Before noon the calm grew more profound, for the President and Mrs. Coolidge together with Mr. and Mrs. Frank W.

Upon their return, the five lunched lightly. Then the President napped while the rest of the party went to see Ethel Barrymore in The Constant Wife...

S. premiere at the Metropolitan Opera House, Manhattan-Turandot, posthumous opera of Giacomo Puccini, composer of Madame Butterfly, La Boheme, Tosca. The Metropolitan spared no expense and achieved a gorgeous spectacle-first the rambling walls of the Imperial Palace against a sandy Peking sky and a mumbling Chinese crowd gathered to hear a mandarin read the death decree of the youthful Prince of Persia who has failed to solve the three enigmas of the cruel Princess Turandot; dusk, and the great...
