the double bill presented by the Aborn

opera admirers are SO familiar with
them that it need be said only that
Helena sang the role of Santuzza in
her accustomed way. AS the faithless
lover, Turridu, Giuseppe Agostini was
effective. both with his voice and his
power of dramatic portrayal, making
the two principals stand out boldly in
a performance whose defects. if any.

while Miss Haussmann was adequate

Miss Gladys Chandler. as Hansel. and
Miss Mary Carson, as Gretel, both gave
faithful pictures Of the children in the
German fairy tale, and sang their num-
