Antonio Scotti, for ten years a favor
ite In Atianta, shambled out In his
clown's costume and began the senor
v “Prolegue,” a marvelous compo - |
sition depicting the whole theme of
the tragedy to follow. "There was
beauty in Scotti's lower tones, hm.‘
the great feature of the prologue was
the subtle shading, the powerfully
dramatic reading, he gave it. We
have long known BScotti as a t‘on-§
summate actor, but he has never done
a greater bit than this, and that which

Florence Faston, a singer new to|
Atlanta, but who is the soprano sthr
of the company Seotti is taking on
tour, waa the Nedda. She proved
herself an excellent singer from the !
first, and her soaring bird song won
her applanse. Two young singers
made their debut, too—Mario Lau
rentl as Sitvio, and Gilordano Pal
trinieri as Beppo, the harlequin.
Caruso at His Best.
Praise of Enrico Caruso perhaps is
tov much a mattér of course to bhe
worth while. But one could not
write of “Pagliacci” without discuss
lng the Canio, 1 can only say that
lcgc all of those wiseacres who an
nounceé emch season that Caruso has
started on the downhill path could
have heard him nlni the great “Vest!
la giubba” last night. I think they
would revise their opinions, He gave
this masterpiece of dramatic singing
all the beauty that he gave the lovely
airs of “Martha”™ on Thursday after
noon, with the addition of an emo
tional power that is beyond descrip
tion. He was hu'dig less effective in
the second act, when he sang the
mfierb “No, P-{lhcdo, non son,” and
followed it with his terrific denuncia
tion of the faithless wife and the ery
which ac&;mpcnled her death at his
hands, hen the curtain fell there
was o long period of silence before
the applause bom and thousands
stosd and applau until they split
their gloves while Caruso and his fel
low artists bowed their farewells
from the footlights.
Seven performances were given in
the week. The season opened with
Verdi's “La Forza del Destino,” and
there followed “Faust,” “Alda,” “Mar
tha,” “La Boheme"” and “1 Puritani”
the week closing with last night's

Stars of the Matinee
By DUDLEY GLASS.
Hellini's vld-fashioned ‘1 Puritania,”
presented as the matinee perform
anee, proved to be a rather silly old
thifg, very well sung by the princi
pals, but with general indifference in
the ehsemble. The story was without
interest, and the music meaningless,
But it served the purpese for which
it probably was dug out of obscurity
by Metropolitan-——to give Madame
ntos a fresh vehicle for her
coloratura trills and the new tenor,
Lagzaro, opportunity to reach the hugh
notes for which he I 8 famous, Oddly
enough, it was in the hands of a
Sp.%hh cast, Barrientos, Lazaro and
thé basso, Mardones, all being natives
of that country. |
The most satisfactory singing of
the afternoon was by De Luca, (h his
splendid opening air, by Mardones,
in his first act number and by the
IWo in the tremendous duet for bari
tone and basso which mark the close
of the third act. Madame Barrientos
was given repeated recalis after her
mad scene aria, “Qul wm Voece” and
Lagaro achieved a popular success in
hig iudln: air, “A te o cara”
The audience, though it numbered
more than 5000, was the smallest of
the week. It was largely composed of

side of this openly threatened.
This country has unlimited re

inhabitants who have just shown
what they can do in war, on land
and water. It is a country that

