San Carlo Opera
Company Uncovers
Much Good Talent
By ALFRED FRANkENsrEIN.

The Siamese twins of opera, Cay
alleria Rusticana" and 'Pagliacci"
were the offerings of the San Carlo
company last Thursday. The per-
Torrance brought out one wonder,
and several other excellent singing
actors. The wonder is Mario Basiola,
a young baritone who sang Tonia in
"PagIiacci.' Hhis rendition of the
prolag was so stirring and fine that
he had to encore it.
The "Cavalleria" cast featured
Manuel Salazar as Turiddu. Salazar

fortunately he has the build of a
waiter on an ocean liner and so is not
exactly an ideal hero.
Gladys Axman as Santuzza was a
joy TO behold, but not such a great
JOY to hear. Joseph Interrante as
Alto made much better impression
than he did at the toreador in Gar
men," He bears an astonishing re-
semblance in features and manner to
the holy Of holies-Douglas Fair

The "Pagliacci'' cast, outside of
Basiola featured the excellent Anna

Matzenauer Is One of
the Greatest Singing
Actresses of the Day

Frederick Stock and Margaret Mat
xenauer conspired to put on a program
of sure-fire hits at Orchestra Hall last
Friday and Saturday. In the first half
MT. Stock went exploring in unfam-
liar Beethoven. He played the
"Prometheus" overture and the first
three movements of the ninth sym
phony.
The overture can best be described
as typical Beethoven overture, and
those who know the preludes that
Beethoven wrote for "Egmont," "Cor-
iolanus," and the four prologs to
'Leonore" will know what we mean.
The symphony lays itself open to a
charge of which none of the other
symphonies of Beethoven can be &C
cused. 1t is redundant, overlong
There was material for a work fifteen
minutes in length, and the composer
strung it out over very nearly three
quarters Of an hour. There is no over
development of the material, there is
merely constant repetition of it. This
is especially true of the third move
ment. There is however nothing in
Beethoven lovelier than the tiny
theme enunciated by the first violins
over tremolo in the 'celli at the be-
ginning, and nothing more recklessly
spirited in all his works than the
theme of the scherzo.
1t is a great pity that the finale
was not played too. But the last
movement calls for large chorus and
solo singers, and to get them for so
short time would have been imprac-
ticable.
After the intermission we had two
excerpts from Tristan and Isolde,
the prelude, and an aria in the first

where, to the writer, Mascagni fell
down. At the very end, when Alto
knifes Turiddu offstage there is heard
grand series of screams, the chorus
rushes on, the orchestra plays a
theme similar to the theme played
by circus bands when the Chinese
acrobat slides down from the top of
the tent by his hair.
Compare to that the effect got by
Musorgski in "Khovanchina" the cur
tain descends slowly accompanied by
silence. Magnificent!
Every composer about to write an
opera should be forced to study the
scores of Boris Godunov" and ''Kho
vanchina" for two years before writ
ing a note.

LAW VIOLATION COSTLY,
MRS. -WlLLEBRAhDT SAYS
Cannot Be Permitted by Any
Logical Group Of Citizens, She
Tells goth Century Club.

Fostering disobedience to any law,
regardless of what 1t is. entails too
steep a cost to the individual, to the
family and to the Nation to be per-
mitted by any logical body Of citizens,
Mrs Mabel Walker Willebrandt, As
sistant Attorney General, told mem
bers of the Twentieth Century Club s
civic section at a luncheon meeting yes
terday at the University Club.
She enumerated the costs OF dis
obedience to any law as follows:
TT costs too much in the way of
taxes for. the Individual. because of
the necessity of expenditures in en-
forcing the law which Is disobeyed
1t costs too much to allow a spirit
of lawlessness to grow up. in the
younger generation, because of the
bad example OF their elders, and IL
costs too much to the Government be-
cause of the lack OF national respect
which inevitably follows reckless dis.
regard of law"
Mrs. Willebrandt made it clear thai
she was speaking Of laws in genera,
and did not mention any particular
law.

Cermany's President, Unused to
Pomp and Circumstances OF
Presidents Life, Longs for
His Country Cottage Again
BY MILTON BRONNER

BERLIN, Sept. 5.-"The lonely
man Of the Wilhelmstrassc.
That's what Germans are begin
ming to call Paul Won Hindenburg,
former generaHssimo Of the Ger
nan armies and now president of
the German republic by reason Of
the first general election for chief
executive that the nation ever held,
It's not that president hasn't
many callers. He could have vis-
TORS all day long, if hc wanted to
receive them. He s lonely for his
little house in Hanover, where he
counted upon passing his last years.
He's now 78. He's lonely for his
little granddaughter. They come
only for occasional visits to their
grandpa. He's lonely for his fine
horse. He's had to give up horse
back riding since he moved to the
capital.
The big presidential housc in
the Wilhelmstrasse with its stiff
pompous rooms in red and gray,
its huge red marble staircase, its
fenced-in gardens, It's endless array
of flunkie5. its stiff forn;ality, is be-
ginning to pail upon the old man.
He was more comfortable in his
little house in Hanover where things
were rugged Up TO suit his tastes,
where his friends dropped in to see
him at all hours, and where all
the neighbors could be ncighborly.
The only place in this official
residence that Hindenburg feels at
home in is the room he calls his
office. From this room. he has
banished the French paintings that,
singularly enough, decorate the
walls of the rest Of the palace.
Hindenburg has kept the walls of
his office bare, save for two pic
lures. One is Of a beautiful Ger
man countryside painted by Ger
man painter. The other IS big
photograph Of the son he lost on
the field Of battle.
The only furniture in the room
is few chairs and a big mahogany
topped desk. The room with its
spartan simplicity suits the soldier
temperament of the old man, more
used to camps and barracks than
the palaces and diplon acy.
He still holds himself very
straight for such an old man. His
hair is going all white, but his
mustache is still only gray His eyes,
despite the dark pouches below
chem, are still blue with a youthful
5lueness.
he wears ordinarily very simple
gray suit with a white pin stripe.
His collar, to accommodate his rath-
er bull-likc neck, is big and loose
fitting. His tic is also gray and he
IS old-fashioned enough to stick

A dry winter which caused the
deaths of thousands small fishes
and other forms of animal life that
prey upon mosquito larvae, follow
ed by unusual rains this spring are
the causes given locally for the I'M

health officials say that in the main
they arc harmless at least insofar
as germ carrying goes,
Druggists that sell various i'll

yards and even on sidewalks here.
