Toscanini to Succeed
Campanini, Is Report
Former Metropolitan Conductor
May Take Charge of
Chicago Opera

Arturo Toscanini will take charge of
the Chicago Opera Association as sue
cessor Of the late Cleofonte Campanini,
according to reports circulated here
yesterday.
Inquiry at the Eastern Office of the
opera company here did not reveal any
official confirmation of the appointment
of the former chief conductor of the
Metropolitan Opera Company. John
Brown, head of the Chicago Opera AS
sociation's local office, said he had re-
ceived no such information
~ should be only too happy to tell
you about the appointment of Signor
Toscanni if l knew anything about it" "
he said. ~ hope it's true" he added
From the opera season of 19O9-'O9
until near the end of the ><914-15 sea-
son, Signor Toscanini was the chief
conductor at the Metropolitan Opera
House. Rumors that he would not
renew his contract with the Metropoli-
tan Opera Company were heard in 1915,
and in the spring of that year he laid
down the baton and went to Italy on
account of his health. Later in the
year, it was announced that he would
not return to the Metropolitan. 1t was
said at the time that his decision to
remain in Italy was prompted by the
war. His son had enlisted in the army
and he himself was busy with war

ssManOn Lescaut'' Well
Sung at Metropolitan
Nine. Alba and Pasquale Amato
Aid in Making Perform
ance ENJOYABLE
ance ENJOYABLE

1t was Puccini's "Manon Lescaut"
which was given last night at the Met
ropolitan Opera House. Later in the
season we are to have Massenet's work
on the same theme, a work infinitely
more French and truer to the story
and the epoch. Yet the Puccni opera
is often melodically inspired and is
always spontaneous and sincere. In
it is in embryo and at times in full
bloom all the inspiration of "Bo-
heme," "Tosca" and "Butteray." If
Puccini has ever touched the heights
of genius he touched it in "Manon
Lescaut." 1t is deserving of a perfect
presentation.
1t would be idle to state that it re-
ceived such a representation last night,
Nine. Frances Aida is always excellent
as Manon, and she sings the music
we'll; Pasquale Amato gives an artistic
impersonation of Lescaut; Mr. Segu-
rola, Mr.. Bada and Mr.. D'Angelo
are admirable in their small parts, and
Miss Frances Ingram sang the meas
ures of the musician with legato and
warm tone.
But, after all, a "Manon Lescaut"
without a Des Grieux can scarcely be
called successful. Guilio Crimi did
his best. but his best was not very
good, despite the splendid voice that
nature gave him.

Tribune Family Dinner
To Be Record Event
Several Hundred of Past and
Present Employees Will At
tend Affair on January IL

Former Tribune employees, now
members of practically every profess
sion and many walks in life, will par
ticipate for the first time in the Trib-
une Family Dinner, to be given on
Saturday, January II. at the Hotel Bit
more.
A preliminary canvass by commit
tee representing the Tribune Family
revealed the fact the men who. in
years past, have converted New York
life into Tribune copy have become
financiers, lawyers, corporation heads
and figures otherwise active IN the af-
fairs Of the city and nation.
Acceptances received thus far indi-
cate that the homecoming Of the old
members of the Tribune Family will
compel the Biltmore chef to provide a
larger banquet board than has been
used in that institution since its open
ing. But the varied activities of for
mer Tribunites has made it impossible
to communicate with more than
small percentage of their number by
mail. Because of this, such of them
as are not reached by the committee
are being called upon to communicate
with the family secretary. Fred B.
Pitney, at The Tribune Office
One of the important pieces of bust
ness to be transacted at the banquet
Will be the organization of the Tribune
Family into a permanent body 1t is
expected that the total of charter mem
bers will approach FIVE hundred.

Healer Hickson Asserts
Work Is Big Success
Finds Country Much Interested
in the Restoration of
Spiritual Cures

