The following is one test and may

AMBARDrS song birds are flying
north and will soon be here. They
have been in Los Angeles, and
San Bernardino, too, think, and
now are headed toward the city that
discovered one of their forlorn band
some years ago-Tetrazzini. We Will
never forget how Tetrazzini came with
a band of singers and how she opened
the gates of Italian song for u.s. There
is little hope of there being another
Tetrazzini in the present company OF
singers, but the ensembles and the ag-
gregate of talent are better and higher
this season than ever before In the
ranks of our Latin visitors. At least,
that Is the burden of the reports that
reach us.
A Los Angeles enthusiast who heard
the company there and who then trot-

Farrar, nor yet Mary Garden or di-
rector like Toscanini, his company at
many points and in several individual
singers exceIs the forces at the Metro

the direction of Agide Jacchia, EdoardO
Lebegott and Giovanni Baraveli. The
latter has charge of the chorus that

usually and auricularly more satisfy

many years chorus master and assistant
director for Toscanini. now director for

rection of Ricardo Petrovich and the
