I Plucky American Girl
. Upsets All Traditions
MISS HELEN WAR&UM.
(Trained in New York, She Is
m Chosen for Opera Over
Foreign Stars,
M- ISS HELEN WARRUM of tn
Ulanapolls, an American-born
singer. tutored by American
music masters, has been en-
1" gaged as one the junior princi
pals of tlic Chicago-Philadelphia Opera
company, of which the glfti-d Andreas
Dlppel is th(. director,
lias Europe's artistic barrier to Amer
ican operatic popularity Anally been bat
tered down? Can an Ainerlcan-tauyht
slnper achieve success in her own land
without having first to travel tho long,
hard foreign operatic, road that passes
through Paris. Vienna, Berlin and other
critical centers?
The .story of the climb of Miss War
ruin is one to Insplro American woman
hood in all profession.. But "0 years old,
she is as serious as a woman of -10. A
descendant of Pa.triclc Henry, she lias the
blood and the flro of that patriot.
Studied Violin,
Miss "Warrum. after preliminary train
ing in her native city, put herself Into
the skillful handH of Oscar Saenger, Iho
famous New York voice builder. Her
only experience abroad was in studying
the violin while a meru child.
"Lot me tall: aerioualy with you. little
girl,' the master eald with earnestness.
"Yours is a long, hard road. It means
study abroad unless you can successfully
battle a. foolish tradition that only Eu
rope can produce great voices. You
know that hero In America, some pcodIs
think opera Is not opera without the
foreign stamp."
Then and there the Patrick Henry
Btuff in Helen Warrum asserted itself,
was flot money that was to be lh.j
barrier between her and Europe it was
her Americanism. She told Oscar
Saenger that if he would help her she
would go In and win favor at home
without tho nld of tho mythical foreign
label.
I A New Precedent.
When the Chlcaso-Phllndelphia opera
company was organized for tlic 1M2-13
season Helen "Warrum was ono of the
first singers to ask Andreas Dlppel, the
director, for a hearing. One of his first
questions was as to her foreign training,
not that Dlppel is un-American, for he
recently became a naturalized citizen of
tho United Stales, but well, it was tho
only natural grand opera Interrogation.
Tho girl bit her Hp and frankly told him
that Oscar Saengor hud built hr voice.
Then Dlppel. facing tho breakers of
tradition, and prejudice, decided to glv
I Miss "Warrum a full hearing.
HI To his surprise she sang In l-'rench,
BJ German and Italian. He saw In her the
j - youth of a schoolgirl but the vigor ami
IBM voice of a matured star. He asked her
HhB If sho had ever studied the role of the
BJBJ fairy godmother l:i "Cendrlllon."
IHH "Xo, but T can learn It'. Miss War-
"In three days?" he jisfccd doubtlnglv.
Hjn "Yes, in three days," the Patrick
n Henry blood assured hint. I
fH Mastered the Role.
MSB And. to Dippel's astonishment. Mio did
BH It. and did it from memory at the ap-
HKM pointed time. The director could not let
H traditional prejudice among opera-goers
'iBHJ stand in the way of his own good judg-
BPWJ merit. Helen Warrum, the American
99 singer, was made a member of his com-
Bnj pan under contract. Among the roles
WWW sho Is to sing during the winter are

UTAH SONGBIRD TO
LEAVE FOR EUROPE
Miss Emma. Lucy Gates has rccolved
a hurry call from her manager in.
Europe, tho noted Norhert Salter of Ber
lin, who has udvlsed the Utah songbird
that sho is booked for three concert's In
Scotland, beginning January 20. at Glas
gow. She will appear in two other con
certs In Scotland soon afterward, and
will then go to Germany to take up the
matter of her contract with the Roval
opera at Cassol.
MJss Gates's appearanco nt Cassol was
cut short through her prolonged Illness,
which necessitated her remaining here
through the summer and fall. Sho will
sail for Edinburgh about January 22, on
the Maurctanla, and will he accompanied
to Kurope by her father, Jacob F. Gules
of this city.
"Whether Miss Gales will continue hor
I engagement at Cassel, or make a new
contract, is something sho does not know
1 until she arrives on the ground.
It Is likely that Miss Gates will give
four concerts In Utah before leaving,
one each In Salt Lake. Ogden, Logan
and Provo, all out-of-town places having
urged her to visit them and give the
entertainments which had been an
nounced for last June, but which had to
be abandoned, n Ogden and Provo there
was a heavy advance sale, all of which
had to be rerundecf. Her Provo concert
s deilnltely set for December S. under
the auspices of the Provo tabernacle
choir. The Ogden and Logan dates have

of Spencer Claweon. Jr.. In hl3 studio
rooms at 27 South State street last
evening proved a most nleasurable and
artistic success. Mr. Clawson himself
appeared us accompanist and was assist
ed in tho recital by Clarence Burton,
violinist, who again distinguished him
self. Tho nartlcinants In ill, r..

principal number of the evening was a.

Orchestra Doing Well
Although It was the first reading of
that composition by the Salt Uike Phil
harmonic orchestra. Beethoven's second
symphony received an exceptionally ood
rendition at the orchestra's rehearsal last
Tuesday morning.
One of the fuatures developed at the
rehearsal was the determination to ad
here to the original purpose and to at
tempt no concert until evcrv member of
the orchestra felt satisfied within him
self that he had attained a sufficient de
gree of excellence to Justify nubile ap
pearance. A proposal was made that
the orchestra announce two concert
dates for this season, but tho Idea was
abandoned upon the monibcrs being re
minded of their formerly announced pur
pose. Director Anton Pederscn, after the ve
hcarsal on Tuesday last, said that he
had never heard In a Salt L-ukfl organ
ization heretofore a violin section
that was so well ecir-adjustcd as Is the
present one In tho matter of tone and
unity of movement. This Is one of the
first of tho desiderata in forming a sym
phony orchestra and its achievement in
the prcsenL organization foretells a suc
cess that hitherto lias not been realized.