James Moore Hickson, spiritual
healer of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, returned to New York City
yesterday pleased with the result of
his efforts in various parts of the
country to arouse interest In the restor-
alton of spiritual healing along apos-
tolic lines, as part of the work of the
Church. Mr.. Hickson will remain here
few days, when he will resume his
itinerary. The trip will keep him busy
until June. Next October he expects
to leave for India, to take up mission
ary work in the Far East. He expects
to complete his mission in the HOLY
Land, after visiting Egypt, Japan,
China, Russia and other countries.
The response to my mission was far
beyond expectations" said Mr. Hick-
son. II turned hundreds of persons
away, because it was physically i'm
possible to minister to them. At Buff
falo, people began to assemble shortly
after 6 o'clock in the morning for the
10 o'clock service. At Albany, the
cathedral was crowded. IN Baltimore
l was given a particularly gratifying
reception.
ut was pathetic to see men of all
classes and degree come, with tears
streaming down their faces, bringing
loved ones who had been pronounced
incurable. always took the children
first, treating many who had suffered
from infantile paralysis.
Besides obtaining good results, I
also found doctors, nurses and others
most sympathetic and friendly toward
my work. At Saranac Lake, I con-
ferred with number Of doctors and
nurses with whom I have worked.
They realize that what l do is entirely
IN harmony with their work, the diff
ference being in the means used.
"Following my visit. many parishes
have formed circles to pray for the
sick and suffering. The faith that my
audiences showed makes me feel sure
that this is a great movement of the
spirit and not of man, and that re-
Agion is fact and not sentiment"
in the last two weeks, Mr.. Hickson
was in Pennsylvania and Maryland,
spending four days in Baltimore; two
IN Williamsport, Pa; two in Harris
burg; two in Erie, and nearly a week
IN Pittsburgh.

Bodanzky Presents
Russian Music in
Symphony Concert
One of Three Numbers Is
Novelty; Variations for
Orc estra by Stein
berg Are Well Liked

Arturo Bodanzy chose an all-Rus-
sian program for yesterday afternoon
concert of the New symphony Or
chestra. There were only three num-
bers, but one Of them was a novelty.
Macmillan Ossisevich Steinberg is a
young Russian who as late as 1918 was
professor OF Instrumentation at the
Petrograd Conservatory. A footnote
in Mr.. Lawrence Gilman's program
notes makes the announcement that it
is understood Steinberg has since
died. but that there has been no con-
tlrmatlon of the report. 1t is to be
hoped that there never will be any.
for his Variations for Orchestra show
him TO be a musician Of real promise.
The theme is graceful, the variations
are filed with color and variety of
mood. The composition was written rs
far back as 1905, when Steinberg Was
only seventeen. and. though there is IN
it nothing revolutionary either in me- =
ter or manner. it is so fresh and spoi
taneous in spirit that it is altogether
delightful Mr. Bodanzky conducted +,
connniore.
The solo artist of the afternoon was
Sergei RachmaninoF. who played h.
own Piano Concerto No. / with the re-
vised version which he first gave in
New York last January with the Rus
sian Symphony Orchestra. While the
concerto, even in its revised version. is
by no means the equal of his later
work, it is spontaneous in its spirit
and possesses not little charm. Mr..
Rachmaninoff gave it a brilliant per-
formance and Nv Bodanzky provided
most sympathetic accompaniment.
The concluding number was Rimsky-
Korsakoff's The Tale of the Tsar Sui
tan" which suffered somewhat from
certain cruditv OF tone on the part OF
the band, but which Mr.. Bodonzlay
gave none the less with spirit.

hopes, the ironic RACES of bafled men,
the uncomfortable ennui Of defeat-and
given them unforgettable groupings
and rhythms. He has recreated with
sure feeling and deep emotional intel
ligence the lust and longings and
hopes of q group of outcasts.
These Yiddish players have affected
a faint copy Of the settings of the
Moscow Art Theater production. But
they have grotesquely misconceived
the whole mood of the play. The
amazing result is that "a Nights Lodg-
ing" is presented in the spirit of low
comedy Maurice Schwartz, the pro-
ducer. himself plays the mystical fig
ure of Luka, the old tramp, in low
comedy hump and a low-comedy fall
setto voice. There is a good deal of
robust knockabout and much shrewish
shrilling and an entire good-humored
willingness to slight over anything un-
pleasant in the play. Those who de-
plore the gloominess Of Russian plays
can see the gloom considerably light
ered here. The production has, curl
ously, the unseemly effect of piece
of classical music jazzed.
But-and this is the noteworthy
thing about the whole production
there was an audience that filled the
house from pit to dome and overflowed
confirmation in the numbers in which
the audience turned out that "A
Nights Lodging" is one of the most
popular plays in any European roper
tories and an indication that a series
of evening performances of the Eng
lish version would meet with q hearty
rasnOnse

open mind on the subject, but had
not yet been convinced of the pos

those who have died.
He also said he was an admirer
