from tanneries and breweries. "It is very difficult," says M. Joal, "to MISS XAXCE O'XEIL, AS MAGDA, furnish an explanation of these peculiari ties, and we must content ourselves by regarding them as examples of olfactlve idiosyncrasy. It cannot be denied, how ever, that odors may occasion various ac cidents and vocal troubles in persons of nervous temperaments ana excessive sensi bility. Mrs. Boccaslni, formerly Miss Mabel Kratz, of Portland, says the Chicago Tri bune, has been receiving favorable notice as a singer In Chicago, Cleveland and Los Angeles, in which cities she has resided since the world's fair, at which time she began her studies with .Madame Linne, of the American conservatory, Chicago. She Is now a pupil of Margarita Chickerlng. Her niece, Miss Mabel Cronlse, daughter of Mrs. C. E. Jones, of Portland, is also a pupil of Mrs. Chickerlng, and shows promise of a pure, true lyric soprano voice. A special newspaper dispatch from Oak land, Cal., tells how Antoinette Trebelli's manager was refused the privilege of leas ing the Congregational chuch there for her concert because when she last sang in that edifice, some three years ago, an empty beer bottle had been found In the extem porized artist's room. The fact that It was a small bottle, and that the manager explained how Trcbelll really preferred milk as a vocal tonic, but substituted beer in the absence of lacteal fluid, did not avail. "There Is a moral to all temperance sto ries," says the Concert-Goer, "and in this instance It is not hard to deduce I. e., singers who perform in churches should take their nerve tonic at their hotels or else swallow the bottle." Madame Pattl used to keep her "press, notices," but these after a while filled so many volumes that she discontinued col lecting them. One cutting from a Chicago newspaper Is as follows: "Madame Patti, the eminent vocalist and farewellist, will come to us for positively the last time next year. All who expect to die before year after next will do well to hear the human nightingale on this trip, for Pattl never says good-by twice In the same year, and to die without hearing her high two-thousand-dollar note Is to seek the here after In woeful ignorance of the heights to which a woman with good lungs, a cas tle In Wales, and who uses only one kind of soap, can soar when she tries." "In writing of the decline of choral music In Cincinnati recently," says Rob ert I. Carter, "I neglected to mention an Important factor. The May festival of 'SB marked a falling off In interest of the vol unteer singers. This was largely due to the position the festival had taken toward all organizations who tried to do some thing for the city. Something radical had to be done to secure a respectable chorus for the festival of 9S. The solu tion was found in the purchase for $1003 for the services of the Apollo Club, an arrangement which worked well enough, but which the Apollo Club was unwilling to continue. The Festival Association therefore resorted to the expedient of hir ing singers individually. Thus during the past two years of preparation for the com ing festival a large proportion of the male chorus has been paid at the rate of $1 a rehearsal. This, of course, destroys the original intentions and alms of the festi val. But it also has a disastrous effect upon the other organlzat'ons, as singers who have once stepped ever the lines of 'professionalism' refuse to contribute their services for any work, and those who sing for love cf the art are unwilling to take their place beside those who are paid. It is the general sentiment that, the coming festival of 1900 will be the last one that Cincinnati will have unless something un expected appears to purify the whole mu sical atmospltere and furnish the festivals with a new Ideal." Miss Margaret Carolyn Mitchell, who will make her initial bow to a Portland audience this evening at the Jewish Wom en's Council. Is a graduate of the Elmlra college of music. New Tork. Her playing is characterized by brilliancy and vivacity, her style being decidedly of the bravura order. Miss Mitchell has a large and varied repertoire, and is said to have made a desirable reputation in the East. In all probability she will make Portland her future home. v ; -.. " I ( i- art. J, ? II LL.-. i SSSU ii W ii DEATH RATE BUT MTTLE OVER HAI.F THAT OF AMERICAN'S.' Ascribed to Temperate Mode of Irv ing and System o Bleat Inspection Prescribed by Mosaic Iia-rr. From time immemorial physical vigor has been considered a sine qua non to longevity. The races that distinguished themselves in the history of the world for their aggressiveness, their physical nrowess and valor, have in the main been ! inr0ri tn mrii manual labor, out- ofdotxr grdse and active modes of llv- ag aggIdu b- - ous in their devotion to their sports and AT CORDKAY'S THIS WEEK. games as the American or Englishman of today Is to his national pastime of base ball, football, cricket or racing, or the German to his fencing. The Teuton of the 19th century, In physical development, surpasses all other races and rules the world. He is what some one has dubbed a masculine race. He is,-on the whole, a long-lived race. He works with his hands, with his body, with his legs and with his brain In fact, he works altogether. He is not apt to stunt one portion of his physical make-up to aid in developing another portion. In his normal condition he is a country-dweller, and despises the town. In contradistinction to the Teuton, let us consider the Jew, and we speak now of the masses. Physically he is poorly de veloped. Centuries of oppression have stamped out his physical vigor, if not his vitality. The European Jew is under sized, and markedly so. His mental vigor, however, is unimpaired, and prob ably on the whole is superior to his neigh bor's. Dweller in Cities. He is a city-dweller, and betrays an in herent dislike for hard, manual labor, or for physical exercise or exertion in any form. He is averse to out-of-door sport. He prefers to live by his hraln rather than by his muscle. His chest capacity Is limited, and he possesses many other features of physical degeneracy. In fact, his physical make-up is what one would expect to find in a short-lived man. And here is a surprising feature. Possessing so few of the elements so long consid ered as necessary to longevity, the Jew Is probably the longest-lived of any race of people now in existence. His tenacity of life Is remarkable. In spite of the social conditions which surround the mass of the Hebrew popu lation the world over, and especially in the large cities of America, where they form a large percentage of the popula tion, the death rate among the Jewish Inhabitants is but little over half of that of the average American population. Professor William Z. Ripley, in his pa pers on the racial geography of Europe in the Popular Science Monthly, discusses this question very ably and very fully. He states that If two groups of 100 In fants each, one of Jewish and one of American parentage,, be born on the same day, one-half the Americans will die within 47 years, while the first half of the Jews will not succumb to disease before the expiration of 71 years. According to Lombroso, of 1000 Jews born, 217 die before the age of 7 years, while 453 Christians, more than twice as many, are likely to die within the same period. The immunity of the Jewish population from accident, on account of their indoor occupation, will account for some of the discrepancy, but on this very account they should be more liable to epidemic and other disease. Careful of Tlielr Diet. This. Is not wholly true, however. They show an abnormally small proportion of deaths from consumption and pneumonia, which are responsible for" the largest proportion of deaths among the Ameri can population. Professor Ripley ascribes their immunity from this, as well as from some other diseases, to the ex cellent system of meat inspeotion pre scribed by the Mosaic law. Hoffman says that In London as much as one-third of the meats offered for sale are rejected as unfit for consumpton by the Jews. Probably the temperate habjtsfor which the Jews, as a race, are noted will ac count to some extent for their immu nity. The Jew is temperate in almost all that he does, in all that he eats, and in all that he drinks. He is seldom addicted to the intemperate use of alcoholic liquors. He abstains from certain varieties of meat and those of the richer and more heat ing kinds, so. that his frugal diet; his temperate use of liquors, his abstinence from certain foods which are unwhole some, account for his remarkable free dom from Bright's disease and diseases of the liver, which are largely diseases of lntemperancec-The Family Doctor.
