By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 7.—Internecine :ng warfare was blamed by police to- y for another death in chlcms un- derworld—that of Pasquale “Patsy” “Pardi, leader of the “42” gang and one- time suspect in the slaying of Alfred Lingle, Chicago Tribuns reporter. ‘Tardi, the seventh lelder of the “42” En to perish before the weapons of If-world foes, like so many of his lecessors, was killed in typical gang- land fashion.

Costanzo was wounded, perhaps fatally. ‘The killers escap>d, and Costanzo was later found by a nun on the doorstep of a hospital several blocks distant. Police were unable to find any witnesses other than Costanzo, but residents re- ported there had been a veritable storm of gun fire and that two motor cars raced away in opposite directions.

THE EVENING Music and Musicians Reviews and News of Capital’s programs. Two Don Juans Feature Opera Evening. RIC WILDHAGEN, the per- sonable and finely voiced Don Juln of the German Opera 'S production of the ozart opera at the National last nl‘ht. suddenly gave in to a temperature of a 101, and was sub- stituted for by Richard Grosz, liter- ally at a moment's notice. The result, although the per- sonalities of the two singers are at opposite poles, detracted not a mite from the whole, since Herr Grosz sang with zest and obvious enthu- siasm and seemed thoroughly familiar with the business before him. However, one must admit that after putting its best foot forward the opening night, this company was not all that it might have been. Although Dr. Von Schillings led his men with the same skill, the musi- clans seemed a trifle less enthu- siastic and followed him only when and where they chose. And the singers often seemed undecided just when they should begin and cast quizzical eyes at the director. The Mozart music, which is apt to surprise those who do not go about humming it after the fashion of some of the other operas, is full of melodic tidbits that make the opera more stimulating than one might suppose. Although one won- ders why, with the vast Wagner panorama before it, the company chooses to offer this in lieu of some of the others, its reception always seems warm, even with the pitfalls that are known to beset it. Last night, the most notable sing- ing came from Margarethe Baumer as Donna Anna, and she, although submerged in some of the quartets and sextets by over-anxious co- patriots, contributed a highly pleas- ing tonal quality whenever on the stage. Less effective, but still giving evidence of a fresh and some day probably vital voice, was Annette Royak in the whimsical role of Zerline. Emilie Frick, however, seemed to have difficulties with her part of Donna Elvira, attacking the high notes with something like frenzy and swallowing many of the others. In the other roles Hans Hey was outstanding in his interpretation of the garrulous Leporello, and Max especially good moment. On the whole, though, things didn’t seem quite right last night. Dr. Von Schillings, contrary to the etiquette of his rank, was kept wait- ing for a full five minutes before the curtain would part before him; the ensembles ran in and out as though at the end of a stick, and the singers—probably from the newness of their appearance—seemed to finch unnecessarily. By tonight, when they play before Baltimore Menkenites, they will probably have been restored to their true merits. For they are—most of them—singers of the first rank. And they did give STOP! xm Back Gi Safe for adults and children. At Barbers and Druggists. Adrian had one HAIR WHAT DOES 1931 MEAN TO YOU?

F interest to musicians and others in and about Washington is the news that Max Kobre, a young vio- linist, who is only 10 years old and is already said to be a considerable virtuoso, will be introduced over the radio station WRC next Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. ‘The youthful violinist, who resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. H.
