FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

EXAMINATION: Tenor
Enrico Caruso was once
scheduled to sing at the State
Opera in Berlin. He checked
in at the Hotel Adlon, that
city's most famous hotel.
On the morning of the per-
formance, he complained of a
sore throat. The hotel doc
tor was summoned, reports
Heda Adlon in Hotel Adlon." )"
What seems to be the
trouble?' asked the doctor.
THE singer, who under
stood very little German,
made a gesture of despair
and then opened his mouth
and pointed down his throat.
The doctor got a throat
mirror out of his bag and
said:
Say "ah."
This request, which was
not understood, led to some
confusion. The singers sec
retary rushed into the next
room and came back with a
tuning fork, with which he
sounded the note A.
"Caruso understood this at
once. He sang a high A of
exquisite purity, and the doc
tor was able to look down
his throat"

one OF extreme beauty as
an actress she is not particu-
larly accomplished. :"
The review by Paul Henry
Lang in the New York Herald
Tribune said in part:
Miss Sutherland is a phe-
nomenal singer possessing a
phenomenal voice. Irresistibly
pure and insinuating in the
higher regions, fully vital in
the middle, it is perhaps a lit
tie weak in the lowest reaches
but what captivates most is the
effortless gliding.
Miss Sutherland did more
than justice to the composer
and to the public, but all her
dramatic capabilities will have
to be judged in some other role.
|. The celebrated mad scene
was superbly done. But .
what made MISS Sutnerlan0 S
performance exciting was the
quality of the singing. -"
John Chapman wrote in the
New York Daily News that Miss
Sutherland has "a voice Of ex-
traordinary brilliant-and ex-
traordinarily true-pitch."
Associated Press Arts Editor
Miles A. Smith wrote that Miss
Sutherland has a magnificent
voice marked by purity, even
in the highest register, and
demonstrated that she was in
full control at every moment" 4"
Mr.. Smith also wrote in part:
Her acting is marked by a
hammered style, but the man.

NLRB May Add
s Pct. Interest
To Back WAGES
BY the Associated Press

Workers found to have beer
deprived of work because oi
unfair labor practices against
them may soon get 6 per cent
interest along with their back
pay awards.
Stuart Rothman, era
counsel of the National Labor
Relations Board, announced to-
day his office will henceforth
demand payment of interest on
illegal wage losses suffered by
workers.
Back pay is awarded en-
ployes having lost wages be-
cause of unlawful discrimina-
ton against them by an en-
ployer or labor union. Addition
of interest charges could in
crease back pay awards con-
siderably in cases that are con-
tested for years in NLRB and
court proceedings.
A frequent example of such
back pay awards comes in cases
of workers discharged for union
activity that they are legally
entitled to engage in under
the Federal labor relations laws.
Back pay awards for the latest
12-month period amounted to
over SIS million.
Mr.. Rothman said that as
Sessment of interest on back
pay awards, as he is proposing,
will have to be approved by
the five-man NLRB as cases
come before the board on ap-
peal. He said no effort has been
made before to add interest
charges to such pay awards.

REPORTER
Gift List With GiooIes

The Christmas season is
almost here and the peren-
nial question is: What to get
for the man who has every
thing. The answer is obvious:
Nothing.
THE IDEAL GIFT for
those who have nothing, and
need everything, is to get
something silly, like a Bud
dhist fly whisk, or something
rare, like an unautographed
photo of Elvis Presley.
The master of sleepytime
luxurieS is a man I never
met. His name is Norman
Dine and he manages a sleep
center in New York. Every
year at this time. he sends
his brochure Of gifts and, as
I read 1t. I twitch and giggle.
Permit me to tell you about a
few items:
A robot cigarette holder,
for smoking in bed. The Gig
arctic is aimed, like a can
non, over an ash tray. From
it is a long coil and a mouth
piece. You can fall asleep
while putting without dis
turbing the fire department.
There are glamorous eye
shades, with tiny embroidered
butterflies in place of eyes,
for those who can't stand
daylight. For an extra dollar,
you can have your monogram
stitched on. in case you for
get who you are.
A Slide-apart canopy bed
sounds innocuouS, but it is
really two beds under one
lacy canopy and a kick by a
big foot can send one half of
the bed across the room. This
can lead to a severance of
diplomatic relations. There is
another bed which assumes
nine different contour posi-
tions. 1t must be great to
press the lever when the other
party is sound asleep.
One of the gifts which
will please dad no end stops
snoring. His, of course. The
ad says: Attach our anti
snore ball to his pajama coat.
This discourages sleeping on
back, cause Of most snoring.
Better yet, use the anti
snore mask to keep mouth
closed and thus prevent t
mouth breathing which often
produces snoring"
If that doesn't slow him
down, there is a device called
Turnover Darling" which
you place under his pillow.
A cord with button extends
under yours. When he snores,
you press the button and a
buzzer under the masters

DEAR ABBY: I wasn't
educated here so please cor
rect my English if I don't
express myself too good.
I don't know a thing about
baseball and 1 am not in
terested in the game, but I
have a nut at home for a
husband. Since Mr.. Maris hit
81 home runs, all I hear
about is the record he set. I
am fed up with this nom
sense.
Let me tell you that I also
set a record. In two years
I gave birth to six children.
The first time I had three
boys, the second time I had
three girls. And, believe me,
that is a record 1 never
heard of before. I would like
to see Mr.. Roger Maris or
any other baseball player tie
a record like that. Please
Abby, remind my husband
that I also set a record and I
am not in the Hall of Fame.

DEAR ABBY: I became
acquainted with a man
through my work. He told me
he wasn't married. He is my
type Of guy and I could get
very serious about him, but
something bothers me. 1 have
called him up numerous times
at his apartment and a
woman has answered the
phone.
He has told me it was his
sister" or a cousin" or a
"neighbor." But I am sure it
is the same woman every
time. How can I find out for
sure whether he is married
or living with someone?

Critics Acclaim Debut
Of Australian Soprano
BY Fronk RobeFee

NEW YORK, Nov. 27 (AP) i.
= Australian Soprano Joan
Sutherland won the acclaim of
critics of New York morning
newspapers today for her Met
ropolitan Opera debut.
The audience gave her sew
eral ovations last night as she
sang the title role of Donizet-
it's Lucia di Lammermoor." r."
Her first appearance on the
stage brought a burst of ap-
plause and applause interrupted
the performance a number Of
times. There was five minutes
of applause in the middle of
the famous mad scene" 1t was
| followed by IL minutes of ap-
| plause and bravas, during
which Miss Sutherland took 10
curtain calls. There was a
standing ovation at the sixth
call.
Harold c. Schonberg wrote
in the New York Times that
"old-timers in the press room
at the Metropolitan Opera
could not remember an equiva-
lent reception"
The Times critic also wrote
in part:
1T would take a long memory
to recall a similarly finished,
virtuosic piece of singing in
Lucia And Miss Sutherland'S
work last night upheld her
reputation as the greatest sing
ing technician before the pub
lie. There is none around
who has the combination of
technique, vocal security, clar-
ity, and finesse that Miss
Sutherland can summon.
