power. Her conception of the part,
however, was not dramatic
enough and her youthful appear

the terrifying effect usually asso-

lesser roles were taken by Laurene
Buttlar, John Lawler. George Tai

respectively.
Much credit goes TO Nicholas

By Alice Eversmon

Cinema technique saved the
San Carlo Operas performance Of
Verdis I'll Trovatore" last night
at the Watergate. 1t created per-
haps the first occasion when two
sopranos appeared in the same
part, the one acting and appar-
emily singing on the stage. the
other providing the real voice and
singing the arias and ensembles
off stage. These two courageous
sopranoes were Gertrude Ribla
and Leona Scheunemann. 1t hap
pened like this:
Miss Ribla was scheduled to
sing the leading role of Leonora
as her second performance with
the company, having sung the
title role of what was given of
Aida" on Tuesday. That was the
night of the sudden, furious storm
and Miss Ribla shared the
drenched condition her audience
suffered. No bad effects developed
until yesterday and by perform
ance time she could hardly utter
a sound.
Frantic Search Made.
A frantic search for a last min
ute substitute was made, but only
two sopranos ready for the part
were discovered. One had sung it
only in German and the other
was Miss Scheunemann whose
Micaela in Mondays Carmen, =
made strong impression. Com
plications arose when it became
known that Miss Scheunemann,
well versed in the Italian ver-
sion, had never acted the role.
1t was finally decided that Miss
Ribla would attempt to sing, and
the first scene was completed
with some of the Leonora music
cut out. 1t was then announced
that the opera would go on with
the ghost singing of Miss Sche-
unemann in the wings and the
action supplied by Miss Ribla on
the stage.
So well did this work out that
we will be harboring a suspicion
hereafter even when listening to
the Metropolitan. 1t would re-
quire, however, artists skilled both
in music and in the theater to put
it across. Miss Ribla gave a
splendid performance of the role
Her mouth formed the words and
her acting emphasized every in
fiection. Beautiful costumes and
a regal stage bearing completed
the picture and needed only Miss
Riblas luscious voice to make the
role memorable.
If possessing not quite so large
a voice as the silent songstress
Miss Scheunemann has much OF
the same fine quality. She sang
the music beautifully and the CO.
ordination between the two artists
was perfect. Through the finish
of Miss Scheunemann's singing
the full emotional impact of the
music reached the audience in a
remarkable way. In poised vocal
ism, clear diction, warmth of tone
and polished phrasing.i It was an
exhibition of artistry seldom
equalled. And not a flaw entered
into the tricky ensembles.
Singing Exceptional.
Alessandro Granda as Manrico
and Anton Marco as Count di
Luna rivaled each other. Both did
some exceptional. singing and
made the contrasting characters
notable by their acting. Mary

The CLERGY SPEAKS

It is sometimes asked how
men and women can know the
will Of God when a decision
has to be made. It is necessary
to remember that the guild
ance of Cd is not a momen-
tary direction as though it
came from an automatic ma
chine. We must train ourselves
to listen. BE still, and know"
Not just a single answer but a
lifelong enlightenment. Direc-
ton comes in a time of crisis
It we are willing to be led all
the time. BY living happily
with parents children learn for
themselves what kind of
thlngS give grief or pleasure
in the home. Slender acquain-
lance does not afford this
knowledge.
What the Lord would have
US to do can be learned from
reading the Scriptures, from
waiting on God in prayer,
from public worship, from the
known experiences of other
good men and women, and
also from doing what we un-
derstand, at the time, to be His
will for US, Knowing what His
will is, and then not doing it,
because we do not like it, will
always stand in our way to
know more of His will.
Lives of unselfish service
develop moral character, be-
come more and more conscious
OF moral standards, and are
able, through the Holy Spirit
to form true judgements as to
what is right or what is wrong.
Following after righteousness
will always give a feeling that
our steps are being ordered by
the Lord, not following after
righteousness cannot possibly
give that feeling, and when
pleasing Him becomes our
greatest desire He will give
us to know what His will is for
us.

OFF TO A GOOD START
THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY. under

bills have been passed the Legislators have studied those pre-
sented, have engaged in discussions, and generally laid the
groundwork for what is to take place. That is the way things
areto be done, for unless attention is given to detail and
the groundwork is laid, much of what is to take place in the
future will be lost.
II is NOTHING new that there is great satisfaction at
the way things are being done. This paper, along with Others,
long conducted a campaign for cooperation and understand
ing, realizing that little or no progress could be made other
wise, and that SO long as legislators were thinking in terms of
their own little areas and interests, nothing could be pro-
duced. But it is different now, and there is still greater hope
that having seen the ACCESSIBILITY of working together, that the
maximum results will be reached for, and that this session of
the Assembly, as the last, will end to the credit Of men whose
maturity is established
THE TIME is certainly coming when legislators will
have to think in terms Of the Virgin Islands as a political unit,
and that in order to get the best possible results, one body
might have to sit and work out plans and pass the necessary
laws. Already there is thought of electing a governor, which
is the right of every group in a democratic system, And i. is
nothing unusual that one legislative body has to represent
groups and sections having varying interests. And to bear
this out one has only to think of New York State, for example.
Legislators have to think OF, and represent the dairy farmers
and poultry rasers of up state, and the clothing and fnan-
cial interests of the great metropolitan centers, yet all are ef-
fecively represented. And there is no reason for any greater
problems to face us in these islands. But in order to get the day
when this can be done, the present effective work must be
continued and extended.
IF H MAXIM that a thing well begun is half done, it
is safe to say that this session of the Legislative Assembly will
be productive Of great things. There is no reason why it
should be otherwise.

of the United Nations and Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz yesterday
said they opposed any move to
reorganize the United Nations and
exclude Communist countries.
Referring indirectly to the pro-
posal by former President Hoover
to organize the u. N. again with
out the Russians, Mr.. Price told
visiting newspaper executives that
such a step was not the answer
THE answer is not to restore the
old balance of power" Mr.. Price
said during a short talk in his
office. You would have three
worlds if that would happen" He
was referring to the Western
powers. the opposing Soviet bloc
and the smaller countries which
would be in the middle.
Admiral NimitZ, designated as
plebiscite administrator for KaSh-
mir, told the editors it would be
a great error" to try to reorganize
the U. N. and leave "out some
countries we can't get along with
