MUSIC LOVERS EAGERLY AWAIT APPEARANCE OF LOTTE LEHMANN

Concert and Opera Singer of World Fame to Be Heard for First Time in City Monday Honorary Member of Staatsoper. Artist. Wins Acclaim for Ability in Difficult Lieder Work: Made American Debut in Chicago. MUSIC p>troi r,i c.*- and ’a’*? ar* awaiting eagerly their op--ir •• t n r.< r> r Lotte Lehmann sing at her first Indianapolis ron ert at English s Monday night. Mme Li Um honor of bringing to a close the highly succrv: ;i .sea r,n of Mrs. Nancy Martens. :• is pkasant to watch Mme. Lehmann, concert, and opera singer, i* ponse to the interviewer she talks of careers, love, marriage, - tan food hu bands kv-scrapers and a dozen other subject*. Her blu- <■< sparkle with humor, her expressive hands mark the rmpha us of her words.

Mme Lehmann prefer to talk in Ofrman, which she with the slurring, soft accent of the Vicnnw. Just why she o>came a singer and not a channel swimmer is probably because of the fact that young girls m her circle were not supposed to seek fame beyond the quiet purlieus of art A well-brought-up fraulnn expected to charm, not challenge. Music, language--, drawing—these things they should know They might swim, of course, but only m a thoroughly unostentatious manner keeping well to the coastline. Consequently, today, Lotte Lehmann is known to fame as the shining light of song, while swimming remains her favorite sport. Asa very young girl, it was her full intention to become a poet. Not a poet of love—that was only for silly persons, she thought. Religion was the subject that gave wings to her Pegasus. Untiringly she sent her poems to the newspapers. The editors, equally untiring, sent them back until one glorious day a poem was accepted and she received a check for $2 in payment. Mme. Lehmann still writes, but more pro-e than poetry. She has finished an account of her early struggles for a career. This is now being published It is inspiring reading to the lay person as well as to the student One meets therein the indomitable courage and the single purpose of all successful lives. Once she had made the decision to become a singer, there was onlv one course to pursue—one aim to attain. Trwfav. as honorary member of the Vienna Staatsoper, Mme. Lehmann

'Roberta/ Boasting Record of Nearly Year in New York Will Open in City Tuesday Company Includes 80 Persons: Three Cars Required tor Moving Props. Scenery and Electrical Effects: Two Hours Needed for Setting Up. YY THEN Roberta.' the Jerome Kern-Otto Harbach musical comedy is VV presented in English's next Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday nights, with a Wednesday matinee, there will bo just two more persons in the east than were in it when it was given in the New Amsterdam Theater. New York, last season where it had a run of nearly a full year. Consequently, the company comes here intact, with but two changes of any importance in its personnel. These are represented by Marty May and Odette Myrtil. the latter having been appointed to her present role during the New York run.

When the manager of "Roberta" makes arrangements for the transportation of the show, the company is making a transcontinental tour, he purchases 80 railroad tickets, for that is the exact number of persons in the company. That does not mean that there are that many actors who will appear in its presentation, though there are 20-odd singing and speaking voices, and a numerous ensemble; but it includes actors, musicians and stage crew. In addition to this personnel there is a physical production w T hich fills three 70-foot baggage cars. That is. on each move of the ‘ Roberta" company, provision must be made for three baggage cars to carry props, scenery and electrical effects. When the company does not make a sleeper move, it is given three regular coaches, making six cars in all for the company and equipment. If the move is at night, and this is frequently necessary, even on a short jump, as it takes tw'o hours "to hang" the show', that is. set it up for the performance, and often the work of the crew begins at 7 a. m., the company commissions four sleeping cars in addition to the necessary' baggage cars. Thirteen transfer wagons are required to haul the production from stations to theaters.

Second 'Varletles , Will Be Presented Second edition of ‘ Metropolitan Varieties” is announced by the choir of the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church for 8:15 Friday. March 8, in the Recreation Hall. Last year's performance was a "sell out" and following the many requests it has become an annual event. A playlet, dancing and singing of various old songs in which the audience will be given an opportune v to participate are some of the high spots this year. "A Bicycle Built for Two.” "The Miller’s Wooing" and "Tom Tom. the Peiper’s Son" should arouse interest. Then the ‘‘Old Gray Mare’’ will make a personal appearance and some boys will "Take Nellie Home.” Just to show the versatility of the choir the sextet from "Lucia di Lammermoor” will be sung. Roland Rapier, basso, and Eddie Hittle, tenor, will augment the quartet and the entire ensemble will sing.
