Although there we're several
individual characters who gave
musical and dramatic life to
the Metropolitan Operas Rig
oletto," which opened the COM
pany's two-day stand at the
Capitol last night. the produc-
ton as a whole suffered from a
certain perfunctory listlessness
and from unsatisfactory sing
ing on the part Of Eugenio
Fernando in the role Of the
Duke.
1t is not only Verdi's music
that has made the opera a
continued success for a century,
but also the sanguinary and
ironic story of death and dou-
ble-dealing. The show should
be played as well as sung, but
last night the directing was
unconvincing and the acting
was scarcely better than con-
ventional.
On the other hand, there
was the brilliant coloraturs
singing of Roberta Peters. Not
only did Miss Peters enliver

which she appeared. but she
did the best she could histrioni-
cally. even in that lamentablt

lraditionally, one of the outstanding vir-
tues of the American people has been thrift.
Over the years of pioneering, growing
people created a national standard comprised
of thrift, frugality, hard work, indomitable
courage and strength :. thrift consisted in
saving for the sake of saving :. it repre-
sented responsibility, self reliance, prudence
and conservatism :. .. Today, however, it ap-
pears to be increasingly certain that Ameri-
cans have abandoned those virtues ;. the
outstanding debt of the whole American
people is aStronomically high and this
installment Indebtedness poses a dangerous
threat to economic stability. Even minor
recession of any length, many economists
warn, could bring on a new depression be-
cause the inStallment debtors may have to
default. The entire basis for the success of
American institutions can be said to rest in
the common-senSe, responsible approach to
wealth that is summed up in the single
word Thrift thrift forbidS extravaganza,
whether individual or government +. we
ought to try to find thrift again."

in greater the support and the encouragement of
the communitys elders because of the great dividends
which cost little but which much to pride and
satisfaction of those people who give their aid and
agement.
The young folks who give their time and their whole
hearted effort to the hometown band deserve than
they usually get They spend long hours in practice which
develops their patience their skill and provides them in
great the dcplne amportant to the growing
youth Seldom do teenage problems arise those
who apply themselves to steady training in musical
The community that has any apprecabe number of
youth engaged in musical endeavor has something for which
it may be grateful and proud
The Hometown band, when it has reached stage of
proficiency usually brings much fame to its people The
glow they direct upon their community spreads its lustre
far from home The of pride that becomes the lot of
the parents of these young folks something that will be
increasingly inspiring the band develops in ability talent
and skill
Never let be said of any community that is lacking
degree of the of appreciation for what the home
town band is doing for it. Such organizations worth quite
sacrifice indeed They worth the stranng of mav
points in order that they may be provided with the essential
encouragement and financial aid All hail. the Hometown
band!
