On the Fourth of July I was playing in Melbourne in Exhibition Hall. I planned a programme that overflowed with American music, and tacked on the national anthem for good measure as a fitting wind-up. I had noticed a soldierly-looking man …
We played Ballarat and Adelaide, where an inquisitive reporter approached me with a copy of my programme in his hand and said: “From what I have heard of your organization, it is so splendidly equipped that I should think you would play on…

During the season in Great Britain we played again in Glasgow and I gave a banquet to friends who had entertained me a great deal when I played at the Exposition there. This was my first opportunity to reciprocate. I sent out invitations t…
At the close of the Willow Grove season we left for Buffalo and opened there on June 10, 1901 for a month at the Pan American Exposition. I noticed at our first evening concert that the lights were suddenly dimmed until the grounds were sh…
I have found English audiences highly satisfactory. They are the best listeners in the world. Perhaps the music-lovers of some of your larger cities equal the English, but I do not believe they can be surpassed in that respect. Reputation-…

As a prelude to a confession I might say that I have always been extremely moderate in smoking and drinking. When I was twelve, my father treated me to a long talk on the subject of tobacco. 今まで人に話したことのないことを、これから書こう…

As I became more widely-known, a number of men began to do imitations of me － some of them clever, and some the rankest kind of burlesque. Walter Jones, a comedian with Rice's musical pieces during their stay at Manhattan Beach, was a con…
I had made no arrangements to spend my usual season at Manhattan Beach that summer, since I had expected to go to Europe, so I leased a farm up in Suffern, N. Y., and there wrote the lyrics and music of The Charlatan. It was produced in Mo…
On December 28, 1897, The Bride Elect for which I wrote libretto and music, was produced in New Haven, by Klaw and Erlanger. A number of New York critics attended that first performance. So great had been the success of El Capitan that nat…

On April 16, 1893, we gave a joint concert with Mr. Walter Damrosch's Symphony Orchestra which was billed as “the only permanent orchestra in New York.” A notice from the New York Press records: 1893年4月16日、私達は合同公演を行った。ウォ…
