Fan mall from remote cities swamped the studios with recitals of the merits of thfs or that local Patti. Seven eminent musical authorities, acting as judges, separated the wheat from the chaff and narrowed the field down to a damn candidates. Arrangements ware made to have the few that had Weathered the elimination present at a major broadcasting studio for ttie ftnal hearing. The entire Radio Center was on tip toes In anticipation of the event aa proud parents and patronizing sponsors gathered in an anteroom, looking intently through a large glass partition and listening anxiously to the loudspeaker transmitting the efforts cf each succeeding radio candidate. Mr. and Mr. Barret tt of Jellico, Tennessee, pressed, tfceir nodes against the glass and h<;!d their breath, p Mary, their, daughter, stood nervottariy Sfefoft a microphone. - - • Teachar pr Lover •' ^Three thousand miles away, Guilio Monteverdi listened to the broadcast from the comfort of a luxurious yacht, idling in the placid blue waters of the Mediterranean. A handsome young man of thirty-five, fl u i I i o Monteverdi's youthfulness and nonchalance gave np intimation that he had discovered and developed more "Carmens," "Salomes," and "Gildas" than any other Jiving man. Lally, Guilio's latest protege, dark, beautiful and decidedly French, sat watching him with an %lnused smile on her sensuous lips. . "Miss Mary Barrett, bah:!!" Guilio cried. "How do they expect me to judge a voice over a short wave .-...radio?" •--". Seductively, Lally crossed the for a girl like Mary there'/i no •better career than staying honufe marrying some nice fellow and raising a family," Mr. Barrett sage« ly counselled. Gently he took hi« daughter's hand. "Come on, Mary, .we'd better go." "I'm not going home!" was the quiet, but astonishing reply. "What?" gasped her parents la chorus. Looking steadily at her parents,' Mary calmly continued, "I've got Ave hundred dollars of my own ani I'm taking the next boat to Italy, I'm going to haunt evefy opera house in Europe until I make good. Mr. Barrett's jaw dropped and Mrs.. Barrett floundered. "BuV Mary, thare's an opera house right here In Ffew York. ..."

The trans* Atlantic voyage on the palatial steamer, two days in Paris, and the journey through Italy to Milan, seemed some sort of dream- Fantastic merqlories of shopping in Paris and of being enticed by gossamer creations into spending more than she could afford, added to her confusion. Then came the bitter realization that her supply of money was almost gone; but she was immensely happy, and determined to obtain a; musical education at any' cost. Milan, city of true Bohemians, operatic capital of the world. Without creating a ripple in the calm of that beautiful cosmopolitan city, Mary drifted into a dilapidated* three-storied, erazily-built houses that she soon- called home.

The din of conglomerated noises drove all but the initiated away from its environs. Standing by the open window, Mary softly rehearsed a difficult aria from "Traviata," while Muriel, her roommate, painted on a partly completed canvas. Irritated by the noise, Muriel flung her brush aside and called to Mary, "For Pete'a sake, close that window!" "You said you wanted some air,** Mary replied- "Suffocation's a pleasure compared with that babble of^ noise! Can't you do something about itf* Mary grinned at her roommate** question and decided to experiment. Leaning out of the windoifi she started to sing the aria in a full. rich soprano with sweeping operatic gestures. A young violinist on tbe first floor peered up at heir oniaingly and started the accompaniment of the aria. An amused harpist, across the court, followed suit. A cello player and an elderly gentleman. practicing on a large bass vloL entered the ensemble and soon the entire group united In providing an orchestral accompaniment.

"ROBERTA" OPEN AT ERLANGER SUNDAY "Roberta," the only musical comedy on tour, comes to the Erlanger T h e a t r e , C h i c a g o , S u n d a y n i g h t , January 6. It comes direct from a solid year in the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York, and following a long visit in Boston. It may be predicted that there will not be another production thas may compare to "Roberta" in point of popularity, glamour and stupendousness the present season. Producers are just not making them; they have neither the money nor the courage to ,send 80 people and three car loads of equipment on tour. Besides its physical aspects, which give a background of distinction to "Roberta," Max Gordon, the producer, has given this musical comedy a personnel that in talent and numerical strength surpasses anything he has done heretofore, and his efforts of the past have always been prodigal. Thi»: group takes in 23 people who have siftging and speaking parts of importance. These include Tamara, Fay Templeton, Raymond Middleton, Od ette M!yrtii, Marty May, Bobby Jar vis, Sydney Greenstreet, Parker Steward, the California Collegians and the ensemble. ^ 4 * ^ Some of the outstanding features of "Roberta" are its music by Jerome Kern and the fashion parade of the mannequins. The story is not without : its sentiment and the lines are not without their humor. Otto Hsrbaefe is credited with the book. » i:< Walter G. French, Atty.
