PAGE FOUR SOCIETY Hinepital-Beucfit Dance Will Be Put On Tonight At Athletic Club\*"* “*°"""* For the benefit of Mercedes hospital the Kappa Pi-Y organiza- tion will stage a dance at the Athletic Club tonight. ‘ This hospital has been for many! years the one place in Key West authorized to give aid, assistance! and medieal attention to those of Key West who cannot afford to enter other hospitals of the city. The services of the n.atron, Mrs. Maria Gutsens, have been given} free of remuneration and those! of her assistants who are paid re-| ceive a minimum for their work. In every way the institution is! run on a most economical basis: compatible with the services ren-} dered to the poor and indigent of the city. However economically the prac- tices followed are carried on, there is-always the necessity of funds and with the stoppage of the monthly allowance of the city and that of the country, money has been scarce indeed, it is shown. | G00D SHOWING “TAX PAYMENTS = FOR FEBRUARY i GOOD RECORD IN PAYMENT -OF REAL AND PERSONAL TAXES REPORTED FOR MONTH Tax payers in Key West are making a very good showing at this time in the payment of real and personal taxes. _For the month of February this year, the records of the office of Tax Assessor-Collector Sam Pin- der show that collections, real es- tate and personal, amount to $6,- 993.02, paid by 34 persons. This amount exceeds that of the same month last year by $6,542.15 The appearance of the building has gradually grown unprepos- sessing as the paint has disappear- ed, and the necessity of painting has for a long time been appar- ent, Some time ago Mrs, Gutsens/ made a canvass of the city and se- cured paint and.funds sufficient to dress up the structure but no; funds for painters, The young and energetic mem- | bers of the Kappa Pi-Y Club was told of the straits to which the hospital was reduced and the prob- lem ef painting the structure was called to the attention of the membership. At once it was decided to give an entertainment for the purpose! | of securing the labor for the work! and the result of the planning is the Kappa Pi Kabaret tonight. All of the funds over and above ex- penses will be used to pay labor for painting the hospital.

With its delicious risque pass- ages the film shows us the private {life of Henry VIII and five of his six wives, the court intrigues, the jealousies, the beheading of Anne Boleyn, the coming of Ann of Cleves, the beautiful Katheryn Howard and, finally, Katherine Parr. The film opens with the coming execution of Anne Boleyn, a scene splendidly handled, with the spec- tators assembling on the green; then the king’s further adventures into the matrimonial ~ field; a glorious interlude with Ann of Cleves, the ‘highlight of which is a game “of ‘cards’ ‘played’ on their wedding night; at which Henry is decisively defeated; his attempt to pay a stealthy visit to the bed- chamber of Katheryn Howard; their wedding and her love for [Cuber discovered by Wrio- thesly—a dramatie scene where the truth is laid before the mon- arch who is reduced to tears. Finally, as age creeps on, comes his wedding to Katherine Parr, who dominates this still tem- pestuous King. The rest of the cast also yield brilliant performances. Binnie Barnes as Katheryn Howard gives a scintillating portrayal. Elsa Lanchester, in private life Mrs. Laughton, does wonderfully well {as Ann of Cleves.

Pons To Sing “Lucia” In This Week’s Opera Donizetti's Music-Drama, Famous for Mad Scene and Sextet, To Be Broadcast At Metropolitan Matinee Told By LILY PONS I was in Rome last year, day at tea, I asked Maestro Giordano, the great Italian compo- eer, why he did not write an opera fer a coloratura soprano. “Where are the coloratura sopra- aoe?” he asked. I made him my very best and @eepest curtsey, whereupon, kissing with greatest gallantry, He Gl E a f and our reper- ited. The public, here loves florid sing- is no doubt. Let CTE uae jit iH rt r example, Donizetti's moor’ which the Opera Association is this Saturday after noon and in which I am singing the Some critics say scorn- ft is given only that a soprano may display her the “vocal fire-works” of the true only so far as the demands a coloratura sopra- the leading part; but the Mad is only one episode in a very opera, Donizetti's master- of lovely melody and con- the famous Sextet ene of nest and most thrilling ensem- im all operatic literature. The is much more dramatic that of many a modern opera. Lacy Ashton is one of the pathetically sympathetic hero- the opera as well as in Sir Scott’ est, I have never read “The Bride of | Conuiunaicagdead Ty Performance But it is all too much for poor Lucia. She retires to the bridal- chamber with her husband, goes mad, kills him and, rushing out amongst the perturbed wedding guests, sings her life away in what is known as the “Mad Scene.” Her guilty brother flees. Edgardo going to the church-yard to fight him meets instead the funeral proces- sion carrying the body of his be- loved to the tomb. In despair he thrusts a dagger into his heart. There is one interesting thing about the Mad Scene that I want to bring out, The great cadenza with flute accompaniment is not the one which Donizetti wrote. Since the opera was produced in Naples in 1835 it has been greatly elab- orated and made more difficult. This seems to me to prove that the tech- |. . | nique of the coloratura soprano has Lammermoor” but I mean to do so whenever I can find the time. And once when I was in Scotland I dis- covered that not far from Edin- burgh there is a Lammermoor and improved in the last century, just as the techniques of the’ violin and piano have. We are asked to do things today that were thought im- possible a hundred years ago. Great Artists in Cast There is much interesting and ) | beautiful music in “Lucia” besides the Sextet and Mad Scene. In the first scene of the first act is the baritone aria for Enrico, “La pie- tade in suo favore.” In the second scene of that act I sing the “Legend of the Fountain” which is followed by “Quando rapita” and the duet of Lucia and Edgardo. In the first scene of the second act I have the aria “Soffriva nel pianto languiva nel dolore,” expressing my the discovery gave me a real thrill. Some day I shall make a sentimen- tal journey to Lucy's country. Story is “Geed Theatre” The story of the opera is simple, and, as they say, “good theatre.” Despite the age-long feud between their houses Lucia and Edgardo have fallen in love with each other and when Edgardo is compelled to go to France they secretly plight their troth. Enrico, Lucia's brother, discovers this affair which does not at all fall in with his plans. He would have her marry Arturo, an- other Scottish lord, and to this end he not only intercepts Edgardo’s letters but convinces his sister that her lover has been faithless. Lucia reluctantly consents to her marriage with Arturo and just as the ceremony is completed Edgardo appears, full of righteous wrath and crying for v next morning in the church. All this leads up to the great Sextet which is in the second act. misery at the thought of Edgardo’s faithlessness. There is a fine bass aria for Raimondo, the chaplain, Edgardo’s entrance, all leading up to the Sextet. The second scene of this act is given chiefly to the Mad | Scene. In the third and last act is Edgardo’s beautiful air “Tu che a Dio spiegasti rali." ‘The Metropolitan casts for operas for Wagner and Verdi. Nino Mar tini, whom you all know over the |radio and who is now in his first season at the Metropolitan, will sing Edgardo. Guiseppe di Luca Raimondo.
