 The admission charge will be $1.0O, and refreshments will be served without further charge. plains and green battlefields, homes have been demolished, mothers have been raped, children killed and evacuated, educational institutions have been bombed and burned, churches collapsed under the heavy strain of gruelling war fare, economic, industrial and commercial means have been de- pleted - and a war has been won! The newspapers boldly boast of the expense of the war = yes, billions of dollars, yet, what are dollars compared to the many lives lost in the struggle? Or compared to all the grim atrocities involved? ? What Price War?
 "This past war;" as the eminent observers put it, twas a. great war" Highly mechanical ma chimes, terrific bombs, gun-loaded ships, sleek submarines, huge air going machines, and the physical, mental and scientific power of United Nations, all played a vital part in the struggle for the right to live under democratic princi- ples - unmolested by so-called master races" To that end, America has reached the halfway mark. The battlefelds are quiet, the victor is coming home, What Now America?
 True sons of yours, gave their lives and fortunes, to prolong your reign as a democratic guide-light to the world. Yet it is hardly con- ceivable that you practice what you fought for. Wars are ours, but whose is the peace? No na- tion, however conceived and dedi- cated to the equality and brother hood of man, can long endure when it marvels in the suppress sion of the rights of other peo- pie. In spite of color, race, religion or conditions of previous servitude, i all the people of America have strenuously combined time, effort and money to preserve the right to live and think in terms of de- mocracy.

 The problems evolving from this state have been labeled as the Negro problem" or the Jewish problem" Yet it seems that the problem of any people living un- der and supporting a government based on free principles, should be the concern of the government in-

 uuets while he's alive and can smell them. So here's fragrant nosegay for my readers: please don't be too hard on the editor and me. Someone asked me the other day why the Hartford CHRON- ICLE doesn't have more than eight pages. My answer was this: 'eWhen baby is born, it is not the age of twenty-one at birth. It has twenty years, eleven months and three weeks before it reaches the ripe age of twnty-one. So give the Hartford CHRONICLE chance; it is still in it's infancy and there are more pages to come.
 Here is Something hot off the stove. I dropped in to see MT. Ralph Kama the other day, the manager of WONS Broadcasting Station. He is very fine man to talk with. As you know WONS is a Yankee hook-up and it has some good programs on that station. Such stars as Bing Crosby on the Sunday program at 1:45 pm. - Dinah Shore at 2:45 pm. - and the Shadow at pm. which you know is yours truly's favorite pro- gram. So this week we hope to have a listing of the Sunday pro- grams, outlined for your good and happy listening, and swell Sunday at your radio.
 Judging from my recent fan mail, here's what the boys and girls are beefing about. They want more of this column. Well, dear readers, there's just one thing to do. Drop line to the editor and tell him you want more of We'll, Whaddya Know. @
 Judging from the recent tip, Nosey Ned gave out. I think all tips should be analysed whether they are direct or indirect. They should always go through a pro- cess.
 Up The Ladder Of Progress
 If your man is ambitious, en- courage him. One of the faults of the race today is the fact that we are all there to pull one down, but very few are there to push one forward. What we are trying to do is go forward - not back wards. So if your man, or your woman is ambitious give them a hand.
 There are so many things we need in Hartford today with the that we have. We dc not even own a drug store. I am quite sure there is room for two drug stores if there is room for forty churches among us. So, how about a drug store, a shoe store, and a hat store. There's plenty of room.
 We'll, the way things look, I can't give my readers that P. O. I talked aicout in my col umn last week. I have not received the letter I was waiting for. Please bear with me, girls, I will pass it on to you just as soon as I re- ceive it.
 I understand that MT. Preston Harris is having a contest for the of the CHRONICLE. There are to be prizes for the boys selling the largest number l of subscriptions. Just as soon as all information is available, I will pass it on to you. In the meantime, support your newsboys by buying the HARTFORD CHRONICLE.

La Traviata' Fluctuates
In Vocal, Acting Excellence

his heroine Is not suited to Miss
Garrotto, for the bravura passages
do not come out clearly and the
high tones are shrill and produced
with effort. In the lower registers,
the quality has warmth and appeal,
but the important music, such as
the first-act aria, calls for a bril-
liancy and security she does not
have. She is emotionally capable
as an actress and in this way she
made the best impression, a genuine
feeling that was communicative
animating all her scenes. The tragic
development of the story was spaced
skillfully in her acting and she,
more than any of the others, kept a
sure grasp on the sympathy of the
audience, meriting the applause that

Budapest Quartet

Anniversary
BY Elena de Soyn

The 10th anniversary of the Whit
tall Foundation in the Library of |
Congress was celebrated last night
with a concert given by the Buda-
pest String Quartet and performed
on the instruments made an Anto-
MO Stradivari. Presented to the
Library in 1885 by Gertrude Clarke
Whittall, who sought for them q
permanent home and adequate pro-
lection, these instruments have been
used for public performance since
their debut in the Coolidge Auditor
ium on January 10, 1885, in a concert
played by the Stradivarius String
Quartet of New York, assisted by
Louis Krasner, violinist, and Beryl
Rubinstein, pianist, and sponsored
by Mrs. Whittall.
The subsequent establishing of the
foundation, the building of the pa
vlllon where the collection is kept
In special case and the generous
provision made for more than a
score of annual concerts at which
these instruments are played were
further gifts of Mrs. Whittall.

Library, where two concerts were
given. The formal annual observ-
ance Of Stradiveri's death ami
versary took place in the Coolidge
Auditorium in December, 1886, when
eight concerts were presented by
various chamber music Organizations.
Since then, the foundation has
sponsored recitals by a number of
ensemble groups and individuals

While the second number on the
program, Quartet in E fiat Major,

and of more serious nature, it
was as pleasing to the ear by the
contrasts it offered. While the

Although there was nothing new
In the performance Of Verdis la
Traviata" last night in Constitu-
tion Hall, the Philadelphia La Scala
Opera Company's last production
of the season here was greeted
with the greatest enthusiasm. Two
Metropolitan Opera singers ap-
peared in the cast; Nino Martini
as Alfredo and Donald Dickson as
his father, and Nuncy Garrotto
took the part of Violetta. The Phila-
delphians brought for the remaining
roles their dependable singers and
the chorus and orchestra, directed
by Giuseppe Bamboschek, main
tained their customary standards.
1t was performance, however,
that fluctuated in both vocal and
acting excellence. Mr.. Dickson did
by far the best singing of the eve
ming and was roundly applauded,
but he has done nothing since he
last essayed the role here to make
the character of Germont, pere,
sympathetic. His attempts at act
ing are slight and unconvincing
and were 1t not Tor the dne, Opu-
lent quality of his voice, and that
he really knows how to use it to
the best advantage, his portrayal
would not stand out.
Mr.. Martini, on the contrary, COM
pletely visualized the lover, Alfredo,
and while he reached no impressive
heights in a dramatic way, he has
the experience to emphasize a point
sufficiently with a light touch. His
easy and graceful manner of NOV
ing around the stage can hold the
attention and the elegance appro-
pritate to the part are naturally ex-
pressed. He sang better than he
did at his last performance and it
is pleasant singing. There have
been tenors with finer voices heard
in the role, but very few who could
mpersonate it so fully.
Vocally, the music Verdi has given
