 In the last five years, each "jun- for performance" at the Metropoli- tan has been for one specific Sec-~ ton of the New York area. Because of wartime conditions, it was decided to extend the range of the audience to prevent congestion on trains and bus lines from any particular area.

 Miss Lawrence appeared recently at the Metropolitan in the Venus berg scene from Wagner's 'Tann- haeuser" at @ testimonial concert given in her honor by the other members of the company.
 Because the role of Venus is sung entirely reclining on @ courch, her physical handicap does not inter- fere with the role. General Manager Edward Johnson announced the experiment was so successful that he hoped to have Miss Lawrence sing the part several times in regu- lar performances before the season ends.
