Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face r. r. With r. * Signor Gigli ir Foremost Tenor 8 (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) • D The round mellow tones of Gigli s were never more golden than on the j night he sang at the home of Dr. - John A. Harriss, in New York, before j sailing for Italy. A party of friends I had gathered in a log house, built I within a mansion on Riverside Drive, to bid him adieu. He sang as 1 have never heard a man sing before. There is no comparison for Gigli's voice, it is simply and completely Gigli, in the duet he could not resist acting wfth his whole soul and spirit. He would c lose his eyes and the tones, now soft and liquid, now strong and vigorous, seemed to vibrate with every human emotion. Attired in a cowboy suit, with spurs and kerchief, ns he appeared in that ' cabin hung with hides, furs and trophies of the hunt, he was the antithesis of Bill Hart let loose. Gigli was a real American that night, although he was born at Recanati, Italy, on the shores of the historic Adriatic Sea. This same town was also the birthplace of Leo Pardi, the famous poet of the nineteenth century. From earliest boyhood, Gigli was singing to the sea and dreaming of the day when his voice would sing above the roar of the surf. At an early age Gigli went to Rome with the thought of becoming a great singer, and made bis debut in 1915 in the opera ''Gioconda.” He sang in Monte Carlo as a scholar, but was unahle to fulfill his dream of coming , to America at that time. A big. good-natured bevy and in-j tensely populat among his associates Gigli has none of the fabled erratic temperament. Always cordial and wholsesomc. his ambition is to be a gcccl Gigli. In the Russian opera. "Andrea Chenier.” by Giorando. Gigli portrays the tangle role of the poet in the French Revolution. This last nixht. whe n he had finished, there wentears n the eyes of the audience, for

According to present plans, a dinner will be served to them free of charge, and several na ttonally bnown speakers, who will have a real message for the farmer and city man. will be on the program It will bo remembere«| that a meet ing similar to the one planned was | held here in 1912. previous to the «P ( gening of the sugar factory.

. he seemed to run the* gamut and 11 plumb tiie depths ot human emotion. Os a sturdy build, with dark eyes. 1 Gigli is a pleasing personality at ail ’ times, in a singing duet he is appar- '■ ' ently as much interested in those singing with him as he is in h's own ' work, and it is no wonder that other ' artists count it a privilege to sing with the young t* nor whose very soul I.; wrapped up in his art. for at the 1 age of thirty Gigli has been pro 1 nounced the greatest tenor of the world. A real citizen of New York. Gigli J takes a lively interest in public and civic affairs nnd enjoys his friends. "My greatest thought in singing is I to have others feel the same emotions j that I am filing. convening in tones ( what others may express in. words.” j Gigli has improved in his acting, i until he promises some day to rival i I Chaliapin in that blind of finger and actor in one individual. I “1 feel so frgn to sing in America.] * INople here seem to appreciate musii . I* for music's sake, and respond to the! feeling of music, rather than attendI »ng it only with critical ears.” This is why so many foreign artists 11 are ready to foreswear allegiance to I < their native lands —they feel that in] •I Xmetica they find the horn- !.n>d sent j mint ndngh-d with that magical] i- imalgamatic'n of humin dements — | r he new race we call America.
