CHICAGO PROUD OF HOME-GROWN GRAND OPERA 28-Year-Old Composer and Mary Garden Rewarded for Work. By Unitf4 Press CHICAGO, Dec. 11—Chicago boasted of anew Jewel In Its crown of culture today, after producing the first grand opera ever written by a native son. The opus was the work of Hamilton Forrest, who ten years ago quit his job as office boy for Samuel Insull to study music abroad. It waa given for the first time Wednesday night by the Civic Opera Company with Chicago’s own Mary Garden in the title role of “Camile.” The Gold Coast audience at times shouted “bravo” as the volatile Mary rushed into the arms of Charles Hackett, who played Armand, or drove the latter’s father from her salon In a tempest of high notes. ‘•"amille” is the Dumas Fils story of the French courtesan, who leaves her ancient profession for a real love affair with an artist, but the work is set to the tempo of modern cocktail parties and jazz. Scenery Is Modernistic All of the scenery is modernistic, and the costumes were so much like those worn by occupants of the dress circle that the cast would not have been out of place In the audience. In one scene, Miss Garden appeared in lounge pajamas and danced with her guests. In another a telephone rang, and in a third the orchestra broke out a moaning jazz tune that threw the twenty or more characters on the stage into a strictly modern dance. Capers like that never have been seen before in the Civic Opera house, but the audience indorsed the departure from custom by demanding as many as six curtain appearances of “our Mary" and called finally for Forrest himself. Ovation Given Composer After the second act the 28-year-old composer-librettist waa pushed into the footlights’ glare to receive an ovation that surpassed the wildest dreams of his office boy days. Arias common to grand opera have no part in this homegrown product. Its only solo Is a lively Parisian ballad sung by Miss Garden from a table top in her salon, and Its only chorus a few gay lines by a room full of guests in evening clothes who have drunk enough champagne to release their inhibitions. Save for those two instances the singing is confined to lyrical conversation between courtesans, entertainers and noblemen who fill the gambling house and case scenes. DENIES BUILDING DELAY Treasury Aid Says U. S. Program Is 3 Years Ahead of Schedule. Bv Scrivvs-U award newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Dec. 11. —The treasury department today struck back at congressional critic* who have alleged that it has been dilatory in the nation's authorized $530,000,000 federal building program. In a communication to Senator Reed of Pennsylvania, which he will submit to the senate, Perry K. Heath, assistant secretary, in charge of public buildings construction, asserted that the building program actually is three yeans ahead of schedule. He predicted that with the passage of the Keyes-EUiott bill, authorizing the treasury to eliminate “red tape” in building construction to speed up projects, the program will be expedited further.

U. S. ACTS TO ! KEEP ALCOHOL FROMIEGGERS Stricter Regulations and Nonpoison Denaturant Expected to Help. By United Press : T Dec. 11.—Issuance of new and stricter regulations governing industrial alcohol, and discovery of anew non-poisonous denaturant shortly will reduce diversion of such alcohol by bootleggers to negligible proportions, James M. Doran, industrial alcohol commissioner, predicted today. The new regulations now are being drafted by the treasury and justice departments jointly and will be issued this month, Doran said. He added they will make it harder than ever for bootleggers to obtain government denatured alcohol for their purposes. Development of the new denaturant, known a% alcotate, is the result of three years’ research work in government laboratories. Find New Denaturant The compound, said to taste like “spoiled eggs and garlic,” is to take the place of wood alcohol in all government formula now using that poison, Doran announced today also that he expects to issue soon permits for manufacture next year of another 2,000,000 gallons of whisky for medicinal purposes. This manufacture was authorized this year for the first time since federal prohibition in order to replenish the nation’s depleted medicinal whisky stock. Whisky manufactured for medicinal use must be aged four years before the law permits its use. There now is on hand a stock of about 8,000,000 gallons, or four years supply. Appropriation Increased Additional funds are to be spent by the industrial alcohol bureau next year in patroling alcohol plants and bonded warehouses to prevent diversion of any part of the 100,000,000 gallons of commercial alcohol produced annually. The appropriation was increased by $529,000 to a total of $4,338,000 to permit employment of 200 extra inspectors. Industrial alcohol is used mostly in making automobile anti-freeze solutions, but large quantities are also consumed by the paint and
