began the spectacularly success
full London engagement.
But her brightest glories were
in New York. She came over IN
1883. after audiences had &C
claimed her in st. Petersburg,
Madrid, Warsaw and Moscow;
after StengeI, who had loved her
since her childhood, had married
her.
Henry E. Abbey's company was
going to open the new Metropol-
itan Opera House, and he engaged
her as coloratura soprano.
She made her debut at Is on
the second night of the season,
Oct. "a, in Lucia" and that was
a dark time. She had anticipated
a welcome and New York sat on
its hands.
"Her success was not at all
commensurate with her artistic
excellence" w. J. Henderson wrote
a long while later, simply because
the public did not know what to
make of singing which combined
such purity of style with purity OF
tone; but before the end of the
season, in which she sang Elvlra,
Zerlina, Violetta and Ophelia,
she had won the undying affec-
lions of all the connoisseurs."
Still, the season was disastrous.
Mr.. Abbey had to invite the pub
lie to a benefit performance.
rTHEN Sembrich was COM
Il pensated for the dismal be-
ginning.
She was advertised to play a
violin concerto by De Beriot and it
was expected this would be merely
the prima donna's caprice, re-
quiring only the audiences good
humored indulgence. She turned
it into peculiar triumph.
After the violin solo drew twelve
curtain calls, she sat down at the
piano and played Chopin noe
turne. The audience was clamor-
GUS. She gave it another surprise.
Sweeping to a climax in tripar-
tite performance unparalleled in
New York, she sang "Ah, non
giunge" from LA Sonnambula."

Democratic Nominee Also Is
Leading in National
Count.

Roosevelt gained a slight lead
over Hoover in the second weeks
returns from eleven states in the
Literary Digest's presidential straw
vote, according to returns published
this week in the magazine.
The Democratic nominee forged
ahead of President Hoover in Indi-
ana, but the lead is small. The
second weeks vote from the state
gives Roosevelt 1881 against 1899
for President Hoover.
Total vote from the eleven states
reported is Roosevelt, 102,185, and
Hoover, 100,323.
The Indiana vote shows that of
the 1899 cast for Hoover, 2,673 came
from those who voted Republican
in 1928 and 255 from former Demo-
Gratis. He also gets 3 Socialist votes,
l Socialist Labor, l Prohibition and
Communist.
Roosevelt's vote of S,951 came
from 1895 Democrats of 1928, 1860
Republicans, three Socialists and
two ProhibitioniStS.
The Republican poll also gave the
vote of 465 who did not vote in 1928;
while the Democrats gained 5S8 who
did not vote.

Mr.. Abbey's failure, though, sent
her back to Europe, and it was
not until Nov. 80, 1888, that she re-
turned as prima donna, singing
RoSina in RoSsini's I'll Barber di
Siviglia,' to become a bright per-
ennial of the Metropolitan in two
centuries.
BY that time she was a world
figure, the little Polish girl grown
plumper, but with the same glow
ing eyes and the delicate, sensi-
tive mouth.
The favor of Europe'S capitals
was hers. She owned a mansion
in Dresden. Royalty deferred to
her. Her repertoire was pro-
digious. She sang in ten Ian
guages.
Her forte. was comedy, though
she did not shun all the operate
tragedies, and in the pure art of
bel canto the critics put no one
beside her.
Professor Stengel was her man

death of their two children. He

more graciously in what regard it
held her than in any of her other

AS her farewell she arranged a
kind of old home night program
for opera lovers-an act from each
of three operas, with the must
cally great of that time as her
companions behind the footlights.

ONE HOPE RAY is SEEN
Macdonald and Parliament

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Seripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON. Sept. 3O.-The
shake-up in the British cabinet OF
Premier Ramsay Macdonald is in
terpreted here as portending both
good and evil.
1t tends 10 leave the conserva-
tives more solidly intrenched in
power than ever, at time when
Europe admittedly is drifting back
ward-toward conditions even worse
than they were in early 1914.
The problem Of disarmament, now
before a special committee at &C.
neva, will become more difficult. The
Tories hold that, regardless Of what
other nations may do, Britain must
maintain her own navy at its pres
ent size.
The Chino-J Japanese conflict in
Manchuria shortly will come up for
settlement at Geneva, and the con-
servatives additionally are reluc-
tant to do anything which might Of
fend Japan.
No Parliament Opposition
Relations between Germany and
France VIGOROUSLY are worse today
than at any time since the occupa-
ton of the Ruhr, and the Tories,
by siding with France, apparently
are disposed to renew something
akin to the old and dangerous Euro
pean balance of power.
France is reported busy at her
old policy of "isolating" Germany.
Unhampered by the presence of
Liberals or Laborites of particularly
fighting character in the English
cabinet, the Tories are expected to
do nothing to mitigate this peril.
AS against these apparent draw
backs, it is pointed out that the
present government of Great Britain
has had no real opposition in parlia-
ment.
Snowden Accuses Tories
Hereafter, it is thought, whole
some parliamentary opposition will
be resumed, at first against the OF
tawa trade agreements and later
on policies in general.
The continued presence in the
cabinet, however, of Premier Mac
Donald, Laborite, is expected to
have moderating influence upon
his Tory associates. Macdonald has
said if they try to put anything
over on him. he is mot their man"
But the retiring Viscount Snow
den openly charged that the To-
rieS already were using" the Liber-
ais and Laborites in the cabinet
to further their own ends, and gave
this as his reason for resigning.
Macdonald May Resign
The present rift in the non-party
government at London is taken to
meEn that Premier Macdonald.
himself, soon may feel the neces-
sity to follow Snowden and resign.
The Conservatives last November
came in on the biggest landslide
ever recorded in Britain. They won
All states in parliament, leaving
only So for the Liberals and Is for
the Laborites.
The moment, therefore, the con-
servatives feel the national crisis,
which gave rise to the present Goa
lition cabinet, is past, they can pro-
coed unaSsisted under their own
steam.

The Metropolitan was damned.
"All the opera lovers in New York,
it seemed, were there to bid good
by" the World said. Not an inch
of standing room was unoccu-
pied"
BY popular subscription $4,000
had been raised to buy her a pearl
necklace and a jeweled watch.
But the night thereafter was
the great one, the one to make
Polish singer choke and forget a
pat speech. Then the musical
artists of America, not the public,
said goodby.
In the Hotel Astor there was a
gay dinner. Sembrich cried lit
tie and laughed a great deal.
Paderewski, enthusiastic in
quaint, cramped English, told her
she was the most musical of all
the singers he had ever heard.
H. E. Krehbiel said she was a
vocal sunbeam-no less-and Ca
russo, Damrosch and Emma Eames
toasted her.
That night was Sembrich's last
in the world of opera. But she
did not slip at once into the shad-
ows.
For years afterward she was a
consumn1ate concert artist up and
down two continents, "the SUI
preme exponent of bel canto."
In later years she has lived at
her great estate at Lake George,
teaching there in summer. and in
winter teaching here at the JUL
lard Musical Foundation. Among
her pupils have been Marion Tai
ley, Alma Gluck and Drusalina
Giannini.
