HAMMERSTEIN
ITALIAN
Rivalry Between Artist3
N5W YORK, March 15. (Special Cor
respondence.) When troubles stop at
the Metropolitan -their seem tr.
t the Manhattan, which means that the
.iaito or Fortieth street la comparatively
calm, tout the waters around Thirty
fourth street are troubled. Campaninl
has sent in his resignation, and while it
was at first believed that things could be
amicably adjusted, it looks now as
though we. were to lose this admirable
conductor to whose skill, musicianship
and untiring endeavors the present posi
tion of the. Manhattan is due.
While one reason or another -is offered
as explanation. It is really believed to be
due to JSrv Hammerstein' s decision to give
French repertory almost exclusively, as
he brieves that this has built the "foun
dation of his success. It Is true that Mr.
Hammerstein was wonderfully .lucky in
having In his organization three such
people s Mary Garden. Renaud and ral
mores, and through them, with the hearty
co-operation of Campaninl, who gave the
French works such superb presentations,
Mr. Hammerstein has built up a large
following .because these three artists
hsvo In themselves drawing power. But
Mr. Hammerstein has a trio of Italian
artists, practically unsurpassable, and a
large number of excellent artists which
If disbanded would be difficult to replace.
Among these are Mme. Tetrazssinl. Zena
tello the tenor, and Sammarco the bari
tone, all of unique distinction and abili
ties. As nearly as one can get at the
truth, which is always carefully guarded
at such moments, Mr. Hammerlteln has
expressed hi? intention to give Italian
opera In Philadelphia, but to discard for
New Tcrk the old Italian repertorv, and
this would do away -with Mme. Tetrai
xlnl's value at the Manhattan.
It Is due to this suggestion that the
Italian members of the Manhattan com
pany are receiving propositions from
elsewhere. It Is true they are bound by
contracts, but tt woujd probably not be
difficult to prove that the first offense
seems to come from Mr. Hammerstein,
as they were not originally engaged for
Philadelphia, and the constant traveling
back and forth has been a hardship to
which they have consented only because
of their Interest In Mr. Hammerstein's
welfare-. The statement made by Mr.
Hammerstein. however, does not indicate
these facts. He said: "I fully appreci
ate Mr. Campantni's services and I have
for him the highest regard. The facts
of the case are that when Mtes Garden
objected to Mile. Cavalleri's singing any
of her roles.' she made some remarks to
which the Italian members of my com
pany took exception. Since then the re
lations betwen the French artists and the
Italian ones have become strained. When
It came to the matter of signing a con
tract with Mr. Campaninl, I found it
necessary to Insist upon certain condi
tions with a view to restoring amicable
relations between the rival camps. To
these conditions Mr. Campaninl objected
and, as I must he master of my own
house, I cannot continue to give opera."
Mr. Hammerstein also stated that the
preponderance of opera would be given to
i iiivii pvnuui ana ne wouia call his
French company into precedence over the
Italian one. He has not announced the
names of his choice, but among those
who are spoken of by Dame Rumor are
Messager, of the Grand Opera of Paris,
and Walter Damrosch, who has had oper
atic experience in Wagnerian opera.
However, there is little confidence to be
placed In such reports, as Mr. Damrosch
has built up a remarkable series of con
certs in New Tork and would hardly be
likely to Jeopardize his interests on ac
count of the operatic career. As to the
conductor from Paris, there is more like
lihood of that being the case, as condi
tions in the Paris house are deplorable
at present and he would no doubt be glad
to escape from the frying pan even for
the fire.
. Elman played again on Sunday night
at the Manhattan, where he seems to be
a regular member of the company. This
brilliant young violinist has had the
most remarkable tour ever experienced
by an artist on his first visit to America
He will play still another recital at Car
negie Hall before starting on his West
ern trip, and this will be the twenty
second time that he will have played in
New York, In nearly every case crowding
the house to the full capacity. It is not
saying too much to claim for Elman that,
although he was not exploited as a sen
. satlon. he became one, by his sheer pow
ers as violinist, which are immeasur
able. His success has been so great that
contrary to the usual manner of doing
things In the concert world, he will re
