POPULAR PRICED
JAZZ INVADES
COVENT GARDEN

London, March 81. - (AP) - Lon
don's famous Covent Garden Theatre,
officially known as the Royal Opera
House, has come at last under the
spell of jazz. The theatre, built in
1858, is to be taken over by syndi-
cate, which gives dances every night
in the week at popular prices. This
will be the first time that the
theatre has been used as a dance
hall, although many public dances
have been held there in, former times.
The dancing season will end late in
the spring, it is announced, in time
for what is to be known as an inter-
national season of opera.
The Royal Opera House, which be-
came popularity known as Covent
Garden Theatre because Of it's loca-
tion near the famous market place,
has had varied experiences, having
.been used for opera, drama, circus,
ballot, pantomime, revue and films.
During the war it served as store
house for furniture from other
buildings taken over by the govern
ment for office purposes.

Chicago, March 27.-(By the A. P.)
indications Of wet weather south-

rise in Liverpool quotations and to
continued unfavorable domestic

The opening, Y cents to cents

July $1.47h to $1.48A, was follow
ed by many rapid changes in which
May went down to $1.63 and July

Subsequently the market became
burdened by orders to sell which
were ascribed largely to trade I'M

ITALIANS
GRATIFIED
AT CABLE LINE

Rome, March 27.-The conclusion
this month of the work Of laying a
submarine cable from Anzio. Italy TO
Malaga, Spain, whereby Italy is for
the first time joined by direct cable
to the North American continent, is
being hailed with enthusiasm by that
large section Of the Italian popula-
ton which turns avidly towards the
United States for inspiration for
1taly's fast growing commercial and
industrial life.
But the completion of the cable al
so is having the effect of emphasiz-
ing the extent to which Italy has up
until the present occupied pecu-
liarly insular role in regard to daily
news communication with the Amer
icas, and even with northern and
western Europe.
The Roman newspapers, and there
are but few large Italian newspapers
outside Of Rome, are fashioned in
conformity with the Latin journals
tic idea that opinion is more import
ant than news, and that news should
have the color brought to it by the
personal viewpoint of the reporter OF
the political creed Of the journal.
Each newspaper publishes but a
scant few columns of news from
abroad, and most Of that comes from
nearby countries, France most often
These columns treat almost exclu-
sively of political happenings, and
only occasionally of news events.
Fresh news is scarce and for freak
and human interest stories, which
the Italians love as much as do the
Americans, the Rome dailies rely on
venerable foreign newspapers, re-
writing unashamedly everything
which pleases them without bother
ing about the time of its origin.
Practically all news from the Unit
ed States comes by way of London
and Paris, and much of it suffers
strange distortion which indicates
the relay race it has run.
