BY Alice Eversmon

A lovely moon in a clear sky gave
assurance last night that there
would be no capricious changes ir
the weather for the Lyric Opera
Associations performance Of "Rigo-
letto" at the Water Gate. The after
noon rain storm kept few from at
tending and the audience, If not As
sizeable as at other productions, was
representative Of that branch of the
local public that likes opera. This
particular opera Of Verdi's may not
have so general an appeal as "Travi-
alta" or Aida" for there is little
relief from the tragedy that stalks
through the four acts and the Ten
sion is always high.
Yet the music offers choice mo-
ments for the singers and the act
ing possibilities of each role have
never been exhausted. A few bari
tones have made memorable the
part Of Rigoletto, and Robert Weede,
IL he did not sketch q new picture
Of the court Jester. was forceful and
competent in his portrayal. His
voice is a splendid one that never
goes near the fringe Of its lmita-

with finish and has a nice, polished
way Of delivering all the music. Her
runs, staccato passages and trills
are crisp and pure and in these the
smallness of the actual volume of
her voice is not SO apparent. She
has not yet worked out the histri-
onic angle of the role sufficiently
and this should not be difhcult for
her. for she has ease Of movement
on the stage.
Last night was an eyentful occa-
sion for George Roberts, for he

The role could stand also for more
exaggeration on the acting side

siderably.
One Of the things we personally
never dreamed Of seeing in this

the ghosts of a long line of blue

applauded her courageous tossing
aside of tradition. She is most
attractive person on the stage snd
presented the youthful, unspoiled
appearance the character calls for.
The babyish quality of her lower

circumstances but this portion of
her voice should have something

Textron is a holding company

The Textron hearings started

The announcement brought
charges from CIO Textile work

from 5000 to $1,000 per session
The proposal also includes a

into their own pockets to meet

He added that it also is "un-

margin by which the COP no.

Confident that Dewey has
enough rural and smaller city
strength to put him over, these
Republicans were intent on cut
ting down the usual Democratic

For that reason Cook County
Republicans were reported de-
termined to match or exceed the

Similarly, Republicans will try

With the general election a
week oft, North Carolina Re-

back to 1928 today and hoping
that history would repeat itself.
In that year North Carolina
Democrats split over the candi-
dacy of AL Smith, and as a re-
suit the states electoral vote
went to Herbert Hoover. For
good measure, the Republicans
elected two congressman in the
state.
State COP Chairman Sim A.
Delapp Of Lexington asserted that
Republican chances of winning
North Carolina's IA electoral
votes are mighty good
cts the best opportunity
we've had since 1928, and we'll
make a good showing on the
State ticket" too Delapp added.
State Democratic leaders, also
recalling 1928, pointed out that
then the States top ranking
Democratic leader the late Sen
ator Fernifold M. Simmons led
the Democratic rebellion. This
year. they pointed out. the party
leadership is supporting Presi-
