...corporation. Chicago Opera contracts have been on a yearly basis. An appeal for $500,000 failing last January, no new ones were made. Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera took its pick of the available artists, signed up for next year Soprano Frida Leider, Tenor Tito 'Schipa, Baritone Richard Bonelli (TIME, May 30). Lately the Metropolitan engaged also German Soprano Lotte Lehmann and stately Contralto Maria Olszewska. The Philadelphia Opera will probably get Tenor Paul Althouse for at least part of its season, and Baritone John Charles Thomas who will also sing in concert and radio...
...Civic Opera.* Also from Chicago will come Frida Leider, great Wagnerian Soprano long coveted by the Metropolitan.

...Opera. Soprano Muzio and Tenor Schipa took Verdi's libation of tunes and tears, poured it out, an acceptable sacrifice to Emotion. Muzio, as Violetta, erred, atoned and died. Schipa, as Alfred, loved loudly and blindly while Richard Bonelli, benign as the father, rubbed his hands and looked on at the mischief of his own making. The 3,500 in the Auditorium took delight in Muzio's costumes, in the elaborate sets, in the new ballet with incidental dances by Vechslav Swoboda, in boxholder's emeralds, gowns. The ten million got little of the glamour, missed little...
...Chicago. It is rapidly becoming a convention for the critics of Chicago to hail every week as a great artist some singer hitherto ungraced by U.S. laurels. Two weeks ago it was Baritone Bonelli. Last week it was Luella Melms, coloratura singer, born in Appleton, Wis. She made her debut in Rigoletto. Staid people have been foolish enough to believe that a mod ern audience could not be more than politely moved by the graceful insipidities of the old score-that the days were past when a perfect trill was a signal for young men in evening clothes to unhitch...
