R. Opera House January 18. has had a public career of only five years. It was on an atternoon in September, 1917, that a group of young aspiring artists were gathered on the darkened stage of the Lexington Opera House, New York. The wings and the backdrops of the scenery folded carelessly back revealed the bare, white-washed walls and many dangling ropes.

The murk of heavy dust filled the air. Barely ble at the side was a solitary piano, an indifferent accompanist drumming at the keyboard. Campanini had ordered a hearing of new voices, and the hopeful singers waited their turn nervously to try some practiced aria- usually then to be dismissed. But the hopes and training of years of one singer found their climax on that dreary afternoon.

The first Herrin massacre trial swung into its final lap today. With the major portion of the evidence completed the defense was expected to rush the case to a close this week. "We have proved a case of justifiable homicide by showing that professional gunmen came into Williamson county and committed acts of violence, assault and highway robbery to unprovoked murder," A. W. Kerr, leader of defense attorneys, declared.

Attorneys for the prosecution admitted the guards at the Lester Mine might have been guilty of minor abuses but contended that when the guards laid down their weapons and I surrendered to the mob, that incident was closed. The State charges that when the mob took advantage of the surrender and massacred the prisoners, it was la pure case of murder. FORMER TOWN MAN DIES IN PHILA. J. F.

A run as wild as the opening of the "strip" in '89 was on in Oklahoma yesterday. Cowboys atop pinto ponies galloped into the capital, a wild and an occasional blazing. revolver nouncing their arrival; quaint vehicles bringing quainter people, rumbled behind, staid ox, teams over the paved streets, high power in the motors carrying Indians, rich, from oil leases, honked their ways through swarms of pedestrians while overhead, hovered aeroplanes seeking a landing spot. Special trains steamed into the union depot in rapid succession depositing delegations from States from Washington to New York. With thousands already Jamming the streets, trails, paths and roads converging here, were swamped as all Oklahoma made a mad rush to attend the inauguration of Governor Jack C.

Walton, a reversion to the days when the "Wild West" was wild, The elite and the riff-raff met on a common plane. Millionaires rubbed shoulders with pickpockets and gangsters; and uproarious plainsmen, picturesque in tall hats and high jostled Indians. characteristically garbed in bright hued blankets and glass beads in hotel lobbies. And throughout the crowds mingled painted ladies and gamblers as true to type as in the days before the Statehood. Moonshine liquor, choc beer and other beverages, flowed as freely as in the days that were giving a realistic atmosphere to the page from the State's early history.

Fires gleamed in rows and rows of trenches as savory meats were pared for the mammoth barbecue today. Hundreds of men were kept constantly busy. The formal inauguration will take place at noon, but will be repeated before the thousands of visitors tomorrow. From then until Wednesday midnight, square dances, Indian war dances, the barbecue and other events on the program will follow in rapid succession. The national guard will be called to preserve peace, Adjutant General Barrett announced.

A military aspect was added to the affair- mixture of carnival, homecoming, inauguration and Wild West review- -when airplanes, circling over the city, fired a salute, as Walton was inaugurated noon. The squadron, in battle formation, continued the firing while mobs in the streets cheered in delight. Impromptu parades began forming in the down-town sections and a steam caliope, pressed into emergency service, led the hilarious crowds. Several detachments of guardsmen arrived during the parade and broke a passage way through the jams in the streets as they scuffled on toward the Fair Grounds where the barbecue preparations were on.

A a WITH WANDA HAWLEY MILTON SILLS CAIN ROBERT JACQUELINE LOGAN ATTEND THE MATINEES To be among that unknown group in 1917, and famous in 1922, is the happy lot of Carolina Lazzari. She was entrusted with important roles her first season with the Chicago Opera when, despite the famous artists in the casts, this unknown was forced to repeat her arias. The folowing year was replete with conquests, still in association with the well known Campanini, her aria being unusually well received. The goal of the ambition of all opera stars was reached when the Metropoitan engaged her for, leading roles.

Surely a meteoric rise. That Campanini could Judge a voice is well known. but long before Lazzari reached her ultimate triumph, Thomas A. Edison, who, as an acknowledged authority on the mechanics of vocal production, had ed her vocal powers of great beauty an unusual perfection in production. But the quick success does not mean sudden choice of a career and hurried preparation.

Born in Massachusetts, she remained there until old enough to travel to Milan. After three years there she returned and completed her vocal studies under the noted teacher, William S. Brady. Contralto voices of purely mechanical skill are, but great contraltos historic. That of Carolina Lazzari is such that it charms in the lyric or thrills in the dramatic aria--its beauty fills the sustained notes of "Oh, Promise Me" as its power vigorates the crescendos of "Mon cocur s'ouvre a ta voix." Today Lazzari has the enviable reputation of having appeared in three of the largest and most important opera houses in the world: at the Auditorium, Chicago; Metropolitan Opera House, New York, and the Colon Theatre, Buenos Aires.

She 1 19 at present leading contralto of the Metropolitan Opera House. The whole country, from surfeited New York to the least important place that heard her, has acclaimed in loud praise her voice and her persenality, for united to her great contralto is a charm, radiating not only to her intimates, but extending over the footlights to the she has already entranced by her singing.
