...opening Carmen went off with such finish and pace that most critics pronounced it superior to the winter performances in which high-priced Rosa Ponselle impersonated the irrepressible gypsy heroine. For its spring season the Metropolitan had kept on 60 of its regular orchestramen, 60 choristers, the complete ballet corps. For its Carmen it had retained Bruna Castagna, a roly-poly Italian who joined the Metropolitan regulars last winter and was no stranger to New Yorkers who had heard her in the popular-priced Hippodrome performances and in the Stadium's summer opera.

One morning last week he dismissed his class, stepped into the office of his immediate superior, Chairman Harry Kurz of the Department of Romance Languages. Instructor Weller knew that last month Dr. Kurz had failed to recommend him for reappointment. At his baldish. heavy-featured superior John Weller glared, pulled a revolver, shouted: "I'm going to kill you!" Dr. Kurz leaped up, ran from his office. Instructor Weller fired at him, missed. When Dr. Kurz slipped in the corridor, Instructor Weller stood over him, fired again...
