'We cannot afford any letup
in our drive for full citizenship

our effort must be intensified.
We cannot stand still. We dare
not retreat. We must move
ahead"

Opero "FoIstoff''
In English First
Time In Boston

On Sunday afternoon, March l.,
Boris Goldovsky and his company
will present Verdi's "Falstaff"
at the Boston Opera House, at
3 PM. This will be the first time
"Falstaff" has ever been presented
in English in Boston.
The libretto by Arrigo Boito
enjoys a special English transla-
ton edited by Madeline Marshall
OF the Julliard School Of Music
in New York, Boris Goldovsky
of the New England Conservatory
of Music and Sarah Caldwell of
the Boston University School of
Music
The plot of "Falstaff" is an
amusing one about a fat and con-
ceited knight, Sir John Falstaff,
who decides to improve his for
tunes by appealing to the roman
tic desires of two Windsor matrons
Alice Ford and Meg Page. Sir
John sends two identical love
letters to the ladies who COM
pare notes and with the help of
Dame Quickly, a local gossip,
they arrange to teach the fat
nobleman a lesson. FalStaff OBJ
tains a meeting with Mistress
Alice Ford which is interrupted
by the arrival of her husband
Ford, a wealthy burgher. The
ladies, Dame Quickly, Meg Page
and Mistress Ford, in confusion
hide falstaff in a basket of dirty
linen and have him thrown out
the window into the river. Father
Ford meanwhile. tries to stop his
daughter Anne from falling in
love with Fenton, young
gentleman, and tries to marry her
off to the ridiculous and middle
aged Doctor Caius, and in the
final scene of the opera Falstaff
is punished by a band of dis
tinguiShed townspeople whom he
imagines to be evil spirits. There
are innumerable amusing situa-
tions and rollicking fugue
crowns the happy ending of this
brilliant masterwork, generally
conceded to be one of the ultim-
ate glories of Verdi's life and the
Italian opera in general.

obtained from the New England

UPPERVILLE. Va, June 10
On Friday and Saturday, the
horsemen Of Virginia and their
visitors from a dozen States will
get down to the serious business
of celebrating a horse show CEN
tennial. In this neck of the
woods. the occasion is approxi-
mately comparable to Elizabeth's S
coronation or Victoria's diamond
jubilee.
The Upperville Colt and Horse
Show passes it's Tooth birthday
this season. It is officially recog-
nized as the Oldest in the United
States. the first ever to put a
century mark in it's history, and
an institution of national i'm
portance in it's field.
Speaking of its queenly at
tributes. some have compared
Upperville to the late dowager
Queen Mary-austere, tradition
bound and stuffy at times, but
Sprightly at heart. Since the day
in 1853 when Col. Richard Henry
Dulany used a silver trophy to
needle the Loudoun and Fau-
quier farmers to breed better
colts on their farms, "the colt
show has been a sort of family
institution in the heart of the
hunting country. It's first cousin
is the Piedmont Fox Hounds,
progenitors of many other fa-
nous Northern Virginia packs,
and its home is the same farm
where Col. Dulany started all the

Eastern Highs Title
Also Reflects Credit
On SandIot Leagues
By Dick SIoy

Coach Herman Littman of
Eastern High said at the start
of the baseball season that the
team would miss Sonny Wise
and Chick Payne, the battery
signed by the Mats last March.
But don't under-rate this 1858
team" he added.
Before Wise and Payne gradu-
ated. Eastern had the best
pitcher-catcher combination in
the city for three straight years
and the tendency was to overlook
the Ramblers for the Interhigh
championship this season. East
ern promptly won five straight
games and finished with a 60
record, good enough for a first
place tie going into the playoffs.
The Ramblers took the cham
pionship yesterday with a 40
victory over Roosevelt at Griffith
Stadium. Gino D'AmbroSio hit
a grand slam homer in the fifth
inning and Dick Smallwood
pitched a four-hitter, striking
out seven and walking none.
It was not only the first base
ball title for Coach Littman, who
had been at Roosevelt for eight
previous seasons, but it was also
another victory for the summer
sandlot leagues that operate in
the vicinity of the Southeast
school.
All eight of Eastern's regulars,
plus four pitchers, have come up
through the Boys Club of Wash
ington. Merrick Boys Club and
American Legion teams. These
boys have a lot of experience be-
hind them" Littman said after
the game yesterday. Did you

home in that big park?"
