ARTHUR HAMMERSTEIN
WHEN Arthur Hammerstein, son
of Oscar Hammerstein, of grand
opera fame, made a spectacular
success with nls first comic opera pro
duction,' "Naughty Marietta," theater
loving Americans wondered If he had
stumbled blindly upon a gold mine, or
if "Naughty Marietta" was the product
of a genius inherited from his father.
So many first successes of this nature
have been the result of mere chance,
but Mr. Hammerstein didn't leave them

GODOWSKY IN TEMPERAMENTAL
STORM OVER CARUSO'SBILLING
Featuring of Tenor Over Other ArtisU Prompts Protest and Is JT
David Bispham Entertains Men in Sing Sing Prison-Joseph Lhevmne Writes From Abroad.
WY EMILIS FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, Feb. 20. (Special.)
There have been tempests in tea
pots and there have been storms
In other localities, but the one that
brewed and blew over the Biltmore and
Its musical doings Is worthy of record.
Whatever the beginning may have been
may be told later, but the fact remains
hat when Caruso sang last Thursday
morning there was less tnan mu. ,
audience that the hotel ballroom would
hold. How to explain? No one tries
to explain these days: one merely states.
It appears that Godowsky was pres
ent at the first niualcale, and he had
the impression that more stress was
laid by the management upon the pres
ence of a popular .operatic star than
upon the presence of one of the world a
Breatest artists, so he said to his own
impresario. K. B. Johnston, who is man-
'aging these hotel affairs:
"Now. look here, Mr. Johnston, I take
exception to the manner In which Miss
Farrar was billed and featured over
Casals. He is one of tne greatest artists
of the world, and deserves more than
to be played as second feature to any
one, even to Miss Farrar. whose art I
appreciate and whose popularity 1 un
derstand. 1 will also insist that when
an Instrumentalist has given his whole
life and has studied with all his blood
and all bis brain, he cannot be put to
one side because you want to make
things sensational. If you ever do that
to me, I inform you here and now I will
not appear."
Mr. Johnston pooh-poohed the Idea
that he would place Godowsky second
to anyone In the world. He was. in the
first place, interested in the Godowsky
auccess. etc. etc But in an unguarded
moment Mr. Johnston entertained all
the artists who were to participate in
the season's muslcales at a supper at
the Biltmore Saturday night before the
next musicale which was announced for
the following Thursday. When Mr.
Godowsky entered the first thing that
srreeted him was a placard announcing
ihe artists for the following musicale
The names were Mm. Rappold. Leopold
Godowsky and Caruso, the latter in
such large and such red type that even
with a lantern and a microscope It was
' difficult for Mr. Godowsky to ferret out
the other two names. Caruso Caruso
bemg the only thing that met his as
tonished gaae. He then said to the
manager that, with no intention to be
vain glorious or egotistic, that, in the
name of all instrumentalists, he with
drew from the musicale. The hotel
management and Mr. Johnston said they
would make all possible atonement;
that they would publicly apologize or
do anything that he wished done. Mean
while, the story found its way into the
daily papers, and this brought the -Instrumental
players in a body to Mr.
, Godowsky to express their appreciation
of his attitude. Among those who called
personally were Franx KnelseU Mlscha
rjlnian and many others. On the other
hand, when the advertisements appeared
in the amusement columns of the dally
papers the name of Caruso appeared
nowhere, but instead the line read that
"the world's greatest tenor would sing."
this appearance being practically one of
his last. There were those who be
lieved this to e done to comply with
Mr. Godowskys demands, but no, there
was more trouble. The subscribers of
the Metropolitan Opera raised an abso
lute objection to the advertising of
Caruso and even to his appearance.
Feelinsr none too kindly toward the
management because they do not and
cannot be made to understand his ap
proaching departure, they make the
claim that If Caruso has any extra per
formances that he Is willing to give.
' there is no reason why these should be
made outside of the opera-house.
Thursday morning the name of
Germaine Scbnltzer appeared instead of
that of Godowsky and whereas a per
fectly good concert was given there
was a notoriously small audience pres
ent. Could it be possible that part
of the cause was due to the fact that
.the prices of the tickets for this con
cert had been raised to 15 instead of
the usual 93 wnicn is supposed 10 o
the price of a ticket by the series!
tfor si more varuso couiu 00 ncara in
a real role and not merely In a few
songs Moral: Sometimes people want
substance, not that inflated thing
called reputation.
It was a long time before any one
was interested in any question other
than "Who was to blame for the pres
ent war?"
This is well nigh forgotten and a
few questions people are asking them
selves and each other are:
Whv Is Alfred Hertz leaving me
Metropolitan?
1Uh lo Pariien paItiF t O CrOSS the
ocean at the most dangerous time and
for what seems to De a wuu-g"""
chase"?
Why this persistence that Geraldine
Farrar intends to leave the Metro
politan?
Why did she turn her affairs over
to Charles Ellis, who now has the ar
ranging of the price the Metropolitan
will have to pay her?

marvelous performances of German
opera as we are now enjoying?
II U J W ' -w '
amount of pleasure in minding every
body's business? nut is inis
the business of the public who pays
the price?
