...Giovanni has been played by such famed singers as Christine Nilsson, Marcella Sembrich, Lilli Lehmann, Lillian Nordica, Emma Eames, Edouard de Reszk?é, Maurice Renaud, Victor Maurel and Antonio Scotti, who 30 years ago made his U. S. debut as the Don. Critics everywhere name it one of the world's great operas, some say the greatest. Not for 21 years, until last week, had it been given at Manhattan's Metropolitan Opera House...
...Fridtjof Nansen persuaded the Aero-Arctic Society to hire the Graf Zeppelin for a North Polar excursion next May. Preparations went smoothly until last week when Dr. Hugo Eckener asked his crew whether they would go.

He was a naval architect on the late Count Ferdinand Zeppelin's staff and was operating a Zeppelin, the Sachsen, when the War broke out. Perforce he became a raider, bombed Antwerp once, London twice. In his book The Zeppelins, he reports, without boast or apology, that he could have destroyed London were that the German desire. He invented the device of concealing dirigible raiders by lowering...
...tried her voice, added a touch of carmine to her cheeks, adjusted the green wreath on her flowing black hair. Tomorrow her British debut would be over. Tonight she must face the coldest public in the world, a public which had not heard Norma since the late great Lilli Lehmann sang it in London 30 years before, Lehmann who had said: "I would rather sing all three Brünnhildes than Norma...
