Music, In "I.ucla,"

of thirty-two

declare that his

haa ono regret
nd that Is that
ho had never
studied the part
ef Don Ballustlo In Marchettl's "Ruy Bias,"
which Is to bo the second offering of the
Philadelphia Grand Opera Company's sea-
ion.
"Ttuy Bias Is one of tho most beautiful
ef operas," said he, "but It Is not usually
(n th repertoire. Marchettl was director
of the Conservatory In Rome. He had a
rich, melodic leln, and he poured the
wealth of his musical genius Into this
pHndld work. The first performance of
the opera wai Riven at Ta ijcala, Milan
In 1172. Tho title role Is -for tenor, and
It was In this part that Tlberlnl mado
cne of his greatest successes He wai the
Idol of Italy In his day, but he- neter
came to this country, because In that time
thtr was not the allurement for singers
that now exists."

NO ENGLISHMAN
COULD FEAR THIS
INTERVIEWER
A timid girt reporter) who was having
her first experience as an Interviewer, re
cently went to se Prank Craven, who
pluya tha leading, male role In "Seven
Chunces," which David Oelasco Is sending
to the Oarrlck Theatre for Christmas, It
wns eWdent that she was extremely nrv
ous, First she lost her pencil and then
she dropped her bag, but finally alia swal
lowed hard and began
"What did you do before going on the
stage, Mr. CrsvenT"
"Nothing-," answered Mr. Craven, "except
say goo-goo and kick up my feet."
from this the reporter gathered that Mr,
Craven had been on the stage from the tlio
he was twi yearn old, and thought sfc
would wreak that train of questioning anil
try again.
' I Tow do you spend roost of yojir spars
time''" sh queried.
' I dlId It between John, ray Utile son,
and writing-"
Do you write (or publications?" pursued
the young- wojuan. who had evidently not
assoc.ated "Too Many Cooks" with Mr,
I raven.
Yes, Indeed," ha replied, with that tunny
one-sided twist ot hut mouth which make a
the Utile lines ot humor wrinkle all tiround,
I ve only had one or two little Udngs pub
lished, but I write a great deal tor pub
