Commenting on America, Andre

French writer's, author Of "Arial,"
says in his impressions, What
is terrible about this country Is
its incessant agitation. Being
sons and grandsons of pioneers,
the Americans have not yet real
lied that the whole charm or life
consists of leisure.
The persistence Of speed in our
mechanics OF living is obviously
acceptable, but speeds incursion

and devastating. Talent is back.

ballyhoo: enchantment is replaced
by rowdyism the aristocracy OF
the stage must yield to, the NOR

One need look no farther than
the. film houses throughout the
land to see how speed" Is last
becoming the dominant factor In
stage presentations. substance
matters not so much as noise ana
the pursuit OF cacophonouS hars
monies: even the pictorial aspects
are shopWorn and haggard.
One finds much lop.sided Zieg-
field in the manner Of production,

of Fred Latham and Edward

Herndon's patch-quilt work was
not as significant as it was APP
propriate. Distinction, brevity and
Intensity were its virtues: it did
not pump speed into action merely
as a gesture Of profligacy: it did
not prove an erosion to nervous
endurance. 1T radiated interest,
good taste and the calm charm

Just what place speed has In
entertainment is difficult to say.
1t cannot replace talent, despite
the efforts OF snall-time producers
to bring about this state OF af-
fairs. It must DO regulated, just
as auto traffic is controlled.
Considering the observation Of
Maurois on ''the agitation of life"
in America. one suddenly stops to
survey and appraise the general"
rather than specific situation.
The. automobile, the radio. the
crowded conditions in apartment,
the complexities of street car

growth of advertising all these

Vettori Wins New
Laurels In
''TOsca''

The late Prof. Puccinl composed
'"Tosca" before he realized he was
a far better composed Of romantic
than melodrana opera. He poured
into its score. a wealth of splen-
did pauses and cut short the
melody lines. Fortunately for
himself he switched his style,
and like Franz Lehar, who tried
grand opera and failed, Puccini
decided in his later years to go
In for something with few or
chestra tricks.
AS "Tosca" came to life with
Paul Althouse, Pasquale Amat0,
Elda Vettori and Ivan StescheT1ko
at Polls last night under the gem
eral direction of DIR. Albion, the
production was neither q success
nor q failure. It traced q middle
ground; and as you well Know,
middle ground In opera is fatal.
T11da Vettori, combining her his
trionic and vocal abilities with
discrimination brought to "Tosca"
a genuine Sardou quality. She
got into the role and stayed there;

stretches of music seem gallant.
buried Amato's volcalizations as
blizzard does a squirrel. Such
conducting is not in good form in
this pianissiIno age.
OF DR.. Albion's choral groups,
the ensemble managed well.
'"Tosca" is a dull opera any
way you take it. Puccini had not
hit his stride: had not established
full grasp on his meter. And,
in addition, his hbrettists didn't
do well by him.
Tonight the event will be
