...Lotte Lehmann singing the part of Elsa in the former. It is interesting to note that this is the same role in which she made her debut before Boston audiences during the last season of the ill-fated Chicago Opera Company. "La Traviata," "Lakme," "Faust," "Peterlbbetson," and "Lucia da Lammermoor" are also being given in this week. Thus, a variety of German.

Last week musical Rochester went three times to the big theatre named for the late George Eastman who gave it, and once to small, chaste Kilbourn Hall which Mr. Eastman built in memory of his mother. But no reckoning had to be done in either boxoffice. These concerts were the second annual Festival of American Music, given free by the Eastman School of Music. Under...
