AT KANTOR STORE| Star Explains Why Role of Heroine, Which She Will Sing ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN IN in Metropolitan Opera Matinee, Once Gave Her “Jitters” Told by ROSA PONSELLE HE great Lilli Lehmann once said, I am told, that the role of Selika in Meyer- beer’s “L’Africana,” which I am to sing in the Metropolitan Opera broadcast Saturday af- ternoon, was the most exhaust- ing in her repertoire. And she used to sing Norma, which to me is much more tiring! But be that as it may, I have this to say about the dusky Indian queen. She, that is, the role, was one of the principal reasons for my losing more pounds avoirdu- pois than I like to think about. Some years ago when I made my first appearance as Selika I was already the traditional dra- matic soprano in size and weight ar well as in other qualities, and in the pageant scene when I was lifted in my throne to the shoul- ders of four husky men, they seemed a@étitally to, totter: ;under the burdén._ PM Sask I had. visions of a majestic que¢n plumping down in the mid- dle of: the stage, perhaps. going through. it,. and it. gave, me the worst case of “jitters” I have ever had during a performance. While still in the air I resolved to rid myself of that surplus weight— and now look at.me! It has been hard but it has been worth the sacrifices involved. Why She Is Fond of Role There are two particular, if foolish, reasons why I am fond of this role. One is that when- ever I “make up” for the part I am reconciled to my olive skin and black hair. * I have always wanted to be a blonde with nice blue eyes but being what I am saves me the bet- ter part of an hour every time I prepare to sing this part, for Selika was very brunette. And it gives me my only com- fortable, peaceful stage death. Being a dramatic soprano I am usually dead by the time the final curtain falis. In the fifteen years I have been in grand opera I have been poisoned, strangled, stabbed, drowned, burned, buried alive, and even have died of galloping consumption. In “L’Africana’” I lie beneath the deadly manchineel tree, breathe its sweet, poisonous fragrance and sleep quietly away with a smile on my face. Meyerbeer was more than twenty years writing “L Africana” and then did not live to see its first performance in Paris in 1865. He thought it his masterpiece and it is most characteristic of his genius. A master craftsman and truly great operatic composer, he created the so-called “grand atic literature, “O Paradise,” sung by Vasco da Gama, the hero, in other things, slumber song in the second act and the exquisite death scene un- at the end of the opera. beginning of the first act is the beautiful ballad sung by Inez. which closes the second act; the love duet between Selika and curiously beautiful and effective is THE CITIZEN BOOSTS BUS- INESS WONDERFULLY Perhaps one of the reasons why J. G. Kantor, Inc., men’s furnish- ings store, carries on such a larg® percentage 6f the business done in the city in that line, is because of the high grade merchandise al- ways carried in stock, but, since this store started its campaign in The Citizen some weeks ago, bus- iness has been steadily increasing, Mr. Kantor reports, Kantor’s has always been on the alert to offer its customers the latest in merchandise and features only the latest styles in men’s clothing. This week Mr. Kantor offers at’ special prices a line of the best grade shirts, such makes as E. & W., Manhattan, Phillips Jones, and others, These shirts are the newest fads from Broadway and are offered in the latest colors and fabrics.

During the sec- ond third of the last century he was Wagner’s most feared and hated rival. | He has given the world many of} its most beautiful arias and duets, many of its most thrilling en- sembles. In all of his operas there are great moments when the audience is fairly taken from its seats by the dramatic beauty of the music, and “L’Africana” is particularly rich in these.
