last night presented it in modern

'The Marriage OF Figaro" was de-
nuded of its 18th century setting,
translated into English of the pres
ent day and performed by young
American singers in evening clothes
to the great enjoyment of a large
audience. This production was the
last feature of the Cappel winter
concert series. which has sought to
give variety to the customary musi-
cal fare by offering new and origi-
nal events.
There has been a tendency these
last years to meet the frequent COM

ent-day consumption. 1t is true
that. sung in English. the plot is
more comprehensive and the COM
edy such as forms the story of THE
Marriage Of Figaro" can be better
appreciated. But no translation or
modern setting can attach Mozart
completely to the present trend or
give the plots of his operas a mod
ern tinge To those who are content
to enjoy Mozart in the atmosphere
in which he lived and found in
spiration for his great works, it is
no benefit to jump the intervening
century and half and mold him
to the American ideal of 1943.
What the Nine O'Clock Opera Co.
has done ought to decide definitely
whether one prefers his or her opera
in colorful setting and costuming
and follow the plot with but vague
idea Of what 1t is about or be initi-
ated into its every meaning and

NEW YORK, July 81 CUP) -
Silver haired Ben White, the mod
ern David Harum, had a hopeful
gleam in his eye today as he work
ed over a sleek brown colt named
Volo Song, velvet beauty he hopes
will carry him to his fourth driving
triumph in the Hambletonian trot-
ting classic.
Mild-mannered Ben, who has
spent more than so of his 10 years
riding Sulkies on harness racing's
grand circuit, is the only man ever
to win trotting's Kentucky derby
three times. And he has an added
incentive this year, for one of the
rival colts will be handled by his
son, Gibson, and Ben is aching to
show the chip it's no greater than
the old block.
Ben is cautious and makes no
extravagant claims. You ask him
what Volo Songs chances are and
he smiles in that tight Tipped
manner so familiar among harness
men. He says: We'll, he's i'll top
form"
Last year Ben won with the AM
baSsadOr, an outside choice owned
by William H. Strang of Brooklyn.
We'll win easily" the plump
driver confided to Strang.
Strang found this hard to believe
and was among the most sur
prised when White brought the
colt home in front for an upset
triumph and his third Hambleton-
ian victory. The reason is that in
