Gallo. His San Carlo Co. produc-
ton, the second opera of the weeks
engagement at the National, was
resplendent in every way. There
was a conviction about it and a
finish in detail absorbing to note;
and, if the latter was not completely
apparent to those not very familiar
with the work, the former carried
its effect with the entire audience
Allowing her voice to become al
most strident at times for emotional
effect, Miss Glade achieved greater
variety to her vocal tone which
heretofore has been used only in full
and sensuous volume But for con-
veying contempt or fury, it struck
out forcefully and gave a keener
outline to her. conception which
combines appeal with a sort of
savagery. Her voice, which is eX-
ceptionally rich in quality, seemed
to have more power also last eve
ming and a special ring in the high
notes.
The gain in vocal effectiveness
went hand in hand with the vital
ity of her acting which has been
worked out to fine point. Particu-
larly in the scene in Lilas PaStia's
tavern were there many detafs that
stressed the idea with greater thor
oughneSs She has a keen sense
of the boundaries of this character
and never overdoeS in any direction.
The high spots of the role. such as
her scenes with Don Jose in the
first act, the dance in the second,
the dramatic finale of the third and
the death scene were played with
individuality of concept.
Sydney Raynor's brilliant. ringing
voice made the part of Don Jose
distinctive. He sang eXcellently
throughout last evening and with
more finesse and freedom than he
showed last season. In his acting
of the role he had more naturalness
and feeling for its dramatic value
than formerly and played up to Miss
Glade with fine skill. The third of
the main characters of the opera,
Escamillo. was sung by Mostyn
Thomas, whose voice is by far the
best the San Carloans have pre-
sented in this role. But in the
dramatic presentation he fell short,
hardly conveying the superior, pop
ular toreador in a manner to stress
his attractiveness to Carmen.
The shorter but very important
characters of Remendado, Dancairo,
Frasquita, Mercedes, Zuniga and
Morales were also excellent in the
hands Of Francesca Curci, Richard

IMAGINATION FIRED
BY INFINITE DETAIL
1t. Gen. John L. Dewitt, Com
mander of the Fourth Army, was
an army brat" which means
his father was an army officer.
But he went into the army from
Princeton, not from West Point.
He had not finished college when
the Spanis h American War
broke out and he left school to
60 to it, as second lieutenant
of the Infantry. The thing that
fired young DeWitt's magma
ton was the infinite detail of
running an army. The army has
. place for men with that slant.
Dewitt went to France when
the u. S. entered the war as
Quarter master of the 42nd
(Rainbow) Division, and left
France as assistant chief of staff
for supply of the LIST Army. He
had found his niche, and with
infrequent tours of duty In the
Line, he has fought the good
fight with pad and pencil ever
since.
He is a slender, spare man,
serious minded, and fast getting
bald. He so enjoys detail that he
doesn't delegate work. Conse-
quently, he works long hours,
driven by nervous energy, and
seems never to tire of his job.
When, as Quartermaster General
Of the Army, he hurried into the
outer office in the morning., all
the stenographers clutched their
notebooks and tried to find their
pencils before the General reach.
ed his desk. He began debating
before he took his hat off.
After the World War, Dewitt
taught at the Army War College
and later became Assistant Com.
mandant there. After his service
as Quartertnaster General he
went into the field to command
the Philippine Division, and
when he came home again was
made Commandant of the Army
War College. From that job, hi
was promoted to command thu
Fourth Army, with three more
years to serve before he reaches
the retirement age.

INDIANAPOLIS, May 29-tR
An all-American field Of 80
cars will face the starter tomor-
row for the 10th running of the
indianapolis Motor Speedway's
500 mile race.
Rene LeBegue and Jean Ire
voux, who went to q lot OF
trouble to bring their Talbot
Specials from unoccupied France
failed to get into the starting
lineup. Their last chance pass
ed yesterday.
LeBegue, who finished tenth
in last years $780," made an
attempt but his car lacked the
needed speed. He qualified at
a speed of 115.603 miles an
hour, slowest of the 35 qualifiers,
and thus was relegated to Sec
ond alternate position.
A car must do lis miles an
hour or better for ten miles to
qualify.
Trevoux did not take his car
to the track in the last qualifica-
ton period. The Frenchmen's
speedsters, delayed while the
owners obtained permission to
bring them through the British
blockade, reached the Speedway
only last week.
Failure of LeBegue and Ire
voux to gain starting classified
ton ended q controversy begun
by American drivers who con-
tended Speedway officials had
not required the usual weight
and structural tests of the
French entries.
The field was filled with
qualifications for three places
in the eleventh row. Deacon"
Litz, Dubois, Pa, took the in
side spot with a speed of 123.440

WASHINGTON, May 29-(R
Each of the commanding gener-
ais of the four armies which
make up the U. S. Army cut his
military milk-teeth on bullets.
not textbooks. They did not
study the art of war until they
had fought one. Like their Chief
Gen. Msrshall, none OF them
went to West Point. Each was
baptized into the army in bat
tie during the Spanish-American
War.
General Marshall was a dark
horse when he was chosen Chief
of Staff. The man who had been
considered most likely to sue
coed the retiring Chief. Malln
Craig, was 1t. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, commander of the First
Army.
"Hughie" Drum is soldier
first and last. He was commits
stoned when q he was 1.-two
years under age-by an act OF
Congress in tribute to the gallan-
try of his father, Captain John
Drum, who was killed at San
Juan Hill. Before young Hugh
undertook the study of textbook
tactics he had had years of rough
and tumble fighting in SIX m
ishes with guerrillas during the
Philippine instruction.
A short, stocky man with
weathered skin, CRAVING hair and
a pugnacious jaw in which a
cigar is usually clamped, Drum
looks like a tough customer. He
likes to win-in his profession
or his h O b bies (bridge, golf,
chess)-and he knows how to
outwit an adversary as well as
outright him. His friends say that
his light-hearted golf game has
put many cocksure partners OIL
their guard. About the time they
relax and figure the games a
sure thing, Drum sets his jaw,
plays like mad and collects at
the 10th hole.
REMARKABLE INSTINCT
FOR ORGANIZATION
Drum went to Europe with
Pershing in the first World War
and was sent ahead to France to
select ports and training fields
for the 1st Division. When the
war was over, he was Chief OF
Staff of the 1st Army, had dis
tinguished himself by laying out
the plans for the battle of Ar
come forest.
His instinct for military or
Ranization is remarkable. On one
occasion when a textbook on
command was needed in hurry,
Drum dictated to relays OF ste
nographers and completed in one
month what usually takes three
years or more.
An incident during the World
War illustrates Drums sure
knowledge of military opera
tons. The late Secretary of War
Newton Baker (who told the
story was in Drums improvised
office in the st. Mihiel sector
when the phone rang. The per-
son at the other end told Drum
to call off artillery fire. Drum re-
peated the message to Baker,
picked up another phone and
told his artillery to double fire.
Baker waited for an explanation.
Finally Drum said: THAT mes
