while l fought for my composure. And
then l realized that l must get away
for little while at least from the
sights and sounds of this terrible war.
For six months l had devoted all nv
time to singing to the wounded Tom
mics. You know there is practically
no concert work or opera in London
now. 1t stopped almost automatically
with the beginning of the war. But I
had a, regular list of hospitals where I
went every week to sing for the bows.
This l did for over six months. but
l didn't realize until I faced those
wounded men there in Cardiff how it
had told on my nerves and my strength.
and knew l must get away for little
while.
However, have very good substitute
in the person of my seventeen-year-o old
sister, who hasa glorious natural voice,
and who writes me that she goes al
most every day to sing in the hospitals.
One of my great hopes is that by my
career here in America I may be en-
abled to give her the chance which was
afforded me by a stranger who heard
me as little girl singing in the mis-
sion chapel in Cardiff and paid for my
lessons until l had made my debut"

Charles Hopkins announces that he
has secured number of new plays
for presentation by his Punch and

1t is likely that the afterLenten
season will witness one of these plays
at the Punch and Judy, while the
others are listed for early production
next autumn, not necessarily in the
Punch and Judy Theatre, however.
One or two Of the plays have been
hitherto arranged for, but have been
in process Of development, but the
greater number have been secured
within a very brief time.
The list includes "The Arabian
Nights" by Owen Davis, founded upon
the Sir Richard Burton version and
recently tried out on very elaborate
scale in Boston; "The Happy Jour
ney," by Hubert Osborne; "The Prodi-
gious Son. by Martin Brown; GLOW
