SAYS STAR SYSTEM
 DOOMED IN OPERA
Wants Public To Hear Opera Rather
 Than Some Individual

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The star sys- tenn is doomed in Chicago opera.
 This, at least, is the promise of Maestro Giorgio Polacco, maestro of maestros, director of directors, and maestro and director of the Chicago Civic Opera company and Mary Garden.
 Giorgio is just back from Italy with his beautiful opera singing wife, Edith Mason.
 The star system, he found, stiles art and Giorgio is passionately ve- hcment in his promise to devote his life to- educating the public to going to hear opera rather than to hear Mrs. Sc and So."
 Giorgio explains:
 My wife and I have just returned from tour through Europe, where WIG heard nothing but opera. The most perfect performances we heard in all that time were presented by La Scale, the opera company of Mi Ian. They had no stars-all un- knowns, all artists, who were willing to submerge themselves in their roles"
