Challapin already has engaged several .artists to assist him in the venture, and the stage sets now are being made in Paris.

An operatta also is being planned by the basso. “For a long time I have had a melody in my head,” he said. ‘*‘Some day soon I will write it.” And he hummed a dozen lilting bars. “Ah,” he sald with enthusiasm, “if it will only be another ‘Abie’s Irish Rosel” Just think of Chaliapin playing in his own operetta for four years.
