A GRAND DUKE GIVES MADAME AN ANIMAL Life Story of Schumann-Heink Reflects the True Spirit of This Wonderful Woman and Artist. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN NAME ten of the most famous women of our day and I believe that most lists would include the name of Madame Schumann-Heink. The world has been waiting for the true story of this great artist’s life and now we have it under the title of “Schumann-Heink, the Last of the Titans.” Madame, herself, told it to Mary Lawton and the writer has been wise to capture the exact expressions of the singer. It is published by the Macmillan Company of New York, and sells for $5.00.

As great as has been and is the life of Schumann-Heink, I think her life story as written by Miss Lawton is really the history of music in Europe as it replates to the life of this singer. And the charm of the book is that Miss Lawton has caught the spirit and the expressions of Madame. I remember several years ago when Schumann-Heink was here to sing under the booking of Ona B. Talbott that I called upon the singer and we had a wonderful visit. Even at that time she told me that her one thought was of the soldier boys in the World war. She told me with tears in he eyes that told me with tears in her eyes that letters from the soldiers placed in a pillow that her head might rest upon their messages. I know that I cried when she told me that during my visit to her suite at the Claypool and I know that I cried honest tears when I read it in the book. Madame Schumann-Heink In talking to you has the habit of being a mimic and when she tells you about a character, she just acts it out. And Miss Lawton has permitted Madame to ‘act out” many of the great people she met in this country and Europe. It remained for the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, during the yearly musical festival in Schwerin many years ago, to introduce Schuman-Heink to lobsters, the table variety. Madame was invited to a swell feed after the festival and the Grand Duke watched her carefully when she tackled in a funny way the lobster. As Madame tells Miss Lawton: “But when the lobster was brought in and put in front of my place, I stopped talking, I can tell you, and I suppose I must have shown surprise, for I had never seen a lobster before. The Grand Duke, who was watching me, saw my look, and saw me begin my desperate struggles with a knife and a fork to crack and break off a piece of that tough, hard shell. Then he leaned forward and said: “Shall I not help a little?” He was very amused, and I said: “Oh, yes, Your Highness, I really wish you would, for I’m very hungry and I never saw such an animal as this before.” And then, according to Madame, the Grand Duke passed his own plate to her, the lobster having been prepared. This is just one human touch to the story of the life of this great woman. The book reads just ao Schumann-Heink talks. And that is a great accomplishment I never realized before that Schumann-Heink had such a ter-

rible struggle, not only to get started studying music but getting into opera. And while she tells you of this bitter struggle with poverty and ambition, you meet many of the great people who have made music great. Her advice to young singers is so sincere and worthwhile hat every person who is seriously considering being a singer, should read this book. And I think that if every person in this country would read this book we would have a better and a bigger understanding public, both toward life and music. This story of the life of a woman is not stale. It is full of life. Here is one biography that is a best seller. The whole world will love this book, just as they do Mme. Schu-mann-Heink in real life. I was wrong last night in The Times when I stated that the engagement of “At Mrs. Beam’s” was to start last night at the Playhouse. The Little Theatre opens this play tonight. I am sorry if I caused anybody to go to the Playhouse last night. Other theaters today offer: “The Desert Song,” at English’s; vaudeville, at the Lyric; Charlie Davis, at the Indiana; “Outcast,” at the Circle; “The Midnight Taxi,” at the Apollo; “The Awakening,” at the Palace; “The Lion and the Mouse,” at the Granada; “Social Maids,” at the Mutual, and Buddy Kane at the Colonial. “Naughty Marietta” is on view at the Murat today.
