Triumph for Young Opera Singer
Jean Tennyson, one-time “Follies” prima donna and now soprano of the
Chicago City Opera company, who won acclaim following her appearance at the
Salzburg music festival. She is one of the youngest artists ever to appear at this
musical event, which brings together leading singers from all over the world.
Her beauty is a far cry from the overfed divas of yesteryear who tripped
through “Madame Butterfly” like yodeling pachyderms. The modern trend is
toward good-looking opera stars, Witness Maria Jeritza, Coe Glade, Lily Pons,
Helen Jepson and Grace Moore. Now for slimmer tenors!

ner of the Coast Guard Trophy match
Big Gun That Broke a Long Silence
Private de la Hunt was deeply cha-
grined about that one miss that spoiled
an otherwise perfect shooting record.
However, as long as Uncle Sam's devil
dogs can shoot 99 targets out of 100
the enemy had better be doggone snap-
py in getting out of the way, don’t you
think? It'd be healthier for him.
at the National rifle matches at Camp
Perry, Ohio, with a score of 99 out of a
possible 100, against 1,500 contestants.
This 16-inch coast defense gun af
Fort Tilden, Long Island, broke a si-
lence of 12 years the other day whem
in a firing test it sent a 2,100 pound
projectile 15 miles out to sea. America,
in her program of strengthening the
national defenses from all angles,
wants to be sure her guns can sti¥
