those fortunate enough to be present
(iraziani distinguished himself particu-
larly in the "Pace e gioia," given with
amusing restraint, while Hartolos "La
Calunnia" created great hilarity. l>on
Hartolo was imbued with the comical spirit
and sang his role excellently. Mugenia

u humorous touch and N. Ponce as Fiorello
completed the cast.
The chorus of men also outdid former
good work and the histrionic talents of the
signally gifted east always lavishly i;i ev-

spontaneous humor of the opera.
At the afternoon performance, Verdi's

"The full realization of Lenin's program

before him. for from most accounts the
pr« sent state of corruption is worse than
under the old region- The enemies of

from all sides. The new policy outlined
by Lenin reads like the last phase of a
government that has lived by violence and
