The plans general provide for

$l0,0O0,O00 corporation to produce
rubber at low price, and at the

Paris and Monte Carlo. It was said,
however, that their training has just
begun.
Milton Well, editor Of Musical
America, expressed the opinion that
"there are certain singers with very
marvellous voices, who, could they be
spared for year or so to go through
the apprenticeship Of opera, would be
still greater artists. but they can not
be spared"
For this reason" he said. ''there
never has been a time in the history
of opera and in the concert field,
when real talent has such great op-
portunity as it has at the present.
Where genius or great talent exists in
artists, it is not so much a matter of
their breaking into opera or the con-
cert field" @

Better Chances Given
Amer. Opera Singers

| New York, Jan. 13-(AP)-Amer-
lean singers have greater opportun.
itv in grand opera than ever before
and the increasing love for music in
this country is held largely respon-
sible.
| On the roster of the Metropolitan
Opera Company, there are thirty
eight Americans, including Lawrence
Tibbett, Rosa Ponselle, Jeanne Cor
Missouri girl, and Mary Lewis. who
girls.
| A far greater number has been CIV
en- additions and Mr.. CATH Cassaza,
general manager, Is trying to provide
for American talent 80 far as is con-
sistent with the Metropolitan's stand
| ards and the standards Of the public"
He does not believe, however, the OPP
| pOrtunity Is as great as 1t should be.
when every city Of any preten-
sions in America has an opera house
that functions and is supported by
| its public" he said. "the situation for
the development of native artists will
| be much more favorable than 1t pos
sibly can be today"
Feodor Chaliapin now is organiz-
| ing his own grand opera company and
it's personnel will be ninety percent
American" First, the company will
| make coast-to-coast tour of the
United States and then go to Mexico
and Cuba.
There are reports that Chaliapin
will establish his organization in the
Manhattan Opera House here after
the tours, which will end in 1927. II
such a step should be taken-and s..
Hurok, the Russians manager, said it
| would be logical-another permanent
opportunity for American talent
would be open.
Only recently, one of the Henshaw
opera companies, composed almost
entirely of Americans, went to Cuba
for three performances and now is
touring in the United States. The at
/ titude of the Chicago Civic Opera
toward American talent always has
been encouraging.
Increased demand for domestic
opera is evidenced in the tours made
by the Chicago company and other
organizations to a large number of
the principal cities. The Metropolis.
tan has been making tours to Cleve-
| land and Atlanta each season and
| only recently turned down requests
from Washington and Baltimore for
appearances this year.
Chaliapin's schedule is interesting
| in view of the number of places to be
visited and the fact that many Of the
cities are small.
While the opportunity for artists
has increased, the demands upon
| them are about the same as in the
past, in the opinion of several concert
authorities here.
At the Metropolitan. 1t Is pointed
out that Miss Talley and Miss Lewis
| have been given the opportunity to
| become established in opera, but time
and their performances alone win de-
| termine whether they make good.
| Miss Ponselle came into the COM
pany only after a few months study
under a maestro, but it was because
| Of the unusual quality of her voice
and the further fact that dramatic
| soprano was needed.
| Tibbett's remarkable success last
year came after years of study and
training. Miss Talley received an
addition from Gatti-Casazza three
years ago and since has gone through
| intensive training. Miss Lewis ap-
peared as Marguerite in Faust" in

Fate of Historic
House Still Unknown

Pittsfield, Mass, Jan. 13-(AP)-
The fate Of historic old Appleton
Appleton House where Longfellow
was inspired to write his celebrated
poem, "The Old Clock on the Stairs"
still hangs in the balance. 1t seems
certain, however. that there Is little
danger that the stairway itself will
be doomed even IL the rest OF the
house Is RACED to make way for a
$1,000.000 high school.
The city council debated the mat
ter last night but came to no deci-
sion. A commission which has been
studying the situation recommended
that in event the house should be
torn down. the staircase and replica
clock be given place of safe keep
ing. The original clock is In the
Longfellow house in Cambridge. The
proposed razing Of the Appleton
house has provoked countrywide
protest. 1t was in the picturesque
old mansion, built in 1880 by Nathan
Appleton, a Boston merchant, who's
daughter, Frances, became the poets
bride, that the two visited on their
wedding trip. Two years later the
verses appeared.

Who Threatened
Negroes in Florida

Tampa, Fla. Jan. 13-(AP)-Fol
lowing appeals for protection to the
Tampa city commission yesterday by
Negro residents and delegations from
three Negro organizations, city and
county officers today continued to
search for a reported band of night
riders which the Negroes said had
warned several of their number to
quit their city.
City officials charged that the Light
riders have been acting under the in
stigation of real estate operators who
would force the Negroes to sell their
holdings to. make way for sub divis-
ions.
r. G. Dolby, an aged Negro. told
Mayor Perry G. Wall that he was
visited by the band which, after
burning cross before his home,
warned him to leave the city within
As hours. They then left his place.
Dolby said, and set fire to a Negro
neighbours home.
Police were detailed to protect the
Negro with orders to shoot to kill
anyone attempting to modest him or
his property.
Belief that real estate operators
were behind the night riders, investi-
gators said, was based on the fact
that several attempts recently have
been made to develop a subdivision
which have met with failure because
of Negro occupants of the property.
