Chigi Excels
In Barber
Of Seville
BY GEORGE WESTMINSTER

OPERA AT a dollar top moved
into the Masonic Auditorium last
night and vastly pleased a fair
sized audience. The show was The
Barber of Seville" and it was
given a joyous performance in a
low-comedy vein by the Columbia
Opera Company.
Alfred Chigi who has oft before
demonstrated his consummate art
as singer and actor. appeared as
Figaro and added considerably tC
his laurels. He was a constant
delight and gave an unforgettable
interpretation. II was he who kept
the goings-on moving swiftly in
the burlesque key adopted by the
Columbia group in this example OF
early Italian opera with its never.
ending melody and spoken dialogue
that made a knowledge of the
language a particularly valuable
asset.

WILLKIE GUEST OF
 C. .0.P. WOMEN
LongshOre Country Club Scene of Statewide
 Meeting Saturday

Leading Republican women in the state are laying extensive plans to shoulder a greater part of the com- ing political campaign, which in this war year marks the 1lth time the women have gone to the polls since they were first granted their right to vote. Indicative of their resolu- ton, with so many of the. younger men at war or with the older men doing important war work, Is the fact that the Fairfield County Re- publican women are the sponsors of the first statewide meeting of the summer at LongSllore Country club next Saturday, at which former Governor Raymond E. Baldwin and Wendell Willkie will be the fea- tured speakers.
 It Is also expected that when the slates for the Republican ticket are made up there will be a great deal of activity among the women of the party. Much interest is being evinc. ed around the state in the candi- dacy for the congressional nonina. ton in the fourth district by Greenwicl1's Clare Boothe Luce. celebrated playwright. traveller, col- umnist, author and wife of the pulp fisher of Life, Time and Fortune magazines and Westport's Miss Vivien Kellens a noted woman in- dustrialist, who has lately received nationwide publicity.
 Both these latter women are re- garded as colorful, intelligent and dynamic, and their political aspira- tions are due to attract consider able attention. The race for this congressional nomination is wide open with several seasoned men campaigners industriously seeking support for their candidacy.
