Charles A. Livingstone, rector of the Episcopal Church at Setauket, Long Island, the first defense witness in the trial of the divorce suit brought by Mrs. Madeline Masters Gron against her husband, Niels Gron, Dan- ish diplomat, testified that Mrs. Gron told him she was “a free thinker, like her brother, Edgar Lee Masters, the poet.” The witness said he had received this reply when he asked Mrs. Gron why she did not attend church regularly. Gron, the rector 1d, attended church whenever he was in Setauket. The witness sald he had never seen Gron drink Intoxicating liquors, but once Gron gave him a bottle of whis- ky. He said he still had some of the ‘whisky. = e who know Mr. Gron respect him as a man of high moral charac- ter, the witness sald. “Some think Eim an idealist and impractical, but he is always respected. Advised Separation. Mr. Livingstone testified that Mrs. Gron had made him her confidant on several occasions. Once she had told him she was going to get a separa- tion from her husband, explaining that she was tired of the fallure of a plan he was promoting to guarantee commercial products internationally. The witness sald he had advised the separation “on the ground of man| fest incompatability of temperament. In opening the case of the defense counsel for Gron sald he would sub- mit proof that the husband, far from allowing his wife to support him, as alleged, had contributed thousands of dollars to her support between 1916 and 1920. Taking the stand in the closing min- utes of yesterday's session, Niels Gron i8ald his wife's children by a former marriage were to blame for®many of his marital difficulties. He de’nled Statements made by Mrs. Gron on the | Witness stand that she had once put thim on a monthly allowance and paid his bills at the Harvard Club of New ‘Yt:lrk.

MAKES GOOD RD. ENTRAL High School is especially proud of Josephine Irvin Gillis, who is treasurer of the Girls’ C Club and won two letters in swimming Richmond, Va., and came to Wash- ington in 1909, when she entered the Park View School, from which she was graduated. She was vice president of her class and captain of the school's “La Traviata” at Poli Josephine Lucchese Is a perfect Violetta from every point of view. She makes this heroine of Verdi's operatic version of Dumas’ famous story of “The Lady of the Camellias” an at- tractive and real person. Her sweet, clear soprano voice was in excellent form last night and her arias, par- ticularly the one which closed the first act, were delightfully sung. She managed artistically to combine dra- matic emotional qualities with her singing in a way that did not detract from the roundness of her notes, but rather added to their poigngncy. She was the outstanding figure_of the opera histrionically as well as'vocally. and the famous Camille death-bed scene was full of dignity and sweet- ness as interpreted by Miss Lucchese. She is an American girl of the quaint. old-fashioned type of besuty that is best preserved to this generation in old ivory miniatures. She is slender for an operatic star and has & charm- ing personality. Moreover, she alone of the entire cast did not anxiously watch with continuous care every mo. tion of the baton which Aldo Fran- chetti, the agile little conductor, waved Imperatively. The capacity audience which listened to the opera in Poli’s Theater last night applanded Miss Lucchese's arias with enthusias- tic applause. Mario Valle, as Germont, the old father of the love-sick hero, gave Miss Lucchese's soprano voice excel- lent contrast with his rich baritone notes in the duet between them in the second act. His part was compara- tively small, but he made the most of his opportunities and also gave his characteriaation _considerable dr: matic coloring. Romeo Boscacci. as Alfredo, the hero, sang his tenor role with evident feeling, although some of his notes had a slight huskiness. Anita Klinova, as Annina, the maid, wore a modish maid’'s costume which, while becoming, was certainly an an. achronism in the period of hoop- skirts and ruffled brecches. Her lovely contralto voice had but little oppor- tunity in the role. Frances Morosini ng especially well in the third act. atale Cervi and Francesco Curc gave adequate bass support. The orchestra played the operatic ' score very well, even if a bit loud at times, and Franchetti, the conductor, hustled nobly on a home-run stretch from the orchestra pit to the back of the house and around to the stage in | time to bow with the principal sing- ers before the audience at least once after every scene. 7 Mme. Tamaki-Miura, the delightful little Japanese prima donna, will sing the title role of “Mme.
