For the second time in thirteen years
Q season of opera at the Metropolitan

with LA Traviata." We are far from

or to speculate too curiousIy concern

1t may have been to illustrate what
was meant by devotion to ensemble in

twenty years would no longer be with

Dramatic Charm
The Violetta of the occasion was
Nine. Galli-Curci, who many lovers of
good singing have thought for long
time was deserving of better surround
Ings than have been vouchsafed her
since she made her sensational debut
upon the local stage with the Chicago
Opera Company. When she began her
first scene last night it seemed as if
a more gracious companionship had
justified the opinion of her somewhat
too indiscriminating admirers, but her
first great air set down the pegs con-
siderably. Her "Ah, fors' lui" and

eradicated by the transfer of Violettas s

Theater, or Manhattan Opera House to
the Metropolitan.
nor was it technically impeccable. A
great pity, for we cannot recall per-
formance that was begun with so much
dramatic charm or with a lovelier ex-
hibition of the graces of song.
Radiant in Style
In voice and style she was radiant,
in bearing and appearance in the high
est degree winning. With an admir-
able companion in Mr.. Gigli as Alfredo
she invited US to look forward to what
would prove a memorable performance
of Verdi's opera.
1t may have been the natural nervous
trepldation inspired by the conscious
ness that she was undergoing severe
ordeal (for first appearance at the
Metropolitan is an ordeal for even
the most seasoned Of operatic artists),
which prevented her from remaining
on the high plane assumed at the out
set, or the aural deficiency to which
we have at times attributed her de-
parture from correct intonation-a

Farrar-T Tellegen Suit
Shifted to Manhattan
Diva's Attorney Obtains Change
of Venue From Westchestcr
to New York County

WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. Nov. a.
Mrs. Geraldine Farrar Tellegen,
through counsel, made motion before
Justice Joseph Morschauser in the Su-
preme Court here to-day for change
of venue for the trial for separation
brought by Lou Tellegen.
A representative from the law firm
Of Samuel Untermyer made the motion
il behalf Of the singer. He contended
that, as the couple had their official
residence in New York County, and not
Westchester, the action should be
transferred to the former place. Coun-
sci for the complainant, Arthur R.
Schwartz, stated that there was no OBJ
lection to the change of venue, and
the court signed the order for the
transfer.
AS no papers in connection with the
case had been filed In westchester
County, the only records transferred
to Manhattan for filing was the order
granting the change Of venue.
Mr.. Schwartz, when seen after the
hearing, said that as result of the
agreement to transfer the suit the ac-
tlon Of the singer against her husband
for divorce and the separation suit
would be consolidated. 1t was later
learned officially that Mrs. Tellegen has
been served with papers in the action

1.-THE old spirit of Americanism Is
passing into history. We are drifting
toward another form OF patriotism
which needs close analysis. The
almost criminal desire for wealth, the
great influx of foreigners who do
not know our language, our history.
or understand our Constitution, tend
to destroy the passions that quicken
the love for liberty and country so
strongly manifested in the hearts or
our early settlers.
There is a fanatic desire among
some OF our citizens to increase our
staggering Indebtedness by appro-
priations to aid Europe to rebuild
and reconstruct It's industries. While
we cannot be deaf to the appeal OF
starving Europe. yet we must regard
jealousy our own affairs, that despair
and want may not dishearten our
people. 1t Is for the Congress to pro-
tect the American people from ruinous
taxation and oppose further European
loans, that our credit may be main
tanned at home and abroad"

continuance of the present schedule
on lumber, and expressed the fear
that Canada would place a prohibi-

way to retaliate against tariff detri-

United States.
Such is not the view of Representa-

lation OF the foreign loans rather
than a continuance of a policy which
would permit debtor countries to pay
their debts by trade.
