me object of the interview was TO
ascertain why Miss Reynolds. who IS

was IF YOU desire the establishment
Of American opera, why the name
Ralnold; wasn't Reynolds good
enough"
Tells How II Happened.
"Miss Reynolds conducted her own
defense In Italy they cannot say
Raynolds. as we do here. Everything
has an ending syllable, so that Ray
nolds becomes in their hands Raj

1.-THE two girls are great tflehus'
and have always been since they first
met at Milan, Italy. where both were
studying. 1t is quite a coincidence
that after these several years OF
study (both went abroad when they
were children) they should be
brought together again for thelr
American debut and appear IN me
