The Hope Diamond, which
has returned to its home in
Washington after attending the
Louis-Schmeling prize fight, will
probably spend the summer in
Newport.
In brief, the colorful Evalyn
Walsh Mclean, owner of the
famous gem-dandy, without
which she never appears in pub
lie or private, has practically de-
cided to open her Newport
house, By-the-Sea. The house,
which has been closed for years,
is being opened by it's owner
because she wishes her only
daughter, Evalyn. to spend her
debutante summer there.
Her business affairs in Wash
ington are the cause of the if
and-whens of Mrs. McLean's
plans. But she is working
furiously to clear them up be-

fore the Newport season gets
fully under way.
No other spot in America can
give a debutante quite such
eclat and send-off as Newport.
Tall, slim, blonde and attractive
Evalyn, jr., apparently is to have
both.
1t seems doubtful whether the
senior Evalyn, true daughter of
a Western proSpector who
struck 1t rich, would bother with
Newport this summer If she
didn't feel she owed this New.
port prestige to her daughter.
To put it mildly, Mrs. Mclean
is not the Newport type and, I
have hunch. would rather die
than be in that category. Out
spoken, individualistic and car.
ing not a fig for society any
more, she'll be a stiff dose for
the Newport dowagers. But
Newport will certainly be the
more interesting and the livelier
for her glittering presence.
Newport adores large debut
tante\balls in August. And Mrs.
McLean's plans for her Newport
stay calls for new one in honor
of her not-yet-17-year-old daugrr
ter. It'll be a lallapaloosa-
she doesn't entertain on any
other scale.
What's more, young Evalyn
seems to be destined to be one
of the glamour girls of the 1898.

lights of the winter season in
Washington will be another

FAMED OPERA STAR, RETURNING TO AMERICA,
FINDS SWING FAILS TO WIN HIS APPROVAL

twice extended, and though miss my
wife. from whom am separated for
the first time In Is years, I am getting
q big kick out of association with
my brother-.n-law, who is having
the time Of his life and who says he
doesn't care II he never goes home.
While negotiations had been
started toward my return to the
Metropolitan Opera, the contract
was not settled on my arrival in
September and went directly to
San Francisco to sing in the opera
house there. En- route I stopped ut
Detroit for broadcast for the Ford
Motor Co.
This broadcast was, in many ways,
, an extremely important occasion for
me. Would old friends remember
me, I wondered? Would changing
audiences be interested? received
my answer in thousands of letters.
1t was q warm sensation.
My first role at San Francisco was
Andrea Chenier," Giordano's ex-
citing opera, which has always been
one of my favorites. La Fora del
Destino" and La Boheme" came
later in the series and then Martha"
with its well-loved airs, and such q
reception as have never had III all
my years in music.
| 1t was interesting to sing in opera
In Los Angeles because found 30
many old associates of earlier Metro
politan days living in the movie
capital. I had several fine screen
offers which I am now considering.
Such entertainments as we had
in Hollywood! used to 60 home
early, but my brother-in- law was
always last to leave. DR.. Marafioti,
the voice teacher, old friend of
Caruso's, gave a great party at his
house with its collection of Caruso
souvenirs, including Caruso's own
bust of himself as "Pagliacci." Mel
son Eddy was there and we sang
the duet from La Fora del Des-
tino"
sang my way back across the
country, stopping of in such inter-
esting cities as Spokane, Vancouver.
Salt Lake City and Toronto, where
had never appeared before.
BY this time my contract with the
Metropolitan was settled and was
extremely happy about it. look
forward to singing again with old
comrades and for old friends. For
many reasons this is my happiest
year in music.
