When Gatti-Casazza. Of the Metro

received visitor who came to him
to ask for advice He said that he
was about to enter upon a career as
an impresario and would like a few
points" from his good friend Gatti-
Casazza, who had had so much ex-
perience.
Il told him." said Gatti. "that he
needed three things if he was to be
successful: The first, patience--un-
limited patience-then order and--a
tenor. With these three, he would
conquer -
Now there is good deal Of philos-
ophy in this. Anyone who knows the
operatic world, the artistic tempera-
ment, realizes how necessary it is for
an impresario 10 have unlimited
patience, how necessary it. is, too. to
have order. not only inside the house
but outside. And finally, that the
drawing card is. after all. the tenor.
for tits the women who not only go
to the opera but bring the men with
them. What would opera he with

certainly what would opera be with

TROPICAL OPERA GIVEN
BY ARTISTS IN FURS
Alessandro Dolci Describes Per.
formance That Overcame
Difficulties.

Alessandro Dolci, the exuberant
leading dramatic tenor Of the Chicago
Opera Association, has an interesting
story to relate concerning the pre-
liminary tour of the company this
fall
The arrival of the company at Lit
tie Rock. Ark, was somewhat delay
ed and the performance of Aida"
which was to be given at the Liberty
Theater, some nine miles out of the
city, at the scheduled hour Of SIS in
the evening, did not commence until
1918. owing to the delay in the trans
portation of the scenery.
The evening was freezing cold. AS
is well known. the scene of the opera
is laid in the torrid Egyptiap valley
where overcoats are taboo, but so
cold was not only the theater but the
stage as well, that Radames (DolcD
and Aida (Raisa) had to wear their
furs, which were wrapped closely
around their throats.
-, Habitual opera goers can easily pic
ture the Tomb scene" where Rada-
mes and Aida sing their farewells
heavily bundled up in fur coats and
Scarfs.
The performance lasted until
o'clock in the morning. and the au-
iience stayed through the entire with
evident enjoyment.

sees a woman and a singer weep
heartily at the death of another wom-

than the thing itself.
Asked whether she will appear in
opera, Nine. Tetrazzini said emphati-
cally, "No.' The fatigue of travelling,
the incessant demands of opera have
disposed her in favor of concert "It

" would be IL the Army OF the De
partment of the Rhine could march
TO it's own song. Rouget de TIsle set
about the task and composed on the
spot a military song which he called
Chant de guerre rarmee de Rhin.T
True Origin of Song
This is the true origin of the Mar
seillaise" Rouget de rIsle simply
composed a special military song for
the army corps to which he belonged
and his composition was in no way
affiliated with the French Revolution.
Moreover, Rouget himself did not
'sympathize with the. revolution, on
several occasions expressing disap-
proval of the execution. of King Louis
XVI, though he never dabbied in poll
ftcs and was not even given to dis
cussing political events.
Nevertheless. he became suspect and
was forced to quit the important posi-
tion he was holding as military en-
giueer- OF the Fortress Of Huningue
and TO resign his rank as captain.
This severe and unjust punishment
he suffered not from any fault of his
own, but because the revolutionists
liked his war song well enough to ap-
propriate it. When the Volunteers OF
Marsei1les attacked the Tuileries. the
palace of King Louis XVI, they
marched to the tune of Rougets com.
position and the populace of Paris
became so enthusiastic over this song
that they proclaimed 1t their ma
tiohai hymn, and as in the turmoil
they did not know of nor care for
fts author. IT was called simply La
Marseillaise."

flooding the public Libraries a swrher
in the Monthly Musical Record has
cuiIed some interesting facts.
There is, as he observes, fFesn-
ness in the music of a race practically
uninfluenced by modern industriaiism.
and in Serbia the traveller comes into
contact with people who are in what
might be called the Tolstoyan state OF
musical development. -.
The Serbians, according to this
writer, are as a race light-hearted
folk and, unlike the Bulgarians, they
do not let troubles sit heavily upon
them.
They bear the same relationship p
as regards temperament to the But
barian as yiennese does to North
German. They are an Agricultural
race. and SO it happens. that It Is
with the peasant that the music OF
the country is found.

duces US to the gosslari, or oaroS,
who chronicled the doings of the day
and sang the praises of great heroes.
Among the latter the glorious
Prince Mirko of a hundred expo

There are songs which are entirely

personages.. lore which is consecrated
to some semi-mythical voyvodel or

As in the case with all people living

There are the veele, or fluxen-

vocal nature, as is but natural, as the

and the most accessible instrument:
and the predominance of vocal music
is emphasized by the fact that the
church music, which is under Byzan-

 Commander Joerne, the prosecuting officer, said he wished to reserve the right to hear Maj John M.

