sound film of grand opera to be
made a few years ago upon the in
stigation of Fortune Gallo, impress
sario of the San Carlo Co, received
as vivid an impersonation as the ore
which preceded it. This opera,
based on q true story, witnessed by
the composer in his childhood and
used by him for a magnificent pat
tern of sound, never fails in its
appeal
Baritone Singers Outstanding.
The cast included Miss Tennyson,
soprano; Harold Lindi, tenor;
Mostyn Thomas, baritone; Mr..
Stokes. baritone, and Francesca
Curci who presented a colorful pic
ture. The laurels of this presenta-
ton should 60 to the two baritones,
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Stokes, both
of whom were outstanding in their
parts, the former as Tonic, the
clown. the latter as Silvio, Media S
sweetheart. Mr.. Thomas, heard
here many times before, is known
for his superb voice and acting. His
singing of the Prologue" was mag
nificent. Mr.. Stokes, who previously
appeared here in concert, surprised
by the ease with which he sang and
acted on the operate stage. He has
beautiful young voice, virile in
timbre. good diction and a good
stage presence. The artists i'm
personation of Silvio, vocally and
histrionically, was one of the best
ever given here.
Miss Tennyson, handicapped by
an unsteadiness of tone in her sing
ing of the "Balatella," rose to the
demands of her part as the opera
progressed and gave a fine per-
formance of her scenes with Silvio
and Tonic. Her acting was always
in keeping with the character i'm
personated. Mr.. Lindi, as Pagliaccio,
scored extra applause after his
famous aria. Mr.. Curci, as Beppe,
contributed to the ensemble.
This last performance was made
distinctive by some exquisite singing
done by the chorus and by the lovely
tone achieved by the orchestra The

 "The exact rating at which the new reserves will be enlisted" Lieu tenant Hinckley said, twill be based upon the individuals proficiency in his speciality, his experience or his training. The qualified medical spe. cialist who has had pre-naval or military experience will be given the highest rating"
 It is expected the accepted appli- cants in the group will be called to active duty "very shortly" after be- ing enlisted.
 Ratings ranging from Chief Phar- macist's Mate (Acting AppointmenD to hospital apprentice, first class, will be determined by the following factors:

Evanston, H., April II -- World War No. made Americans cigaret smokers and the fear was expressed here today by the president of the W. 0. T. U. that World War No. 2 unless some changes are made may make our young men beer ad- diets.
 A digest of the story of cigarets and a thumbnail sketch of young mems psychology were given by Mrs. Ida B. Wise Smith.
 We are training our boys to be fighters for liberty-rot to become slaves of Q narcotic beverage she declared, referring to sale of 3.2 beer in military camp canteens.
 The White Ribbon leader took time out from studies of newspaper, magazine, and private reports on general vice conditions iil military camp areas" to recall how "in 0 ila- tural desire to give everything to our doughboys, cigarets practically were forced between their quips in 19l7-i8."
 200 Smokers!
 A ranking member of Congress told her recently, Mrs. Smith said, how he had commanded 300 men in World War No. 1, how only 13 Of that group smoked before entering the army, and how 200 were cigaret smokers when they returned home, only the commander remaining non smoker.
 "Every time Q soldier in that war stretched out @ hand, some one stuck Q cigaret between his fingers" he said. "The easy accessibility and the fact that every day more of his comrades became smokers soon make cigaret-puffers out of all the young men,"
 From 1901 to April, 1883, beer wasn't allowed in military camps. Today It's relationship to the hun- dreds of thousands of new soldier boys Is obviously comparable to the cigaretS in 1917.
 Probably q majority of these see lectees arc non drinkers when they enter camp. From then on, every sort of social pressure Is put on them to be good sports As far aS can be learned in Washington, D. O., there Is no counter -actlng effort by in- structors or officers to teach temp erance OF to advise these young men of the dangerous cumulative effects of alcohol in small quantities, to show them that you don't have to drink to be Q soldier.

 Each common pleas court would be limited to $3,000 Jurisdiction in civil cases (The Waterbury com mon pleas court now has unlimited civil jurisdiction)
 The common pleas courts would handle all appeals from city boards and commissions.

 All available facts, particularly those from sports and traffic re- search. prove that even very small percentage of alcohol In the blood can slow up muscular and mental ability--and weaken moral safe guards.
