Since its beginning, the role of Louise has been considered the unique property of Soprano Mary Garden. She it was, an ambitious young Chicagoan* studying in Paris, who saved one of the first performances when the leading soprano collapsed. Mary Garden had never before sung on any stage.

The Dawson golf, like the Dawson face, resembles that of Robert Tyre Jones Jr. Golfer Dawson has learned a wisdom few able amateurs achieve: to prefer a safe four to a perilous three. But Golfer Dawson was troubled less last week by fours than by fives, sixes, and once a seven. Nevertheless during the last nine of the semi-finals he found himself...
