discomfort, partly due to a tendency

ROSE hampton
WINS OVATION
IN OPERA HERE
Performance Delayed
By Difficulties
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

Rose hampton made her long
heralded appearance as dra-
matte soprano under difficult
ties last night in Constitution
Hall. The more credit, then,
that she sang gorgeously and
won an ovation from a weary
and irritated public.
The presentation was the
opera I'll Trovatore," by the
New York Grand Opera Com
pany.
While the audience fretted for
the better part of an hour be-
fore the house went dark and
the footlights showed Fernando
and the soldiers chorus, art
artists backstage retained their
calm with growing difficulty.
Why the delay? They had been
paid. Were there more money
troubles?
BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE
It seemed there was an argyll
ment with the chorus who de-
manded pay for tonight's per-
Torrance id Baltimore; but that
did not ease the nerves and
tempers of the waiting singers.
Finally some one went on and
explained to the audience that
a tenor brought from New York
to replace Sidney Rayner had
just arrived and the perform
ance might begin.
When it started the per-
Torrance moved brilliantly and
with routined certainty through
the well-worn tunes. Miss
hampton seems destined to be as
famous as a dramatic soprano as
she was during her exciting
career as a contraltc. She is
one of the few young singers
who seems to have had the sort
of schooling about which the
elder generation talks.
REMARKABLE VOICE
She has been and still is a
coloratura; which is to say that
her facility has not been Sacri'
feed to the brilliance and power
that have been developed in the
voice. AS a contralto she was
remarkable for the dark, rich
timbre of her voice. AS a dra.
matte soprano she has kept that
asset. So it is not remarkable
that the public found her a
satisfying and stimulating
artist.
Her supporting cast was ex.
cellent. Jesus De Gavriria. the
tenor who replaced Rayner,
proved routined in his role, the
possessor of a warm, somewhat
open, but powerful voice. Carlo
Morelli, South American bari
tone, is one of the Metropoli-
tan's most eminent baritones.
The Azucena was Miss Grace
Angelau, who was the attractive
Suzuki of the foregoing evening.
Nino Ruisi put over Fernando's
scene and aria with a zeSt that
set the pace of the evening; and
If the chorus or the orchestra
had reasons to be dissatisfied
with life at the moment, no
hint of that trouble sounded IN
their song.

FRANCIS LEDERER
 IN PLAY FEATURED
 ATL0CAL THEATRE
lone Wolf in Paris" Ends Tonight on Screen
 al Capitol

Bringing to the screen one of the gayest and most exciting romantic comedies of the year, Columbia s The Lone Wolf in Paris. witl' its colorful background of continental intrigue, proves an ideal vehicle for the charm of Francis Lederer and the beauty of Frances Drake.
 Tn this sophisticated adventure story, now playing at the Capitol Theatre, Lederer is offered role that fits him like the proverbial glove, and he brings to life Louis Joseph Vance's famed gentleman crook most successfully.
 Frances Drake, as the beautiful Princess of Arvonne. seeking to re- cover the crown jewels of her eoun- try, matches Lederer with sterling performance
 Michel Lanyard, the Lone Wolf, expresses a desire to go straight, He settles down at the fashionable Ho- tel Napoleon in Paris, where he is still regarded with some suspicion and where his every movement 1t watched.
 Although Lanyard has every in- tention, he isn't in the hotel five minutes before things begin to hap pen and he finds himself involved in adventure again He gallantly makes use Of his cid calling in an effort to save the vitally important crown jewels for a beautiful princess of Arvonne.
 Plying his cunning as in the old days when he was known as the greatest of all European jewel thieves Lanyard recovers the jewels enc by one, and is flying to Arvonne with them in time for the corona ton when his pilot turns him over to the enemy.
 Adventure piles upon adventure as the story mounts to it's dramatic climax that finds the princess coun- try breeding on revolution It's the sort of d-blooded yarn that only the screen can tell so graphically.

Number 12

It is about time to speak a kind word for the mop, that Cinderella of household uten- sils, whose family history reaches back farther than the scrub-women of King Solo, mons Temple. The mop is an ancient and honorable symbol of cleanliness at any price With it's modern companions of the cleaning closet it stands for social progress and eman- cipation from household drudgery.
 How many women give due credit to that wonderful invention, the dustless mop? With few Hicks of your wrist, the fluffy contraption fits about on your waxed floor, restoring shiny cleanliness between the time the doorbel rings and the unexpected com pany walks in. The man who first made and advertised this boon to housekeepers de- serves a medal for distinguished service
 One of the best things about the mop is the company it keeps It's close companion, the vacuum cleaner, saves hours and hours of hard labor every week in the year. In place of ten million housewives beating rugs in the back yard ten thousand Workmen are now busy in factories, making vacuum cleaners for them and earning wages for themselves and their families.
 Another highly useful member of the household clan of cleaners is the washing machine Although taken pretty much for granted nowadays, the power washer has saved wear and tear on more millions of feminine backs fingers and tempers than has almost anything else you can think of.
 Neither the vacuum cleaner nor the power washing machine would ever have become a common household appliance if these articles

Tue Mop aud Ats Pals

had not been advertised Women would not have known about their advantages The first washing machines did not spread very fast throughout the country, because they were not advertised much and they were not improved rapidly, either
 But when advertising got on the job, then housewives really became washing machine conscious and they certainly did buy them. Manufacturers sold more washers and could afford to put more money into the work of designing improvements In this way adver- tsing gave jobs to inventors, with the result that today's washing machine is as modern as a new eight-cylnder automobile, and it is streamlined too
 National advertising is absolutely the only way new inventions can be popularized quick ly and at relatively small expense for each unit. The cost of advertising vacuum sweep CTS and washing machines is only about per cent of the price of each article, which is extremely small compared with the amount of other costs saved through the use of ad- yertising. The total selling expense would be much higher if these articles were not advertised, and consumers would have to pay more.
 This is also true of many other popular work-saving utensils. Making housework easier is one of the regular jobs of advertis- ing, and the list of work-savers that it has in- troduced into the average American home is endless And one of the best things about it is that advertising pays for itself by being very efficient salesman Advertising actu- ally lowers the cost of many useful articles.
