French struck him in the chest.
The negro fell over a chair, but
jumped to his feet and began TO run
from the room as the matron
screamed.

to shoot if she left the room, but she
slammed the door and started down
the steps. She tripped and fell. The
intruder burst out on the landing and

Will Continue Two Weeks.

Like the opening festival. the inter
national festival also will be given in
Polls Theater. beginning on Monday
night. February 13, and continuing
through TWO weeks, concluding on
Saturday night. February Is.
The cooperation of the five great
nations in the comig festival sets
another precedent in the relations be
tween the United States and other
peoples. Mr.. Albion declared.
Music" he said, rs the one great
universal language against which
there are no geographical or racial
barriers and the festival will link our
National Capital with the capitals of
other great nations in a higher bond
of appreciation and understanding.
Never before has such a group Of
foreign ambassadors been brought to-
gether in America in common un-
dertaking TO express good will and
friendship for our people. Like the
action of France in sending Maurice
Capit3ine from her capital to OURS as
an arnba ssador of song, the action Of
these several countries. through their
ambassadors, sets a precedent in the
history OF our international relations
and in the development Of art in
America. There is, / his alliace,
no question of might OF arms or com
merce. but oily the greater power of
friendship"
With five Of the most important en-
bassies in the National Capital as well
as q powerful group OF important
American men and women vitality in
tsregted as 81 onsors, the coming inter
national festival promises to be one Of
the most brilliant social events OF the
year. Members Of the diplomatic
corps, 81 IL said, already are planning
entertainments and various social
ISIS who will come here TO sing in the
festival.
Seat Sale Opens Soon.
There will be no increase in the
prices which have been in effect for
the Washington National Opera pro
auctions for the past several years.
Public sale Of the seats will be opened
in a few days.
As hundreds OF muse lovers were
turned away from the opening festival
OF the season because all Of the cheop-
or seats in the theater had been sold
out weeks in advance. IL is plannd to
increase the number Of cheap seats
evails bic for the international festival,
Mr. Albion said. The generosity and
financial support Of the public-spiri,ed
persons who are sponsoring this inter
national festival will, IL is believed,
make II possible 10 bring the festival
productions within the reach Of every
citizen Of Washington"
