This seemed so unfair that
when the government called

The debut of the Washington
Grand Opera Association at Con-
stiution Hall last night proved q
triumph for the management,
measuring up to the fondest ex-
pectations. Its brilliant ensemble,
carefully assembled by William
Webster, general manager, and ex-
pertly lead by Carlo Peroni, who
substituted for Giuseppe Bambo-
chek at the 11th hour, gave out
standing performances to "Caval-
leria Rusticana" and "Pagliacci,"
supported by an outstanding cast of
singers, first-class chorus and Or
chestra.
Already in the opening measures
Of the famous tenor aria, back stage.
in Mascagni's one-act masterpiece,
1t was evident that the management
was able to procure at the last min
ute a singer of magnitude in the
person Of Mario Palermo as a sub
stitute for Sidney Raynor, who was
unable to appear.
Mr.. Palermo, drafted from the
ranks of the San Carlo Opera and
already acclaimed in the South
American republics, made a striking
portrayal of the role of Turidu vo-
cally and historically. His tenor
robusto of fine texture and excellent
schooling made deep impression,
together with his realistic imper-
sonation of the character. Ably
supporting him were Elda Ercole.
Santuzza, his deserted sweetheart.
whose lovely soprano voice rose with
appealing pathos to the remotest
corners of the auditorium; Georgi-
anna Bourbon, Lola; Claudia Fri
gerio, Alto. and Beatrice Altieri,
Mamma Lucia. The action pro-
ceeded smoothly, with a lifehke
naturalness, the chorus doing its
part in the general ensemble.

Il don't know of any one I'd rather
see get ahead in Hollywood" said
some one else.
Critics are not supposed to have
preferences-nor prejudices for that
matter-but 1t was the most pref
erential kind of conversation in a
whole year of screenings.
Tall, slim, blond Miss Hunt CMrs.
Jerry Hopper in private lifep ought
to be an inspiration to young act
resses who make fast starts and
quicker stops in Hollywood. That
is what she did. start and stop al
most in the same breath, after Para
mount had fallen for her trick of
getting cinema job.
The trick was an intelligent one
devised by an intelligent girl. Miss
Hunt, model, just went to Holly
wood, got herself interviewed, and
virtually dropped the talent scouts
in their tracks by telling the inter-
viewer she did not want picture
job. A man biting dog could not
have made One-tenth such startling
news. The studios fairly stumbled
over one another trying to talk Miss
Hunt out of such an astounding at
titude.
Paramount won, but it was not
happy in its victory for very long
Miss Hunt was not the bombshell,
or oomph type. On the contrary,
she was an incorruptibly intelligent,
patiently refined type that did not
lend herself to the dynamic build
up. Morever, she did not want any
such thing. After two or three in
ferior sort of roles, she rather drop
ped out of things as had many other
talented young actress before her.
The drop was not to oblivion,
however, but rather to Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer. which is like dropping
into $2,000,000. MGM tried for Miss
Hunt the kind of buildup that really
would work in her case. 1t gave her
good, substantial, if secondary roles
until the public could see for itself
that she was something quite un-
usual in the way of screen new
corners. Her impact was a cumula-
tive thing until it gradually landed
her into parts which could be called
substantial American girl imper-
sonations. She made a nice wife for
Robert Young in "A Guy Named
Joe" and then she went on to do the
same sort of impressive job as the
essentially fine. but giddy, small
town debutante in The Human
Comedy" She did a number of
other similar things until the re-
fined, intelligent type of American
miss or matron became her job at
the studio.
That is what it is in Lost Angel"

tinelli, veteran tenor Of the Metro
politan Opera, was, of course, the
center of attention and reused the
spectators to pitch of enthusiasm
by his delivery of ''Vesti la Giuba, "
the great aria at the conclusion of
the first act. In fine form and ex-
cellent voice, he sang the role with
dramatic fervor and with telling
effect.
Mr.. Webster, accompanied by his
wife, Dorothy Remington, appeared
on the stage between the acts to
thank his patrons for their generous
