rapt attention of the audience tes-
titled to its appreciation Of opera
when presented In the finished
manner that is associated with all
San Carlo performances. Bizet's
masterpiece was given as the second
grand opera presentation of the
Sunset Symphonies" series and in
conjunction with the National SYM
phony Orchestra, directed last eve
ming by Giuseppe Bamboschek.
Without being handicapped by
the difficulty of giving opera at the
Water Gate site, Mr.. Gallo put on a
performance which for its vivacity,
its splendid cast and its pictur-
esque setting equals any that opera
lovers would travel some distance
and pay a much higher price to
hear. The public last evening was

prise Of the performance, for the
role Of Micaela Is seldom SO vocally
noteworthy as she made it. Mario
Valle's Escamillo is a dashing one,
in which that sterling artist is at
his best. In the last act he wore q
valuable, authentic toreador costume
given to him by the leading toreador
Of Mexico when Mr.. Vale was sing
Ing the role there with Caruso.
The remainder of the cast was
excellent, with fine voices and real
acting ability. They were Myra
Manning as Frasquita, Charlotte
Bruno as Mercedes, Francesca Curci
and Brasha Robofsky as the snug
glers, Remendado and Dancairo,
who, together with Carmen, gave
the difficult quintet of the second
act brilliantly: Harold Kravitt as
Zuniga and Francis Scott as Mo-
rales. The chorus acted with spirit
and sang with good effect. The
National Symphony took to its new
role as opera orchestra easily under
the skilled directing Of Mr.. Bam-
bOSchek.
There are many problems to be
solved in presenting opera on the
barge where the National Sym
phony gives it's concerts with such
ease. Mr.. Gallo demonstrated his
resourcefulness in his production of
Faust" earlier this season and
again last evening. The same effec-
tive scenery as would be found in a
theater, with all convenienceS for
its disposition, transported the au-
dience to the different romantic
locales where Merimee placed the
action of his story. The costumes
were rich and brilliantly colored,
the whole making vivid picture
that gave no indication of the small
space at the disposal of the sing
ing actors or the problem of fitting
theater scenery to the lesser heights
of the shells walls. The audience
enjoyed every detail Of the per-
formance, as the applause showed.

that the pilot, the co-pilot and the
stewardess were aboard the plane
when the unidentified stranger
entered it.
F. B. I. Agent Testifies.
The rest of the late afternoon
hearing was given over to testimony
about the weather conditions the
afternoon of August 81, when the
plane crashed, and to a description
by T. w. Dawsey, F. B. I. investiga-
tor of how the bodies of those
killed in the crash were identified.
Mr. Dawsey reported to the board
of inquiry that he arrived at the
crash scene at 2:30 am. Sunday,
September l, almost II hours after
the accident. A colleague of Mr..
DaWsey'S. Joseph Pesci, of the F. B.

The F. B. I. agent testified that

where he identified them by means
of f1ngerprints and personal effects.
All the bodies, he said, were severed
at the waist and most of them also
near the head. In response to
question, he said that while none of
the bodies was burned, he found
small burns on much of the clothing,
such as burn about six inches in

inquiry that he saw a tall man
carrying a brown overcoat get
aboard the plane at Washington

the time set for the admission of
passengers. Mr. Williams never
saw this man again, nor did he
recall the incident until yesterday
morning.
