PART II GENEVRA JOHNSTONE-BISHOP Jenny I.lnd "The StredlNh •- Nightingale" '¦'i " ' C .' . 1820-1887 >* ' -V. ,¦: ' WHEN we recall the name of Jenny Lind, a household word familiar all over the world, we think of her charming Individuality as a woman, as much as of her great and enduring fame ¦ as an artist. Her relation to art was of Ihe highest, her fame was great, but her life was higher and greater than these. Titlcns, Nllaaon, Mallbran and Fattl are also familiar names, but their meaning and luster belong wholly to the footlights. .Tenny Lind comes home to us, as it were, and touches our hearts and sympathies to a higher issue of praise and admira tion, because somehow we have never dis sociated the unrivaled singer, tho cul tured and world famous artist, from the sterling hearted woman whose first thought was for the claims of humanity. Jenny Lind was born in Sweden and al ways retained a sense of patriotic devo tion toward the land of her birth, al though she, as an artist, was forced to become a citizen of the world. Her parents were In humble circumstances lind lived ln a little cottage by the mountain side. One day while nursing a cat at her window, and singing one of her childish songs, a maid passed. A dancer at the royal opera by the name of Lundberg asked this maid who that little child was with the most beautiful voice she had ever heard. The maid toM her, and the "danseuse" called and asked the mother, to have her sing. She do preparing her for the stage at once, but the good mother would not listen to that. She had prejudices against the stage, but finally, through the tears of little Jenny and the Influence of a musician of some repute, Croellus by name, Count Poke, the head of the royal opera, was pre vailed upon to hear her sing. "This Is not a nursery," he said. "I do not care to hear that ugly, small, broad-nosed, shy, gauch, undergrown girl of 9 years old sing." But he did listen, and to listen was to be conquered. It was decided then and there that the child should be edu cated at the expense of the government. In the first stage of her career Jenny showed histrionic abilities of a high order, and a drama entitled "The Polish Mine" was the medium of her first Introduction to tho public at the age of 10 years. ' The extraordinary talent displayed by this child elicited the warmest eulogy from the critics. For several years we hear of her only as an actress. However, on March 7, 1838. a day which dawned in anxiety, fear and trembling for Jenny Lind, she made her debut as a prima donna at the Royal Opera, Stockholm, ln the part of Agatha in "Der Frelschutz." Her success was complete. Her triumph was acclaimed by the critics, who raved over the beauty of her voice, her admir able method of production, her execution, her intense feeling and soul imparted to her music. The best of society of the Swedish capital showered favors upon her and she was queen of the hour. New operas were added to her repertoire. She took Paris by storm in Meyerbeer's ooera, "Robert." She remained in Paris to study under Garcia. Being a true artist, she did not regard thle musical atmosphere of Stock holm as other than a field of trial for her young voice. Her second appearance in Paris was a failure and disappoint ment, owing to her sensitive nature and highly nervous temperament. She felt so downcast after her failure she broke down completely at a soiree given by th* Duchesse de Dalmatle, a relative of the queen of Sweden, in trying to sing an aria from "Lucia" which she had suns forty times at Stockholm. In after year 3 she utterly refused the most flattering proposals to sing for a season In. the French capital. She then went to Berlin ln 1844, creating the leading role In a new opera of Meyerbeer's, and she met with great success and was acclaimed an nrtlst of European distinction. Then to Vienna and Leipslg, where she gave her own concert as an opening, assisted by Men delssohn, David and Clara Schumann. Afl her friends urged her to go to London. The opera there was liberally on its last legs, and it was a question of life an<l death significance to the management. II is needless to describe the enthusiasm sho raised among all classes ln London so ciety. The queen, touched by the grace Bnd modesty of the great singer, dis tinguished her in every way. A bracelet given her, the only token she would re celvi for singing at Buckingham palace, ¦was treasured by her until she died. Hav ing conquered every country but Russia — Hhe was near accepting an offer to travel there— when the most gigantic proposal ever heard of was placed before her by Earnum to come to America. A poet of the period expressed ft thus: But ln the last few months there's been a slight decline In the living alligator and anaconda line. Even Tom Thumb exhibitions are getting rather slew And my factory for whales burnt a while ago. And the mammoth boy and girl are getting rather thinned As sure as my name's Barnum I and yours Jenny Lind. I must provide the public with some new exhibition, For I hold my popularity on that express condition. So I thought of you, Miss Jenny, The Swedish nightingale. The enterprise proved a lucky one. The proceeds of the first concert exceeded his most sanguine expectations and awoke In Barnum such enthusiasm that he tore up the first contract and thrust upon his "nightingale" terms more anvantageous than those contained in the original one. The people of our United States literally J. B. POULIN MUSIC adored her. The crush to- get to her con certs Is described as terrific and even dangerous. Tickets were sold by auction frequently for six hundred dollars each. It does not seem possible, but it Is true. The year's result was enormous, and brought the fortunate artist, after making fortunes for the n.anagers, at