Speaking of Funk, it IS

There's no excuse for swearing

About the time some men

be subjected to provisions designed
particularly for longshoremen," &C.
cording to the current issue of the
Washington Board of Trade News.
Increased rates for workmen's
compensation insurance here av-
eraging approximately 80 per cent
will cost employers about $l,000,-

cipally because Of legislation last

Amendment Approved.
Congress last June approved leg

of an amendment to the Longshore-

Mario Pasquetto achieved the
really notable feat Of making his
audience feel at ease as he sang
the role of Rhadames. He ap-
parently had no fear of the "Ce-
lesta Aida" aria and his splendid
voice scared to the high finale
without any strain. Its timbre is
distinctive and he knows how to
produce his tones so that no effort
is visible. He does not outstrip
other Rhadameses In the matter
of putting credence and personality
into his acting. but much can be
forgiven him for the comfort OF
hearing the difficult music well
sung.
Virile Portrayal of King.
Personality came on the stage

guised in the makeup of the
Ethiopian king, Amonastro. But
he gave a virile portrayal of the
character and sang with full ano
resonant tone. Victor Tatozzi was
a most dignified Egyptian king, his
great height and gray beard giving
him a more kindly air than the
father of the spiteful Amneris
might be supposed to have had
The music of the high priest did
not lie well for John Dimos, whose
voice has not the depth and sonor-
ity to convey the sinister intentions
of the priest. John Rossi as the
messenger and Dee Sherman as a
priestess completed the cast.
Several concessions had to be
made to the Water Gate stage, such
as bringing the chorus of priestesses
and their leader into the temple
scene, where ordinarily they sing
off stage. The scenery was more
appropriate than in previous pro-
ductions and the lighting accentu-
atea the vivid colols SO that the
rich effect was applauded. The La
Scala Ballet, a group of attractive
young women, danced well and the
prima ballerina, Lucia Sandos, was
a glittering figure in her solo dance.
On the whole, this opera was the
best of the first week of the festival
both as to production and as to
cast. Tonight, Rossini's Barber of
Seville" will be given with Bruno

1t is regrettable that the Lyric
Opera Association was not able to
begin its season at the Water Gate
with the presentation OF Verdi's
Aida Postponed from the Open
ing night on account of bad wealth
er to last night, the production
proved to be the most carefully de-
signed and the best rehearsed OF
what has been heard so far. 1t had
an opulent look due principally to
the very colorful and sometimes
elaborate costumes which, while the
effect in a hall might have been
garish, frightened up the outdoor
setting considerably. The music
moved along more spiritedly than
heretofore and Pietro Cimara, the
director, got quite animated re-
turns from the chorus in several
of the big ensemble numbers.
Florence Kirk, member Of the
Metropolitan Opera, sang the title
role. In both her singing and ker
acting there was assurance ano
stage knowledge that occasionally
was marked with originality. Her
voice is full and free. so that she
was able to convey the strong emo
ton that runs through the arias
and manage the taxing and sus-
tanned ensembles with ease. This
