...Last week Covent Garden received one of the most elegant audiences in its history. Gentlefolk in tiaras and white ties took shortcuts through fruit lorries as fragrant as they were when Nell Gwyn peddled oranges there. Turbaned Eastern princes spanked themselves going through the Opera House's swingdoors. Tier upon tier of the gold & scarlet boxes* were full of distinguished Britons and foreigners as distinguished. Peppery old Sir Thomas Beecham waved his baton. The curtain rose on a storm-tossed ship, the first scene in Verdi's Otello. Tenor Giovanni Martinelli of the Metropolitan sang his first role...

Those who cannot afford the Covent Garden productions will have their own Coronation season of operas at Sadler's Wells Theatre in North London.

Unrivaled by Father John or the Smith Brothers, Lydia Pinkham was for years the most vivid personality in the U. S. medicine chest. Lydia Estes Pinkham died in Lynn, Mass, in 1883. Her prim pictures, however, remained on every package of tier famed Vegetable Compound, and clerks went on answering in her name 100,000 letters per year from women who thought the compound relieved their periodic ills. When the late Edward W. Bok started his crusade against patent medicines, he debunked the post-mortem Pinkham correspondence by publishing in his Ladies' Home Journal a picture of Mrs. Pinkham...
