PONSELLE AMAZED AT CITYS GROWTH Carmela Believes We Have Basis for Cultural Expansion “Far from the madding crowds’ of New York City, Cormela Ponselle, Metropolitan songbird, who, with Rudolph Gans, pianist and sympho- ny orchestra leader will give thelr first concert of the Civio Music As- sociation at the Capitol theater to. morrow afternoon, arrived in New Britain Friday afternoon to spend a two-day vacation here, First & letter, and then a tele- gram, apprised local officlals of the association that a surprise visit two days before the concert was in store, Arthur G, Kimball, busineas mana- ger of the association, hastily as- signed James Kennedy, of the board of directors, to meet the diva at the Berlin rallroad station and bring her to the city in his automobile, so that she might be spared the plebelan " CARMELA PONSELLE ride Into New Britain on the so-call- ed dinky line. Mr. Kennedy had no trouble in inducing sundry journal. ists to help him. ‘What huppens when a songbird comes to town can be summarized as follows: A Question of Fianos Did her piano arrive? asked the singer. My, Kennedy grew cautious. There hae been a report of two pi- anos, he said; Ganz would play one make and perhaps there would be no need for the other— “But,” Miss Ponselle interjected, “I am under an fron-bound contract to use only my own piano and can- not possibly utilize that of Mr. Ganz.” Wrapped in thought, Mr. Kennedy countered: “But we got word from Mr. Ganz that he also had an iron- bound contract to use only his own piano.” . An unusual situation, Miss Pon- selle smiled, but there was no way out of it that sahe could see. Perhaps both pianos covid be on the stage. 1f this little matter doesn't changoe for the better there will be two pl- anos on hand tomorrow afternoon. Such 18 the artistic life. When Miss Ponselle'ordered a suite at the Burritt hotel she asked the clerk whether there was a plano in it. The negative reply brought one from her that she absolutely needed one for her -practicing. Without losa of time she hurried to a piano emporium and while all other busi- néss there stopped got a promise from the manager to send a piano to her suite at once. Moving pianos ar~und in this fashion is no incon. sequential task but such things must be done in the case of operatic songbirds. The manager got her to autograph the piano, however, per- haps figuring it ultimately would raise its value in the cstimation of the ultimate buyer. Disburses Autographs ‘Then the business of disbursing autographed photographs to the charmed and immediate circle. No- body could be refused and with charming personality Miss Ponselle yielded to all requests. When she discovered that one of the recipients was a murried man she insisted that the word “Mrs.” be added to the dedication statement on the photo- graph, “so -fhat thers be no hard feelings in the family,” as she put it. Returning to the hotel she chatted with reporters who discussed the past, present and futurs with an abandon fully matched by their fair companion for the moment. “Has New Britain grown so much bigger than Meriden?” she asked re- gretfully on learning the population figures. “Why, when I was a child New Britain was the smaller of the two, but now it has left my home- town in the Turch! But you ought to be proud of your progress; it means the possibility of cultural ad- vancement as well as material growth. With a large population you can 46 much if you go about it in the right way. I think this music association idea is wonderful; it is a step in the right direction.” Sees New Britain Opportunity Miss Ponselle did not think the closeness of Hartford would be a permanent factor in .olding back ew Britain’ artistic growth by pro. musical fare for it. hat the use of the automobile makes it easy for people to go to another city for concerts or anything else; but with a population ¢t more than 70,000 New Britain need not fear the Hart- ford influence it the citizens of New Britain drive ahead in 4 manner worthy their importance. We artists are c-atinually going to large cities and small—I amn booked all the way to the coast before the sec- ond half of the Metropolitan season —and it all depends upon local progress and determination where we go. One of the most successful engagements 1 had had this season was in Bangor, Me.. of about 30.000 | population. The crowd was im- mense and the (nthusiasm superb.” Rosa Her Tdeal Her ideal and {nspiration in achieving an artistic career, she ad) mitted, was her sister, Rosa “But I determined from the start, 41 T was to build on a firm founda- all,”” she added. “Rosa offered me & substantial sum to pay my way but I declined the kind offer. I preferred to attempt to climb the ladder un- aided. Rosa, who is younger, started singing in opera earlier than I did, but I'm there and that's the main thing.” The future looked brilliant to this Connecticut singer of renown, yet she did not intend to confine it ex- clusively to :inging for the affluent, or the middle class. The poor and offlicted have always ‘ appealed so atrongly to her sympathy, she said, that she will never overlook an op- portunity to cheer the lives of the unfortunate. Singing For the Poor “I have concluded definitely to de- voto ss much singing to charity as possible,” she declared. “I feel tha the leautitul songs that have