THOUGHT FOR TODAY

The missionary enterprise is the sur
preme adventure of history. It is the cha1-
lenge of hope and courage in world of
paralyzing fears and demoralizing fulfill
ties. Missions have been the highest
glory of the church through the ages.
Missions represent the highest ministry
that man can exercise. The ministry of
making God known to lost men.

The presentation of Verdi's opera La Traviata' in Waterbury last night was a gala occasion in the city. A half hour before curtain East Main in the vicinity of Loew's Poli theatre 'wher the opera was given had somewhat the appear ance of Times Square, N. Y.,, or any busy theatrical district. The large theatre was filled to capacity and when Gabriel Simeoni lifted his baton for the lovely overture that precedes the first act in the draw ing room in Violetta's home practi- cally every one was seated and ex- pectant.
 A feeling of satisfaction was felt as the opera got underway and all principals handled their roles with musical skill and a feeling for the drama contained in the familiar story of the unfortunate Violetta and her lover, Alfredo. As Violetta Valery Norma Greco gave 8 splen- did performance; her singing was lovely and her acting excellent. The smoothneSs of her performance and the good work done by her and Jac- ques Gerard, who was Alfred Ger mont, in the fuetS were marked by good musicianShip. They did eXcep-

bond drive and cited cogent reasons for its being held at this time. He urged that every student make a personal effort to maintain the high standard set by the school in the fourth bond drive, and even to bet ter the impressive total contributed last February, when Sacred Heart High, with a student personnel at
 that time less than 300, topped all schools in this section with final count of $45, 5,610 worth of bonds sold. Stamp sales also were significant, beyond the ordinary student pur- chases which last year gained the school one of the first Minute Man flags to be flown in this city and which have since been maintained to merit two additional stars and a copy of the Bill of Rights, present. ed by the Treasury Department to schools keeping up 60 per cent sales.
 At the close of the senator's talk, Miss Shirley Sylvia, chairman of the bond drive committee, acted as director for program of pep talks by her Co-chairman, outlining for conducting the drive. Florence Karpelman spoke on bond pledges, Blanche Carmody on stamp sales, and Harriet Hapke on the poster contest which is to be a feat ure of the campaign. Edwina Dil- lon recited High Flight" by Lieu tenant Magee. November 10 being the anniversary of the establishment of the U. s. Marine Corps, the as- sembly sang the Marines Hymn,

'LaTraviata Sung By Metropolitan Cast at Polls;

tionally smooth work in the last act in "Parigi o cara" and Miss Greco's singing of "Addio del pas sato c"Farewell to Bright Visions") was likewise nicely done.
 The amajor arias of the opera were handled with a good musical style, MT. Gerard doing nicely in the first act "Un di Felice," and with the ensemble in the first act drinking song. Daniel Duno, bari tone, as Germont Aine was note worthy in his singing in act II, and at the ned of the act both he and Miss Greco received thunderous applause for their efforts. Also singing their roles capably were Doris Doree as Flora, Laura Castel- lano as a maidservant, Ludovico Oliviero as Gaston de Letorieres | Anthony Amato as the Marouis D'Orgibny, Frank Gamboni as Bar on Douphal, and Eugene Morgan as Dr. Grenville.
 The four acts were presented with good lighting and the sets were bright and effective. As the curtain rose on the gay scene of act the audience was hearty in its applause. The orchestra was smooth and balanced and gave an excellent support. Miss Greco, as we mentioned above, was always satisfying, and her singing of "Ah forS lui," was artistically done.
 The vocal ensemble added much to the opera as sung last night. There were no uneven spots and or chestra and singers seemed to have arrived at complete knowledge of all that the text demanded. A mel odiouS opera in Verdi's best style '"Traviata" offered splendid oppor- tunity for this group of singers, and was given practically in its entire ty, no omissions in the vocal score.
 The performance last night was an innovation in Waterbury and shows that the city is ready for operatic music in big way. Last nights showing was a Charles L. Wagner production presented by Samuel WasSerman under the aus pices of the Mattatuck Musical Art Society War Service Committee Mrs. J. Winfred Beecher took charge of the local arrangements Desire Defrere was stage director, and Attillo Marchetti orchestra manager.
 The costuming was gay and new and the opera on the whole was Metropolitan in flavor. The sing CTS are from that association and all are seasoned artists. The suc- cess of last nights gala affair gives promise of more of this type of en- tertainment, and Verdi opera Martha" in English is booked for April 26, 1945, when it is anticipat- ed over three thousand music 1ov- CTS will be happy to enjoy another splendid performance.-M.
