The return Of Nine Maria Barrrien-

politan Opera House was signalizcd
last night by the first performance
THIS season Of "Riggoletto," the ap-
pearance of Mr. Charles (no longer
Carlo) Hackett in the character IF the
Duke and the presence of an audi
ence which, helped by the atmospheric
conditions in the theatre, was almost
literally suffocating. There were no
new revelations in the quality Of the
prima donna's voice or art. She was
as little spontaneous as ever and put
check on the admiration which the
audience was obviously eager to pay
TO her voice and skill by the too OBJ
vious preparation made for every tone

notice by the unusually deliberate
tempo of the air 'C'aronome."

Garland Pays Tribute
Hamlin Garland, novelist, drama
tist member of American Academy
of Arts and Letters, says:
James Russell Lowell in his essay
.On Certain Condescension in
Foreigners stated his youthful re-
sentiment Of very natural feeling on
the part of the Old World America
had not then proved herself either in
letters or war, and England's attitude
was perfectly proper at that time. We
didn't think so then, but some of us
admit it now We hadn't done much
IN anything except in the way of
pioneering and railroad building.
We stand in different case to-day
and England is more than ready to
acknowledge the fact We have made
a record not only in battle, but in
finance, in art We are grown-up
nation and not province. We are
IN the world contending for the rights
of republics. For good or i'll we are
IN the broad currents Of history. and
1t IS Of utmost importance that the
solidarity of the English speaking
peoples should be established. Our
llteratures and our laws are akin and
it is the noble duty of the Academy
OF Arts and Letters to foster closer
union, a friendlier understanding
among the writer's of England, Can
ada, Australia, New Zealand and the
United States of America.
"There should be constant inter
change of thought and feeling among
these countries. The academy does
we'll to act as host to the distinguished
men from abroad, There is no surel
way to foster friendship. Our soldiers
have made the men of the Allied armies
their debtors and the fields of many
lands are prepared for a harvest OF
enduring good will. Nothing should
stand in the way of this garnering.
Lowell represents fine and sym
pathetic understanding Of England one
which was never apologetic or boastful
1t is especially appropriate that his
birthday should be the date of dinner
at which the repre- of Eng.
lish and Canadian authorship and
scholarship are to sit at meat with
those who represent not merely Lowell
but Whitman and Lincoln"

Hope Fades i'm
Brooklyn for
W ar Memorial
Two Community Bodies Plan
Independent Monuments
to Their Returning Heroes
Central Board Dwindles
3 More designations Reach
Delaney; Six Are Women;
Flatbush Leads Rebellion

Latest Developments arising out of
the growing antagonism toward the
Hearst-Hylan controlled Victory cele-
bration committee of Brooklyn indicate
that it is doubtful if the contemplated
erection in. that borough of a memorial
monument by q united citizenry will be
realiezd
The movement, it was learned. is
gradually breaking up into series of
community welcome programmes, two
Of which were brought to light yester-
day. The chaotic conditions surround
ing the welcome committee were still
further aggravated by additional res
ignations yesterday and the disclosures
that thousands Of dollars have already
been lost to the Brooklyn project
through contributions to the memorial
in Manhattan.
The hopeless outlook for results
from the present central body, of which
preventative John J. Delaney is now
chairman, is ascribed as the reason for
the Independent efforts of two new
groups in the borough, the Fiske Ter
race Association, of Flatbush, and a
body Of citizens of lower Flatbush and
Coney Island.
To Erect Community Monument
Mrs Clarence V. Waterman, for
mer honorary vice-president of the
Brooklyn Victory Celebration Commit
tee, who resigned because of Hcarsts
connection with it and who is now
chairman Of the Fiskc Terrace Memorial
Committee said yesterday:
"It is our purpose to raise funds tor
the erection of a memorial to the resi-
dents of our section who entered the
service. Our organization had original
ly appointed a committee Of five to con-
slider the project, but we were not very
active because of the efforts being made
for the same purpose by the central cele-
bration committee. Now that the latter
proie is so uncertain we propose inn
mediately to enlarge our local commit
tee and push our plans for a local mon
ument.
The Flatbush- -Coney Island group is
headed by United States Attorney Mel
vile ]. France, who is still on the gen
eral committee of he Hearst welcome
organizations He explained yesterday
that he has not yet resigned from that
body because he had accepted member
ship with five others whose names had
been sent in by the Kings Highway
Board Of Trade
He said that he plans to take no ac-
ton until the board itself will consider
what steps to take at its next meeting
on the first Monday in March. The
plans advanced by Mr.. Frances organ
ization call for memorial at the foot
of the Ocean Parkway costing $4,000.
Eight More designations
The general disgust with the circum-
stances surrounding the welcome body
because of the Hearst-Hylan domina-
tion prompted eight more designations
yesterday. One of these came from
the members Of the Brooklyn Colony of
the National Society of New England
Women. Mrs. Onslow Allen Gordon
who heads the society, gave Hearst's
"evident control of the committee" as
the reason for the Withdrawal of her
self and associates The resignation
