...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...
...revival was a gala occasion. A throat affliction prevented Soprano Rosa Ponselle from appearing as Donna Anna.

Nebraska-Big Six champions though tied by Missouri and Oklahoma-trounced eleven Iowa Statesmen made wild but not dangerous by six beatings in a row. Nebraska 31, Iowa State 12. Georgia's little bulldogs put on the snarl they wore for Yale at the start of the season. Nice passes and a fake end run made them 12, Alabama 0. Kicks were the important thing in weather...
