Crowd AppIauds
GisIi, Noted
Opera Star

Washington music lovers, going
without even the short week of
the Metropolitan Opera formerly
afforded them, clutched at and
swallowed eagerly the lovely frag-
ments tossed them by the Metro
politans leading tenor, Beniamino
Gigli, in Constitution Hall yester-
day afternoon.
And Gigli, graciously, did all
that one artist could to safe their
appetiteS as he sang encore after
encore until the eleven numbers
that he had set out to sing had
grown to 18.
From the audiences stand
point. the familiar aria from
aida" "Se Quel Guerrier 10
Fossi" was his best number. In
it he had ample opportunity to
display the wide range, the tonal
quality of his voice, sometimes
muted and sometimes swelling to
fill the huge auditorium.
From the standpoint of the dra-
matte singer however, he was at
his best in the tragic aria from
"Iuisa Miller" lesser known
opera of Verdi. Here was the
voice weighted down with pathos,
a voice struggling to keep back the
sob. and here was Gigli at his
best.
Gigli shared honors with Miss
,Jaoueline Salomons, violinist, who
was at her best in the airy an
dante movement of Handel's
Sonata in A Major and in the
bizarre piece En- Forme de He
banera" of RaVel.
Both artists were accompanied
by Miguel Sandoval, at the piano.

Why Worry?
(New York Herald Tribune)

(New York Herald Tribune)
 Theoretically at least the Republican party is an organization that decides for itself the attitude it should take toward political issues Yet learns with surprise that certain it's dry spokeSmen have been in negotiation with the prohibition lobby in Washington respecting the liquor plank it should adopt at its national convention According to Ed win C. Dinwddie, secretary of the National Prohib- tion Board of Strategy, all Republican attempts to arrive at compromise this point with the pro fessional prohibitionists have broken down. As if such compromise either possible or desrable!
 Who are these paid fanatics of the prohibition cause that responsible Republicans, whether repre- sentatves of the Administration not, should seek their counsel and support? Half of them if not more are Southern Democrats Their organization is frankly dedicated to Republican defeat when ever that is calculated to advance their objective They have interest in the partys political tor- tunes except in so far these may be manipulated to cement the dry grip the national throat. Ne goaton with them is not only futile but far beneath the dignity of the Republican prestige and heritage
 Granted that the party is split on the prohibition issue its only erespecing course is to consult the sentiment within it's ranks as expressed by the majority vote of it's delegates next June II that vote is dry let it incorporate dry plank in it's plat form If it is wet let it go record for repeal If desire for harmony prevails let it register It's Will lingness to abide by a popular referendum as pro- vided for in the Constitution.
 The last it seems to us would be the best course. resubmssion plank, calling for ratification or re- lection of repeal by state conventions should satlsIy every one wet or dry, who believes that what the lpeople want should be the law of the land The dry professionals will fight any such solution, of course They are interested not in what the peo- ple want but in the perpetuation of their detauon They would be left to their own deVlces Wmle party which stands for popular rule which is ground ed in the principles of democracy at the foundation of American institutions insists on their asseVera- tion.