turn next season, notwithstanding the
fact that he will have with him in the
field Ysaye. Krelsler and probably others.
Among the pianists announced for next
season are Carreno, Rosenthal, Pugno
and Samaroff. Indeed, New York will be
nearly stifled with music, as there will
be three grand opera companies, the third
of which promises opera at reduced rates
with the best artists. This will be given
at the Academy of Music until such time
as the following will allow a move further
up town. In a certain sense the Acad
emy Is much easier of access to people
living urp town in the best section of New
York than Mr. Hammerstein's opera
house on Thirty-fourth street. The con
ductor selected is Eduardo Mascheroni, a
man of International repute and of. un
doubted Importance. Further announce
ments will be forthcoming within a cou
ple of weeks.
Roth the Metropolitan and the Manhat
tan will add light opera to the regular
season, and the Metropolitan will give
this form of opera and "opera comique."
In the New Theater. While on the sub
ject of "opera comique" it is well to
establish the exact meaning of the word,
which Is not at all comio opera, but which
Is only different from grand opera In
form, that la to say without ballet and
without a preponderance, of choruses such
as are to be found in the older works.
"Louise," for Instance, which is tragic
from the rise of the curtain to the fall.
Is opera comique, as is "Pelleaa et Mell
sande." "L Jongleur de Notre Dame,"
and even "Madama Butterfly" is given
at the Opera Comique in Paris, and not
at the Grand Opera.
Both organizations are making their en
gagements, and it Is safe to say that
they will go over the whole of Europe
with a fine-tooth comb In search of sing
ers. , Americans have the same chance
that the foreign singers have, but they
have not the languages at their com
mand, and one .might Just as well not
study singing as not to study French
especially French German and Italian.
Strange as it may seem, judging by the
number of actors and actresses on the
stage, our own people are strangely defi
cient In dramatic action, which has been
the success of both Mary Garden and
Renaud, who are regarded as first on any
stage -in the histrionic art, and the mo
ment is at hand where a singer without
stage experience and ease has little
chance to get ahead. Even within the last
ten years there has been a violent up
heaval in operatic conditions, and, as I
havs said years ago. the time has come
where the conditions need Americans as
much as Americans need the opportuni
ties; but are they ready?
Henry W. Savage is again making up
his English grand opera company very
quietly, and this has not as yet been an
nounced, tout little btrds say that it Is
true, and little birds usually know. It
Is understood that he will assemble the
best company he has ever brought to
gether, and that he will give many of
the newer works which have never as yet
been translated. He will probably have
as leading tenor Vernon Settles, who made
a pronounced success in "Madama But-
PLANS TO DISCONTINUE
OPERA SOON AT MANHATTAN
of Two Nationalities Expected to End
terfly," and who nas been singing in
Vienna this season. Nothing further can
even be reached by speculation, as Mr.
Savage is one of the reticent kind, when
it comes to telling about plans, as every
one in newspaper life knows. While In
Europe this time, however, Mr. Savage
secured a powerful French play which,
according to European advices, he will
produce in London before New York will
be permitted to pass upon it. This Is the
celebrated "La Femme X," the dramatic
sensation of the year In Paris. Mrs. Pat
rick Campbell will play the role belong
ing to Jane Hading in London, and
whether or not the enterprising manager
will bring Mrs. Campbell to America for
this role ha!s not been divulged, but it
looks that way.
New Yorkers are wondering yet where
Mr. Savage struck a bargain sale of silk
stockings, and they are equally curious
to know why the gentleman, supplied
about a thousand women with silk hos
iery. Of course, every one has heard of
that last wonderful performance of "Mary
Jane's Pa." when the souvenirs to be
given away were announced as ' "a pair
of silk stockings to each lady." Well,
the ladies were at the Garden Theater,
all right. Some were even accused of
having dressed up their young sons in
female attire and of having brought their
servant maids along to make them as
many as possible. If Mr. Dixey had any
idea that he was the center of attrac
tion that night he must have gotten over
it before the curtain fell on his laet
lines.
The line at the stocking counter w

