. By Jr. I, w. EATHlEEN LAWLER during her stay in Kurop and her travel ; In the 8tata has coma to the conclusion that America -i full i of lovely voices and that the RlrU in thl country , do not ireaiiy know what native talent they posses. Miss Lawler, coloratura , soprano. Portland girl, preparing for -operatic ' work. A here to pass the summer, - planning to remain three months, and yesterday she tajlted interestingly and enthusiastically . of music and must clans, z-t "America has lovely voices." she erted, after speaking of the students in Paris and other European; centers. "The girls here seem to be born sing ers, nearly .every one with some veice, whereas in Europe natural i voices are r Quite rare.. . - - - "And voices seem to endure here bet ter, than for instance in France. Tou can't name a" famous French woman alnrer today, of age.. It seems their voices we not lasting. - X" r i his is due largely t& the language, however. - The French insist on dis tlnctN diction, and it cannot be done iu , French without a te.rrlfic strain on the fclgh voice. " "French .teachers i devote, more .at - tentlon to nuances and charm than voice, and this is why many foreign teachers Are so successful in Paris. They teach voice and tone production. The French teach interpretation and aU the little finishing touches that go : to perfect th art. ;, - -. "So - the French language is diffi cult tof the high voice, If you wish to ; guard your text.' But when it comes - t medium or low. It is different. That is whV we4 have ' so many splendid French baritones and bassos. - "lUlian, on the other hand, is free " and open. And so 1 English. "Some of the modern composers give you outlandish words to sing high. The old composers related the musie to - the text eo that for instance a word like Spring-would not fall on a high ' note' where it- could , not possibly be pronounced without - either Impairing the tone or the enunciation. A a vettt Vnn ; I nusei the Winter r In 'New York and while there met sey- eral former portlanders, among them Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab, soprano, '' whc is doing concert work and holding a-nod chair nosition. ' Her voice has developed "greatly and -broadened. Harry Hilligan. organist at the Fifth 'Avenue Baptist - church, , is gaining ' prominence through his childrn"a songs: Ann Swihburn is looking over plays for-the coming season and has been - coaching -for concert repertoire. Tom Dob son, tenor, gave two concerts recently that I had, the good fortune , to attend. He is studying voice and rirtinir Mall in Mmmnanlat I think he is going to develop into a very in teresting lieders singer. It is not so "much Dobson's voice that appeals, it is his artistic singing.- Marion Bauer's children's songs, like thos of Harry MlIUgan,.'are making quite a - hit. .1 . shall sing. one '-of each-at the concert : here before I leave. - "A greaf many singers of interna tional fame passed the winter in New Tork because of the war in r Europe. 'There were Sembrlch. teaching; Calve, , CarolineAVhite and David Bispham. in high "classsMvaudevllle? Paderewski, trying- to cllect funds for his suf fertng countrymen,-and unable to? play; Passles, the famous cellist; Bauer, the pianist, and Kreissler, the violinlst. -TVhy doesn't' Paderewski play? you heard it asked often. But the poor man can't play in his grief over his slxicken country. And there are many otners - in tne same category. ucj cannot put soul into .their art under such circumstances..- "Just before I left Paris, it was then a month after war had started, foreign students who resumed work were often . told to desist practicing In their rooms. They would begin to sing or play and immediately some one would rap on the door, and' courteously -but firmly ' intimate, that it was not to be toler ated. - Speaking of ; Portland singers in New Tork, I forgot to mention Kath- ' trine :.ara 4ruie, muu wiu() gooa wont mere. cue u wen uwu ' Portland." - . t , '..i;0 -4 : - ' ; .