For those who want to know Just
what happened in the case of Josef
T h.trlnn. thtt fnllnwllIP ATrPTDtS f TOTTl
a letter written by the Russian pianist
to his impresario, louoou uamun,
will be of interest.
'At first everything was in confusion
but after a few weeks of suspense I
was definitely Informed that the Ger
man government (the attitude of which
has always been most courteous) would
permit me to depart and I notified you
accordingly. I was told, however, that
. - .marl,. n Ibbva RArlin until
definite arrangements for sailing were
made, lor li Dy any cnance i bhuuiu
.. thA ftv nnH fnund it im
possible to embark, I would not be
able to return to my nome in nannoeo.
The difficulties of securing passage
were innumerable. Suddenly an order
was promulgated that no more Berlin
alien residents belonging to any of
the warring nations would be permitted
to leave Germany. I exerted every in
fluence through governmental and
business friends but all to no avail, for
I was quite unable to secure the neces.
sary passport.
"My position today is a most unfor
tunate one. I am held here a virtual
prisoner of war, compelled to report
regularly to the authorities, and with
out any opportunity to give concerts.
I am unable to realize on any of my
investments in other countries and my
money loss Is very great, but I am
..k.ii. .(....A In Ravinar that m V
deepest regret Is my forced disappoint
ment or my muy iiMwa wuv no. t
engaged me for appearances. I can
only repeat that I was confident of
my ability to sail and make my tour
up to the very last. I hope surely to
be In the United States the whole of
next season."
David Bispham stole enough time
from his very busy season to go up the
Hudson River the other day to sing for
the prisoners confined in Sing Sing.
There have been a number of plays,
moving pictures and lectures given be
fore these unfortunates, but it remained
for the great American baritone to
reach them as they had . never been
reached before by his very graphic and
-t r.. tir tntatrnretationS- And SO far
as the singer is concerred, it Is Inter
esting ta note mat ne is m buv.ii tuii
condition vocally that he was able to
meet an unusual cituation that of glv.
ing two vocal recitals instead of one
performance. The cause for this will
be found In the fact that there were
1S00 prisoners and only 800 could be ac
commodated at one time in the chapel,
for which reason Mr. Bispham sang his
programme for the first 800 and only
rested as these filed out and the others
tiled In.
Warden Osborne Introduced the
singer as his personal friend and before
Mr. Bispham left the auditorium each
man lelt that he had found a very dear
personal friend. Mr. Bispham made his
programme to include numbers by
Mendelssohn, Gounod, Wagner and
Handel but when he sang Schumann s
"The Two Grenadiers" the men fairly
screamed with enthusiasm and for both
audiences he was compelled to repeat
this number. j
Mr. Bispham said: "This was one of
the greatest experiences of my life
Toughs, black and white, young and
old, murderers, bank robbers, confidence
men, educated and uneducated, clever
and stupid and some who are no doubt
innocent all held by the power of
song. I did not feel my own person
ality in connection with what Joy these
men were .getting. I only felt the
power of song, the sublimity of music.
I do not think I ever felt it so strongly
before. 1 knew that there were many
present who had heard me in concert
and at-the Metropolitan Opera-House,
but I feel that those songs went deeper
than we know, deeper than songs
usually go." -
Not only did Mr. Bispham sing for
his audience, but he recited "King Rob
ert of Sicily," with musical setting of
Rossiter Cole, and this seemed to move
his hearers nrofoundly. as did his sing
ing of "Annie Laurie." It was to be
noted that the Italians led in the ap
plause and that their enjoyment
amounted to an ecstasy. This experi
ment was deemed so successful that a
recrular series of musical entertain
ments will be planned for the prisoners
but the artists will not all have the
powers of David Bispham.
Victor Herbert had his little fling at
wlelders of the critical pen in New
York.-and he talked at length about
American music and what is meant by
American music, he himself being one
of the most noted exponents of music
of this country born in Dublin. 9
Then he epoke of Walter Damrosch,
born in Germany, as any other Amer
ican composer who had had an opera
presented at the Metropolitan. All
this was said at the Opera Club, which
is making a propaganda for American
opera in America. Perhaps one of the
most salient points made' by Mr. Her
bert was that the greatest trouble lies
in the fact that there is so little out
let for any opera in America inasmuch
as toe Metropolitan is the only opera
house a this country and it cannot
give everything. He deplored the fact
with some severity that the cities
which had been supporting opera had
withdrawn the support the moment
the capitalists began to fear that some
loss might ensue. The history of
grand opera all over the world- shows
that it Is a losing game and those who
want to foster culture and music In
their homes are willing to shoulder
this loss for the sake of the gain
to the communities and to their fam
ilies. He spoke with enthusiasm about
the opera of Arthur Nevin, "Poia,"
given a few years ago in Berlin, the
score of which he had Just examined.
He said it was exceedingly beautiful
music and that the story was of equal
merit. Excerpts of this work .were
heard, as were a great number of
arias and portions of the new opera
of Horatio W. Parker, "Fairyland,"
which will have its first production on
any stage in Los Angeles this Summer.
