BEATTY STARS ON MOVING DAYS OF OPERA COMPANY Thirty-Five Carloads of Baggage Precede Two Special Trains Carrying Artists. By S PEAK MAN LE WIS. CHICAGO, Jan. 20— Being an opera fan, you are doubtless familiar with the roles of Mary Garden, Muratore, Edith flagon, Galli-Curci and Schlpa; you that Giorgio Polacco conducts a matthless orchestra, and that Jacques Coini Btages the brilliant operas that have thrilled Chicago for the past ten years. Anew star enters —he enters at just this time each year, in the person of Ilarry W. Beatty, technical director of the Chicago Opera Company. He has been with the company since its formation eleven years ago. In the “drama" Beatty would be known as stage manager. His present problem is one of transporting safely from Chicago to New York, from New York to fifteen principal cities of the United States, including those on the Pacific coast, and hack to Chicago, the Chicago Opera Company. MOVING JOB OF VAST PROPORTIONS. Beatty must move the scenery, properties, electrical equipment and wardrobe of twenty-nine operas; SoO people, including sixty-two stars and principals, seventy orchestra men, eighty-eight choristers of both sexes and the entire house and stage staff—everything from the box office to the new silver curtain. Thirty-five baggage cars will have gone ahead to New York before two special trains leave the Ea Salle street station at 3 o’clock Sunday morning, Jan. 22, for the Manhattan Opera House, New York, when the company opens .Monday, Jan. 23, with Muratore and D'Aivares in "Samson and Delilah.” The first section of the two special trains departing Sunday will include the artists, conductors and managerial staff. ■here will be eight sleepers, three bagige cars and a diner on the first section. The second section leaving a few minutes later carries the ckoru3, orchestra, ballet and stage staff. There will be nine sleepers, three baggage cars and a diner on this section. Both dining cars will operate continuous service to New York. Because of the impossibility of reaching New York Sunday night in time for the company lo find hotels or rooms, the trains will be deliberately slowed up to reach New York at 7:55 a. m. Monday. Each passenger on the train will receive from Mr. Beatty a diagram showing the exact sleeping space allotment, whether drawing-room, compartment section, upper or lower. TEMPERAMENT ANT) PI LEMAN'S PROBLEM. And therein lies one of his greatest problems, for nowhere in an opera company does artistic temperament display itseif to greater enthusiasm than in surveying the aforesaid Pullman accommodations. There are some who must have drawing rooms, some compartments, and there is even a very definite distinction between what grades of artists and musicians shall sleep in an upper or a lower. There is also a slight matter of 5 1 '0 wardrobe ti'uuks and IjHO persona! trunks which must be unscrambled at the destination in sufficient time to reach the theater and the various hotels on the same day of arrival. Beatty takes with him the following lieutenants: In charge of properties, W. B. Young; scenery, K. S. Jeffers; elee--ieai equipment, Edward H. Moore; ardrobe, M. Eanzilotti. And with these few details on his mind, Beatty draws hims-df up to his six feet four and calmly assures Mary Garden, general director, that the curtain will go up at 8 at the Manhattan Opera House and that he, Beatty, will have a right good time en route. And Miss Garden will lay you the conventional S to 5 that Beatty makes good. Y. M. C. A. HOLDS 51ST CONVENTION Leaders in State Work Discuss Problems.

The fifty-first State convention of the V. M. C. A. opened today at the Meridian Street Methodist Church with a discussion of the problems of the organization. Among the speakers were Dr. Virgi! E. Korer, Dr. D. D. Tullis. G. A. Van Dyke, W. H. Insley, S. B. Bechtel of Ft. Wayne and C. A. Tevebangh, the new general secretary of the organization. A dinner was given at the Hotel Peverin last night for members of the organization and their friends. The world is worse off since the v\ar, Charles W. Whitehair of Cleveland, a veteran of the World War, said in speaking at the banquet. “We have to seek another means and method than force,” he said. “I cannot help but feel that the Quakers were right i*diout this war. I cannot see one fundajgj ntal problem solved as a result of the war. The law of force can never settle right.” Other speakers were Mr. Tevebangh. Fred Iloke of Indianapolis. A. C. Gran, general secretary of the Terre Haute Y. M. C. A., and Robert Davis, a Technical High School student. Mr. Tevebaugh told of the work of the Y. M. C.
