FLORENCE EASTON's
 SINGING IN ENGILSH

Miss Florence Easton will appear on October 12 at the Jefferson un- der the auspices of the Music Study club
 This will be the first concert of tho season given by the club, and those who have not yet obtained their season tickets may get them Monday at Cable hall or at any time until October l2. Of Miss Easton it has been said:
 "Florence Easton. through her bril- lant work at the Metropolitan opera house, has given the public req sonable chance to measure her tall ents. To take but an example, her notable singing of Elsa in Mir. Gattts revival of 'Lohengrin' in English, has enabled musical people to get a rather exact rating of her powers, especially when 1t comes to singing in our mother tongue.
 "The soprano is known to be an enthusiastic supporter. within cer- tain bounds, of the idea of opera in English I am sure, she once said to an interviewer, that people have liked my Elsa for one thing, because when taking the part I sing in the language which they and l speak at home in our families. There can be TO question as I look at it that an opera like Wagner's performed Tn New York, should be given with Eng fish dialogue. But I would <not ad- wise that an old school opera like "Traviata" be presented in English For such piece is as effective be- fore an English speaking audience with the original text as it would be with a translated one. Just as 1t stands in Italian. it has been so often heard as to have become d household word and therefore IL should not be altered. Any modern work. however, or an old one like Jjszt.s "St Elizabeth" which I sang at the Metropolitan, arranged ac- cording to modern conditions, Is bet ter. I believe, when sung in the lam guage of the audience.

past, being first mentioned in 438 A. D.
BY the eleventh and twelfth centuries
it was a thriving river port, and was
chartered as municipality in 1851.
The city was the home, for the greater
part Of his life, Of Gerhard Mcrcator,
who has left his name written indelibly
on the maps Of the world. In the Burg
PlatZ is fountain commcmoratinG this
map making genius.
Cities are strewn thickly in heavily
populated Germany. Dusseldorf, an
other Of the communities entered by
French, British and Belgian troops, is
only twenty miles up the Rhine from
Dusburg, and twcnty-four miles down
stream from Cologne, where the British
have maintained Il bridge-he since
the signing Of the treaty Of Versailles. ::
Dusseldorf means the village on the
Dussel," and when first heard of in 1159
this name fitted it. Now it is q vii
lage" of more than 100000 population
a city with more inhabitants than Seat
tie and not many thousands less than
Minneapolis. 1t is one of the most
handsome cities in western Germany
with commcdious parks and some fine
old buildings The streets Of the old
nucleus of the city are narrow and
crooked, but tho newer sections have
been laid out will, wide avenues.
A Promenade FOR Tonmies and Poilua.
Ten years before the World War rail-
road tracks which were along the bank
of the Rhine were moved and the space
so obtained was made into an impos-
ing thoroughfare overlooking the river,
the Rhine Promenade. There, no doubt
British Tomlnies, French Poilus, and
their Belgian comrades will take the
air, making themselves as thoroughly
at home as they have in the parks and
along the boulevards Of Cologne and
Mayence. ,,,-,
Like Duisburg, Dusseldorf is an i'm
portant industrial center and has capa-
cious port facilities. But its >industrialI
life is not so markedly dominated by
coal and iron, and it is more than a
city of factories and shipping. 1t takes
additional toll from the thriving Ruhr
region by serving as its principal bank
ing channel. It's textile Industries are
OF great Importance.
Doubtless the French do not feel al
together like strangers in Dusseldorf.
Ancestors of some orYhc present roilus
were probably with the French armies
which took possession OF the city in
