Internationally Famous Priua Donna
Called By Musical Critics, "The Ideal
0oloratura." Sings important role
Of madam Hofsr" in Moxart's Comic
Opera, "Ths Impresario."
Tho name of Regina Vicarino, the
ether soprano, is perhaps not as well
known to concert goers as to those
who follow the destinies of the opera,
n the greatest triumphs of her ca
roer have been made as an operate
prima donna in Europe. South Amer
lea. Mexico. Cuba and the United
States.
Regina Vicarino was one of the
most important finds of the late
Oscar Hammerstein. and made her
American debut at the Manhattan
Opera House, New York. At the close
Of her season, she was engaged for
Opera in California, where she scored
q sensational success for six months,
in all the leading coloratura roles.
Miss Vicarino then went to Europe
where she sung in all the larger cities
of italy. and also at the National
opera in Prague, where she received
thirty.seven curtain calls during her
performance Of Violctta in La Travi-
alta. Then followed successful tour
OF South America, Mexico and Cuba.
Last season she divided her time be-
tween concert and opera in this coun-
try. and sung twenty performances
as a guest artist with the San Carlo
Opera Co. In New York and other
large cities.

lined. Exact rates in each case re-
main to be fixed, but the sub-com-
mittee expects to have the entire pro-
gram completed by Saturday.
Graduated increases in the various
kinds of documentary stamp taxes
now in force were discussed today in
the sub committee with sentiment
said to have been in favor Of impos-
ing the highcS' rate in the case CT the
transfer of capital stock and bonds.
The figure suggested was one tenth
of one percent. on all transfers
whether original or subsequent. The
present tax is 1-20 of one percent. in
the case of the original transfer and
1-50 of one percent. on each subse-
quent transfer.
The suggested increase in the
taxes on cigarettes is estimated to
yield s25,O00.000, while that on
tobacco would yield an additional
100000. In the case OF admissions
the existing rate Of 10 percent. may
be doubled where the charge ex-
ceeds 25 cents.
Representative Longworth said
that by spreading the taxes over
eight different sources the burden
would be fairly well distributed
among the people and yet would not
fall particularly heavy upon any one
class.
While Mr.. Longworth's committee
was dealing with the tax problem,
the other subcommittee under the
diractiop IF characterization rrooo ~
Iowa began work on the bill. 1t was
said that no changes would he made
in the five optional plans as written
in the original Fordney measure, but
that several alterations in some of
the administrative features were
planned.
