Old Opera of Rossini's To
Be Revived at Metropolitan

General Manager Giulio Gatti- Casaz-
"a. of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany, yesterday announced the Ameri-
can premiere of "LItaliana in Algeri,"
opera-buffa in three acts and five
scenes by Gioachino Rossini, fer Fri
day evening, December 5. The cast
follows: Gabrielle Besanzoni, Isabel
la; Marie Sundelius, Elvra; Kathleen
Howard, Zulma; Charles Hackert, Lin
doro; Giuseppe de Luca, Taddeo;
Adamo Didur, Mustafa; Milo Picco,
Haly.
The opera has been rehearsed and
will be directed by Gennaro Papi The
dances have been composed and ar
ranged by Rosina CALI, who will take
part in the dances, together with Giu-
seppe Bonfiglio and the corps de ballet.
The scenery is by James Fox, Of the
Metropolitan Opera House, and Frank
Platter, from sketches by Willy Pog-
any, who has also designed the cos
tunes, which have been made by the
costume atelier of the Metropolitan,

plated for the consideration of the
isso Legislature include:
l. Health insurance, minimum wage
Tor women and children, and other
measures backed by the Women's
Joint Legislative Conference.
q. "A "dry" enforcement bill spon-
sored by the Anti-Saloon League, and
measure permitting the manufacture
and sale of beer which will have the
backing of the "wets."
3. An amendment to the direct
primary law to restore the official
state convention.
This last will depend great deal
on the attitude of Governor Smith.
Those behind similar measure last
year. who were led by Senator Charles
W. Walton. of Kingston, declared that
they had the votes to pass the meas
ure, but were unable to obtain assur-
ances from the executive chamber that
it would be signed, and therefore they
did not press it.
The "wet" and "dry" fight will be
largely battling on old familiar ground,
and how it will end is problematical
The women's organizations, opposed
to the so-called welfare legislation Of
the Women's Joint Legislative Con-
ference, are making preparations not
only to try to block all legislation which
this organization may offer, but to re-
peal the present law limiting the hours
of labor of women on streetcars and
subway and elevated trains which was
passed and signed at the last session.

tie to Amend Direct Pri-
mary Law Also i'm Sight

From the moment the 14sd annual
session of the Legislature convenes in
Albany, six weeks from Wednesday,
until the hour of final adjournment,
three or four months later, the legis-
tive mill will grind steadily. One of
the measures which is likely to come
out OF the hopper is resolution Great
ing a joint committee of the Senate
and Assembly to investigate the ad-
ministration of the City of New York
Such committee was contemplated
at the last session of the Legislature
but after informal discussions legisla-
tive leaders decided that probe of the
Hylan administration could wait an
other year in view of the need of in
quiring into housing conditions, the
activities of the "Reds" and other
larger economic problems.
A local Republican legislator who
had resolution drawn up at the last
session for the investigation of some
OF the municipal departments under
Mayor Hylan, will press this year, it
was said yesterday, for an investigation
omprehending the entire city admins
tration.
Could Cover Wide Field
An inquiry into municipal affairs by
Joint committee of the Legislature
could cover q wider field than any
grand jury, since jurys jurisdiction
would be limited by county lines. A
legislative committee, TO which would
be delegated all the powers of the
Legislature, the right to subpoena docu-
ments and witnesses, and able to sit not
only in any borough, but in any por-
ton of the state, could work for
months. 1t could turn over all evidence
dlsclosed to the proper prosecuting Of
fcers.
The recent request of the extraordi-
nary grand jury in New York County
that Governor Smith designate the
state Attorney General to aid in it's in
vestlgation into several local adminis-
tratlve departments has given impetus
TO the movement to have the Legis-
lature investigate the New York City
administration.
In presentment fled with Justice
Weeks last week the Almirall grand
jury declared it had reasonable grounds
Tor belief that public officials have
been guilty of misconduct in Office"
and advised the court that an investi-
CATION of the municipal Offices and de-
partments and of the Office Of the Dis
trlct Attorney of New York County be
initiated.
1t is not believed that the action of
the Govornor on the grand jury's re-
quest viii affect the proposed investi-
gat,on OF the local administration by
the Legislature.
