...exist. Like Auer, he employs simple methods, plays to his pupils a great deal, is at the same time careful not to stifle their individuality. Like Auer his dominant traits are sweetness and a gentle, kindly humor. Like Josef Hofmann, Albert Spalding, Mischa Elman, Alfred Hertz, Pablo Casals, Maria Jeritza and many another famed musician, he is a brilliant chess-player. In San Francisco he used to carry a little chessboard in his pocket. It was no unusual sight to see him take it out on a trolley car, set up a game...
Though she lost her point, Jeritza won San Francisco for her own. The audience jamming Civic Auditorium sat in rapt attention as they saw her transformed from a querulous princess intrigued by a captive prophet into a voluptuous animal crying brutally for the love, the body, the life of Jochanaan. Her Dance of the Seven Veils was lascivious, her entreaties to Herod for the prophet's head brutal and wanton.

Schnurri II, white cat that she carried to all her performances at the Metropolitan Opera last year, she left behind. She languishes, she said, for Schnurri and the other estate animals-Schnurri's summer lay of kittens; horses, police dogs, dachshund, and a little white lamb. Husband von Popper, gallant and taller than Jeritza, escorted her to San Francisco where she is to sing in a pre-season Tannh...
