By ALICE EyERSMAN.

The short season Of grand opera
by the San Carlo company at Con-
stitution Hall terminated last night
with the performance Of Verdis LA
Traviata." Sets were appropriate
and the opera did not suffer the dis
advantage of Carmen" the preced-
ing night In which no change ot
scene was attempted.
The care given last nights pro-
duction proved that the proper illu.
sion is possible on Constitution Hal
stage If planned in advance and II
is not necessary for an opera hungry
audience, such as this city has, to be
satisfied with makeshifts. The de.
but of the San Carlo Opera in the
larger hall after well-staged appear
ances at the National Theater de-
served better preparation than was
given it.
In the matter of artists, the pre-
vlous excellent standard was MAIN
tanned in La Traviata." Mary Hen
derson, whose performance of Mimi
In La Boheme" last winter was a
memorable one, essayed the role of
Violetta for the first time here. Her
fine dramatic feeling was evident
throughout and the more emotional
scenes were communicative. Her
voice has not the smooth agility Gus
tomary to specialists in this part but
In the more lyric portions, its superb
or quality, pure and flexible, and the
excellence of her manner of using it
brought out the musical themes with
better effect than the usual lighter
voice can realize.
If she did not stress the world
illness of the character In the first
act, she played 1t with charm and
grace. The garden scene with the
father of Alfredo was knowingly por-
trayed and eXcellently sung. Mostyn

Close Constitution Hall Season

Thomas who impersonated the
father, assisted her little with his
acting for he did not try to make
the role sympathetic. His singing of
the "Di Provenza" aria compen-
sated for his histrionic lack for his
voice is mobile and resonant and
of unusual timbre.
Mario Palermo's rich tenor gave
Ia viril quality to his portrayal of
the role of Alfredo and its express
siveness responded to every shade
|of sentiment. He acted with free
dom and sincerity in each of the
principal scenes. Sustaining these
three leading characters were the
other sterling artists of the COM
pany in the many shorter roles
that completes the story.
Under Nicholas Rescigno's baton,
the orchestra played with zest but

to the singers. The dances by Ly-
dia Arlova, Lucien Prideaux, Mara
Davedova and the San Carlo Bal
let in the second scene of the second
act were beautifully done as Is the
custom of these excellent artists
and the chorus contributed consid-
erably to the success of the evening,
The audience, again practically
filling the house, was very demon
strative in its appreciation.

Clergy May Aid
Government In
RELAXING ''News"

No official action has yet been
taken by the Waterbury office,
but it is believed that the West
ern Union will eventually adopt
the TarrytOwn plan Of informing
parents of their sons being re-
ported as killed or missing in &C
ton.
The plan eliminated delivery by
a messenger boy Of any important
personal message. II calls for the
assistance Of the police and the
services of a priest, minister or
rabbi. The Western Union on
receipt of the message will noti-
fly the police. The latter will then
make a contact with a clergyman
acquainted with the family. The
rabbi, priest or minister will then
be taken in the police car to the
soldiers home and the task Of
"breaking the news" will be more
formal and more gently than the
usual shock of reading the fam
liar message Regret to inform
you, etc"
Many cities have already adopt
ed the plan and statement on
future action will be made short
ly by the local manager.

Mrs. Dewey commented that the
cooperation of employers has been
good" but said that the VINO is
irving to lessen the number of re-
quests for exceptions to the regula-
lions. A number Of employers have
presented their cases, listing spe-
cial situations and claiming they
should be given special considera-
ton, it was disclosed. Few eXcep-
lions have resulted here.
. Since the program opened Dec.
IL four concerns have secured high
er priority ratings or changes on
ceilings, and two additional con-
Germs were added to the list, 1t was
reported. All other concerns still
retain their original classification.
/. Mrs. Dewey stated that the pro-
gram was inaugurated because the
labor demands were heavy and the
supply small. She said, THE soon
er everyone cooperates in getting
workers into firms which are ur-
gently in need the sooner will the
stringent controls be removed
The USES has been unable to re-
fer workers to some concerns which
have asked for exceptions on the
priority ratings, the director stat
ed. In these cases suggestions have
been made for transferring workers
within plants to meet whatever
emergency needs may arise. Mrs.
Dewey said that in several cases
where scheduling has fallen behind
in one particular product the work.
.ers have been transferred from div
isions which manufacture less ur-
gently needed commodities.
= One firm discussed the situation
with foremen and various Sugges-
lions for temporarily transferring
workers resulted, 1t was disclosed.
The hiring controls program Is
administered by the USES in CO.
operation with the VINO. Paul

supervising the work at the local