been written by master minds are ntend- ed as much for the poor and afflict. cd as for tho rich. Already I have begun this campaign. Twice recent. ly I sung for crippied children in New York—and how the joy buh- bled within me to see thesc poour cripples smile with p.easure; to hear them laugh was greater pay by far than recetving money for it. I wish to bo a missionary for good music emong lowly hearts, to use a good share of my talent for the uplift cf that part of humanity which moet nocds it. T am convinced the beauty of music is not meant for the few, and 1o the end of my days I shall never overlook an opportunity to cheer up the hearts that most need it tion, that I would have to make my own way and not lean on Rosa at RUDOLPH GANZ Her breasts heaved; there was a thoightful and rather wistful look in her eyes. She meant it. All Music Has Charms w style of music do you love | Leat?” she was asked. “The colorful,” came the instant reply. “Then what about Brahms and the subticties of erudite music?"” “Well, I like Brahms and the Ger- an lieder also—there is color in them but of a different kind than the sic of Carmen or Samson and Delilah. Indeed, I have devoted much time and thought to the lieder; they plumb the soul, they are deep. meaningful, forco one to return to them time and again. They don't wear out. That is why they are great music. But all music, what. ever the style or be the general color £ay or sad, has charms to the musi- cal. 1 jove it all.” “I am studylng musi¢ in weven languages. To do this requires a master of each language to teach me the proper pronuncilation of all the words. I love to achieve this mastery, t0o, and it is so important in opera to attain this end. Next spring I shall go to Germany and spend months there studying the rolés of German opera and the lan- &uage.” A question eliclted the fact that shé had not yet been assigned a Wagnerian role but expected to get one at the Metropolitan in due course. e The Ponselle family will be well represented at the concert here to- morrow afternoon., One of the first items Miss Ponselle attended to was to insure courtesy tickets for the Ponselles in Meriden, and from the looks of it there will be about a dozen of the family, fincluding cousins, at the concert. The Music Association of course, was delighted to extend this courtesy. It will be the first time Carmela has appeared in New Britaln. Her sister achleved triumphs here, and Carmela is eager to show the home-towners all just how good the other Ponsclle sister happens to be. To this end she has arranged a most delectable program; and it may be added that Rudolph Ganz also has left nothing undone to make the planistic side of the con- cert exceptionally attractive. Being told that the World me- morial had been completed at the summit of Walnut hill and that it was but a few blocks from down- town, Miss Ponselle said she would take a walk in the park at her first opportunity and inspect the monu- ment.

Saxe in police court today. He gave notice of an appeal to superior court in $500 bonds. Louis Golec, aged 25, of 26 Alden street, was fined $50 on the charge of evading responsibility, with $25 remitted, and judgment was 6us- pended on the charge of driving without a license. He was represent. ¢d by Attorney Harry M. Ginsburg. | Zablocki and Golec were arrested on November 2 by Sergeant O'Mara {and Officer Liebler. Zablocki was |at the wheel of & truck which was being towed through Myrtle street by an automobile driven by Golec, |and the truck struck & parked car, | arter which Golec removed the tow | rope and drove away becausc he had no license. The police found Za- blocki under the inluence of liquer. According to the testimony, Za- blocki had repaired the truck for its owner and then asked Golec to tow it, which Golec did as an accome niodation, Attorney Lawrence J. Golon, rep- resenting Zablocki, contended that the latter was not the operator ef the truck under the law because the motor was not running, while Prese- cuting Attorney Woods took the stand that he was the operator be. cause the motor vehicle lawa defing an operator as one who stees, drives or guldes a car, whether it is being towed or mnot. Attorney Golon said he knew of two cases of this sort that have been nolled n superior court on the theory that if the motor was not running in & towed car, it was not a motor ve- hicle and therefore the person &t the wheel could not be considered the operator. Judge Saxe disagreed. There was no question in his mind, he said, that Zablocki was guilty as' charged and he scored “marvied | men with families who fail to be careful,” Zablockl having been com- victed for drunken driving én ,August 28. The six months pen- tence is mandatory in cases of 86c. | ond offenders, he said, but he weuld hold himself in readiness to hear |application for a suspension of part ‘n! it at & later date, BECONES A FORGER 70 AID RELATIVES Youth Says He Wanted to Hep Uncle and Aunt David Bardoonian, 19 years ofd t by Detec- | forger, who wfi caught | tive Bergeant McCue and Sergequt | O'Mara yesterday forenoon, took the witness stand In police court todsy |after pleading gullty to two céunts, !and said he was prompted to Make {the attempt to raise money on the | forged paper by a desire to help his uncle and aunt and their children, {who are In need.
