executive and sales forces of the Ameri-

work for Mr. Ziegfeld at half past nina
so he limited his remarks to banking.

planned that inasmuch as he didn'.
understand it either he couldn't be ac-
cused of holding out on the audience.
"You birds" said Mr.. Rogers to the
nice looking young salesmen of bonds
and mortgages, look more like the
customers than the clerks. Not that
you're going to get me, I've been
working on an invention lately. You
know. it used to be that folks kept
peddlers and insurance agents and sew
ing machine salesmen off with dogs,
but it got to be that the peddlers and
agents and salesmen got so hard boiled
that they bit the dog first. Then we
got to saying, No. l don't want to
buy nothing. ] amt got no money
But that didn't work so we'll be-
cause. gosh. you said that made no
difference you'd sell your junk. on
credit. So I've been working on this
here invention. It's something like a
radio. You put it on your hat and
When salesman comes in the same

cause there's going to be lot of heavy

speak and maybe he'll tell you how
ii was that he got such a little job
being he's from Ohio. He's going to
Washington and Truman Newberry just
left Washington to go home and sit on
the front porch and hiss every Ford
automobile that passes his house.
Henry Ford would have had the JOB

out so. 100000 and then he sued Henry
because he said Henry wasn't running
the business right
Yes. and We're going to loan Europe
a billion and a half. She owes us $11,-
600 already. The birds who were
figuring the interest found that it was
hard to dope the interest on that sum
but, that it would be easier to figure
it If we made it a billion and half

ROSA PONSELLE AND RUFFO
IN FIRST OFFERING OF 'ERNANP
Soprano as Elvira and Barry,
tone as Don Carlos warm
Iy Applauded.
ny W. j. HENDERSON.

Nerdi's "Ernani" was sung at the
Metropolitan Opera House yesterday
afternoon for the first time this sea-
son. The occasion acquired special
interest from the reappearance of two
popular members OF the company,
Miss Rosa NPonselle. soprano. and
Titta Rdffo barytone. The former. of
course, impersonated EIrird. the all
conquering lady about whom three
able bodied men would have come to
swords had ii not been for the happy
intervention of the more fatal hunt
ing horn.
Miss Ponselle was warmly applauded
by q large audience. Her voice, though
not as smooth and mellow as it was
when she was first heard here, remains
one of the most beautiful to which the
present generation of operagoers has
had the felicity to listen. There was
much in tie sopranos singing that was
meritorious, though it must be con-
fessed that Verdi's bravura is not so
we'll within her abilities as the more
plangent pa ssages of the role. Miss
Ponselle is a dramatic singer, while
Elrira was associated in earlier days
with the fame of celebrated mistresses
of fiorid and lyric utterance.
Mr.. Ruffo represented Don Carlos,
King of CASTLE. He was picturesque
king. though perhaps not always
royal. But kings frequently fail to
look their parts. Perhaps Charles rose
to imperial appearance after he be-
came Emperor. Mr.. Ruffo was in
command Of his powerful voice and
sang with more than his usual dis
cretion. His voice is unique and there
have been times when he seemed
to take delight in exhibitions of its
volume. But yesterday he appeared
to be interested in delivering Verdi's
music fluently and smoothly The re-
suits were very good indeed. Mr..
Ruffo was acclaimed by his hearers.
Mr.. Martinelli was the Erndni and
Mr.. Mardones the Don Ray Gomez. 1t
is not often that this excellent bass
has an opportunity to reveal his art
10 such an advantage as he did in this
part. The one grand chance. of course,
is the "Infelice," which Mr. Mardones
delivered with nobility of tone and
breadth of style, but perhaps with
something less Of feeling than the sit
uation suggests. Mr.. Martinelli is
quite at home in such roles as Erndni.

and his brilliant voice lent spirit to
much of the performance.
In the evening Carmen" was sung
before an audience which, like that OF
the afternoon, tested the capacity of
the house. The principals in the cast
were the same as at the previous per-
formance of Bszets work, except that
Edward Johnson sang Don Jose. The
young tenor is well suited to the part.
He looked well. a tall, slender. SOL
dierly figure, and his acting and sing
ing showed both temperament and in
teligence. There were many excellent
details in his impersonation, all show
ing a carefully wrought out plan. His
singing of the flower song was espe-
cially commendable as piece OF lyric
delivery.
Nine. Easton's Carmen was as bril-
liant. seductive and musical as before,
and Mr.. de Luca repeated with sue
cess his Escdmillo. Miss Queena
Mario's pretty voice once more made
pleasing the measures of Micdeio.
The performance as whole moved
with spirit due partly to the judiclcus
conducting of Louis Hasselmans.
