Henry Meltzer, the critic, has told but lately
how the Milan influence reaches far, even to the
extent Of debating to the managers and directors
Of grand opera productions all over Europe what
singers shall be engaged for certain operas
and the favored artists must be those who are
in favor at Milan.
My experience as a prima donna in Mr. Saw
ages English production Of Puccinfs opera, The
Girl Of the Golden West" is both interesting
and important to the American musical world I
think that all American singers. and all who
aspire to careers in grand opera, should know
exactly what chance an American has in a field
virtually controlled by a clique Of Milan mana
gers and producers.
Last Spring signed a contract to sing ninety
performances OF the role Of Minnie In this opera,
having been assured by Mr.. Savage and his gen
eral manager, Mr.. Madison Corey, that as posi-
ply the only American prima donna among their
principals, / would naturally be featured to the
fullest extent, and that every condition would
be made pleasant for me. so that could give a
great performance CT the part Of the American
girl
expressed to some Of Mr.. Savages office
managers some apprehension as to what chance
an American prima donna would have with
foreign conductor who would be pretty sure to
have the traditional contempt for everything
American except money. I was told not to
worry-that this was TO be a production in Eng
lish, and that at the first sign Of discrimination
against me the italian conductor would be
shipped back to Italy forthwith-that as a mat
ter Of fact, they fully expected at the Savage
offices that this very thing would happen, and
that they were ready for them.
AS the rehearsals went on, I was compelled to
sit for long hours and listen to the mistakes Of
others, and to the near riots in which the re-
hearsals sometimes degenerated. But when I
asked for my share Of the rehearsals, I was re-
peatedly assured that did not need them-thaf
was perfect in the role-that the others needed
and must have the reheaTsais

oscar Lawler. counsel for the govern

men i'm Jail today. The question was
raised if legally convicted felons can
testify before a grand jury. and if so
whether il would invalidate the indict-
mentS found by that body.
My personal opinion would do you
no good in this question" said Law
Ter. and as To the law. there is prob
ably considerable law on it"
other lawyers said there is no doubt
about the matter, and the only reason
the McNamaras might not be called at
all is that il would do no good.
Anyone can testify before any grand
Jury" said Attorney Joseph Scott, for
the defense. but a convicted felOn,
after testifyinG before a grand jury.
could not go into court as a witness
to substantiate what he told the grand
Jury. The business of the grand jury
is to get information. and the suffic-
iencv of the information on which in
dictments are returned cannot be
raised
It was stated today that. whether
the McNamaras go before the grand
Jury or not. Ortie McManigal is sure
to go and tell his story. Men close to
the McNamaras claimed it is doubtful
even if J. e. Mcnamara will be called
before the jury to tell anything that
would implicate anyone besides him

will be eligible to apply for pardon
and J. J. may he pardoned at any

dicate that such a movement is con-
templated or is possible. The Nc
NamaraS are not going to imphcate
anyone" said one of their counsel to-
day. This view is also expressed by
officials for the state.

The knowledge Of the west and it's
resources gained by the tourist would
increase his confidence in western Sc

edge of the west will in time compel
