CHESTER Suburban Opera Society's Sunday night presentation of "Tosca," final production of its first season at Pennsylvania Military College's Alumni Auditorium, went off with a real bang. The sellout audience's bursting enthusiasm was well deserved, although sometimes distracting. Too frequent applause cut off final arias, blocked: orchestral closes and hampered the performance of minor roles.

However, it was a rolling, competent performance of Puccini's most dramatic opera. No small share of the credit is due to the outstanding voice of Norma Dean as Floria Tosca, whose jealousy brings disaster to all the principals. She has learned considerable control over her big voice in recent months and her dynamic range is impressive. Her first act scene of jealousy was done i a and expertness. Even small lines were precise jewels.

Her highly i and delicate rendition of "Vissi d'arte, vissi d'amore" was masterful both vocally and dramatically. Tenor Thomas a job as the hapless Mario "avaradossi, undoubtedly his best performance of this season. He has acquired greater stage presence and has given up his labit of fidgeting about the stage. He now takes a' stance and sings away in that meli- fluous voice of his. O'Leary set the tone of the opera with a dash in his.

singing of "Recondita Harnionia" in Act I. His rendition of the great tenor aria "I Lucevan le stelle" in Act III was done superbly sitting down, The beginning was gentle and tender, yet full of emotion and as the music surged forward, so went the voice, aH the way up the dynamic scale. The opera also was fortunate in its low male voices of Scarpia, Angelotti and the sacristan. Nicholas Trolio as the hateful chief of the Roman police was so effective in the range and emotional quality of his voice that his lack of stage sophistication was a source of annoyance. Negroes, Whites Exchange Home Share Coffee Unfortunately his habit of strolling back and forth distracted from his role.

It carried over to the second act scene in which he makes the big play for Tosca. The two a each other around in a kind of stylized Siamese ballet. But Trolio's singing is excellent and his dramatic interpretation or the music flawless. Vocally he made fine images from most of his lines. Seymour Schwartzman, cantor at Beth Sholom Synagogue, Elkins Park, was first rate as the escaped prisoner Angelotti and George Mazmanian kept the first act church scene beautifully controlled as the sacristan.

Sets by Alan Shaw were Beautiful. The audience was impressed each time, 'particularly with the Farnese Palace in Act. II. An interesting sidelight wai the appearance of the famed Pershing Rifles of PMC as the firing squad. Their precision made for a fine scene.

However, the lack of suf ficient practice time for the cost ly musicians was still evident and a couple of bad strings put a blot on what might have been truly outstanding performance.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Thousands of Negro and whitef families across the country tried a new forum for inter-racial discussions Sunday: visitng each other's homes. The occasion was the first National Home Visit Day, an outgrowth of an idea put into practice nine years ago by a Chicago inter-racial Roman Catholic lay center, the Friendship House.

In tidy bungalows and apartments, middle-class whites and Negroes exchanged visits and shared coffee, cake and--hopefully--lots of conversation. They talked about civil rights demonstrations, schools, children, housing and just plain getting along together. In Alden, near Philadelphia, Negro William 36, told a group of whites of his experiences' after he and his family moved into an all-white community. In Cleveland, Ohio, where racial troubles broke out two weeks ago, more than 1,000 talk of doing it again. persons participated In home visit program.

Five hundred whites visited 52 Negro homes in Detroit and Negro Roy Dixon expressed the hope that not only whites would learn from the exchange. "Misunderstanding is a two- way affair," he said. "Many Negroes have mistaken ideas about whites and their problems because of a lack of understanding. The Black Muslims are as wrong as they can be, but they win friends among the Negroes because of this." Mrs. K.

R. Kidwell, coordinator of the visits in Baltimore, where 220 Negroes, and whites visited 23 homes, said: "It's a natural way for the people involved to meet each other." About 1,000 persons took part in a Louisville visit program. At Pittsburgh, where officials said they were surprised by the turnout, coordinator Robert J. Simonds said, "Everyone 1 talked to, Negro and white, is very pleased. There already is the Austin Gale, 39, an engineer who was among 1,200 whites who visited 330 homes in Los Angeles, put it this way: "Humans are humans, no matter what the color of their skin; If we can get people to accept this, all our problems will evaporate." That, in essence, is the dream of Miss Betty Plank of Friendship House, National Home Visit secretary and one of the founders of the program.

"We were taking high school students around slum neighborhoods trying to shock them into social consciousness," recalled Miss Plank. "We began to realize they thought all Negroes lived this way." Friendship House then organized other trips, but this time to middle-class Negro homes. Eventually Negroes were asked to visit white homes, and did. Started by Roman Catholics, the program was soon being spread by Jews and Protestants.
