Very popular with; agte $ thiiifeBii^ he captured the ,-^ie young ladies. Guess who . j admiration and loyalty of the lovers ^ Last week's picture was Clarence of music in our own COUntry. His ;;r f)6ugla8, local manager of the Pjablic first appearance in this country was Service Co. \ ^ with the Metropolitan Opera compa- -t':-" ny in New York where he ranked as the highest-paid singer in its history. Chaliapin received a larger income than the great Caruso. When we endeavor to explain, the: success of a man like Chaliapin, we cannot attribute it to genius alone. For genius may lead to failure as well as success. Something else is needed, and that "something" he had in superabundance. Early in life he learned to work hard. Born in poverty, he knew the adversities of hunger and loneliness. His first job was as cobbler's assistant,, for which he received five cents a "day. From this humble beginning, bis dauntless ambition led him on through hard work to a place in the musical world which graciously gave him, during his 'frost active years, the annual sum of a quarter of ^a million dollars. However, hard work alone does no;t explain his success. Equally important were his efforts to be himself and not somebody else. It,1* always an important event In any life when one accepts himself and decides to make the best of the talent with which he is endowed. Too many persons fail because they try to be someone other than themselves. Imitation lacks the enthusiasm of reality. When we try to imitate some other person we discount the appeal of our own originality. Chaliapin was seriously original. There was only one Chaliapin, and there never will be another. He was himself. As an actor'he literally became the character he >fras impersonating. Maude Adams' did not act the part of Portia: she was Portia. So, Chaliapin did not play the part of Mephistofeles--he was that character. It is not surprising that with this vivid sense of reality, he packed the auditoriums in which he sang. Standing room at his appearance was at a premium. He struggled to attain perfection as far as it was humanly possible. No matter how humble or unimportant the task, it had to be made free from imperfections. This fidelity to the "best" was another masterful trait which led to his unparalleled success. To only one in a generation may be given ten talents, to a small group five, perhaps, and to the majority one talent. The person with one talent cannot feach the height of the ten-talented, but the factors leading to success are the same in both. The forces which made Feodor Chaliapin's name immortal in the world of music, v« ia no way different from those which wiU help the average endowed person to achieve his goal. Work hard. 7 Be yourself.
