years with credit and when Governor Bryan served his two
terms as Governor, he recommended R. L. Cochran to succeed
him as governor of this great state.
Governor Cochran has filled this position with dignity,
honor and credit beyond the criticism of his most ordained
enemies.
The World-Herald says that he has kept new taxes off the
statutes and kept Nebraska the white spot of the nation.
Governor Cochran can be depended on as a friend OF the

Americans to whom I talked speak
more and more of the growing
friendship between their countries

has convinced me that an artistic
interchange of the talents of North
and South America can become one
of the greatest factors in the pro-

both continents must share equally.

Certainly, if the popular melodies
of Verdi's "Rigoletto" are not sung
and whistled the length and breadth
of the land after this valiant affort
to popularize them, the case of
grand opera in the United States is
indeed hopeless. How the music
which is to remain intact will benefit
from the more up-to-date story and
setting cannot be grasped until the
performance is actually given.
Will "Rigolettos" moving scene
among the courtiers and Gildas
lovely Caro- Nome" aria be en-
HANGED by the more sordid modern
setting? Certainly there is no ques-
tion but that the famous quartet in
the last act will rouse the house.
Overlooked.
While that neglected audience
Is being taken care of in this splen-
did way. the remaining small num-
Der will prefer to hear their "Rigo-
letto' at the Metropolitan or from
the San Carlo singers with all the
traditions upheld as Verdi intended
This great movement for freeing
grand opera from the charm and
romance of ibrettos, which, in spite
OF their crime element. were never
theless poignant and dramatic, will
probably be extended to other operas
should this first production prove
success.
The day may be soon at hand
when opera at the Metropolitan
will have a rival down the street
where crime AS the general public
knows it will find its just punish
ment to the same music. The. slink-
ing movements, the out t-of-the-cor-
er-of-the-mouth speech. the cap
pulled down over the eyes and guns
flashing from shoulder holsters and
hip pockets will replace the doublet
and hose, the courtly gesture, the
elegance of demeanor and the quick
rapier of the old-fashioned opera.
Proud of Championship.
1t is apparent from what the New
Audience Co. says that the 3O-year
effort of Fortune Gallo to make
opera known throughout this coun-
try. the heroic struggle of the Ma
tlonal Federation of Music Clubs,
the Metropolitan Opera broadcasts
and the many opera lectures spon-
sored by clubs in all the big cities
have been time wasted. The neg
lected audience has not been
reached, and something must be
done about it. The many accom-
panying arts that 60 into the max

occurrences these many years past.
has been overlooked
From the tone of the advertise
ments, The New Audience Co. is
quite proud of its championship of
the ordinary American amusement
seekers" Just why it should choose
grand opera is hard to understand
when so many plays and movies
present their characters in Terms
OF Human Beings if one inclines
to the premise that gangsters are
Human Beings Or why should
"Rigoletto' be selected when "Caval-
leria Rusticana," "Pagliacci" and a
host of other works offer such en-
ticing material? Some four wears
ago letters from Giuseppe Verdi to
Salvatore Marchese, husband of
Mathilda Marchesi, were published.
In the last in this collection, the
great Italian composer wrote: "Oh,
