3American Girl Scores Success in France as Carmen
4Ethel Hottinger, a Chicago girl, made a brilliant debut in the title role of Carmen, at Montlucon, a city known for its severe judgment of singers. It is only a few months ago since Miss Hottinger went to France to begin her operatic career. In her case history repeated itself. As in the case of Mary Garden, who got her opportunity to prove her talent through the sudden illness of the interpreter of Louise, Miss Hottinger jumped into the breach at the eleventh hour because the artist originally engaged for the part was the victim of an accident. No one in the audience could have guessed that it was for the first time that Miss Hottinger faced the ordeal of an operatic performance, and her success was so great that at the end of the third act the audience spontaneously recalled the singer many times. Miss Hottinger has studied with Oscar Saenger at his New York studios and at his summer school in Chicago, taking private lessons with him, and was also a prominent member of his opera classes.
