KAROLYI ACTION SHOWS LIBERAL U. SJTTITUDE State Department Is Taking Stand That Agitators Are Not Menaces. I!t> £crfpp-/fotr<r<f Wteapn• r WASHINGTON, Oct. 30—Secretary Stlmson’s decision to drop the bars which the Coolldge administration had erected against the entry of Count and Countess Karolyl Into this country was hailed today by many observers as another event marking the Introduction of a more liberal and tolerant spirit at the state department. Though Secretary Stimson took pains to point out his action was no departure from the anti-Karolyi policies of his predecessors, Charles Evans Hughes and Frank B. Kellogg, the decision to admit the avow’ed Socialists actually was a radical change. For almost a decade Count Karolyl has been a man without a party and a country. His influence has been on the wane, and even though Stimson’s predecessors thought they found a basis for barring him in the regulations, their action brought protests, on the ground that Karolyl embodied no threat to American institutions. Department Takes Stand This is the attitude of the state department now, even though it is couched in phrases which will imply no reflection on par-t policies. But tties* have been other indications that the Hoover administration does not intend to pursue the more conservative methods of preceding administrations. Stimson now is making a study of Fascisti activities in the United States and efforts of the Italian government to defeat Americanization of its immigrants. He has undertaken negotiation of a treaty safeguarding the rights of ItaloAmericans who return to Italy against imprisonment or impressment in the Italian army. In short, he has shown a desire to terminate alleged attempts to maintain Italian sovereignty over Mussolini’s people here.

Cabinet Did Nothing When the activities of the Fascisti League of North America were disclosed by the Scripps-Howard newspapers two years ago, Secretary Kellogg and other members of the Coolidge cabinet took the position there was nothing to be done to counteract or stop them. The state department also prompted President Hoover's denunciation of William B. Shearer and the shipbuilding corporations he represented as paid observer at the Geneva disarmament conference. It was Under Secretary Cotton who laid the facts before the President, after Shearer brought suit against his former clients. The state department also permitted Dorothy Detzer to obtain a passport without taking an oath to bear arms.

SANCTUARIES OF WILD LIFE ARE MAINTAINED National Andnbon Societies Hear of Work at Convention. By Time* Fvrcial NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—The twen-ty-fifth annual convention of the National Association of Audubon Societies has been in session here the last two days. People interested in the protection of wild birds and animals from many sections of the country have taken part in the exercises and conferences. Dr. T. Gilbert Pearson, president, in his report laid stress on the importance of protecting at all times the valuable insect-eating bird population and the need pf state and national care to ever preserve an adequate breeding stock of game birds and game animals. He reported that the association now has under its care fifty-one sanctuaries and wild-life reservations and told of a great antelope sanctuary which it is establishing in Nevada. In the last year the association maintained a force of nine traveling lecturers, and in the junior department 348,000 children had been enrolled in Audubon clubs and supplied with bird study material.

LAUDS SHAKESPEARE FOR LIFE INSPIRATION Indiana University Leader Gives Address at Center. “The nobility of Shakespeare’s character and the beauty of his poetry strengthens one for the actual problems of life,” said Dr. H. H. Carter, head of the Indiana university department of English, in a lecture at the Indianapolis extension center Tuesday night. “Shakespeare interspersed his serious plays with broadly farcical touches, but in general his comedies were opposed to the realistic classical type of comedy,” Carter said. “No one will deny that the indirect influence of his charming characterization, genuine poetry and thoughtful view of life acts as a tonic on human affairs.” The lecture was one in a series on “Great Men in Letters” being given at the center.

