Phillip" For Movies

Louis B. Mayer, of Metro Gold
wyn, looked over Phillip Goes
Forth" which the National Play
ers are doing this week as a
possible starring vehicle for
Robert Montgomery. Then de-
cided the latter was too old for
the part. Playwright George
Kelly who wrote Phillip" is now
on the M-G-M payroll and will
probably assist in preparing his
play for the screen. The juvenile
star for the lead role has not yet
been selected.
Opera gave most of the Fox
Theater staff a three-day vaca-
ton. Managing director Idzal
went to New York for a division
managers meeting, Leon Brush
off visited his brother, a New
York radio maestro, and Helene
Kearney, head of the dancing
school, went to Atlanta for a
brief visit. Norman E. DAILY
pianist for the dancing classes
decided to take the time off fol-
a honeymoon. He married Nellie

Mrs. Earle Dorsey, who has
charge of this immense ticket
sale for Mrs. Wilson-G -Greene's
office, was among those present
at the premiere.
The society crowd was beyond
control of the military usher
personnel and for the first time
smoking was enjoyed beyond the
confines of the usually restricted
smoking rooms. Not until today
will the cigarette stub damage be
estimated on the expensive lobby
carpets.
The Fox Theater likes to refer
to audiences such as assembled
last night as 'billion dollar
crowds" That is, the income tax
blanks of those present if placed
end to end might indicate this
wealth. Stomachers, pearl ropes,
lavellieres, hair ornaments, hand
baubles and miscellaneous would
have added up to more than a
million, not to mention the lavish
display of ermine wraps, opera
cloaks and just plain furs.

Somebody should give the police
a lesson in handling opera-crowd
traffic. The jam last night from
8 to 8:45 seemed inexcusable with
the bluecoat detail at Fourteenth
and F Streets being particularly
weak on signals and only adding
to the confusion. It was exactly
9:20, and near the end of the first
act curtain before the last of the
delayed customers found their
seats.
Lobbies between the acts we're
turned into photograph studios
while camera men snapped the
notables. 1t was the first time
that the new flash bulbs were
used on a MET" audience and
they proved a big improvement
over the antiquated flash pans.
William j. Guard, chief of the
Nets publicity forces, greeted old
and new customers for the fifth
season at the main entrance.
Jeritza got the only during-the-
performance bow permitted after
her first-act exit. Doesn't this
violate one of the Gatti-Cazazza
rules of stage etiquette?
The Fox is a bit proud of the
handsome curtain which the
Metropolitan Opera Company
was permitted to use. It cost
$4,000 and is used very rarely
for regular performances. In
other words it is reserved for
company" incidentally the first
act scenery for "Tosca" is a
rather shabby exhibit for a COM
pany like the Metropolitan.
Tosca is a famous role, Nellie
Melba, Geraldine Farrar, Emmy
Destinn and Frances Aida being
among the great of other days
who have sung it. Famous Marios
have been Giovanni Martinelli,
Scotti, Beniamino Gigli and, of
course, Caruso.

his duets with Jeritza. The tenor
was in rare voice and equally
effective as an actor.
Lawrence Tibbett took his de-
parture from the scene after the
tragic second act finale wherein
the knife of Tosca reaches the
heart of the sinister Scarpia. But
it is a busy second act for Mr..
Tibbett. To one who likes this
singer in the clustering and more
heroic roles which permit a
wider range for a magnificent
voice, "Tosca" is not the ideal
Tibbett vehicle nor is he the
ideal villain. This is not dis.
paragement for his effort except
as indicating a preference for the
more flamboyant Tibbett. He was
singing it, incidentally, for the
first time. His Cantabalie di
Scarpia was beautifully sung and
impressive indeed was his vocal
monologue against the TIE Deum
background.

'T0SCA' OPENS
GAY OPERA
SEASON

Cultured Washington turned
out in pomp and brilliance last
night for the opening of the
three performance season of the
Metropolitan Opera Company
with Puccini's La Tosca" as the
first attraction.
There was something of a
Hollywood aspect to the premiere.

