H., Aug. 6.—A trifling mishap | at a Metropolitan opera rehearsal | and four hours of “deadly dull”| train riding a week are primarily responsible for one of the fall sea- | son’s mystery yarns. | The author is Queena Mario, the | | Metropolitan’s soprano, and the book will ' be called “Murder In The Opera ‘House.” It is full of authentic opera “atmosphere,” for Miss Mario has not only sung with |the Met a decade or more, but is |the wife of Wilfred Pelletier, a conductor at the same venerable institution. Compcsite Prima Donna ‘Consuelo, heroine of the mystery, is a soprano with all the glamorous trimmings and her favorite role |is Nedda in “I Pagliacci,” which {also is Miss Mario's favorite role. | “But I must disclaim any con- nection with Consuelo,” says Miss Mario. “On the contrary, she is an imaginary character with the composite features of all the beau- tiful and glamorous prima don- nas I have ever met. “And this is how I happened to write it. I've been an inveterate mystery reader for years. | Wrote On Trains ! “About three years ago a little incident occurred at a rehearsal —unimportant in itsel but I made the remark afterward that i had certain conditions been dif- | ferent, it might have had a very different ending.

The story was put aside until, one day, its author ltold an interviewer in a burst of confidence that it existed. And |the fact was mentioned in the story, and “within a week I had [ received eight letters from the ‘very best' publishing houses and three from well known film com- panies. “All that was a little embar- ssing and a sort of challenge, I had too full a summer to do much with it, but I did set | aside the month of September and finished the story by October 1. ]1 had to leave at once to sing in { San Francisco, and read the man- | script on the train.

I read it and found it not only dull, but totally | lacking in any authentic operatic atmosphere. | “So I wrot¢ my husband to dig the manuscript out of a closet and send it in—and that's that.” But there really is a little more, for Miss Mario is already in the third chapter of another opera i novel, this one not a mystery. And she comes by her writing ability naturally. As a girl she paid for lessons by writing for newspapers; her sister was a well known newspaper woman 20 years ago, and her father, James K. Tillotson, was a successful play- wright of the 90’s. | i BRIT.
