 There is no doubt that next fall the school will be even more Of success than it has been this year. At the present time several proml- nent men in New Britain have be- come interested in the project, and have expressed their willingness to serve on the board of directors next fall
 When one compares the school of this year with the one which IS protected for fall. he will soon see why the work which has been this spring is rally marvellous. We did not have much time to work this spring. Classes were limited in time, and there were classes only once every week. All the other times the pupils had to work out their own problems with no one 10 guide them.

When Concettina Cianci appealed to the board of adjustment to permit reopening of a store in her building at the corner of Fremont and West streets, she represented that her husband is an invalid and that it is necessary for her to have this additional revenue or she will lose her property.
 Last night at meeting of the board. William Lanske, leader of the opposition to Mrs. Ciancis peti- ton, contradicted her claims. assert ing that the Cianci's are spending several thousands of dollars to inn prove their property, have a radio in their home and drive about in . limousine.
 Cianci Becomes Belligerent
 These declarations brought Cianci to his feet and with a fiery look in his eye, he advanced toward Lanske with both fists upraised. Lanske was undisturbed. but seized upon the incident to ask: Gentlemen. does he look like an invalid now? He's not a cripple he works every day and has three sons who work!'
 Mrs. Nadolny, owner of an apart ment building opposite the Cianci home, said her tenants have threat ened to move out if there arc any more stores in the neighborhood. She told the board she pays S521 year in taxes, more. she believed, than the Ciancis, and felt entitled to protection.
 Nice Tenants, No Children
 II have nice tenants too, no chil dren or anything" Mrs. Nadolny concluded as the board members, most of them fathers of children ex- changed glances and smiled.
 Joseph Luskevich. owner of the building in which Lanske conducts a store, said there are enough busi- ness places in the district and that the Cianci store would reduce the income from his property and re. move the protection he now has.
 Lanske followed Luskevich. Sev~ eral times during his argument he was interrupted by Cianci. who finally rose in a threatening man. ner and advanced toward Lanske until Chairman J. E. Cooper sharply ordered him 10 sit down.
 On motion of Commissioner s. NJ. Davidson, it was voted to deny the petition, which had been presented by Attorney A. S. Aharonian in be- half of Mrs. Cianci.

cluded the entire strip. He told the board the land in question has been vacant for the past 45 years, that it is undesira ble for residences. but that it can be disposed of for light manufacturing.
 Councilman Holmberg reminded him that the district is residential despite the fact that it might be possible to sell for manufacturing. He felt certain. he said that the change would reduce the value of his property. The reason no resi- dences have been establishd in the past 45 years is because the land was in a hollow up to the past few years, Holmberg insisted.
 Commissioner Davidson was not inclined to take action until the plot has been inspected in the light of the protest.

TN the many corridors which fence in the
vibrant arena, the mere choral figures
stroll arm in arm-troopS of young men and
troops of young women, gossiping about dates
and chattering about dances; discussing the
opera season and criticizing some new or old
composition. Backstage many of them stand in
the cowboy costumes of THE Girl of the Gold

lads from Vienna and from Berlin; lads from
Kansas and from the Ghetto; lassies from
Florida and from Ohio and from Naples and
from Paris.
The strollers are intent upon their own lives,
but transplanted into the wings they are pawnS
of the opera. They come from far and near

ton that the MET" stands as the final testing
ground
golden future lies ahead of each one who
can prove that his particular personality and
vocal ability deserve the rich rewards that the
world of opera lavishes on its stars But the
prospect of making such artistic dreams come
true must appear slight, indeed. to the beginner

Many of the younger choral singers, rehears-

they have of the life of an opera singer from
watching finished productions from a gallery

WALKING suddenly from Broadway into

so this is grand OPERA" you find yourself
musing as you pick your way in and out among
where.
For there Is, of course, no point in using
actual scenery and stage sets at a rehearsal
Usually these sets are exceedingly elaborate
and to bother to put them in place would only
mean extra work for the Shifters and the en-
ployment of extra crew. And incidentally
it costs lot of money to have scenery showed
around on a New York stage. The men who
do it have no binding illusions about "art for
arts sake" The wage scale is high and over
time comes higher.
After all one hears about the volatile tenn
permanent OF opera stars, you would think that
there would be many violent objections to re-
hearSlng amid such confusion. Apparently
however, there is not. The girls who go after
high C's in big way and the boys who make
love with impaSSioned song are as willing as
their confreres of the spoken stage to accept
the trials and tribulations that go into the
making of production before its opening
night.
There are however others besides Nine
Rethberg who feel that the atmosphere is not
conducive to real artistry, and that the best
that can be accomplished at rehearsal is a drill
in what might be called the mechanics of op-
cratic production. It Is doubtful If any one
