Trembling and nervous, she
made her bow in big time opera
on January 18. Her family, who
had motored from Kansas City
for the debut, were present to
lead the cheering if needed. The
eyes of the Chicago critics were
on her and their ears were tuned
for sour notes. Was she not
pinch hitting for the renowned
Talley?
To make a long story shorter,
the 21-year-old soprano scored a
triumph. The Chicago Tribune
clocked the ovation after her
"Caro Nome" solo as lasting SIX
minutes. 1t was a greater ova-
ton than that given to Marion
Talley on January 8.
This is the same Rosemarle
Brancato who will sing in "Rigo-
letto" with the San Carlo Opera
Company at tomorrow's matinee
at the National Theater. They
changed the program from Mar

Gilda as Fortune Gallo's guest
star.
The odd thing about all of this
is that the Brancato and the
Talley families lived three doors
apart in Kansas City. Rose
marie's sister, Florence, was
Marion Talley's school chum.

full season on broadway.
I think Hepburn, Ethel Barry

and Nazimova in 1.-THE Good
Earth" would have made thous-
ands more if they had forgotten
all about Broadway. The road,
less critical, would have furnished
more eager audiences than blase
New York for these attractions.
The concentrated barrage of un-
friendly notices in the dailieS,
weeklieS and monthlies' which a
New York engagement inspires is
fatal for any play with a vein of
Shoddy.

HEARING CALLED.

Hearings to determine reason

minimum bus fares between New
York and Washington and over
other routes were scheduled by
the IRA today for october 10.
Deputy Administrator c. P. Clark
will preside.
The schedules had been drawn
up by the code authority for the
motor bus industry and approved
by the administration. The NeVins
Transit Company and the Seven
States Transit Company, accord
ing to the NRA, protested the
rates and appealed to the Indus
trial Appeals Board, claiming the
code authority did not have full
information when the rates were
fixed.
The board heard the appeal,
and in its opinion, announced to-
day, refused to pass at this time
on the new evidence submitted by
the Nevin company, but recon-
mended that such evidence be
considered at public hearing at
which all interested parties could
appear.

Cammerer Active
Meanwhile, Arno B. Cammerer,
director of National Park Serv-
ice, was bending every effort
toward action on a grant OF
100000 for the remodeling OF
the old Patent Office Building
and the removal of the steps
leading to the F Street entrance
Of the building.
With these changes in the
structure of the building a COM
prehensive program for the wild.
ening of the street and complete
elimination of traffic congestion
there can be carried out.
Asks PWA Funds
Mr.. Cammerer has formally re-
quested the funds from the Pub
lie Works Administration, but the
request, although not denied, has
not yet been acted upon. Con-
sideration of the grant of these
funds must be made by the Spe-
cial board of PWA before any &C
ton can be taken. Federal Of
ficials said today that some &C.
ton in the matter is expected
to take place within two weeks.
If the request for the 100000
is definitely denied, Mr.. Cam
merer, authorized by the Ma
tional Capital PARK and Plan
ming Commission, will take up
consideration of another plan for
the widening of F Street. This
is the plan submitted by Capt.
H. C. Whitehurst, of the District
Department, and in.
wolves the expenditure of $4,000
of the Districts funds.

PARENTS ASK

Protesting that, under the pres
ent arrangement their children
have to go too far to school, a
group of about Is families in the
Sydenstricker area of Fairfax
county appeared before the county
school board yesterday to ask
that the one-room school in that
district be reopened.
The committee suggested that
it might be possible to throw
the school open to the first four
grades and that more advanced
pupils could be sent to Burke
School. No decision was reached
by the board yesterday, but Mrs.
L. I. Dolph, trustee of the Lee
Jackson district, and w. T. Wood
son, division superintendent of
schools, were appointed to study
the matter, and were given au-
thority to act for the board along
whatever lines their investigation
warranted.
The board also voted to send
$500 to the State department Of
health to aid in financing dental
clinics which are held in schools
every year.