least three million dollars. She was ac companied In her tour by Benedict Bel lettl and Otto Goldschmidt. The latter she married while on this tour In Boston In 1852. It was a love marriage and pro ductive of great ..appiness on both sides. Her supreme felicity was found after that in domestic ties. The absorbing affection of children, the enduring love of a gifted and sympathetic husband drew her away from the Interests of the concert plat form. Her husband held the position as leader of the Bach choir In London and she sang oftentimes for him, but grad ually her appearances at concerts and oratorios became rare; but her Interest ln music ceased only with life. Her life was beautiful and true. She adorned the stage and left it a legacy of purity In conduct and high alms realized. No star ever shone with whiter or more dazzling luster In. the firmament of art. Her charities were boundless. On November 2, 1887, surrounded by all her loved ones, children and grandchil dren, her calm and noble spirit passed to the great peace "beyond these voices." Her memory remains unsullied by an un worthy deed, untainted by the breath of envy. "Sweet nature gilded by tho gracious gleam Of reverence, dear to science, dear to • art." Next Sunday's article will be "Mall bran," one of the greatest singers the world has ever known, 1808-1836. The Lyric club, under the direction of J. B. Poulin, gave Its first concert of the MISS LUCY FUHRER, CELLIST WITH WOMAN'B ORCHEBTRA season last Friday evening at Simpson auditorium and despite the rainy weather the house was packed and proved a most enthusiastic audience. The club was assisted by Wenzel Kopto, violinist, and a number of members of the club. Mrs. Lemuel Selby sang "Pen elope em Gewand Wlrkend," by Bruch, ln a most pleasing manner. Her voice Is a contralto of very good quality. She deserved the hearty encore which was given her. The program last evening was Interest ing and the second number, "The Halls of the Atrlde3," by Chausson, was par ticularly well given. The "Sancto Maria," by Faure-Shelley, was sung with organ and piano accom paniment. This chorus was a very dra matic composition and waa given in good style. A very bright and dainty chorus was the "Carmena Waltz," by Wilson. The ensemble of this club is very good indeed and has made marked improve ment since Its last concert, and much praise Is due both the director and the members of this splei.dld organization. Music will be a strong feature of "The Sign of the Cross" at the Auditorium this week, and Dick Ferris has shown com mendable taste ln his selections for that Important part of a finished performance. A quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Henry (Balfour, the deMghtful soprano and tenor, with Miss Carrie Thomas as alto and George Dunwell as basso, will render the sacred hymns of the early days, while a chorus of fifty choice voices, under the baton of Prof. J. P. Dupuy, will also be heard. The ancient chants on the one hand, with the revelous music of the Roman feasters on the other, will make a strong contrast. The orchestra also will be considerably augmented, and the whole will afford an evening as strong musically as it undoubtedly will be dra matically. I congratulate Mr. Ferris on his foresight and care ln looking after this feature. -?- The woman's orchestra will present the following fine program Monday night at Simpson auditorium: Marehe Milltalre.

Carl Lanzer, famous American violin virtuoso and violin maker, has devised a method of developing violins by the use of an electric machine. A good sized electric engine runs the gear that moves the bow across the strings. The object is nothing more or less than to give a new violin in a few weeks the same me chanical amount of bowing that it would get in the ordinary course of time if it was played on for a number of years by virtuosos. There is seldom less than five violins at one time developing. Each instrument is, held so firmly that there can be no possibility rf a jar, as the electric bow is held firmly in the clutch of ; "grip." The violin bnw is made of solid steel and finest copper and silver wires, so that It can move while charged with the electric current, back and forth, bearing lightly on the violin strings and giving, to all intents and purposes, the same touch as the human arm. No one is allowed in the testing shop, as the virtuoso calls it. Lanzer comes from a family of great violin makers in which for five genera tions the male members have devoted their attention to the fashioning of stringed inscruments. Among others, is the last one made by the inventor's father, Charles Lanzer, who died two years ago and was known as the dean of violin makers in this country. J. nnzer's name is as well known ln the musical world, where his opinion Is con sidered fina', as that of the Cremona vio lin. The inventor says that what gives a violin its tone was not its actual age, not the time that had elapsed since it was made, but simply the amount of "exer cise" It got by practicing .upon It. The vibrations. It is said, are what gives the wood the softness and pliability necessary to produce a brilliant tone, and a violin, if it has la:n untouched for years, does not Improve ln tone at all. Whether Lanzer will now push his novel invention and endeavor to put on tho New York market, placing new vio lins treated by the electric process in competition with the old Cremonas, is not yet known. The invention has proved a great success, and it will always be kept a secret in the Lanzer family, just as they had kept their violin varnish in vention a aecret these past fifty-five years. Lanzer also claims the honor of being the first American violinist, and will play during the coming spring ln London and other cities of Europe, under the management