seekers, and when Mr. Dixey with tesrs

much worth fighting for in this world
as love," every woman in the house
seemed to think that silk stockings went

A Cozy Seven-Rioom Bungalow Planned by a Woman
BY H.
M,IAM'
I have learned by many experiences and
I strongly maintain that when a bright,
intelligent home-loving woman plans a
house, it reaches a perfection of conveni
ence seldom approached by a mere man.
be he ever so skilled In architecture or
never so clever in designing.
The bungalow illustrated on this page
is now being built in Los Angeles and the
floor plan and general exterior were
designed by the wife of its owner. This
is the third home that this lady has
planned and profiting by previous mis
takes she has now evolved one which
may well be taken as a model for a
small family.
The exterior is artistic, quaint and at
tractive with rough weather boarding,
heavy verges and trim and rough brick
and cobble-stone work in the porch walls
and exposed chimney. There is a fine
front porch 40 feet by 9 feet with cement
steps. The interior arrangement is plain
ly shown in the floor plan herewith
shown. The living-room open's through to
a small open court or patio, and by but
tressed openings Into the dining-room and
den on either side, the three rooms form
ing practically one -large apartment Just
irregular enough in shape to afford plenty
of cozy nooks and corners. These three
rooms have oak floors, and high paneled
wainscoting with heavy plate-rail. There
are two open fire-places with artistic
mantels and the dining-room has a very
pretty built-in buffet with .plate-glass
mirror, and leaded glass doors, cupboards,
drawers, etc. The kitchen is built In
full cabinet style with cupboards, closets,
bins, cooling closet, etc., located exactly
right for convenience.
The breakfast room opens from the
kitchen and across the court ' are ths
bedrooms, etc. There are two good sized
bedrooms with closets, a well - located
bathroom, linen closet, etc. The exterior
of the house will 'be stained, with a
stained shingle roof and painted casings
and trim.
Inside, ths walls have a carpet float
finish tinted except the kitchen and bath
room walls below the chair rail which
ar finished smooth and enameled so that
they may be washed the same as tiling.
The Inside wood work is of slashed grain
Oregon pine stained and finished a dull
eggshell gloss, except the bedrooms and
bathroom wood work which is enameled
white.
The whole plan is worthy of close study
for tt is a model of convenience and
reflects the cleverness of its, designer

cause she wouldn't ask for the right num
ber with all the other women listening.
The excitement in the art world for
the last couijle of weeks centered in
painting rather than in music or drama.
This was due to the presence of a collec
tion of pictures, some SoO, of Joaquin So
rolla who is in New York, and who has
had the remarkable experience of seeing
over ISO.Opo people flock i'n actual droves
to see the collection shown at the build
ing of the Hispanic Society, out at 156th
street. Apart from the pictures them
selves, which command the utmost re
spect and every trihute that can be of
fered to a great and individual art, no
such stories-i for the humorist ha ever
been devised as the scenes connectetl with
the visiting public. It would be interest
ing to know what was the actual motive
for the wild flocking to see the pictures.
They deserve every tribute, as I have
said, but can It be possible that In this
city that man, woman and child is in
terested to such an extent that a real
view of the pictures was impossible? No
admlssfon was asked and the crowds were
incredible. .
A line was formed almost a block away
from the building and it is needless to
say that the pictures were witnessed to
the woil known New York tune of "Step
Lively, Please." Time for study, or for
c-ontemplation? Well. I guess not. "Step
Lively, Please." The pictures were worth
more than that. Sorolla is staying at the
Savoy Hotel with his daughter, who also
shows very great talent and the keenest
delight in America and what it offers to
the artist. The painter was born, at
Valencia, Spain, in 1863, and two years
later the cholera left him an -orphan.

Sorolla is now regarded as the foremost
painter of Spain and his works are unique
in their charm. His characteristics are
strong outbursts of sunshine and figures
painted in the water. His bathers and
sea pictures are really wonderful and his
portraits have been so well received that
he will remain in this country until he
will have finished painting some of the
most noted people in the 400, beginning
with Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan. He is
small in stature and very animated. His
beard and his sparkling eyes bring to
mind Wagner's "Alberich." When ques
tioned upon his opinions of America, the
Spanish painter said:
"I have hardly received any definite
impression because I felt that I knew
America from the Paris Exposition where
I was amazed at the examples of Ameri
can art. I can say with truth that so
greatly I admired the American exhibi
tion that I wished it might have bera the
Spanish section. At that time t saw
examples of Sargent. Melchers. ' Chase,.
Beaux and Alexander and I have studied
their works ever since."
SorDlla was then asked whether he be
lieved that American artists could get
sufficient training in their own country
or whether it was necessary to study
abroad. He acswered: "For the matter
of travel, that is good for everybody.
It is lust as good for European painters
to come here. Such men as Whistler.

