Mile Bianchini- Cappelli, who appeared
as Sylvia in "zanetto" and sung
the role of Santuzza in "Cavalleria. She
has an agreeable soprano and is an act

splendidly and gave a dramatic inter-

Rusticana she had the part of Lola.
The masculine parts were taken by An

Frascona and Mile. Josephine Del Parto.
The chorus was sufficiently strong from
numerical and vocal point of view.

Maurice Grau some years ago learned
that there is only small percentage of

attempt to secure the same schedule of

fame of the distinguished Italian COM

Therefore, If Westinghouse failed to
respond as literally to the inducements

the familiar "Cavalleria Rusticana,'' as
was expected. the conditions just stated

The single novelty of the afternoon

half dozen or so of little operas that
Mascagni wrote with lightning rapidity

"Zanetto" is a one-act affair, and is

MALLORY ATTACKS SHIP BILL
Florida Senator Finds No Excuse for
PropoSed Bounty

Washington, March 12.-For several
hours yesterday the senate had the
ship subsidy bill under consideration.
Mallory (Fla.) made an extended
speech in opposition to the measure.
He analyzed the bill carefully and held
that there was no good reason for it's
enactment into law, saying he believed
1t would not accomplish the results
hoped for it by it's promoters. His
opposition was based chiefly on the
ground that it would extend the favor
of the United States treasury to pri-
yate individuals and corporations with
out a just return for the expenditure.
Prior to consideration of the sub
sidy measure lively debate occurred
over an effort on the part of Berry
(Ark.) to ascertain when the commit
tee on privileges and elections might
be expected to report to the senate
the resolution providing for the cleo
ton OF senators by the direct vote of
the people.
Hoar (Mass.) indicated his vigorous
opposition to such a resolution on the
ground that it would subvert the prin-
ciples upon which the senate was
founded.