of Rudolph Aronson of New York, to toncertize and play the mo..t popular melodies and national songs of all the different countries, using the In strument that has become famous In musical eirples and is known as the Lanzer vlolinola, being a combination of tone of vloli.. and viola. It Is the largest size model in thn world. lancer's first teacher was his father, and after short study was placed under the care of the venerable master, Edward Mollenhauer. It is Interesting to note that Lanzer will make his home In Los Angeles In the near tuture, before going on his European tour. There ara but two bands in America who are In the habit of playing to stand- Ing room only: the American favorite Sousa's organization and the far-famed organization, the Kilties. There Is something attractive about the latter organization. The Kilties are unique not only ln dress, which Is full Highland regimentals, but in their rendi tion of music. A choir of sixteen male voices accompanies the band, singing the ballads that have made Scotland famous, while with them is Anglus McMllllan Frasler, the American champion bagpiper, heading a company of bagpipers, sword dancers, hornpipe and highland fling dancers Mr. Frasier plays and dances at every performance and the program with the regular band music, consisting of high class and popular selections, the well trained choir, the giant drum major, tho company of dancers, takes on the nature of a theatrical as well as a musical enter tainment. The popularity of this famous band Is based upon the management's ap preciation of what the people really want. The soldier numbers and martial airs add much to the vigor of the program. Albert Cook, the director. Is a striking example of a man "who not only knows music. but can impart to those under him his Ideas of how compositions should b» played, and as every man in the band is an artist, individually working for the success of the whole, nothing but praise has been heard for this organization. This famous Canadian organization ln eight years has appeared on three con tinents and in seven different countries. Twice by command before tho king of Great Britain and an entire week at the pleasure of President Diaz of Mexico. Four recitals will be given in Los Angeles at Simpson auditorium, two night con certs on December 12 and 13. and two afternoo". concerts December 12 and 14. #¦ The capricious, volatile, fascinating an-J ever delightful Mme. Emma Calve, great singer and greater actress, will ne heard In this city for one concert only, on Tuesday, December 17, when . she will sing nt the new Shrine temple, accom panied by the concert company of un usual excellence. No other singer now appearing before the public has such a hold upon the popu lar heart as has Calve. This Is because of the rarely sympathetic quality of her voice, which constantly vibrates with emotion and deep seated feeling. In her concert ln this city she will be heard ln at least one sellection of "Carmen," the opera in which she won her greatest fame. Into her delineation of the role of the Spanish cigarette girl she infuses a note of reckless abandon and passionate order which make it not only a great operatic triumph, but a masterly piece of imaginative acting as well. Even in con cert the dramatic side of her person ality creeps out and the imaginative listener finds himself forgetting that she Is attired In the conventional evening costume of the north and sees her In the picturesque peasant garb of old Spain. The new Shrine temple in which Mme. Calve will sing Is one of the finest audi toriums In the United States. Despite Its great size and large seating capacity Its acoustic properties are about as perfect as possible. Mme. Calves personal rep sentatlve, who was In the city during the past week, declared that in his opin ion the building will make one of tfie finest concert halls In the United States. Accompanying Mme. Calve on her present tour are two European artists of great talent. These are Mile. Renee Chemet, a French violinist or rare beauty, wh-i combines unusual technical skill with ex quisite feeling, and M. Camille Decreu.i, the widely known pianist. MESSAGE'S KEYNOTE IS GOLDEN RULE "Common Problems of Life Dealt with Directly," Declares Attorney In Address Before City Club Declaring that President Roosevelt by his recent acts had done more for the moral fiber of the republic than any one else, Attorney Thomas E. Gibbon an alyzed the recent message to congress as a document which will live ln history yesterday at the weekly meeting of the City club at the Westminster. The prominence which the president gave to the moral aspect of public mat ters impressed Mr. Gibbon forcibly. In previous messages of presidents glittering generalities had been generally resorted to, he said. Handling the more important features of the message the speaker divided It into the interstate commerce, the Sherman anti-trust law, the Income and inheri tance taxes and the enforcement of laws. "Mr. Roosevelt takes up the commonest problems of office," he continued, "and deals with them directly in what he so aptly terms 'the square deal. 1 "His entire discussions of the relations of capital and labor and the interdepend ence of each Is simply an appeal for the exercise of the golden rule. "His discussion of the instrumentalities of Interstate commerce are among the greatest evidence of his powers of states manship and mark him as one of the ablest public men of modern times." Mr. Gibbon quoted from English and New York papers to show that the presi dent had merely labored to safeguard the Interests of the people and that the facts spoke for themselves whether Roosevelt or the wrongdoers had brought about the temporary lack of confidence which caused recent troubles in finances.
