"I dance for relaxation and exercise,” he said. “I work all day and hence can not play golf or tennis. Theaters are stuffy. So I go to dances. “True, I understand you can play golf at night with a luminous ball, but you spend most of your time, trying to find where your drives went and where’s the fun in that I’d like to know?”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

BAR PRIESTS FROM DANCES Notices in Diocese Organ Are Ruled Out. Bu United Press BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. I.—A series of regulations by Archbsihop Michael J. Curley forbidding Catholic priests to organize or attend dances will be announoced in the Baltimore Catholic Review this week. The regulations reiterate the stand taken by the Baltimore Plenary council of 1884, and the Sacred Consistorial Congregation of Rome, which ruled that the church can not give its official sanction and approval to dancing. Archbishop Curley’s move was forecast by an article in the Review, which, as the official organ of the archdiocese, announced that all references to dances would be eliminated in the future, including advertisements and reading notices. Notices of card parties and entertainments were not banned. The regulations are interpreted to mean that independent organizations, composed of Catholics as individuals, are not forbidden from holding or attending dances. The ruling concerning priests stipulates that it applies no matter what the purpose of the dance may be nor by whom it is sponsored.

Our children learned the truth only in the hard days of the revolution. My devotion my husband always has been great. Never opposed his adopting three children which he had with Petzhold.

WAIT IN LINE , FOR CHANCE TO 1 STANDATOPERA Metropolitan Season Opens in Manner of World Se- j ries and Fights. BY SAM LOVE H United Pres* Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Nov. I.—Grand opera at the Metropolitan, the most glittering annual spectacle New York offers, began its forty-fourth season Monday afternoon in the lowly manner of world series baseball and championship prize fights. Hours before the golden-haired Mme. Jeritza, otherwise Baroness Popper, was due to sweep .onto the great stage In the title role of Puccini’s “Turandot,” and even longer before the bejewelled or tophatted box-holders of the diamond horseshoe would deign to arrive, the first enthusiasts began lining upat the Fortieth St. ticket window. They were not from the social register and they were equipped with delicatessen sandwiches and a firm intention to be the first in line when the family circle box office opened at 7:30 p. m. Stand in Line for Hours They were standing hours to buy standing room only. By 5 p. m. the family circle Queue extended well toward Seventh Ave. And another and more smartly attired queue was forming on Broadway at Thirty-Ninth St. for orchestra standing room. Signor Guilio Gatti-Casazza was opening his twentieth New York Opera and the winter social season with a sell-out. Even the tickets laid by for the unexpected last minute appearance of foreign ambassadors and such had long since been exhausted. The speculators reaped a harvest upon such pasteboards as fell into their hands. Prices of SIOO for pairs of seats in the orchestra were reported. Gatti-Casazza’s production of “Turandot” was designed to vie even with the grandeur of the parterre boxes, into which certain families are born and out of which they are pried only by death. Story of Chinese “Turandot” is a Chinese version of love conquers all. Five hundred are in the cast, including a stage hand. The orchestral accompaniment is supplied by another hundred musicians. Three acts and five scenes of lavish folderol are required to bring the beautiful, but cruel Princess Turandot into the arms of the daring Prince Calaf, who is the tenor Giacomo Lauri-Volpi. Then the people on the stage burst forth into a hymn to the Chinese Cupid and the people in the audience go home. “Turandot” was not completed when Puccini died. Its first American production last season met with instant acclaim by the public. It was prepared and coducted by Maestro Tullia Sarafin. Except in the substitution of Nanette Guilford for Martha Attwoof in the role for Liu and of Charlotte Leach as one of the two maids, no changes were made in the casting for Monday night’s opening.
