WHEN the Metropolitan Grand
Opera Co. selected Giacomo Puc.
cini's celebrated La Boheme" as one
of the operas to present during it's
forthcoming engagement at the Wash
ington Auditorium. April 22-23. they
chose one of the finest roles for Lu.
crezia Bori, that of Mimi opposite
Edward Johnsons Rodolpho
During the time that Lucrezia Bori
has been a star of the Metropolitan,
she has made internationally famous
her Interpretation of the role of the
unhappy little flower maker who lives
in an attic In the bohemian quarter
of Paris. Her enactment of this part
has already become as standard as the
Scarpia of Scott or the Carmen of
Calve.
Miss Bori is typically Latin. She
makes Mimi live on the operatic stage
as few singers have ever done. She
Is familiar with the Latin Quarter
type in Paris, Madrid, Barcelona and
Milan, loves bohemian surroundings
and types and has made a close study
of them.
Despite her prominence In role
essentially Gallo. Lucrezia Bori is
Spanish to her finger tips. Her
father was a colonel in the Spanish
Army and a favorte at the Spanish
Court. Her mother was noble
woman and Rori'e entire background
was one OF culture and beauty.

The Technique of Singing
BIZ MYRON w. WHITNEY
Membr Of the American Academy of Teachers

so completely shut off by congestion
that the word mad" becomes bad"
and when no breath at all can pass
through the nose.
The fact is that when the nose is
most open, and when the nasal reso-
nance is greatest. the nasal quality is
least likely to be present in the tone.
How, then, can we. with the least
effort, open the nasal passage to the
greatest extent?
There are three nasal consonants-
ng. N and n. Sing the words hung, :"
'hum" and hun" humming the final
consonant. You will find that the con-
sonant ing" shuts off the mouth reso~
nance completely because the back Of
the tongue and the soft palate meet
"NC' is, therefore. worthless as a res
onance adjuster
The m, being a lazy nasal, allots
more resonance to the mouth than to
the head because it opens the pas
sage to the nose but slightly. 1t is
by means of the IN" nasal that
we produce the white tone which
should never be sung full voice. but
softly. Observe that the anticipation
of the final consonant modifies the
vowel sound which precedes it. be
cause the effort to shape the nasal
consonant begins with the initiation
OF the vowel sound and continues. and
is reinforced throughout its prolonga
ton.
FINALLY the effort to pronounce m
apportions the resonances In such a
| manner as to produce the covered
tone. because it opens the passage
amply and increa ses the reverbera
tion of the tone in the head, while still
preserving plenty of mouth resonance
The advantage of using a pronun-
citation of the vowel which anticipates
| the consonant en- at it's close is
therefore twofold. 1t vastly increa ases
the nasal resonance and reduces the
| nasal quality of the tone, and it holds
! the nasal passage open automa tically
| SO that the attention need not always
| be vigorously focused upon this vital
point of vocal production.
! There are other ways to insure the
| open passage from the throat to the
nose which may be used as auxiliaries
! to the above.
One is to establish the habit of hold.
| ing the nose open in speech This has
the advantage liz not exaggerated OF
vastly improving the speaking voice
Another makes use of the Illusion of
| inhalat ton, which, as we have seen
should persist during the act of sing
ing. The singer has merely TO extend
the illusion to convince himself that
| he II inhaling through the nose as
we'll as through the mouth.

TEN YEARS OF BOLsHEvIsM


On the tenth anniversary OF the overthrow OF the
Kerensky Government by Lenin there may be disagree
ment regarding details Of the present status Of the
Soviet experiment. But there is no difference among
competent observers as TO the two main detectives of
the Bolshevist coup d'etst. These were world-revolu-
ton and the establishment Of Communism within Rus
STA To Lenin at the beginning the primary aim was
world revolution. In 1917 the Bolsheviki were suffi-
GENTLY welded to the MARKHAM doctrine to believe that
in peasant Russia the conditions did not exist for the
creation Of a Communist commonwealth. Lenin did not
expect 70 retain power for a long time. He did count
upon holding out long enough for Western Europe TO
catch fire from the Russian spark. That hope has long
since been abandoned. Western Europe j. immune
against the Communist doctrine. Recent events have
proved the same thing to be true for Asia. Moscow ad-
mits that the world-revolution has been postponed TO
an indefinite future.
Within Russia the leaders Of all factions confess
that Communism does not prevail. What is going on
now is a preparation for Communism; that is the Stain
point Of view. The Trotsky- Zinoviev point Of view is
that the retreat from Communism continues. Stain
stresses the old Russian argument that we retire in
order to leap forward. Trotsky declares that the re-
treat is in danger Of falling back to a point from which
no leap forward will be possible. The original excon-
munication Of money in a Communist state was speedi-
" rescinded. The ban on private trade was quashed by
Lenin in the New Economic Policy. The peasants re-
belled against taking from each according to his abili-
ties and giving to each according to his needs; taxa
ton was substituted in 1921 for req~uisition on the
peasants grain. The key industries remain in the
hands Of the Government; but they are conducted on
the eapitalistic principle Of operation for profit, though
the profit is not often forthcoming. Private enterprise
is permitted in order that it may create profits which
may be taxed away.
In minor features Of the Communist philosophy
there has been a similar retreat. The war on religion
has abated. Underneath the legend on the walls Of
the KremIin that religion is the opiate Of the masses
the Orthodox faithful throng the churches. The pro-
letarian culture which was to be substituted for bour-
geois ideas in literature. art, drama and thought in

SIGNS OF THE TIMES IN COTTON
dallas News)

An Associated Press dispatch from Boston reported
the other day the decision of another New England
textile mill to move South. The Appleton Company of
Lowell will spend over three-quarters of a million dol
lars 70 transfer its mill machinery to South Carolina.
simultaneously, the PeppereIl Manufacturing Company
Of Lowell introduced drastic economies in its Lowell
mill to offset losses. It Is noteworthy that this organ
ization has already two mills In the South.
Added 10 the dissolution Of the Amoskeag company
and the plans ut Fall River to consolidate the mills
there, the textile industry is supplying the cotton field
with unmistakable signs. There is no illusion in the
economic structure the textile mills are experiencing in
New England.
That the gravity o. the situation OF what has been
a basic and supporting industry for many New England
towns is not entirely grasped by those communities is
now becoming evident. At Lowell the textile mills
have been heavy contributors to the support Of the
city through taxation. Inability Of the tax assessing
forces to recognize the serious imposition now made on
an industry struggling to survive is given rs one rea-
son for the removal Of the Appleton company. Ii pre-
sents a serious problem TO the Pepperell organization,
which is asking reduction in taxes and pointing out
that a more lenient attitude in the locations OF its
Maine and Southern mills enables them to operate at a
profit.
IL Is doubtless difficult for cities where the budget
has been largely supported in times Of prosperity BY
the assessment on paying industries TO realize that,
when changed conditins occur, it is the better part Of
municipal wisdom to alter taxable values.