The court decided that Salmond must be heard immediately
 A letter was read in court today from Admiral Benson chief of the American naval staff referring to a statement made Monday to the effect that the admiral had requested that the trial be expedited. It said:
 While it is necessary that the case be expedited owing to the magni- tude of the notoriety in which the honor of an officer and the naval ser vice are involved, the case has an in ternational character and it is impor tant not to lose any time during the working hours.

CROSS SENDING MILLION YARDS OF
 CLOTH TO BALKANS

SALONIKI, March 11-(Correspon- dence of the Associated Press. )-To meet the great need of clothing throughout the Balkan states, the American Red Cross commission to the Balkans is sending to Serbia, Ru- mania, Montenegro and Albania mil lions of yards of cloth, thousands of sewing machines, large quantities of thread, needles and buttons and hun dreds of tons of old clothing. These things will be apportioned among the countries according to the extent of destitution. The commission is also shipping large amounts of food to va rious points in the Balkans which have suffered from the German occu- patton.
 If any one of the Balkans goes unclad or unfed," said Lieut.. Col. Henry w. Anderson, director of Red Cross activities in the near east, ''it will be only because We lack the trans portation facilities to reach the re- moter interior sections. We have gaun- cred up millions of pieces of clothing and thousands of tons of food from every nook and corner of Europe and will rush them to those sections of the Balkan states which are most in need.
 We have taken over the surplus stocks of relief supplies held by the American Red Cross commission to Italy. We have also had diverted to our use, for distribution in the Balkan peninsula, large quantities of material intended for use in France and other countries during the war. One of the principal items is condensed milk, of which we are shipping more than 3,000,000 cans. This doubtless will save thousands of starving children. ?

TRIAL OF ALLEGED LEADERS OF MEXICAN
 REVOLT GOES TO JURY
Testimony Shows Arrest of Band Saved Them From
 Death Across Border
tBy Review Leased Wirel

FL PASO, April 16.-FollOwing day of grilling cross examination by government attorneys of Col. F'reder- ico Cervantes, alleged leader of the military expedition which the govern ment claimed was set on foot to in wade Mexico, the trial of Colonel Ger vantes, Rafael Iturbide, Manuel Icaza Fernando Liceaga and eight others, closed late today and the case given to the jury.
 It developed during the closing day of the trial that the arrest of these men at the Socorro, Texas, ford on the night of March IS probably saved their lives as the Mexican government troops from Juarez had planted three machine guns on the Mexican side of the ford with orders to the federal sol diers to fire on the expedition as soon as it crossed the border. Advance in formation of the alleged expedition was furnished the Mexican govern ment by Lieut.. Col Jose de la Rosa, a secret service agent among the al legged filibusters.
 During the direct examination of Colonel Cervantes today he claimed to have been going to Mexico to spread tuS DAODdFdIQd Ol lAAC --IAASeAL AADCAe~ e~- alliance, which was organized in, New York and has branches in Los Angeles, Lardedo, Brownsville, San Antonio, El Paso and other American cities. He also said Gen. Felipe Angeles, the head of the alliance, was in Mexico to make speeches in favor of the alliance and had no army at present.
 He admitted receiving message from General Angeles on March 12 saying he, Angeles, was marching south to confer with other rebel lead CTS and persuade them to subordinate themselves to the alliance as Francis co Villa had done" He said Angeles had persuaded Villa to cease killing his prisoners of war, to respect lives and properties of foreigners and that Angeles had gone to Mexico to ''civil- ize Villa which, he said, he had sue ceeded in doing.
 The government attempted to prove by a letter purported to have been written by Mrs. Angeles to General Angeles that Angeles is conducting a military campaign against the Mex ican government and that Cervantes and his followers were going to join him.
