In this opera. amid it's rattle of drums and roll

soldiers its praying women and its tragic. brutal
love theme-Anita does murder to try to win her
sweetheart-there is small chance enough for

men which Calve considers humorous She is
driven by stress of the action and the onrush Of
the music to seriousness to sincerity. Vocally last
night there was shrilness in some OF her high
notes and uncertainty in Others but there was sin
cerity in her singing. well as in her acting.
which denoted realization of her duty to the

show Of ingratitude This performance of La

her former prestige and to wind up Mr.. Hammer

the public and capitally done.
The performance of "Pagliacci' which preceded
enlisted the usual cast. plus Maud, the mule, who
focused the attention OF the audience for a full
three minutes by sitting down on the stage and
refusing to bulge. She had to be dragged out by
five strong men OF the chorus