" David Bispham, one of the speakers
of the afternoon, told many interest
ing details of the awarding of the
$10,00Q prize to Mr. -Parker for this
opera. He also told of the original
productions of the California com
posers in the Redwoods, where twice
he was called to create the principal
roles in operas that were written by
Henry Hadley "The Atonement of Pan"
and W. J. McCoy, "The Cave Man."
He described these performances graph
ically. A letter from John Luther Long,
author of "Madam Butterfly," was re
ceived with much interest and enthus
iasm. In this. Mr. Long expressed the
opinion that it would be not less than
two or three generations before Eu
rope would return to any important
creative work in the world of art and
that only in America could there be
any advance made. He said that
America was the only place where
what exists now can be preserved and
only here will anything new be cre
ated He indicated, therefore, that
there was a great responsibility upon
all those who could further the artistic
spirit and life of this country.-
The vocal numbers were given by
Mme. di Pasquali, George Harris, Jr
and William Hlnshaw,

POTATO MEAL PROPOSED
NOW FOR BREAD MAKING
Mixed With Wheat Flour, Results Are Said to Be Satisfactory, and Aid
in Reducing Cost of Living.
BAKING experiments. .to, test- the
value of making bread of potato
meal mixed with wheat flour are
now being undertaken by the United
States Department of Agriculture's bu
reau of chemistry. This is to test the
possibilities of the potato in the same
manner as Germany' and Austria ere
now advising their people to do. The
increased cost of living throughout the
world has emphasized the fact that
flour made of other, substances than,
wheat, or of these substances mixed
with wheat, might provide peoole with
healthful food quite as nutritious as
the pure wheat flour, and at the same
time cheaper. .
Austrian bakers are now compelled
by law to use at least 30 per cent po
tato meal in making their bread. The
oureau of chemistry's potato-meal breao
has been baked with from 25 to 60 per
cent potato meal and the remaining
percentage wheat. - The moat satisfac
tory loaves in combining economy ana
appearance were those made with the
minimum percentage allowed in Austria
or loss. The loaves made with mora
than 30 per cent potato-meal were not
so satisfactory as they were heavier
and less attractive in form. The bfead
has a rather coarse texture and dark
.ppearance but possesses a distinctive
nd agreeable flavor. It also retains
moisture for a much longer period than
ordinary wheat bread.
" Imported Potato Flake Used.
The bureau of chemistry used the
imported "potato flake", in some of Its
experiments, and in others meal made
by slicing, milling and drying potatoes
on a small scale in its laboratories.. It
should be added that such ordinary
"potato flour" as is on our American
markets is not the same as the Ger
man "potato flake", or walz-mehl,
which has given suoh satisfactory re
sults in the experiments.
The question has been raised as to
whether the ordinary cooked potato
might not be satisfactorily substituted
for the prepared potato-meal. The ex
perimenters believe that it might serve
the same purpose if-used in Just the
right proportion, but this would be
difficult for the average housewife to
determine, as there is great danger
of using too much and producing a
very soggy loaf. However, the custom
of adding a very little potato Is al
ready used by many housekeepers to
keep their bread moist, and this prac
tice can very well be recommended for
more general use.
Banana and Chectn Uaed.
Dried bananas, ripe and unripe, and
chestnuts are other substitutes for
wheat flour with which experiments
are being made by the bureau of chem
istry Still other products which offer
promise of furnishing the public with
a cheap and nutritious, bread are the
following: Bran, soy bean, white bean,
millet, kafflr. milo. daaheen, cottonseed
flour, oatmeal, cassava, buckwheat,
rye. - corn gluten, kaoliang, rice (pol
ished and natural), peas, potato (Irish
and sweet), corr.meal (white and yel
low).. ... - -
The breads made from these various
Ingredients have already been photo
graphed and analyzed. The flours
from which the breads were made are
being analyzed, that It may be known
exactly how nutritious they are In
comparlson-withthe pure wheat flour.
The soy bean and cottonseed flours,
when mixed with wheat , flours in
proper proportions (aljatit 2Z per cent)
give a bread with about twice te
amount - of . protein (muscle-bulldine
element) . that ordinary wheat bread
contains.
Mixed Flour ' an . Unpopular Bualaeas.
The bureau, of chemistry is making
these experiments In spite of the fact
that there is a law which, makes it
difficult for manufacturers to make
mixed flouf satisfactorily. This law
surrounds the manufacture of mixed
flour with so many restrictions that
the business has not become a popular
one. The result Is there is very little
mixed flour at present manufactured
and offered for Bale.
The mixed flour act was passed in
1898 before there was a. food and drugs
act and was passed for the purpose of
raising a war revenue at a time when
many of the common articles of food
did not command so high a price as
now.. .
The tax of i cents which is now
imposed on every barrel of mixed flour
is not in Itself a heavy one; It is the
collection of it with the attendant reg
ulations and restrictions that hamper
any manufacturer who would like to
make uch flours.
It should be stated In connection with
the mlxlnr of other materials with
wheat flour in making bread that this
cannot always be done economically.
There must be taken Into considera
tion the prevailing market prices of
the commodities to be used.
