AMERICA LIBERAL PATRON OF DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL ART Declares Mizzi Hajos, the Prima Donna This Coun-! try Golden Mecca of Euro-: pean Librettists and Com posers. "Americans are too prone to say th.v a nation they are not artistic. Per haps they believe It But I myself am Inclined to believe that, in denying a vui high sense of the artistic Amerlcan. siander themselves." Thus declared MIzzl Hajos, who plays the name part in "Sari," the Hungarian operetta composed by Emmerich Kal man, which comes to the Forrest Theatre Monday night. Henry W. Savage is the producer of this operetta, which has been called "the successor to "The Merry Widow." " Miss Hajos was speaking of Mr. Kal man, who as a mere boy has attained International celebrity through "Sari." The composer and tho actress are close friends, both Hungarians, and when Miss Hajos was abroad lost summer she met the young musician frequently. "It may be new for Americans to know," said Miss Hajos, "that every for eign composer cherishes as his fondest ambition the hope that he will one day write a score that will make a hit In this country. Composers, like all others, are looking for the financial aa well as the artistic reward, and they seem to feel that this is the country that will yield the gold. They have the formula all worked out. Their plan Is to write an other operetta that will be a second 'Sari' or 'Merry Widow,' have it catoh on big In Europe, and then, after Its European reputation Is established, have an Ameri can production and, of course popularity, and get rich from It The young com posers whom I met last summer In Vienna, Budapest, Parts and Berlin all seemed to hope along the one line. They all entertained the same Idea of what was necessary In the way of procedure first the European hit then the American success. "I had my tittle say at these muslo talks In Europe last summer. 'Why, I argued, 'not send om of your good things to America direct and have them produced there flrstr Oh, they couldn't see that at all They were very aure America would not accpt anything unless It had the stamp of European ap proval. Well, that's Just where they were wrong, and I told them so. The rvery fact that a big European success I , goes big In America is proof of discerning i I taste and good Judgment over here. It i shows that Americans know a good thing j f when It comes to them. The European j J success has been tried out and proven i over there. The failures don't last j Then, when something la succesful In J Europe, It can last only a comparatively abort time on the Continent because the 1 runs are not Icng. London Is an excep tion. Then they coma to America, and , thar have New Tork and other bis; cities : for long runs, and tho rest of the entire continent for longer time, so that their MfNMn,Mnn,iramMiimMmlniHanii,HM,Niiiiiiii,ilH a BROADWAY Advanced Broad and Vaudeville Snyder Ave. Anniversary Week Gigantic Bill AH Star Feature Acts Bert Leslie & Co.

But tho very faat that successes of this character go over this country repeatedly, and are as popular In Philadelphia. St Louis and San Francisco as in Now Tork, shows the very general national approbation of worthy things In nn art way. Naturally, I am speaking now specifically in tho field of muslo. "The musicians over there had their answer to my reasoning. It was that In by far the greater number of Instances the big musical successes In this country had been Importations, and not of native manufacture. " 'Ah, but wait a few years, I pointed out 'Just wait until Americans are not so buBy building railroads and establish ing great manufactories and creating other giant commercial industries. Walt until there is a generation that Instead of making a lot of money and spending It liberally on art, goes In for oreatlng art.' It wfll come In a very short time. The child who discovers an unusual talent as a musician will be taken In hand for a musical training, Just as the Hungarian, German and Italian boy Is now. Tho pa rents won't always feel that they must bind the boy to some of the professions or to business. And then will come great American composers. Just as now there are gifted American writers and painters and architects.

"Muslo and color, for In stance, are too Intimately associated In such minds to make possible any hearing of a song without the visualization of a particular color. Such a person hears Caruso's voice as violet, Molba's as pink and bo on. Such examples are less numer ous and less lmportai.t than are the cases of persons who, whether they hear In colors or not, always think In colors. These persons, called 'color thinkers,' do not have any sensation of color when volcs or notes are heard, but they In variably asBoclato tomw kind of color with such things bs the day of the week, I the hour of the day, the month of the year, j the vowels, tho consonants and ao on. )intlllimM"M"tllt,IHIMltllMMM,M (,,,,,,,(, ,,!

Chaplne, the Tltlan-holred prima lonna of "The Whirl of the World," playing at the Lyric Theatre, bears out Mr, Harvey's startling philosophic theory. To be happy, says Chaplne, one should live In red wear clothing with a touch of red, live In a house with red ivall paper nnd hangings, and think In red. "When I say people should live In red," said Chaplne, laughing, as she sat tn her dressing room at the Lyric. "Is not that they Bhall live beyond their Income, as the slang term has It. I mean that red as a color must exist In their mental life. I think In termB of color. My favorlto color Is red, and I am happy. A green room, a blue room depress me. Bo do yellow, brown or block dressos. For In stance, I always var something red, or with a touch of rod. "You know that all arts are one, and that art Is life, and that the modo of ex pressing one's art may be reduced to the terms of another. Now people who live exquisitely, who know the meaning of colors, know that color Is only the music of light, that muslo Is only the color of sound, that in poetry, words hava color that If we live fully and gladly and natur ally, our moods are pitched to all the notes in the scale and harmonize with all tho colors In the prism. "Borne day we shall reach that stag at culture where each shall live In one'a cwn color and at one'a own pitch. Tho street crowds will be a kaleidoscopic symphony of colors and life will bo more exhilarating and Joyful. It will be like listening to music all the time. Of course the men will continue to dress much as they do now. Woman Is tho musical riuantlty of the race and must give llfo Its final esthetic touch."
