When the 26 year-old San Carlo
Opera Co. comes to the Worth
Theater, it will bring the legend
of a man whose remarkable rise
is almost as fantastic as some of
the strange tales told by the Op-
that he could make opera popular
with everybody at reasonable
prices. “Opera for everybody" be-
came a religion with Fortune
Gallo. .
He- reorganised his company
and took the name San Carlo from
a famous Italian company. He
persuaded the aging Lililoukalani,
ex-queen of Hawaii, who was liv-

attend his opera. The resulting
A move by Mrs. Mattie H. Hine
to recover $2000 worth of liquor

the signal today for a quick flank
maneuver by the District Attor-
ney's office."

COME of these men who
D now being dismissed went
through the turbulent period of
the war and post-war financing
and through the inflation which
burst in 1 929 and then on through
the banking crisis of 1933. Yet
their experience and knowledge is
being thrown out of the window
and a green crew is being hired.
If there is one place in the Gov-
ernment where stability, experi-
ence, informed judgment and
sureness of touch is needed it is
in the Treasury and the Federal
Reserve Board. If we had that
perhaps the rumor mongers would
not find such credulous listeners.

A L SMITH’S threat of a walk-
A out at the Democratic Na-
tional Convention may kill off the
Administration plan to abolish
the two-thirds rule atPbiladel
phia. Expecting there would be
no opposition to Roosevelt, this
was thought to be an ideal time
for burying the trick rule which
has plagued so many Democratic
conventions. But if there is go-
ing to be any serious floor oppo-
sition to Roosevelt, the move may
not be so advisable. Unless the
Administration wants to invite a
steam-roller charge. .. .
After hearing Al Smith accuse
the Administration of inconsisten-
cy and vice versa, the bewildered
voter is apt to conclude that the
height of superfluity is two poli-
tieians accusing each other of
changing words in the middle of a
tune. . . .
It looks now as if the Admin-
istration program is to get the
bonus bonds out before election
and the tax bill in after it. . . .
