"i notice the Metropolitan's going to sing one opera in English this year,” said the fat man at the cigar stand. ' That’ll be nice. I never could quite enjoy hearing a lot of gurgles and googles In Dago or Dutch." ‘Don’t get all heated up In ad vance," returned the thin man with the straw hat. "If you think you Can go to the opera and understand all the words, you’re betting on a busted flush. ' Stop end think a minute! When the church quartet bursts into its Easter anthem can you tell what they're singing about? Not unless you follow the hymn book. When the merry, merry chorus 1n a. musical comedy gallops down to the footlights with Its usual tra-la-la, did you ever absorb a syllable? No! “Then why expect to understand English words sung by Italians, Ger mans, French folk and a Spaniard or two? It won't be the real thing. Music's th* Main Thing. "But don’t let this Interfere with your erijoyment of opera. The music will be Just as sweet, and music is 99 4-6 per cent of an opera, anyway. And suppose you could Understand the words, you’d be sorry afterward. "Take a. literal translation of the libretto of one of the most popular operas of a recent season. The so prano has just swallowed a dose of rough-on-rats prepared for a friend. She pauses, looks surprised and pained, and carols a few top notes to express consternation. "'What was that?' she trills, to translate it literally. Was it water? No, It wasn't water. It didn’t taste like water. It tasted nasty. Yes, it was poison. I feel it in my insides. It gives me the trouble like the sea sickness, only far more so.’ “Then she rushed down stage, grabs the tenor around the knees and an nounces: While She Awaits “Death.'' T am dying. I am dead. I can see visions of the little cottage where 1 was bom and where my mother raises sheep, goats and poultry. While I am waiting for the poison, to do its deadly work 1 will sing you a song of my childhood.’ “And she does. She sings It ad libitum, with all kinds of runs and cadenzas and hemi-demi-seml-qua- vers. And it’s beautiful. It really is. You'd think she were an archangel singing an anthem from heaven—if you didn't understand the words. But onoe you begin, to get the drift of the conversation grand opera becomes a Joke. “That’s why the great companies stick to Italian. Every now and then some prima donna comes out strong for opera in English, for any old in terview is good advertising. But you don't notice the impresarios losing any steep, do you? No; grand opera in English is like watching a magician from behind the scenes. You don't see the magic. You just see him take the rabbits out of the hole in the table."

It informed him that Chicago Is being considered as the spot in which to build a “pyramid of labor" a gigan tic building to cost $50,000,000. ‘It is to have several new features about it," said the TOayor after read ing the letter a second tim*. “and is to be 1,200 feet high, and ” here rhe Mayon stopped short because the proposed height i * an even 1,000 feet more than the building ordinance al lows. The proposal, which it is said will be financed by an Eastern person of wealth who does not want his name mentioned until later, reached the Mayor with a set of formal but tenta tive blue print plans of the pyramid and certain specifications. Acres and acres of land in Chicago’s crowded district figure in the proposals. The bewildering project is disclos ed in a. communication from Anson M. Smith, of Now York. He deals in securities and has an office in the Metropolitan Life Building there, ac cording to the letter-head. Here are some of the proposals: It is proposed to spend $50,000,000 in building and endowing a monu ment to labor, to take the. form of a great temple of an, learning and ar chaeology. The time of about one thousand workmen will be required for at. least ten years on the work. Besides the pyramid there are to *be constructed on the grounds—un less by seme chance there should be a hitch in the plans—a replica of the Homan Coliseum, the Parthenon, the leaning tower of Pisa; also a mu seum for the exhibition of things his torical, a stadium, an auditorium and a library building. For the benefit of tffe populace Iwo large hotels will be placed on the grounds.
