L Bori Wins Plaudits in "Manon f> critical examination is more or less of an impertinence. One might feel that the 'Manon' of the first act was more sophisticated than impetuous, less the flapper than the assured coquette, but in the second act, a dazzling vision to be- hold, even the most ungallant hair split- ting comes to naught." Miss Bori is a native of Valencia. She comes from a well known old Spanish military family. Her father was colonel of artillery. Her mother was a woman of high literary and musical attainments. Miss Bori studied singing in Milan, mak- ing her debut as Micaela, in "Carmen," at the Constanzi, Rome. After a tour of Italy, singing in the leading opera houses, she went to Buenos Aires, where she made one of the greatest successes ever known in the Teatro Colon. She came to the Metropolitan in 1923 and since that time she has been one of the leading singers in that instiution. And, as a recitalist, she is one of the great drawing cards of our day. Lowell Sherman, who has been a Broadway pet for many seasons, goes through an elaborate program of con- tortions in "Morphia," which is in Chi- cago now. The play has several drawn out bits of unnecessary exposition, only Mr. Sherman and the grace of Olive Tell hold the play. Summer Dresses Fluffy light summer frocks for the hot July days.
