It is the beginning of what will be followed by other Opera) in which will appear other singers of It may be likened to The Open Door, for Negroes to walk into the' field of Opera.

Who knows but what an Aida a 1 will lie chosen 'to appear in the Mstrooolitan Opera is needed is our wholehearted support by our presence md patronage.

Below the. story of Cavalleria. Ru'sUcana, the cast and Story of Cavalleria Rusticana The setting of Cavalleria Rusticana is laid in a Sicilian square, and the scene takes place on Eas: ttr morning.

Here we see a church, and a tavern, the abode of Lucia, the' mother of Turridu, who it the hero of the story. Tur iddu is village fop. He loves in his way Lola and is beloved by her in her way. He goes to war. When he returns he finds her married to Alfo, a wagoner.

Piqued over it he makes love to Santuzza, whom he seduecs. She adores him Lola in. turn becomes exasperated and woos Turiddu. He becomes a double traitor. Santuixa Easter morning is un dec ban of.

the church. She cannot kneel before the altar knowing that Turridu has been with Lola. She appeals to his former love, reminds him of his promise. As she kneels to him he sulks. Lola crosses the square on her way to the church.

Turiddu strikes Santuzza and follows Lola. Santuzza mad with jealousy tells the whole story of her shame and the baseness of 'the guilty couple tj Alfio, the wagoner. Alfio refuses to drink with Tur iddu and bites him on the ear, which is the challenge to a mor tal' combat." Tunddu conscience strickened feels the approach of He bids his mother Lucia goodbye, and runs away. Alfio kills him with his knife behind the scene. Women rush in crying "Turiddu is murdered." Santuzza falls like a dead body.

The Colonial Park Talent Ensemble, under the direction of Bernard Graves, appeared in a recital at the Lido on Friday, July 27, under the auspices of Miss Megan's Bridge AcuVities Among Union Musicians By PERCIVAL OUTRAM Jul 0ffIcial Journal of Local 802 carries the report of the delegates to the 39th annual convention of the American Federation of Musicians held at Clsve land. THe report is signed by Chairman Canavan and Delegates Louis Weissman and John Mirag lia. By this report credit for Local Autonomy. given the delegates backed by.

Chairman Canavan, who for three. hours battled the question before the International Executive Board. This discussion took place by consent in Cleveland on Saturday, July .14. Delegates Weissman and Miraclia were questioned separately. The I.

E. B. remained in session on the subject Saturday night and Sunday. The convention opened Monday, July 16, and the delegates had been advised that the decision of the I. Would be submitted to the convention during the week.

"The of the Board were entirely favorable to the organization and were unanimously adopted by the Convention," reads the report Four members from New York City, with their attorney (names not given in the report) appeared on the opening day of the convention and "their attorney requested permission to appear before the convention and plead their case." Charges against these men were in ihe. hands of the I. E. B. for dis cussion.

The convention in ses sion refused their request and that of eleven other members similarly charged. The convention held that it could not discuss a case which was in the hands of the I. E. B. before that body had reached a decision.

(Note: The above is believed to have referred to our Bill Conaway and ten white members who held a meeting and election in defiance of the Federation. It is now reported these fourteen men were expelled.) These 14 members tried to interest the delegates at large with no success. They also failed to have a lengthy telegram read to the delegates at large at the convention in session, and by vote the convention 'unanimously decided that the teleam be not read." The report continues that the "presence of these members in Cleveland created a feeling of ill will toward the membership of Local 802, which Delegates Weissman and Miraglia and Chairman Canavan had to combat and overcome." The" recommendations of the report include, "That false allsrpa tions that the Federation robbed Local 802 of its autonomy be withdrawn. That every member vote (it's compulsory) by mail whether he approves communistic agitation or Communist as a member of the Local." That the Local may regulate the salaries of officers (except the chairman), amend the constitution and 'by laws, designate the number of members of the Governing and Trial Boards. The change in the form of government of Local 802 should be enforced by the I.

E. B. only if the Local between now and the beginning of the fiscal year does not violate and obeys all orders of the Federation, as is binding on any. other local. Chairman Canavan apparently emerges "more powerful than ever as recommendations include and give Canavan the sweeping power of the veto.

"The chairman of Local 802 on behalf of the Federation shall have authority to veto any action of a meeting of the local union, a committee of the local, or the local Governing or Board, or any other local authority if such' action is lii violation of the laws of the Federation." Tie 30 per cent law was alterel to 10 per cent. Four per cent goes to the local taking the collection; three per cent is retained by the International office as a tax, and the other three per cent is returned to the members of the orchestra.
