Summer Season of Opera Recalls
Obstacles to Permanent Undertokino
By Alice Eversmon

Another lone opportunity to
hear grand opera will be given
music lovers of this city when the
Philadelphia Civic Grand Opera
Company comes to the Watergate
next Sunday for a ten-day season
Verdi's colorful aida" will be the
first offering followed, on Tues
day, by the same composers
"Rigoletto." The rest of the rep
ertoire consists of familiar operas
that have been given each sum
mer and during the few years
that opera performances in
Constitution Hall were part OF
the musical calendar.
Whenever opera is presented
here. the old story of how the Ma
tion's Capital is the only one
without a permanent opera, and
Its lack of proper hall for even
visiting companies, comes to mind.
This is all true and regrettable
yet the problem of having sea-
son of opera would not be solved
by constructive action on this
line. World conditions make the
giving of opera more and more
difficult. This particular branch
of music is suffering, and will
suffer, from rising costs of every
thing to a greacer degree than is
felt by any other large scale musi-
cal undertaking.
Opera cannot be produced
without grea+ outlay to more
unions than need be contacted
by other groups. From this point
alone, prices have skyrocketed
and the demands and restrictions
increased. A stationary company
such as the Metropolitan must
cope with enormous back-scene
operations in addition to prohibi-
tive augmentation of other costs.
Transportation, for travelling
organization. Is very expensive
and difficult and each city visited
has its own union requirements
that must be met. It is not pos
sible, as in former years to bring
live opera. first rate in every par
ticular, to all the sections of the
country.
Prospects Grow DINNER.
The Metropolitan Opera broad
casts have made the public like
and desire opera. Its tours nave
been successful. The study OF
operatic repertoire has increased
in schools and Conservatives
There are many singers, fully
qualified as to voice and tempera-
ment, hoping for a career in the
limited number of places now
available. But the prospects for
enlarging the opportunities, or
even for keeping those now in
existence going. grow DINNER
each year. The cost of produciog
opera and preparing for it, is the
drawback. When it is presented
lavishly. it is too expensive for
general consumption. If it is
given in an adequate but still
rather meager style. the public

Stamp News
By James WoIdo Faweett

rule. Having announced that only
five stamps would be issued this
year. he now has contradicted
that statement by disclosing that

of the kind was coming up were
printed in the New York Times
on May a.. Representative John
Lesinski, jr,, of Michigan, is the
sponsor of the extra" adhesive.
He had introduced a bill calling
for such a label April IS. and ''the
Postmaster General liked the idea
and adopted it." This develop
ment, Of course, will open the
doors to other appeals for new
stamps and half a dozen of them
may be added to the pending list.
Cadillac, the Dictionary of
American Biography says, was a
French army officer. born about
1856, who came to America in
1888 and was put in command of
the fort at Mackinac in 1894. He
planned a post on the Detroit
River. which would protect the

the sort of fellow Bill was.
Then the tide of the wal
changed a few weeks ago. The
Marines and other United Nations
troops surged back into North
Korea, made fast time for a while
and then slowed down in the fact
of the strongest opposition yet en-
countered. The enemy had fresh
troops with plenty of artillery and
orders to stand and die.

attacked all along the line and
the enemy fought back viciously
Casualties mounted.
Last night, I heard an uncon-

hit in the leg. I almost sighed
with relief because sometimes a
leg wound can be serious enough
to get a Marine sent home, YET
not bad enough to MAIN him fol
life. We call them million dollar
wounds"
AS soon as it was light this
morning, I set out in the rain tc
try to find Bill at one of the
medical companies. I took alone
a letter from his wife, some sta
tionery, and the news that he
would be promoted to sergeant
this week. Bill had been a cor
poral nearly eight years.
They had no record of him al
the field hospitals. I felt pretty
good about that. I figured the
whole thing had just been a
rumor.
When I got back to the division
command post they told me he
was dead.

Bill had been killed when an
enemy mortar shell burst in the
middle of the assault platoon he
was with. He never knew what
hit him, they told me. His body
couldn't be brought out for a
while because the North Korean
hill he died on was still under
fire. But there was no question
about it; he was dead.
Twas stunned. The first thought
picture that flashed across my

laughed a great deal because lie
was happy and cheerful. Then a
