grand opera. 1t gave his listeners a
chance to think for moment, which
was to say, or ask, something about
the grand opera star who had gone
into the movies in the past.
One was remembering, then, the
early pictures in which the cinema
was starring Grace Moore, Gladys
Swarthout, Lily Pons, Nino Martini,
Martineli and all the others who
have now disappeared from the
cinema.
They don't make the same mis-
takes, now," Mr.. Melchior said.
And, having said it, he paused to
reflect for moment.
"The trouble was they had only
one story to go with the first people
they got from grand opera. That
was the one about how any one be-
came a star in grand opera, what
hard work it was-which it is-and
all that"
TT soon wore out" it was suggest
ed to the tenor of the Metropolitan.
"It did," he agreed.
Metro GOldWyn Mayer, with
whom many have not agreed in the
past, is Mr.. Melchior'S notion of
the studio that has done the most to
bring good music, and good musi-
clans, to the attention of the gen.
eral, or movie, public.
He lets his interviewer think for
himself under the circumstances,
but if the. former thinks properly,
Mr.. Melchior is not. unlikely to
agree with him.
The thing the interviewer is sup
posed to think is that the movies
suddenly have discovered there is
more to the great artist than his de-
votion to great music.
When he gets on that subject, Mr..
Melchior does not mention his own
picture. On the contrary, he speaks
of something like Music for Mil
lions" which was screened vester.

 Mayor Monagan said the six po- licemen at the game were paid in effect by the people who attended the game rather than by the general public of the city.

 The mayor replied that in the case of the game the crowds on the high way would not ordinarily be there except for the game.
 Does that mean, Commissioner interjected, that they (the athletic board) must be penal Ized because they have a game once 3 year instead of once a day?"
