WALTEK DAMKOSCH, who always
hat, the ceuingu of his convictions,
made n mvage attack en the "elaciue"
urpaldnpplauilers, which, according te,
apparently well Mibsttmtlatcd rumor,
has exNted at the Metropolitan Opera
IIeue in New Yeik for eurs. Mr.
Dainresch's address was made at the
recent dinner te Wlllem Mcngelberg
In New Yerk. The claque is nn ac
knowledged institution of certain fu fu
meus opera houses In Southern Europe
notably Italy, but what Mr. Damrosch
"viewed with alarm" was the attempt
te Introduce the custom Inte the
symphonic field, which he declared In
strong terms te be a menace.
The defence of the supporters of the
cinque is that the American audiences
are usually fnr les enthusiastic than
theso abroad ami that judiciously dis
tributed applaue encourages the
singers te better efforts and makes gen
erally for snap and spirit In the per per
fermunces. There may be mere than
a grain of truth in this, for the Italian
opera singers are accuttoraed te hearty
applause and when it Is net received
they feel that their efforts arc in vain,
n feeling which certainly does net nid
In producing successful performances.
Mr. Damrosch charged directly thut
the opera claque has been hired en cer
tain occahlens this year by guc-t con
ductors with New Yerk orchestras te
stimulate the applause of the audience
at symphony concerts. He bnid that he
feared the introduction of this cubtem
at such concerts anil he puhllrly up
pealed te Otte Kahn, who was present,
te put an
opera.
cud te this abuse at the
W
which have been mere than hinted
at from ether sources for several years,
will prebubly have no effect se far as
the opera is concerned, there is little
likelihood thut there will be any In
vasion of the symphonic field by a paid
claque. There can be only one time
during a symphony concert when a con
ductor can be applauded effectively, and
that is upon his entrance.
The performance of a symphony con
cert ls se diversified nnd se muny per-
' sons take nn important part in it that,
, outline et trie one time mentioned, ttiere
might alwujs be a reaseflaMe doubt as
.. ... .. .. ... '
'te exactlv for whom the n
meant. Ter example, whe
nnlatise was
hen Mr. Ste-
kewski signnls Mr. Henkiemnn te nc-
knowledge the applause after the Kng-
llsh heni soles in the "New World"
symphony or "The Swnn of Tuenela,"
or when he summon ether distinguished
members of the Orchestra te de like
wise, the increase in the plaudits shows
cleurly that the audience has in mind
the artuul performer ns well at the
conductor who made the reading pos
sible. In operatic work this condition der
niiDlu
he anv mistake in operas for whom the
applause Is Intended.
There can be no doubt that the cus
tom Is distinctly a foreign one, thut it
Is un-Amcrkuii and highly objection
able te an American audience. Anether
thing Is that in this country it Is wholly
unnecessary ; if u ttlngcr or a performer
has "the Reeds" the euP.enee wilt man
ifest Its uppreval ; if he habn't, he will
net last long, anyhow, se what ls the
difference? The stlinulntlon-te-bettcr-work
-by -applause argument does net
seem te carry conviction, because if the
singer knows thut this applause is being
laid for and docs net come from the
feelings of the uudlence, the "stimula
tion" cannot be verv great.
EXCESSIVE applause, especially In
enera, leads te all sorts of compli
cations. At one performance of "Ca
va' e-la Itiistleeita" here bv the Metro
politan Opera Company, net se many
seasons ado, a then new Italian tenor,
singing Turlddii received much hi

EARL WILLIAMS "THE MAN
F?M DOWNING STREET "rajj-a
the audience was one of mingled amaze
ment and amusement.
We never have been pestered with
this operatic nuisance te any extent in
Philadelphia, net even in the days when
there wus an opera company which
made Its headquarters in this city. If
there is really a claque at the Metro
politan in New Yerk (the operatic au-
I tiierltles "refused te comment upon
.Mr. Damrosch h charges) It has never
appeared in this city in numbers, al
though there have been one or two per
formances which revealed mere thun a
suspicion of a claque. Hut when
singers have te pay two dollars a head
(said te be the union rates for
claquers) and then have te pay three
times this sum te get them ever here
and back, that fact alone discourages
any but stars of the first magnitude,
nnd they get for nothing all the ap
plause they need nnd sometimes mere
thun ls geed for them.
THE real danger of a claque is that
the se-called "chef" acquires tee
much power in the practical blackmail
ing of new singers, although the Amerl-
! public is rapidly growing tee dls
criminating musically te be stamncded
Inte applause which their own judgment
tells them is unwarranted, and even
the most unsophisticated of uudlters
can tell the difference between ine
forced plaudits of a few paid men and
a spontaneous outburst such as greets
a fine piece of artistry.
In some of the foreign countries it is
an entirely different preposition. There
the uudlence demands the right te ex
press disapproval as well as approval,
and the claque is sometimes hanay te
counteract a demonstration of displeas
ure. But in, this country the IiIsh as a
token of disapproval, except iu extreme
cases, ls virtually unknown. If mem
bers of the audience feel that they can
. . . . .." .
i net conscientiously nppinuil tuey remain
silent, nnd as a result the silence or
fulnt annluuse of an American audience
Is lust as telling as the most violent
I hissing or "booing" of our European
'cousins. It all depends upon the form
of expression te which singers or actors
become accustomed. A vocal expression
of disapproval may Iks met with a
counter-demonstration by a claque, but
there ls no answer possible when an
uudlcucc refuses te applaud.
THE cinque ought te be abolished by
all tenets of common sense, but it
si nil times, and according te historians,
Xere had his personal appearance en
the stage greeted by 5000 soldiers who
chanted his praises. The French
dramatist Daurut was the first te use
the Idea in later time, and about a
century age the first claque appeared In
French theatres and in ten years it had
become u fixed institution.
The French theatrical claque ls di
vided into five different kinds of
"boosters." under a "chef." These
are the "cemmlssaires," who learn a
piece by heart and cnll the attention
of their neighbors te its geed points
between the acts: the "rleurs" who
laugh loudly at the humorous places;
the "pleureurs," usually women, who
pretend te weep nt the pathetic parts;
the "chateulllcurs," who keep the audi-
i rnce In geed humor, and tne "Dls-
teurs who simply applaud.
He, In spite of Mr. Damrosch's fears,
"claquerie" has a geed ways te go
musically, before It reaches the point
te which the French have developed it
lu the drama. American musical
audiences ure net te be led se easily,
and If any foreign conductor wants
te hire a cinque, let him; but noth
ing hut public indersement, which is
found In the box office receipts nnd
net In npplnuse, will get him a re
turn engagement.
