Woman Slain, Two
Injured i'm T a amily
Fel1d Over Children
Street Shooting Is Result
of Quarrel Between Two
Mothers Which Ended i'm
Court; Man Is Arrested

An Italian family feud led to the
killing Of a woman and the wounding
Of two men at Sxtieth Street, near
Eleventh Avenue, Brooklyn, last night.
The slain woman was Mrs. Mary Stengo,
thirty-two years old, of 1144 Sixtieth
Street, Brooklyn. Raphael Spino,
twenty-three years old, laborer, was
arrested, charged with the murder.
According to the police, the tragedy
was the elimination of a quarrel be-
tween two mothers, which had its
be"inning in a quarrel between their
children.
On Monday Mrs. Annello Spino, of
l14o Sixtieth Street, had Mrs. Stengo
in the Fifth Avenue police court on a
charge Of permitting her children to
annoy those Of Mrs. Spinc. The case
was dismissed, but the bitterness be-
tween the families increased
Last night Matteo Stengo, Mrs.
Stengo's husband, was passing 1112
Slxtleth Street, when he was accosted
by Annello S9ino, who is sixty eight
years old. The. men began an argu-
ment In the midst of it Raphael
Splno, son of Annello, approached
with drawn revolver, the police saw.
Mrs. Stengo rushed to her husbands
defense, and, it is alleged, came be-
tween the men as Raphael Spino fred.
One bullet entered the woman's neck.
Two other bullets lodged in her breast.
A fourth bullet struck Matteo Stengo
in the left wrist. He was taken to
Norwegian Hospital, as was Annello
Spino, whose abdomen was cut 1t is
not known who inflicted the knife
wounds.

Despite the records made public Mon
day by Chief Magistrate McAdoo show

general criticism. If he would Law in

THE increase in the number Of ar
rests which are shown by police records
may be due to two things. The quality
Of the liquor illicitly distilled may
cause persons drinking it to become

be taken into. consideration is that

the population and then the fact that
we have something like 215 agents to
care for the whole state. It's some Job.
We are just plugging along making all
the arrests possible"
Mr.. O'Connor said his Office had more
work to attend to than those in twenty
other states combined, His department
concerns itself with permits for the
manufacture of and trade in liquors. He
issued an order some time ago sus-
pending all further permits in an ef-
fort to check up the amount of liquor
in the state
The number of applications for per-
mits grew SO large that he was forced
to do this, he said. For every permit

new applications, so that New York had

''TPi [ liter Patter'' Is

Moderately Good Music and
William Kent Are Best

By Haywood Broun

Oliver Twist must have left large.
family. for first nights at musical shows
are invariably cluttered up with his
descendants. To our mind the best
feature of "Pitter Patter," which was
produced at the Longacre Theater last
night, was the producers evident de-
sire to have it done with In hurry.
All the Juveniles hoped on and off and
the chorus kept moving and the or
chestra leader caught the song cues
on the fly. Somebody would begin to
remark casually that there was only
one girl in the world for him or that
it looked like rain or any of the trivial
things we all say half dozen times
day and before the words were out
of his mouth another song would be
upon US.
Mostly they are brisk tunes although
few are plaintive. Generally there
seemed to be no particular reason why
they should not be sung once, but
that didn't begin to appease the house
of Twist, which kept shouting for more
SO many times that we left with
pos tive aversion for number Of songs
which never did us any harm to
speak Of.
In fact, there was a considerable
tumut for "Pitter Patter" from begin
ming to end. Perhaps it meant nothing,
for it is our impression that the piece
is no more than C minus musical
show, with moderately tuneful music
and an involved and dreary book
"Pitter Patter" is founded on the sue
cessful farce, Caught in the RAIN"
and although we never saw the original,
we are willing to hazard a guess that

Enthusiasm reigned last night at the
Manhattan Opera House, where the per
ennial twins of opera were givan a
colorful performance. In these two
little works, dear to the hearts Of Ital-
ians and to many others besides, Mr..
Gallo's company did the best work it
mas accomplished in the present sea-
son.
Miss Alice Gentle's performance at
oantuzza Is an impersonation that
would grace any opera house. The
music lay we'll within her voice, and
she sang with an unexpected wealth Of
color and shading. Her acting was su-
perbly passionate, sometimes tigerish
in ferocity. But in her intensity.
which swept all before it, and made her
for the time not an opera singer, but a
human being, there was the thrill Of
tragedy, not melodrama. Even the mu-
sical snobs, the hardened operagoers in
the gum chewing, fruit-eating, lemon
ade-drinking audience which crowded
the theater, were moved by this blazing
composite study of elemental emotions.
love, jealousy, despair and revenge, and
Joined the nolsiest standees in shouting
"Brava! brava!"
In the prologue to the second opera
Mr.. Ballester's voice filled the house
with food of velvet tone He is by
far the best male voice in the company
and he gave continuous pleasure. There
was nothing immature or experimental
about Miss Kettles Media, although
she sang the part for the first time.
Her voice has the freshness of youth
warmed by emotion and, furthermore,
it is we'll schooled. Both in her sing
ing and in her acting the young singer
revealed hitherto unsuspected dram
attic force.
The other members of the Company,
the chorus as we'll as those who ap-
pered in leading roles in both operas,
contributed spirit and dramatic intelli-
gcnce. Nor should the work Of the
orchestra and the conductors, Mr..
Merol aand Mr.. Sodera, go without
mention.
This evening the opera will be
'Gound's Faust" with Nine. Mar