unless because of indifference or
weakness among itg citizens,

This WORLD is on fire. The
news from Italy today is, if not
exaggerated, the most alarming
that could be read. From other
European countries, from all points
except THIS fortunate country, the
news is bad. In Great Britain ap
pears the first serious Bolshevik
demonstration, a demand by organ
ized soclalists that soviet govern
ment rule Great Britain. In Eng
land they have got past the point
where they dare try to solve agita
tion by putting men in jail for
what they say. That doesn’'t work
there,
The British Government, in an
officlal White Paper, expresses
great fears of absolute Bolshevik
victory in Germany, and urges that
a peace be made such as the Ger
man {mobla can accept and as
npeadlg a 8 possible. They have
stopped talking about Bolshevism
in Germany being a pretense to {M
better peace terms. It is only too
real. In Bavaria, which is German,
citizens are shot dead, their crime
being “respectability.”
From Italy the news is as might
have been expected, unfortunately.
For the Allies and this nation have
not appreciated Italy's needs, or
her rights, or realized what would
be the effect of re!usln: her de
mands on the east side of tne
Adriatie.
Right or wrong, the Itallans fear
and dislike the Jugo-Slavs, as our
Western coast, right or wrong,
fears and dislikes the Asiatics.
Across the Adriatic are the best
harbors in the world, tacing Italy
only a few miles away, menacing
her shores. And on the Itallan
side of the Adriatic there are no
harbors, no possible means of de
fending Italy's exposed water
prontier.
The position of Italy with Jugo-
Slavic Bolshevism ruling the east
coast of the Adriatic would be like
the position of Chicago, Cleveland,
Buffalo .and other cities of our
lakes, if just across each lake there
were Asiatic populations, supplied
with harbors, from which to attack
at any moment unprotected coasts
on our side.

WASHINGTON, April 26—That
the American Government confidently
expects the nltimate overthrow ot the
Bolshevik regime in Russta was Indi
cated tonight when the State Deé
partment, without comment, issued a
warning to American interests not to|
accept any concessions - from the
Trotzky-Lenin authorities. ‘
“Rumors that Americean interests
have been seeking concesstons from
the Bolshevik authorities have been
called to the attention of the Depart
ment of State” the statement ran,
“As the Government of the TTnited
States has never recognized the Bol
shevik regime at Moscow, it is deem
ed proper to warn American business
men that any concessions from the
‘Bolshevik authorities probably wounld
not be recognized as binding on fu
ture Russian governments."”
In view of recent developments, the
State Department's warning was con
sidered significant in official circles,
Reports from Paris this week stated
that America, along with the Allied
countries, would extend simultaenous
ly recognition to the Omsk govern
ment immediately upon the signing of
peace and would extend the moral
and material aid necessary to sustain
that regime However, while the
State Department claimed to be with
out any official advices dealing with
this phase of the Russian situation
high officials of the department ex
pressed the belief that recognition of
ilhn Omsk government wauld not come
until some time after the conclusion
of peace. But that the Omsk rule
was the one that ultimately would re
ceive the recognition of the great
powers they practicglly conceded.
Informally discussing an uncon
firmed report that Roger C. Tredwell,
who held a roving commission as
American Consul, had been released
by the Bolsheviki, the State Depart
‘mont officials tonight let it be known

Orlando and Diaz
Inflame Italians
(By Intefnational News Service.)
ROME, April 26 —Premier Orlando,
who was given a tremendous ovation
upon his arrival from Paris today,
delivered a speech at the railway sta
tion,
“Have we done well in leaving Par
is?” demanded the Premrier in his ad
dress, and a roar of “yes” went up
from the throng.
“Tne situation is grave and the
honor of the country is in danger
even if we remain alone,” continued
Signor Orlando. “But we must in
sist upon obtaining what is our own.
We muast be ready to face new priva
t'ons. The Italians know what hun
g;\.r is, but they are not ashamed
of it
“Let us suppose that the worst has
happened,” continued the Premler.
“We have confidence that you will
answer later with deeds. The army
and navy are better organized and
disciplined than in 1916.”
At this point the Premier was in
terrupted with cries of *“We are
ready.”
Signor Orlando went on:
“I am not asking you that. We need
onlg supplies. We have the courage.
1 shall not conceal the dangers and
risks at thig grave hour. Italy must
not and can not die.”
General Diaz, the [talian command
er in chief, who accompanied Premier
Orlando, appealed to the Italian vet
erans “to be ready to do their duty.”
Prince Oolonna regretted that the
reception aecorded President Wilson
in Rome “had perhaps led him to be
lieve that Italy was with him.”
An unconfirmed report was in cir
culation this afternoon in Vatican
circles that “the Italian questior
would sho=tly he settled satisfacto
rily.”
A squidron of Capreni airplanes
flew over the city dropping
pamphlets during a parade of 100,000
persons this aftéernoon.
The whole of Rome is gay with
flags and there are numberless
placards poctd bearing such inserip
i tions as “Ttaly has Dalmatia; Flume
or death now.”

