suffered in scope on account OF that
In this dramatic opera OF verdi's. the
interest is chiefly divided between
Rigoletto and Gilda with the Duke
and the bandit and his sister pro-
viding the more baneful elements
Photo, in the title role, sustained his
part In excellent style and used his
powerful voice to good advantage in
spite Of tendency to sing off pitch at
times. His voice has not SUFFICIENT
warmth to move one greatly at the
emotional moments nor did he take
advantage OF all the dramatic pos
sibilities which the role Offers but, on
the whole, it was well-rounded per-
Torrance.
Miss Grazzini, who sang the role
Of Gilda for the first time, was some
what hampered on account of this,
perhaps. Her voice is small but sweet
toned, with the range and agility
which the music demands. The Caro-
Nome" aria was the most noteworthy
Of her evenings work and she was
enthusiastically acclaimed at the finish
The character Of her voice, which
lacks brilliancy, did not blend well
with that Of Pilottos in their scenes
together nor keep an even division Of
the tonal volume. Her singing, how
ever. had musicianly finish and the
audience enjoyed it.
The gay and frivolous Duke has sel-
dom had a better interpreter than
Ralph Errole. There was less of
bravura and more Of an insinuating
quality in his portrayal throughout,
which was just as effective as some of
the more strenuous interpretations
Nor did he allow himself an overuse
OF high fortissimo tones, but varied
them with softer effects which brought
out the fine beauty of his tenor voice.
His singing of the first act aria and
La Donna e Mobile" were warmly
received.
Anne Yago McGuffey brought con-
siderable vivacity to the part Of
Maddalena In the last act and speeded
up the tempo Of the opera, which had
moved a little too liesurely, to the
climax Of the famous quartet Her
voice and acting gave color to the
scene. which was one Of the excellent
bits Of the opera. The role Of spara-
fucile and other smaller roles were
capably filled.

It enjoyed every minute of this unique
opportunity to hear opera and did its
part In making the venture success.
The company was composed of we'll
routined singers who, together with
the highly experienced conductor, Full
genzio Guerrieri, put over a perform
ance that moved without hitch. The
role of the Duke was sung by Ralph
Errole, Rigoletto by Angelo Pilotto,
Gilda by Sylvia GraNini, Sparafucile
by Giuseppe Gravina and Maddalena,
his sister, by Anne Yago McGuffey
Of this city. Members of the Metro
politan Opera chorus were the cour-
tiers and attendants and local mu-
sicians in the orchestra played the
opera score like veterans under Macs
tro Guerrieri's authoritative direction.
A charming and gracefully presented
minuet in the first act was danced by
Marian Chace and a group OF her
dancers.
In considering this third attempt
within the last few years to give opera
IN Constitution Hall, three things are
to be considered-the hall itself, the
staging and the performance of the
artists. This very excellently planned
hall, so ideal for many purposes, is
not ideal for opera. The greatest ef-
fort cannot turn the stage into an
operate stage or create more than q
makeshift effect Of the scenes that
have contributed enormously to the
pleasure Of opera when produced In
appropriate surroundings. Every time
one sees the valiant efforts made to
overcome unsurmountable difficulties,
the long-felt need of a proper theater
Is again very evident.
Last evening the scenic director did
IN excellent job OF adapting the un-
wieldy stage to the indoor and out
door sets demanded in the opera. The
doorway in the anti-room Of the
Ducal Palace around which revolves
the intense acting of Rigoletto as he
tries to fnd out If his daughter is In
the next room, could only be imagined,
1t Is true. but regal character of the
palace was cleverly indicated by the
few but well-chosen properties. The
court yard Of Rigoletto's house was
the most skillfully contrived and, to-
gether with the soft lighting conveyed
the picture, more or less as one is ac-
customed to see It,. A few changes
and . few additions and the house Of
the bandit Sparafucile in the last
act took form. As far as was human
~ possible, under the circumstances
the scenic director had fulfilled the
requirements Of the opera in most
commendable manner.

SUPREME COURT
DEBATE ENJOYED.
ROOseveIt's Proposal Fav-
Ored By st. JOsaeph's
Principals

President Roosevelt's supreme
court proposal was favored in a de-
bate at the meeting Of st. Joseph's
Holy Name Society Study club last
night In the Congress avenue school.
The subject was Resolved, that the
Presidents Proposal to Reform the
Supreme Court Be Adopted by Con-
gress". The judges who rendered
the final 80 decision we're Rev.
Benedict Gauronskas, Joseph Wit
kauskas, Peter Ron1anauskas,
August Krisavage and, Joseph Smol-
skis. John r.. Greblunas., president
Of the society, was chairman. ~
The winning negative side includ-
ed Stanley J. Lucas, Anthony Stasi-
unas and Victor SabalauskaS. Mem
bers Of the Affirmative team were
Alfred Waiculonis,; George Adom-
aitis and Raymond N(ilibas.
Principal among the points
brought out by the whining team
were that the presidents proposal
came. about sheerly as the result
Of decisions handed down by the
supreme court that iavalidated the
MIRA, .sAAA, and other new deaf,
laws. "Such impotence on the part
of q person can only bring about
dictatorship" insisted one of the
debaters. 1--WE are a nation of hero
worshipers. We have been hypnot-
lied by the astounding leadership
of our president and are rapidly
Surrendering our former aspirations
of a popular government for de-
cidedly personal government. Con-
gress Is now q mere rubber stamp.
Trying to usurp the constitution and
pack the supreme court can only
end in dictatorship, it was stated.
Affirmative side debaters con-
tended that the. proposal was not
radical and that the issue was
brought up and passed in the times
of such former presidents as john
son, Jackson and Lincoln. 1.-THE
court is too old. inconsistent, and
out Of touch with the realities OF
modern governmental change is
nee6sd," the speakers said.
The debate was followed with an
open discussion in which all mem
bers of the club took part.
Another debate will feature the
meeting of the study group next
Tuesday night at 1880 o'clock. The
topic will be: Resolved: That the
United States Should Keep Pace
with the Other Nations OF the World
in the Building of Armaments.
Now cr,eakers were named for each
side.
They are: Affirmative, Victor Del
mantas, August Krisavage, Alfred
Waiculonis and Anthony Stasiunas;
negative, Stanley J. Lucas, Peter
Romanauskas, Joseph Smolskis and
Joseph Vitkauskas. All parishioners
are invited to attend the meetings
which are held each Tuesday night
from 1880 to 9 o'clock.
