FRANCES AIDA WILL
PUBLISH BIOGRAPHY
Will Describe Glamour, Ro-
nance and Tragedy in Lives
Of Opera Stars

The glamour, romance and tragedy
Of the lives Of many Of the most ia
nous figures In grand opera during
the past three decades, as well as
many HILARIOUS incidents Of back stage
life at the Metropolitan, La Scala
and other big opera houses, will be
described IN the autobiography which
Madame Frances Aida is writing.
It may not be published, however,
for many years. Much of the material
IS explosive, and the famous diva,
whose glorious voice Is now heard in
song recitals over an NBC network,
including KTYR Of Bismarck, re-
fuses to embarrass her friends.
Madame Aida was an intimate and
co-star with Melba, Fremstadt, Sem
brich, Caruso, Massenet. Bizet. Nor
dica and other noted operate lumin-
aries, and today numbers among her
close friends such well-known must
cal leaders as Toscanini, Gatti. Amato,
Richard Strauss and many others. She
appeared opposite the great Caruso
probably more times than any other
star.
In addition to possessing one Of the
few really great voices Of all time,
Aida Is noted for her keen sense Of
humor, and her stories Of the famed
and near-famed In opera always are
In demand at parties at which she Is
guest. Friends who have been
given peek at the first pages Of the
autobiography chuckle as they recall
her style and her anecdotes.
Madame Aida will be heard for
several more weeks In her Tuesday
evening programs over NBC networks
and will then 60 to her beautiful
estate, Casa Mia, on Long Island
Sound for the summer.

JOHN F0GARTY HAS
HORSE-DOC HOBBY
N6c Tenor Some Day Plans to
Retire Amid Animals on
Montana Ranch

John Fogarty. NBC tenor, has
fought in France, travelled the coun-
try In vaudeville and Gone most Of
his radio singing in the east, but from
the days Of his boyhooc he's been
true westerner, with the westerner's
love for dogs and horses.
Fogarty's experience with horses
began rather inauspiciously In Great
Falls. Mont. when as boy he first
climbed into the saddle The horse
promptly threw him but he strug-
gled back into the saddle and stuck
to the job until he could ride like
any cowboy. Since radio has brought
him to the big cities he hasn't had
much opportunity to ride. but he likes
nothing better than to watch the
ponies at the racetrack.
Dogs, too. aren't exactly compatible
with urban existence, but he owns a
|prize-winning pack Of pointers.
And when he finally abandons radio
and a public life-and he says that
will be years hence-he's going to re-
tire on q Montana ranch, surrounded
BY horses and dogs.

tant things in life That Is what I
hope Betty and I shall be able to do.
I'll admit Hollywood makes me
dizzy. Things happen so suddenly
and unexpectedly. 1 go around in a
constant state of beWilderment, won-
dering what the next day will bring.
1 think that most young actors and
actresses experience that feeling. In
the midst of all the confusion, mar
rage and home and family are the
stability to which you can cling.
think that, instead of fearing mar
rage, young people should seek it.
Betty and I had known each other
since grammar school days. We would
have been married in the natural
course of events no matter what my
business had been. I can't understand
why we should have any greater cause
for worry about the future because I
am an actor than we would if we're
still clerk in a stock brokers office
or a bank.
OF course, since Betty is a non-pro-
fessional, our life will be lived under
the same conditions that the average
young couple lives. can understand
how difficulties might arise where the
wife was an actress with a career of
her own. But. then. I suppose, the
same difficulties might arise if the
wife were a school teacher. After all,
the average man has an inherent de-
sire to be the breadwinner, the head
Of the household.
A few years ago they used to say
that wives and children were a detri-
ment to the popularity of young ac-
tors who wanted to play romantic roles.
But all that has changed now. Almost
every leading man or featured player
on the screen today is married. Ac-
tors are just ordinary men and they
want home and domestic happiness
as every one else does
And what an impetus a wife and
baby can bel Carol Anne is only 7
weeks old, but 1t would be impossible
for me to measure the increase in my
ambition since her birth. The future
has taken on a new importance for
me. And that is important in Holly
wood where it is so easy to live from
day to day because the tomorrows are
so uncertain.