Wanted Wilson to Wait
(By International News Service.)
LONDON, April 26.—Neither Pre.
mier Lloyd Go':r'fe nor Premier Clem
enceau appro of the issuance of
President Wilson’s manifesto on the
Italian situation at the time it was
madade publie, it was announced in a
statement here this afternoon.
Both Premiers had heard the text
of the manifesto read, but urged that
ite publication be postponed in hope
that there could be an adjustment of
the Fiume problem. President Wil
son, however, considered the time
most propitious to make public his
declaration and issued it upon his
own résponsibility, it was said.
Prior to Premier Orlando’s depar
ture from Paris, both the British and
I'rench Premier handed the Italian
Prime Minister a mémorandum stat

For May Day Will Be
Given at Agnes Scott
The love affair of Psyche and Eros
is the theme of the annual Jigeant
at Arnes Scott College, celebrating
May Day on the second of that month
with what promises to be the daint
iest and most elaborate pageant ever
seen on the charming green campus.
Miss Ldey Dun will take the role
of Psyche, and Miss Rhea King is
Eros. Miss Lewellyn Wilburn s
Aphrodite and Miss lois Mcintyre
will be the messenger of Zeus in the
person of Hermes. The pageant is
under the direction of Miss Randolph.
director of physical education, with
the musical program in charge of Mr.
Dieckmann, head of the music de
partment. The publie is invited.
The plan of the pageant depicts the
sudden love of Fros a most affection
ate little godling, for Psyche, l%ve
liest of ortfis. Erog' mother,
Aphrodite, qhapproves of the match
and flves T a leaden arrow of
despair with which to stick the sleep
ing Psyche. Eros’ intentions are
obedient, but he is paralyzed by the
beauty of the sleeping maiden and
gets hold of the wrong arrow-—the
golden arrow of Love. By way of
P&rdy correcting his error, or at
east to rut himself in the same boat,
the intelligent little god stabs him
self with the same weapon and
scampers away in a panic.
The mischief is accomplished, how
ever, and he is permanently smitten.
The union is unfeasible, owing to
Psyche being a mortal, but a petition
to Zeus draws from his kindness the
Cup of Life and Psyche is made im
mortal. After which, of course they
live happily ever after.
The action of the pageant is at
tended with elaborately costumed
x{mbollc dances by a great and
charming chorus.

Baker Favors Parades,
But Doughboys Do Not
By JOHN T. PARKERSON.
Staff (‘,orru?ondent of the |. N. §.
PARIS, April 26.—Newton D. Baker,
the American Secretary of War, who
will sail for home from Brest tomor
row, went on record toda{ as favoring
parades by returned soldiers wherever
it is possible in the United States, Bu!
Mr. Baker’'s views in this respect are
not shared by the doughboys them
selves.
Following out the idea or leaving it
to the discretion of the men, Secretary
Baker personally canvassed an Illinois
division. The men were told that to
parade might mean a week or two long
er in camp, and theg' were almost unani
mous in turning down the proposal.
They said they wanted to be demobil
ibzled and to get home as soon as possi
e,
Secretary Baker said that the thing
which impressed him most on his tours
of the American front was the remark
able health and general excellent con
dition ‘'of the men. Their equipment
was unmatched anywhere and their
morale was the highest possible.