MORE LIKE HERBERT IS THIS “CARMEN” Revolutionary Methods of American Grand Opera Company Receives Applause of Great Murat Audience. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN THE version of “Carmen” that the American Grand Opera Company revealed at the Murat last night was more like a light opera of Victor Herbert than of Bizet. To me opera is traditional but I will never thumb my nose at an honest attempt to make opera American or even popular. The beautiful score is still there, but the stage settings, direction and treatment is all of today. During the third act when Don Jose was telling Carmen that she was his, body and soul, I felt the modem touch as was recorded in “The Desert Song” when Red Shaddow was pulling some rough stuff on the girl he loved and was trying to tame. The

modern scenery did not age the score but gave me the feeling that I was approaching the spirit and touch of Victor Herbert in many of his delightful light operas. It Is this sudden modernizing of Carmen

that gave me many serious moments. I have seen many Carmens and several of them were directed by the same conductor, Isaac Van Grove, whom we had last night in charge of a small but splen--11 d1 y organized orchestra. It is dis • ficult to think of a second act of “Carmen” done rather in the modern spirit of Hollywood. Even in the third

and second act when the smugglers are begging Carmen to aid them again we get a decided light musical comedy touch. Does it register? It does. This “Carmen” may not be the Bizet Carmen in original conception, but it is modern theater. The large audience last night at the Murat gave much evidence that the American people are welcoming chance to hear grand opera done 111 their own language so that it will be plain as day and not all Greek. And why not? I will never confess that the Lady Macbeth of Florence Reed in the modern production of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” last season was Shakespeare at all. It was just another experiment in bringing a great play down to date and expressed in the modern tempo and in modern sets. But it still was an experiment. And I can say of this production of “Carmen” that I heard last night that it is a noble experiment but it is not the traditional “Carmen.” Not even the conception of the characters. Bettina Hall as the English “Carmen” catches the spirit of the modern Idea back of the purpose of the American Grand Opera Company. Honestly, I do not consider Miss Hall a great Carmen because she is not traditional. And just as honest, I consider her a mighty interesting Carmen, probably a little too clean. Never realistic but a complete modern Carmen who never becomes too dramatic. She sings with ease and proves that English may be used and understood. I have aired my opinion of Carmen in this department many times —that of Farrar and Garden and others as well as the Russian Musical Art Theater. I believe in realism in opera but you do not get it in the modem idea of the American Grand Opera Company. They give you a colorful Carmen, a melodious Carmen and dashingly dressed up Carmen. But is that wrong? They sure do not claim to be traditional, this company is revolutionary and they get away with it with a bang. The two best singing voices and the two best performances of last night’s production were given by Charles Kullman as Don Jose and Nancy McCord. It is in the third act that Miss McCord as Micaela showed what a fine singer and what a fine artist she is. Kullman held my interest both as to voice and his conception of Don Jose, a character who allowed a woman to make a fool of himself. I think that Miss Hall’s Carmen reached its peak in the card reading scene in the third act and her defiance to Don Jose in the final act. It was in the second act that she acted more like a cabaret entertainer than the she-devil that Car-

men really was while weaving her spell over Don Jose. The cast of “Carmen” as given last night was as follows: Carmen Bettina Hall Don Jose Cahrles Kullman Escamillo John Uppman Zuniga Peter Chambers Morales Willard Schindler Micaela Nancy McCord El Remendaao Frederic Roberts Dancairo Tom Williams Mercedes Helen Golden Frasquita Dorothy Raynor Spanish Dancer Winifred Goldsborough Conductor Isaac Van Grove Let me be plain in this—the work of the American Grand Opera Company in giving us “Faust,” “Carmen” and “Madame Butterfly” in English is a noble experiment. It sure did my heart good last night to see that great audience which was present. Whether you prefer your opera strictly traditional and probably all Greek in foreign language, by all means do not pass up this opportunity of seeing opera done in English. Tonight, the company will close its three-day engagement at the Murat with “Madame Butterfly” with Cecile Sherman as Cho-Cho-San, Harriet Eells as Suzuki and Clifford Newdall as Pinkerton. u u Other Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Pleasure Bound” at English’s, “Salute” at the Lyric, “Young Nowheres” at the Circle, “Gold Diggers of Broadway” at the Apollo, “The Dance of Life” at the Ohio, “His Glorious Night” at the Palace, “Kuddling Kuties” at the Mutual, and movies at the Colonial. Thursday night at the Murat, Ona B. Talbot will open her great orchestral season by presenting the Boston Symphony orchestra with Koussevitsky conducting.
