President and Mrs. Coolidge to
Attend American Opera First Night
Many Other NotabIes
Will Witness Interesting
Experiment; "Faust" to
Be Presented
By JEAN BLOT


WITH the President and
Mrs. Coolidge IN at
tendance, the American Opera
Company will open its brief
topera season at Polls Thea
ter tonight.
Too bad-for them both
that it should come so close
upon the heels Of the Wash
ington Opera Company 5
festival week. But. this was
something that couldn't be
helped, since the opera to-
night was in effect a ''com-
mand" performance.
Speaker Longworth, who had
become interested in the Ameri-
can Opera Company through its
work on the North Shore last
summer, had been gathered in
by Mrs. Joseph Letter, impre-
sario for the Washington season,
to serve on her committee and
1t was he who delivered an
invitation to President Coolidge
to attend the first performance
at the Capital as an earnest
appreciation Of the work that
is being done by the company
in developing American singers.
The President was asked to name
the date on which it would be
most convenient for him to be
present. He named December
IL. And that was that, al
though, of course, everybody
appreciated that it wasn't very
good business to have the two
opera seasons so close together
and the Washington Opera Com
pany had long before announced
the date.
MRS. LETTERS sponsorship,
NA backed up by a group of
distinguished men and women, is,
of course, enough to make this
q gala occasion socially. And
from the opera lovers point of
view it has a special interest,
since the American Opera Com
pany is making an important ex-
pertinent in opera production. In
the first place the star system
has been thrown overheard and
= company built UP along the
lines of the famous Moscow Art
Theater, which relies largely for
its artistic values upon it's team
work. The principals sing in
the chorus when occasion de-
mands. Then, all the operas are
sung in English, on the theory
that no artist can loosen up
