The scientific training and manage ment of the organs of speech and song has a significant industrial value that la being more and more appre- ciated by the propressive 'people of the" world. The science of speech, which com- prises the entire field of phonetics (from the faintest whisper to the high 'list pitch of the Inspired singer) is rapidly' rising into universal recogni- tion. Nothing heretofore has so definitely pointed the way as the recent pho netlc investigations Into the organic functions as well as the acoustic ef- fects-of speech. These have greatly widened the scope of this science bj revealing principles of technique thai bring reliable and satisfactory results not only to the speaker and^ singer rbut^tofthc listener as well. The system of educational training pursued in the study of the "tech- nique of speech" and "lyric diction" reveals a method which builds accord ing to the law of constructive phonet Ics.

About ten years ago Mf. Hamilton Hopkins came to Chicago with the purpose of studying voice, knowing just what he wanted, and determined hot tp rest content until he succeeded in finding it. All hfs efforts to secure the training he sought were ineffec- tive; then he went to New York, like- wise Boston, at both places meeting with the same keen disappointment. With a firmer resolve than ever he set out for Italy, having made up his mind that he would discover,exactly what It was, how it was done, add, on his return to America, as a teacher of singing, supply the want of which lhe had been so sadly made cOnsciOBsr He studied in Italy for seven years, the pupil of Lello Casini, Titta RECOMMENDS • #i VOCfttlST ^ %SilSmH%omim welfare of_ our people and their lan- guage, to establish a system ot edu- cation in organic and acoustic phonet- ics which will Inform scientifically and reliably as to the manner of op- era) ion necessary for the best pro»*uc- tion of each sound used in our lan- guage. „ Webster says, "Nothing can X'Q more dlsrepuTabTe to the Mfemry character Of a nation than tha histiry of English orthography (spelling) un- The Maclean School.

CHICAGO visible markings which In themselves express the mechanical operation of organie phonetics^ secures a purity, regularity and uniformity of a lan- guage that was undreamed of by Web- ster. True phonetics must be taught through the organic function of speech, of which the tongue is the chief agent, in order that chance and caprice may not be allowed to play ^vee with Hie euphony, and serviceability of our language. The study of lyric diction is offer- ing the vocal profession a means of distinct enlightenment on their chosen subject. They also have had (gener- ally speaking) no guide but the ear, and therefore confusion of ideas is the natural outcome. The ear can judge, but it cannot Inform as to the manner of production. Lyric "diction teaches the scientific management of the mechanism of speech nnd song. Skillful manage- ment eliminates slipshod speech, it doubles the clarity of vowels and con- sonants and insures_ a_ definlteness of power before an audience that Is rarely experienced by the average public speaker or singer.

Having a perfectly equipped stage at the disposal of the students, numerous public appearances are pos- sible each school year, giving the stu- dents the polish which contact with audiences alone-can-give. The demand for teachers of expres- slon. teachers who can originate and stage plays, teachers who can develop voices and direct choruses, teachers who themselves can give recitals of a high Glass, is so Rreat from this school that only a very small portion of such positions can he filled by the school. This is a field in which few schools can claim a greater demand than supply, and the reason is that. this institution Is not flooding the field with inefficient graduates, but sending out only such people with its diplomas as can do the high standard of work which graduation from this school demands. All its graduates who care to do professional work are holding good positions. Ruffo's master, and acted as his ds- sistant for four years. , He spared neither expense nor trouble, and spent many sleepless nights at jflrstr-finding it impossible even to understand^what his Italian and French teachers were trying to get, much less to obtain it. At last he discovered what he claims to be the basis of the true art of sing' Ing. The secret suggests itself sim- ply by watching the way in which the Italian speaks. In itself the Italian language demands the use of the open -throat^rad gives the speaker forward resonance. The Italian street vender, selling his bananas, is a splendid illus- tration of the forward resonance in use by the speaking voice. And when The Italians sing all they do is.tb give abdominal support to this resonance, and the result Is--their singing voice. They themselves never analyze the process; with them' It is so entirely natural that they are wholly uncon- scious of what they do. Consequently an Italian is not always a euccessfn! teacher; he Is less c»Pahle of impart- ing his knowledge to others. Realizing that it remained for an American to make a thorough-going study of their methods, Mr. Hopkins did so, with significant results. In contrast with the Italian process, he findB that the English-speaking people naturally speak In their throat. But It is a difficulty which can be over- come. There can be a proper placing of the voice, though the American must begin at the bottom and dig for what the Italian comes by instinctive- ly. Ninety-seven out of every hundred American sopranos illustrate the de- fect in the American way of singing: they sing with a break in the middle register. The greatest women sing- ers, Melba, Tetrazzini and Farrar, have overcome it. It rests simply with the proper placing of the voice This must be acquired or else the singer must *verremain an amateur. The adjustment is not difficult, under proper training and with the right person to impart the methods. A few years ago American tenors sang with what may be termed "flash tones'"; now they are striving to get what Mr. Hopkins calls "bone tones"--that is. tones which are resonating. In a quartette where the other voices are properly placed the tenor who uses "flash tones" cannot be heard, on either high or low notes, _ Mr. Hopkins has returned to Amer- -iea-to-ehow what io meant by the Itol- ian tone production and to teach Americans its right use.

A visit to India and Java is the al- luring promise of Dwigjjt Elmendorf, artist and globe-trotter, when he starts his host of fellow-travelers off on their annual picture pilgrimage at Orchestra hall on Jan. 14. Mr. Elmen- dorf is a pleasant, chatty sort ot per- son to have for a guide. There Is nothing of the Baedeker about his" descriptions--no soliloquies on moun- tain tops, no apostrophes to the set ting sun. While he has the artist's keen appreciation of the beautiful in scenery, he is never grandiose. On the contrary, he has a charming naive way of telling what the people wear, what you should wear when you go, what he has to eat, and just how hot it is and how often it rains--in short, it is like an informal chat with an intimate friend. India is often given to us through the variously colored spectacles of the missionary or the archaeologist, but few travelers have attempted to record the fantastic pa- geantry Of the street scenes and the every-day life of the people. 7Ir. El- mendorf is an artist, and with the artist's sense of the picturesque, no matter how dirty or uncomfortable, he will give us an exceedingly graphic and truthful account of what it is possible to see and do, and learn by- spending nine months in these far- away fascinating lands. --The travel talks will be HERBERT MILLER BARITONE Vocal Instruction: Oratorio, Recitals 716 Fine Arts Building r Chicago The highest standard of musical art maintained.