Brilliant Spectacle
Inside the theater the scene

the Fox were filled with figures

members of the Cabinet, the Su-
preme Court, diplomats, debu-
tantes and mere music lovers.
Every seat in the ample-sized
Fox auditorium was occupied,
although traffic congestion was
such that the "Te Deum" of the
first act was we'll under way be-
fore late arrivals found their
reservations.
Trio of Stars
"Ta Tosca," while not the
most musical Of Puccini's operas,
offered auspicious vocal oppor-
tunity for three of the Metropol-
tan favorites, the lovely Maria
Jeritza as Floria Tosca, the ro-
bust Lawrence Tibbett as the vii
famous Scarpia and the glorious
tenor of Glacomo Lauro1-Volpl as
the harassed and unhappy Mario.
Founded upon the gruesome
play by Sardou, "Tosca" is fre-
Quently listed with the acting
operas since its rather tragic
theme makes equally as vigorous
acting demands upon the trio of
major principals as it does for
voice quality. Stimulated by an
audience which was enthusiastic
in it's acclaim, Jeritza gave what
might be described as an inspired

LOSSES FROM HOG CHOL-
ERA REDUCED

Maryland, in 1880, experience
ed it's most satisfactory year, SO
far as hog cholera is concern
ed since this work was started
in 1917, according to the annual
report recently issued by DR..
Mark Welsh, Acting Inspector
in Charge of Hog Cholera
Work in this State. TIe states
that only 219 cases were re-
ported during the year in con-
trast with 334 in 1929 and an
eleven-year average of SOS.
Approximately 25 per cent of
the outbreaks were in garbage
feeding plants and u percent
of all hogs involved were in
such places.
For years Maryland officials
have strongly urged the impor-
lance Of sanitary measures in
the care Of hogs as a means for
reducing the toll taken by
cholera, DR.. Welsh says, and he
believes that the records Of the
last few years furnish substan-
tial evidence that efforts along
this line are proving effective.
He points out that prevalence
OF cholera in the hog-raising
states of the Middle West is
usually forerunner of heavy
losses in Maryland, due to the
fact that so large a per centage
OF the cases in this State are
caused by the feeding of in
fected garbage. The fact that
so small a number of cases oc-
Cured in Maryland in 1880, in
spite of reports that at least
five of the principal hog-rais-
ing states were experiencing
more cholera than in 1929, is
he believes, evidence that real
progress is being made in con-
troll of the disease in Maryland.
The report shows that 80
per cent of the primary out
breaks were due to the feeding
OF infected pork in garbage.
table scraps, or kitchen refuse.
Ii complete data could be OBJ
tanned, it is stated, there is rea-
son to believe that virtually
every outbreak of the disease
in Maryland during 1880 could
be traced directly or Indirectly
to the feeding of infected pork
In other words, the loss OF
more than 1900 hogs suffered
by growers could have been
prevented by not feeding or
carrying to the hogs in some
way, the germs of the disease.

THE CECIL FARMERS CLUB
February Meeting Held At The
Home OF Geo. B. McKeOwn

The Cecil Farmers C''::.b was
called to order by Pres. 7. aben
Reynolds at the home .,f Geo.
B. McKeoWn on the 18th of
Feb. The following members
responded to roll call: Carroll
E. Tyson, John S. Cullen, A. H.
Mendenhall, Martin L. Thomp-
son, Reuben Reynolds, Clar-
ence D. Cullen, John E. Lippin-
colt, Geo. B. McKeown, Joseph
Mendenhall, Lloyd Balderston,
and County Agent J. 2. Miller,
F. w. Oldenburg, Extension
Agronomist, were also present.
Minutes of the last meeting
were read and approved.
The committee appointed to
make plans for the proper pres
ervation of our old minute book
was continued.
Mr.. Reynolds then called for
experiments, and Martin l..
Thompson reported that lie had
fall plowed one half of a seven
acre field to see if it would
make any difference to the
amount of damage done to corn
by insects, especially the heart
worm.
Several of our members re-
ported that they had been able
to keep the manure hauled out
much better this winter than
usual, owing to the dry, open
winter.
Wood cutting was also a SUBJ
ject of much discussion. Clar-
ence Cullen said he had cut a
large beech tree which was too
cross grained to split. He plans
to leave it until next winter to
see if twill open then.
Clarence Cullen reported a
marked pig in his fattening
herd had gained 20 lbs. in Sd
days from an initial weight of
SS pounds.
Jos. Mendenhall reported he
IS much pleased with the corn
sllage he is feeding from his
new silo. He considers it an
economical milk producer.
Lloyd Balderston reported he
had just completed filling a
new elevated grain bin with a
car OF schelled corn. The ele-
waiting was speedily and effic-
iently done by means of an en-
sllage cutter blower. He re-
ported that he had sold a car
load of his Johnson Co. White
Corn to a seed firm for seed.
j. z. Miller then reported
that the first annual Farm Bu-
reau banquet was to be held in
the Armory at Elkton, on Feb.
24th. He also said that the
Dairy Improvement Associa-
ton would hold a get together
dinner on March 9Th.
