LIE washington ClNlC OpCA q
Association last night presented
the first Of two performances
OF Franz Lehar's beautiful
operetta. The Merry Widow"
in an English version adapted
by DR.. Frederick Fall, who was
also the productions pro-
Queer. musical director and
conductor.
The slight story on which
one Of the most fetching Of all
operetta scores is hung has to
do with the mythical state OF
Marsovia. The general idea
is to get Prince Danilo married
to the fabulously rich widow Of
the title, whose millions will
save the bankrupt country.
The tomfoolery Of the plot
need detain no one for long
however. For it. Lehar has
written music which is peren-
nially young and full Of
romance and charm, and this is
the reason why THE Merry
Widow" will continue to delight
people as long as operetta itseli
delights people.
With a single exception. the

Every year Richard Dirksen
produces an opera with the
students Of 81. Adams School
and the National Cathedral
School for Girls. Sometimes the
shows are Gilbert and Sullivan,
but on three occasions he has
written original operas for the
event. which is always a lot OF
fun for the participants and
which invariably draws capac-
ity audiences.
Some years luck favors Mr.
Dirksen with good singers. but
even when the two schools dc
not have students with fine
voices. the composer feels that
their lack is only an added
challenge. The annual opera
must be produced-he takes
his chances and develops what
resources he can find. II is q
highly winning kind Of music
making.
Last night. when the pre-.
miere Of THE Rose and the
Ring" took place. it was ap.
parent that there were M
good singers in the large cast
but there was a considerable
amount Of good showmanship
The opera, arranged by thu

from a story of William Make
piece Thakeray. is a rollickinl
piece Of witches and magic anC
clustering kings and pompouI
countries and princes anC
chambermaids in love. and thu
cast played everything fol
laughs. which it got from frs
to last.
Mr.. Dirksen played his scorI
on the piano, directed thu
singers on stage, cursed TIN
fiagrantly casual lighting back

in the pit to a high degree o
enthusiasm.

THE show.
Other good performance
were turned in by Sandr

ERECTION was carried out wit
general ebullience and littl
circumstances. What wa
lacking, and that 1t is so sci
dom found in amateurs is nc
to say that it is impossible, wa
timing. Speeches were too ofte

Jomn Underdog
In Last Leg Of
Trotting Classic

INGLEwOOD, Calf, Nov.
II (AP).-Jamin, the French
trotting champion, is a slight
underdog to Americas Senator
Frost today in the final leg
of the $4,000 American Trot-
ting Classic.
Jamin. driven by Jean Riaud
of Paris, won the first leg in
1:594s for the mile, while
Senator Frost, the 4-to-5 ia
vorite. broke stride and finished
seventh.
However. a week later Driver
Dick Buxton brought Senator
Frost through a hole on the
rail in the stretch to take the
second leg in 1859 fiat. In
today's final leg, Jamin has
drawn the rail, while Senator
Frost must start from the No. Z
post on the extreme outside.
Others entered today are
Jariolain, Charming Barbara,
Darn Safe, Steamin' Demon
and Trader Horn. Any one
of these has the credentials to
upset and force q race-off.
In this case, Jamin would
have to yield his claim to the
title by default. Because of
prior commitments, he must
leave for Europe tomorrow.

RICHMOND, Nov. II (AP).-
The University Of Virginia last

ball game receipts. Nearly
$4,000 remained unspent at.the

This surplus, added to a
$25, 900 balance from the pre-
ceding fiscal year. left the uni
versity's athletic department
with a net surplus Of $34,43l

The report, required under
provision of State law, was
made to Budget Director L. M.
