The audience gave approval in a warm but somewhat re- served manner. It was an old story dressed up in modern clothes and manners, adapted from the novel and play by Alexandre Dumas Fils and set to music by Ham- ilton Forrest, 28-year-old Chicagoan and former office boy, who said he hoped it would be the forerunner of a series of truly American operas.

Dyer, professor of economics at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn., is “the biggest plece ©f economic bunk ever proclaimed.” “The depression Mas hung on,” he told members of the Manufacturers & Merchants’ Association here Jast night, *because we have tried to keep up prices in a depression. When our leaders said wages must stay at the prosperity level, what they reslly sald was that prices must stay at that level. “But they say keep wages up in order o, maintain buying power.
