London, April 24." The disagreement between Mme. Conchita Supervia and the management of Covent Garden is
to be regretted in that it will pre- vent us from seeing a notable Carmen. Mme, Supervia, since her marriage a British subject. is of Spanish extraction. She has never appeared in this country in opera.
Futnam, appeals to the Royal Academy to give us a winter show of American art.
Putnam, Jo Davidson, and Paul Apart from such sculptors as
Manship, one is apt to forget that America has produced painters like Sargent and Whistler.
One of the best stories in the Putnam book is of the bejewelled lady who was stroking the wet As a layman I should not pre-clay of an unfinished puma in his sume to enter into the merits of studio in Rome. the dispute. The history of opera is full of misunderstandings be- tween the impressario and the. prima donna.
In private life Mme. Supervia Is a person of much vivacity and charm, and prouder of having had an orchid called by her name than of her musical triumphs.

EXHIBITION

And when the tumult reigned supreme. out of chaos came this animal, silent, snarling. Tell me, Mr. Putnam, was 'it not such a thought that inspired you to make this darling little pan- ther?" "

SPEEDING UP DIVORCE
Ferr Fritz Stockinger, the Aus- trian Minister for Commerce, who cpened the Austrian Exhibition at the Dorland Hall yesterday, spoke, sald, "and Except for the sentence in which | self." he actually declared the exhibi- tion open, in German. The only other English came in his first few words, "Eurer Excellenz, my lords, meine Damen und Herren."""
Normally the English title tends to have a comic ring when em- bedded in a foreign tongue. Like the "Sir" in such tities as "Str Chamberlain "-which was such a favourite designation for Str Aus- ten during his Foreign Secretary- ship-it is able to prove some-. thing of a stumbling block to Continental visitors and com- mentators.
Herr Stockinger, however, dealt with the representatives of the peerage who were present with casy familiarity. He did not even call them "my lorts."
A centre of attraction was the big pastel drawing of Dr. Döllfuss in the main hall. Until the end of last week it was hoped that the Chancellor would be able to come to London. This could not be ar ranged, however, so that now only his likeness presides over the ex- hibition:

While every bank in Indiana awaited the desperado he held up a police hearquarters and got away with machine-guns, tear-gas bombs, and other useful items in the American criminal's equip- ment.
When six weeks ago Mrs. Holley, the woman Sheriff in charge of the Indiana gaol, described him as a "tough baby," she spoke more. truly, than she knew.
Since his escape from the prison of which that lady Sheriff had charge, he is reported to have ralded
three banks, planned to kidnap a State Governor, and en- gaged in one or two street battles with the police.
He has also made a sensational escape from police officers who had tracked him down to an apartment house in St. Paul, Af- ter they had emptied their pistols into his front door, Dillinger threw it open, swept the staircase with a portable machine-gun, and escaped unhurt.
TROTSKY'S SYLVAN RETREAT
In planning his "Fourth Inter- national" at Barbizon. Trotsky chose a place famous in the his- tory, of modern painting as the headquarters of the Barbizon School, which includes such gen- the souls as Corot and Millet. ・・
The forest of Fontainebleau, in which Barbizon stands, is one of the beauty spots of France. King Alfonso and his family have en- loyed its delights for prolonged periods since their exile.
Whatever the obliquity of the. Russian Communists' political lews, they have a normal taste in the choice of residence. Corsica, Trotsky's previous place of domi- cfle, is not deficient in scenery. hefore the war the then exiled protagonists of the Russian re- Ministry has volution held a school for Com- inst the vul-munists at Capri also a pleasant India.