California University Coeds to
Study Real Domestic Science
Society Jolted by Sacramento Widow's Marriage to Chauffeur Burns'
1 Detective Force Costs $3830 Monthly.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., March 20.
(Special.) For 'tb.e first time in
the history of the University of
California, the co-eds are to be given
instruction in domestic science. Courses
in, "The Management of the Twentieth
Century Household" and other allied
subjects, are to be given by Mrs. Ellen
H. Richards, a member of the faculty
of the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, who is coming to California
to give lectures-and practical instruc
tion at the annual Summer session.
For years, the young ladies at the
State University, have been well versed
in the lore of mythology, have been
able to discourse intelligently In Greek
and Latin and have been well founded
In the giving of class yells and rooting
for the various Varsity crews. But as
tor knowing anything pertaining to
that home science of cooking, they
were as void of knowledge as a babe.
To the end that they, might gain a lit
tle knowledge on this subject, there
has been a continued demand in cer
tain parts. It was contended that If
the boys could learn to run farms, the
girls ought to know how to cook. And
at last, it has come about. One of the
courses given will be a practical prep
aration for matrimony, so arranged .as
to suit three grades of income on the
part of the husband. The course Is
entitled: "Estimates and plans for
three grades of income." And. it
will be applied domesticity, at
that. The young ladies will do more
than lecture. They will learn how to
order, how to" prepare their meals and
how to save money in so doing. Cali
fornians look upon it as a step In the
right direction. They believe that by
thus broadening the courses for women
at the State University, that there will
be more in attendance. There are some
of the modern women, at least, who
want to know how to cook and the
Summer course at California, will give
them the chance for which they are
looking. ,

in this country there should also ariss
a purely personal school of painting as
far as possible. America needs to see
more of the works of its own artists.
There are very few American paintings
hung in the Metropolitan. Museum and in
other galleries American art. Is, I think,
more solid than European. I think this
Is due to the fact that American artists
seek the truth. They believe in nature
rather than in tradition. Old paintings
and master-pieces have less value to the
painter than to the art student. The
latter must know the master-pieces as a
matter of culture, but the painter should
create things as he sees them, not In the
manner of someone else." When aston
ishment -was expressed at this remark,
the great painter continued: "In order
for an artist to be Justified in imitating
an old master he would have to have the
same personality, he would have to have
the same powers of visualization., in short,
he would have to toe a reincarnation In
every way of an artist of the early cen
turies. This might come- to pass as a
miraole. but it is not -within the bounds
of probability. The work of every artist
should be the expression of his ego. with
his own convictions and confidence in
this ego. Tradition which can only
weaken such confidence must be treated,
therefor, with caution."
Sorolla expressed the opinion that news

where else In the world. He said that it

Our bodies are absolutely de

any impurity, humor or poison acts injuriously on the system and

Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes, and the various skin affections,
show that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as the result
of some humor, or the presence of a fiery acid which inflame-'

sassinate Him.
PARIS. March 30 (Special.) The forti
fication trench near the Porte de Vin
cennes was the scene of an "Apache"
crime last night. Henri Toussaint a
blacksmith, had a sweetheart who was
coveted by his companion. Serge Pasquier
The latter, remembering that the black
smith was a man of herculean build
dared not fight for the girl himself. He
employed a young "Apache." known as
Le FTise. who picked a quarrel with
the blacksmith and challenged him to
combat.
The blacksmith readily accepted the
challenge, and turned up at the spot
agreed upon, congratulating himself on
having an easy Job on hand. But instead
of finding the young bully alone he found
himself surrounded by eight Apaches all
armed with knives and revolvers.
The son of Vulcan did not take to his
heels, but struck out right and left. Sud- '
denly two revolver shots rang out, and he
fell to the ground. When policemen, at
tracted by the shots, found the black
smith and took him to the hospital It
was found that he had been mortally
wounded. His assailants were arrested.
