 Satility Of State

New York, Nov. 2j. CP>--Art has as athletics and the movies, be lleves Frances Peralta. star of the Metropolitan Opera Company. and a native Californian. Miss FcraIta protests against the notion that California produces chiefly athletic cham pions and lurid movies.
 "The attention that has been paid 10 the sprinters, golf champions and tennis stars that come from California have caused the matter of art to be overlooked" says Miss Peralta. "As a matter of fact Cali fornia has produced greater num- Der of writers. poets. painters and musicians than any other state in proportion to population
 She calls attention 10 a list of well-known writers from the days of Bret Harte. Joaquin Miller and Ambrose Bierce, who are natives of California. In music the names of Sbyl Sanderson, Emma Nevada, Rita Fornia, and Milton Aborn have become internationally famous. Of the younger musicians, she herself with Lawrence Tibbett and Mario Chamlee, of the Metropolitan Opera. are noted figures.
 Miss Peralta has been selected to star in the national tour Of Deems Taylors American opera, The Kings Henchman." A spe- cial company will present this opera in the leading cities Of the country during the coming season.
