sung, at few hours notice, by Helen Van Loon who did the honors for Stella Andreva originally sched- uled to sing. Illness prevented Miss Andreva from appearing. Miss Van Loon, however, went through the considerable singing called for with capability and vocal dexterity. As the play advanced she was more at ease and sang with pure lyrical tone. Her duet with ErneSto in the third act was especially well done. The part calls for animation and large de- gree of dexterity in the florid pas Sages.
 The singing of George Britton, baritone, as Dr. Malatesta was ex- ce1lent at all times. Both he and MT D'Angelo vocalized, talked and sang with ease and precision, and in their batter" singing were past masters. The text calls for much of this and lively dialogue which was always expertly spoken or S.ng.
 Gabor Carelli as Ernesto had 8 high smooth tenor which the part requires and his graceful pharasing gave his work the intended effects. The quartet and ensemble singing was excellently timed. It is to be regretted that the auditorium does not do justice to the voices in fortis- simo, the singers at times at a dis advantage in the effects anticipated.
 The opera was presented in three acts with colorful settings. The cos tuning was gay and colorful. Two piano accompaniment added greatly to the presentation. Every attention was given to the smallest detail, and this group of singers who know all the fine points about singing as well as acting do a fine job in the put ting across of an eighteenth century drawing room piece in the style and vernacular of today. It is pleas ing, artistic and wholesome form of entertainment which Waterbury audiences have become familiar with since first introduced here by the Fine Arts Series and produced by Charles L. Wagner.--M. M.
