Carmen Opens Opera Season
With Promise of Success

here lies her greatest talent. The
role of Carmen has long been a
provocative one, both to singers
and the public, and for complete
satisfaction to be attained Is a
task that still awaits the one born
to the part.
While her singing of the two
arias of the first act was well plan
ned in the use Of nuance, the card
scene held more of warmth and
thrilling realism vocally. Such
glimpses OF a deeper power in both
singing and acting makes the blan-
dishments of Carmen, in which she
was not very convincing, seem not
her forte.
In Mr.. Gerard the public welcomed
a new tenor whose voice has fresh
ness and appeal and who comes
nearer to visualizing the personal
| charm Don Jose must have pos
sessed. His department. on the stage
is easy and has a certain elegance
and he uses his voice with a like
freedom. The more dramatic mo-
ments did not draw the same depth
from him as they did from Miss
Resnik, but his acting had a nat.
uralness that went long way to.
ward making his portrayal out
standing.
For the suayity and public ad-
dress that comes from long expert.
ence, Alexander Sved as Escamillo
was a dominating figure. His was
polished performance, with more
care exerted than in previous ap-
pearances, and he made of the
toreador a personality of distinc-
ton. Ethel Barrymore Colt was cast
as Micaela and while her voice is
not Of grand opera caliber and has
little in it's smallness to give 1t
carrying power, it is sweet toned
and her characterization was ap-
pealing.
Carlo Tomanelli as Zuniga and
Luigi Molle as Morales filled the
demands of their roles capably, as
did Lydia Edwards as Frasquita
and Nell Kinard as Mercedes. The
two smugglers, Ell Dancairo and Ell
Remendado, were amusingly por-
trayed by Constance Sorvino and
Mr.. Molle. A fiery little dancer
Carmencita Lopez, led the ballet in
the second act.
The jinx of opera in Constitution

The Washington Grand Opera
Co. began its third year last night
with performance of Carmen in
Constitution Hall and, with every
seat filled, the season promises to
be a successful one. Several new
singers were introduced locally
headed by Regina Resnik in the
name part, supported by Jacques
Gerard in the role of Don Jose
Both these artists are new at the
Metropolitan Opera and are re-
freshing additions to the operate
roster.
Miss Resnik has fine combina-
ton of youth and poise and a voice
that Is Of strong and vibrant
quality throughout it's extensive
range. In reality soprano, she
has enough dark coloring to fit the
contralto demands of the gypsy cir.
role without effort or break of any
kind. AS an actress, she is assured
and her intelligent conception op-
Grated in every scene.
Her Carmen, however, is not a
seductive creature and in this
respect she missed some high
spots where this characteristic could
be put in action. When drama
was called for, her acting was
pointed up and 1t would seem that

 Textiles First on Grill
 First to receive attention is the textile industry, which has baked at every effort to induce 1t to pro- duce urgently needed materials, particularly for low-cost garments. To break the holdup, the o. P. A. has authorized a 15 per cent boost in the price of clothing bought by working people.

Labor Advances
 By
 Ruth DembO

There has been a good deal of talk recently about developing the port and harbor facilities of New London and Groton in order to cre- ate more industrial activity in this area. Job layoffs, lower wages, and a feeling of insecurity about the future of full employment for this locale have aroused serious thought on the part of the local citizenry about what can be done.
 Many veterans who have re- turned to the New London area are leaving for other cities because they say that New London does not offer them the jobs they want. They are disappointed because New London has not changed, during all the war years they have been away, to keep up with the great changes of the times.
 Those persons who work for a living or are engaged in local bus mess activity feel that 1t would be highly beneficial to the New Lon- don-Groton community If the nat ural port facilities of New London could be developed to put New London on the map as an industrial seaport where it rightfully belongs.
 Certainly the great naval activ- ity which New London has enjoyed for years points to the feasibility of such development, Many more docks could easily be constructed along our coast line to take care of all types of shipping. The ad- vocates of such plan say that 1t could be done without the tremen- dous costs 1t would take say to develop the harbor of Bridgeport, which the government is consider ing due to the good work of some progressive-minded citizens there.
 By developing our harbor we would also have a better selling point in encouraging new industry to come here, since shipping would no longer be a problem. New in- dustry would provide jobs for workers here who are being laid off and would also help provide jobs for returning veterans. It would increase business activity in New London many times and make this a more prosperous area. All people in this vicinity then would benefit.
 The issue has been taken up many times before with no appar- ent success. But the time seems to be ripe now for action on this vi- tai question. Many local officials have been awakened to the prob lem, many businessmen are be- hind 1t, and working people have always favored it. Local veterans will add their voice, too, if their help is needed. It would seem that NOW is the time for coalition of all these forces to build a better and more prosperous community. That is after all one of the things we've been fighting for. If not New London will be the same 25 years from now, Hand of the termites and un-brave!"
