Sir-In answer to "Not So Rusty," who accused the Choral Group in your columns today of not having offered any part of the proceeds of "Cavalleria Rusti- cana," to the British War. Or, ganisation Fund, permit me to state that the Secretary of this Fund was the Arst person 17- proached when the idea of pro- ducing the opera was discussed in October last year.
The Choral Group offered the B.W.O.F. part proceeds of the pro- posed performances, but the offer was not accepted.
The above explanation, I trust, will dispel any misunderstanding that may have arisen in the minds of the public as the result of "Not So Rusty's" letter.
