SINGERS WARNED
SEARCH FOR FAME AT HOME ESSENTIALS FOR SUCCESS. LONDON, April 1. The Australian singer. Miss Evelyn Scotney, in an article in.the ‘Daily News,’ quotes a conversation she had in New York with the late Enrico Caruso. He said that equal factors in a singer’s fame were voice, a capacity for painstaking training, technique, personality, and luck. Miss Scotney says tho voice of an angel, without a stage presence, does not confer the faintest hope of success. “Stage presence is a most elusive quality, enabling you to carry all before you to-day, and deserting you tomorrow,” she says. “ Luck is indefinable. You must take a gambler’s chance. It is useless for colonial singers to come to London unless they have not only experience and every natural gift of the gods of song, but a measure of success behind them. Those who come to Lon.doa ipnknqjjji remain unknown.”
