That was allvand that was why
the young Belgian with his shrIll
pipes which he Played fairly well,
will be remembered when all the
other things on the hour of Roxy
doings WRC broadcast last night
win be forget.
It was an hour that was filled
with a number OF things including
the resurrection from the long ago
py Frank Moulan OF The Prodical
Son, Tom Seabrooke's famous old
song from THE Isle of Champagne, !"
and the singing of a very remark

mixed chorus. If one should be

'.PAGLLACCI" FALLS
THROUGH ANNOUNCEMENT
In contrast with the Roxy an
nouncement OF the Belgian, one of
the most dramatic Of grand operas,
'Pagliacci," fell absolutely between
wholesale announcements, and most
of its drama was entirely lost.
There are few more intensely thrill
ing scenes on the stage--in the
drama. or opera--than the one that
closes this opera. II 1t could be
identified clearly and distinctly from
the mass of music that precedes it,
| believe it would register in.
deIibly on the radio audience ilst
as it does on the audiences that
see it..
But the announcing system of
WEAF grand opera calls for whole
sailing the story at the beginning
Of the acts or sections of the opera.
The result is that the listeners are
left to select the parts that have
been mentioned, set In mass Of
orchestral music or recitative that
wasn't referred to, and sung in a |
language few can understand. |
Under such conditions opera has
little chance for intelligent hearing
save only from those people who
know it thoroughly-and even these
have difficulty in separating the
parts in tabloid versions. Each
scene should be explained as it
comes to the hearer-particularly
the climactic scenes and songs.
The main features of the Monday
were just that--with little
to distinguish them save the in
creasing noise that fill the atmos.
phere and finally made tuning
almost impossible.

SEAL HUNTING BY INDIANS

Leiut Comma ander c. c. Roemer of the coast guard yesterday received orders from Washington, D.. C. to this effect.
 The reason is that when Great Britain Russia and the United States reserved the Pribiloffs as seal-breed- ing Islands, it was agreed htat the Indians would be allowed to hunt the seals the same as they had done for centuries. But recently the h. tiians became progressive To make their catches bigger they have been using power boats.

MEASLESFATAL

August and September Found
to Have Highest
Death Rate.
Special nispa,ch 10 The Star.

Gpecadi btspatcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, July 2S.-Beware of
measles in August and September.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance Co.
has just made study of death rates
among its policy holders which reveals
that more measles cases die in these
two months than at any other time
In the year.
Though the regular measles season
up to parents, say health authorities,
to exercise every precaution to safe
guard the young victims that fall q
prey to the disease during this dam
gerous period.
In the meantime scientific research
is closing in on the germ that causes
this most contagious of diseases. Drs.
j. III Musser. G. w. Duval and r. j.
Hubbard of Tulane University. New
Orleans, have been working with
streptococcus, apparently identical
with one first described by DIR. Ruth
Tunnicliff of the John Mccormick In
stitute for Infectious Diseases, at
Chicago.
The investigators at Tulane isolated
their germs from the blood of measles
patients in a recent epidemic in New
Orleans. From them DIR. Musser pre-
pared a toxin that gave a skin reac-
ton when injected in susceptible peo-
pie. but which failed to show on the
skins of those who had had measles.
This is considered fairly conclusive
proof that the cause of measles has
been located. The next logical steps
of working out preventive and cura-
tive serums are probable developments
to be expected in the near future.
