THE TEMPER CF SINGERS.
A Manager Sajs Musician. Are Hani t
Get Along With CaaM In I'oint.
"I rever knew a bass singer who wasn't
good uatum!. obliging and willing to be
corrected and reprtn ed. Next to the bass
singer comes the alto. She is a little
more independent than the bass, a little
more touchy and indifferent, but still
little fault can be found with her. But
the tenor and soprano are often terrors,
tho soprano seeming to be the worse of
the two. I guess it is natural, though,
for a female scold to be a little sharper
than n male.
'Professional tenors are almost inrari
ably conceited, willful and stubborn.
They ant to hare their own way. and
sulk or fly into a passion if they can't
hare it- This difference In the deport
ment of singers is due, I suppose, to the
nature ot their parts. The base and alto
are naturally subordinate to the tenor
and soprano. It is the tenor and soprano
who get the encores. They arc petted
and courted and in some cases almost
deified. Naturally get conceited in respect
to their ability. Any correction or warn
ing on the part of the director Is nlmo-t
regarded in the light of an impertinence.
It is a good thing to show one's apprecia
tion of n hat is ell done, but the flattery
of repeated encores pfays the mischief
with tenors and sopranos, anl becomes a
source of bane to directors.
"A case in point to illustrate the will
fulness of singers is that of Pnrepa Itosa
in old Farwell hall, Just before the great
fire. I was the director, and the piece pro
duced was The Creation.' As you know,
the last chorus Is quite moderate time,
interchanged with embellishing passages.
One particular part Parepa insisted on
singing in a florid stjle about twice as
fust as it was meant to be sung. In vain
I pleaded and argued with her, assuring
her that her way was not customary and
that the chorus could not possibly follow
her. Xo, she was master of that particu
lar part, and she would sing it as she
chose or not at nil. Finding her obdurate,
I told her that I sboulsj not ask the chorus
to take a faster time, and that if she per
sisted In carrying out her whim I should
break tho time to 6ult her and change
back after her part was finished. She
didn't care what I did. The solo parts
were all she was specially interested In,
and I could manage the rest to sulfrny
self. So brent tlio time re ti,T mnllnrr
an awtivnrd bitch andalj but a-polling the
I ,
piece un tnc same evening, a little fur-
thcr on, she essayed to strike liiSh Cl
tiUVlt: lb 03U a, nilllCU O.I Oil. HUM CILintS
to a dead standstill-utterlv broke oown.
I always thought it was a just retribution
for her illf ulness.
"Another case when the prima donna
came out second best occurred when I was
conducting I oilman's 'Lay of the Meln
sine' in Louisville In J677. Mme. Pappen
beim was the prima donna. The compo
sition was entirely new, both to her and
t o the chorus. At the last rehearsal I was
cry nnxious to have the whole thing car
ried through with full oice, just ns at the
ftual production. A large paid audience
was assembled. But Slme. Pappcnhcim
refused to carry her part as I wanted bcr
to, urging; as an excuse the weariness pro
duced by such rehearsals. I knew that
she had been singing Wajmerian opera
seven times a week and gloryinjr in it, and
i mm uur to. xiui no; sue screened ner
real motive, which was mero capricious
ness, nnd insisted on having her way All
the others sang with full voice till It came
to her, but she would not move. I pur
posely tittered a few words of remon
MRinte k that the audience could hear
me nnil tiassed on. The next solo part
was by Mr licmmertx. who came ont
strong anil full and did his best. Thcau
dicuce was cry demonstrate e and warm
ly encored him. Thfc. was too much for
the prima donna. Jealousy overcame
her contrariness, and, coming meekly for
ward, she asked if I nonld not repeat bcr
part so that she conld sing it as Mr Rem-
incrtz had ld. Of course I complied ilh
her request and she tang everything else

touches. The convulsion which precedes
the change is very true to nature. The

Recommends Cleveland's Superior Baking
Powder, and condemns
lin Baking Powder.
This is to certify that I have examintd
Cleveland's Superior Baking Powder, samples of
which I purchased in open market, and that I
can recommend it as a good, wholesome, and
unadulterated article. It does not contain
ammonia, an ingredient of many baking powders,
and one which I regard as highly objectionable,
;
SllaCC
it seriously impairs
examined biscuits baked with an ammoniated
powder, and have found, as has been repeatedly
declared, that the ammonia was still there.
Cleveland's powder gave the amount of pure
carbonic acid claimed for it by the manufacturers.
