The Washington Grand Opera
Company presented Verdi's "Rigo-
letto" in Constitutional Hall, but
without Josephine Antoine in the
role of Gilda. A severe cold pre-
vented her from appearing, and her
place was taken by Doris Marinelli
of Chicago, announcement of which
was made only before the first
scene. The remainder of the cast
was as published, and Miss Mar
inelli was made welcome with gen.
erous applause after her singing of
the Caro- nome" aria.
The performance of the whole
opera was a heavy one, with none
of the principals striking just the
right, convincing note in their por-
trayal. There was tendency to
drag the music which kept Thomas
Phillip Martin, the conductor, busy
holding orchestra and singers to-

gether. Even the chorus, which sang
in general with more vigor than
the leading artists, was ragged in
its delivery of several ensembles,
notably the famous pianissimo num-
ber outside Rigoletto's home.
The title role gives the imper-
senator Of the Hunchback Jester a
splendid opportunity for emotional
acting, of which Alexander Sved did
not take advantage. He was in
better voice than at his previous
appearance, but rarely reached any
dramatic heights either vocally or
histrionically, even in his great scene
when he searches for his daughter
in the Dukes palace. The contrast
between the Jester of the first scene
and the father whose child has been
kidnapped, and the subsequent un-
folding of his character following
this happening, was not strongly
emphasized and his portrayal lacked
the moving qualities usually so
stressed by the interpreters.
Taking some one else's place-at
the last moment and probably with
out sufficient, if any, rehearsals, is
a thankless undertaking. but Miss
Marinelli acquitted herself well of
the difficult situation. She was one
of the few dark-haired Gildas and
she brought newness to the part
also by substituting a dark dress for
the customary light blue and a blue
egGgee for the white one usually
worn in the third set. Her voice Is
adequate to the part, although its
sharp, white timbre does not lend
itself to much expression.
The role of the Duke of Mantua
was taken by the opera company's
general manager, William Webster,
who, however, has hardly the bril-
liant qualities of voice necessary for
the character and his poor diction
made it impossible to distinguish
the words of his arias. Nino Ruisi
as Sparafucile was not at all fear
some in the role, but in the dual
characters of Countess Ceprano and
of a page, Mildred Ippolito sang
with spirit. Paul Dennis as Count
Monterone, Umberto Sorrentino as
Borsa, Giorgianna Bourbon, whose
singing Of the role of Maddalena
was too late in the evening for us to
hear, Beatrice Altieri as Giovanna.
Charles Brown as Count Ceprano
and Wilfred Engelman as Marullo
made up the entire cast.
Nothing new can be said of the
scenery as it followed what one is
accustomed to see when opera is
produced at Constitution Hall, but
the costuning was bright and rich
appearing. Mr.. Martin had a fair
sized orchestra with which he did
as much as he could under the cir
cumstances.

Miss Williams has no illusions
about herself as jeopardizing the
careers of Katharine Cornell, Helen

Williams admits. you just think

champion first and an actress later,
lchronologically speaking, Miss Will
liams also has the unique attraction
of being able to discuss sports in
more understanding terms than any

To meet Miss Williams, and after

Hollywood isn't the fool YOU some

Miss Williams, who swan into pic
lures, Is much more likely to be
caught talking about swimming than
about acting at any given point in a
conversation.
One of her favorite stories is
about her first chance to make a
name for herself as a member of
the Los Angeles Athletic Clubs
aquatic team.
'T'he girl who was to swim the
breast stroke lap in medley relay
got temperamental one very i'm
portant night just before our big
race" she recalls. "All I knew of
the breast stroke was a trick I had
learned from life guard. I had
really never actually tried it, but !
volunteered. The coach was skepti-
cal-not half as much as I was, but
she did not know that-but she
grabbed a stop-watch and told me
to have a go at it. Both her eyes
and mine fairly popped out when
We saw the result, several seconds
under the record"
Miss Williams naturally was vast
ly pleased to discover how ignorant
she had been of her own strength
as a breast-stroke artist, but the
opposing coach was not when the
race was over.
Il was doing that butterfly vari-
alton of the stroke" Miss Williams
laughed, land I did not know
whether it was permissible either
