In E0en the Finest opera Houses Strange
Upsets Occur During Performances,
Which Calls for Quick Thinking From
Those on the Stage to A0ert FarcicaI End
mgs Of Great 7ragedies

Tito, we hear you sing songs and arias, but We
are too old to 90 to far-off America and hear
you in opera"
The outcome was that one Summer sang in
and managed q six week. opera season at
Lecce, so they might hear me. The principals
were from America and Italy, the chorus was
made up of men and women with whom had
played when we were children, the orchestra
was brought from La Scala Opera in Milan.
On the opening night all of Lecce that could
not get into the theater were massed outside.
Everything went as if on CREASED wheels. Not
so, however, in the next performance.
To alternate with me in leading roles had
engaged a dramatic tenor. He should have
been an archeologist. Lecce is an ancient city
standing within high walls that have resisted
centuries. The dramatic tenor, fascinated with
antiquities, could scarcely stop his exploring for
rehearsals
He was cast for the title role in Andrea
Chenier," our second presentation That night
reached the theater an hour before the OPEN
ing curtain. My tenor had not yet arrived.
Fifteen, 20. 80 minutes passed. Still no tenor.
Terror seized me. Inquiry at his hotel proved
he had left that afternoon at o'clock and
had not been seen since. The role Of Andrea
Chenier was not in my repertory, so could not
sing IN his place. Already the audience was
streaming IN.
By that time pretty well excited and
so was everybody else backstage. The tenor
was a stranger in Leece; few knew him by
sight So had to send some other singers
of the company out TO look for him. 1 had
already sent one man to the cathedral thinking
he might have been locked in there when they
closed it for the night
Meanwhile, the clocks hands seemed to jump.
It lacked only two minutes of the opening time
when the tenor staggered IN He had been
studying tombstones in the cemetery outside
Leeces walls, returning to the city through
the wrong gate and couldn't md the theater.
That learned later. At the moment there
was only time to stun him into Andrea Che
nieris coat. Wearing that and flannel trousers
baggy at the knees. he went out and sang the
first act Of the opera.
AST January / had the most disquieting
experience. II came at the gala per-
Torrance given at Romes new royal opera
during the marriage celebration of Crown
Prince Humbert and Princess Marie Jose.

FOOD AND SLEEP
STRENGTHEN TAFT
Physicians, However, Have
Not Relaxed Vigilance
Over Former Justice.

Much sleep, partially induced by medi-
clnes, and more food had put William
Howard Taft in better condition today,
but, nevertheless, his physicians did not
relax their vigilance.
Physicians, in an official bulletin at
1870 am. today, said that he was con-
tinuing to improve. It was added that
Mr.. Taft was taking more nourish-
ment and was comfortable.
The text of the bulletin follows:
The Chief Justice continues to I'M
prove. He is taking more nouriShment
and is comfortable. Signed, DR.. Thomas
A. Clayton and DR.. Francis r. Hagner' -
Mr.. Taft spoke for a few minutes
this morning to his brother Horace,
VINO arrived at the house early in the
day.
The attending physicians. although
encouraged by the former Chief Jus
tees improvement, would not commit
themselves as to whether this change
In his condition would continue. They
were confident, however, that for the
present at least the difficulties en-
countered over having him take nour-
ishment were passed.
Mrs. Taft, following the custom she
has observed since returning with her
husband from Asheville, N. c., took a
brief drive during the morning.
Almost simultaneous with the encour-
aging word from the Taft bedside, the
House today adopted a resolution ex-
pressing its profound regret over the
illness of the prominent American. A
resolution along the same lines was
adopted yesterday by the Senate.
The House resolution was offered by
Representative Bankhead, Democrat,
Alabama. 1t expressed "a hope and
prayer" that the Chief Justice may soon
be restored to health.
Some difficulty had been experienced
by the physicians in feeding the patient,
but he took food more easily yesterday
afternoon, and after long sleeps, en-
couraged by the medicines administered,
all bulletins that came from the sick
room we're favorable.
During one of his periods of wakeful-
ness, Mr.. Taft recognized and spoke to
two of the house servants. He asked for
Nellie" as he calls Mrs. Taft, and she
came into the room and chatted with
him for some time.
This bulletin, as are all that come
from the sick room, was delivered first
to the White House, which transmitted
it to the various news agencies. Presi-
dent Hoover has been keenly interested
in watching the progress of his old
friend, upon whom he called at the first
mark of improvement in his condition
several days ago.
Few callers besides the President have
been permitted to see the patient, but
the associate justices of the Supreme
Court, with whom he worked for so
long, and his numerous other friends
have kept In close touch with his con-
dition.
isfactory pulse and the rally the "a
year-old jurist has made in the last two
days, there has come no indication from
his physicians that they regard that he
had passed a crisis.
