the greatest of German composers
was considerable item in the
budget and work not calculated
to pay its own way at the box Office.
Last week witnessed the Metro
politan's most interesting innova-
ton of the season, the world pre-
miere of Gian-Carlo MenottiS
1.-THE Island God" The young Phila-
delphia composer was known pre-
viously for his miniature comic
operas, amelia Goes to the Ball"
and 1.-THE Old Maid and the Thief"
His new work proved to be a mytho-
logical tragedy with tremendous
dramatic impact, especially in its
climactic scene. The music is at
times somber and dramatically ex-
presive, and in some passages beau
tifully lyric.
The company's spring tour will
begin on March 16 in Baltimore,
where three performances will be
given. Eight cities in all will be
visited. After Baltimore, the COM
pany will give IL performances in
Boston, beginning March 10. With
a lapse during Holy Week, the
company will next visit Cleveland
for the week of April 6. It will ap-
pear in Dallas In mid-April, in
Birmingham on April 20, in At
lanta on April 81, % and %, and
in Richmond on April "a and Is.
The eighth city to be visited has
not yet been announced, but is ex-
pected to be a university center, an
innovation for the company.
THE Indianapolis Symphony Or
chestra, which has achieved dis
tinction under the baton Of F'abien
Sevitzky, may have to suspend next
season unless substantial funds are
raised, according to an announce
ment by its board Of directors.
The announcement said SIS, 900
more is needed to cover this sea-
sons deficit, and about $4,000 to
continue next season. The appeal
to keep the orchestra going In spite
of war said that I'VE will realize,
as they have eventually realized In
all warning countries, how indis-
pensable is music in the scheme Of
civilized life"
WILLIAM KAPELL, 19-year-old
pianist, of New York, has been
announced the winner of the 1912
Town Hall Endowment Series
Award. He is the youngest artist
and the only native-born New
Yorker to win it. He will appear
on the endowment series Of con-
certs next Jan. 20.
Previous winners Of the award
were Rosalyn Tureck, pianist; Car
roll Glenn, violinist: Dorothy May
nor, American Negro soprano, and

leading systems. Reith was at his
best In playing a difficult or hope
less hand. Here is a typical Reith
play.
North had carried Reith to four
spades in a situation that drew the
comment from Reith-a comment
carefully withheld until the hand
was played out-"Your hand
doesn't get any bigger because I
rebid. II you couldn't raise on the
first round, how could you raise
later?"
Two rounds of hearts began the
play, South rufflng the second.
Noting that East had both ace and
king Of hearts, Reith inferred that
West held both minor aces. He
cashed a top trump, then led the
ten and overlook with the queen
Of trumps.
Dummy led the jack Of dia-
monds, East covered with the
queen, South with the king and
West played his ace. West led a
third heart, South ruffed low and
then pulled Vests last trump.
South led a low club and the
king won when West played the
eight. Dummy led diamond and
South won by f1nesse Of the
eight-spot. He led the seven of
clubs-his only chance-and was
rewarded by seeing the ace drop.
That left the queen trick and
gave Reith his contract.

curtailment was partly due to per-

retrench somewhere along the line,

Hi Shapl
Flew in from Wendover Field,
Utah Saturday and Sunday. Real
ly enjoyed flying East in the new
bombers-especially since I sat in
the bombarier's compartment the
entire trip. I received a big kick
out of flying over the Rockies.
Scenery was tops. Hutch and 1
had few days together in Wend-
over, and we managed to celebrate
our meeting a couple of times in
the true Smyrna style. We saw
Bing Crosby and Bob Hope when
they came out to the field one
night. They were right on the
ball. hope Hutch doesn't have to
stay in Utah as long as did. You
can have the entire state if you
want it. It's really swell up here
in Massachusetts,, but they are
working me hard. Take things
easy, and say Hello" to all the
Gang-what's left of them.
