aided by advance trumpetings or press
agency, Lawrence Tibbett, an Ameri-
can youth known to the public, took
the stage at the Metropolitan last
winter to essay the role of Ford Yer,
dis "Falstaff." Before the night was
over the critics had unanimously pro-
claimed the end of rainbow - an
American baritone who had provided
the finest performance of the Metro
politan season.
Tibbctt, not yet thirty years Of age,
was no comet that rose suddenly and
then faded cut as suddenly, as many
an operate comet does. Succeeding
performances confirmed the impress
sion that here was the finest male
voice our country has thus far dis
covered "A baritone of magnificent
power and range. controlled by II
superior musical intelligence.
On the evening of October 8, Mr..
Tibbett will insugurate the regular

cover for themselves whether Law
