Return.

Dame Clara Butt, back in Eng- tand for her Autumn tour after a year's triumph in the Enat, told me something that should, send every operatic impresario straight to Tokyo, writes H. E. W. in the Manchester Guardian.
She was talking of her experi- enees in Japan, of their splendid concert-halla, and their enthusiastic audiences, Incidentally I may say that she sang to them in Japanese,

"The Japanese," she declared, "are a race of tenors. Pure tenors I heard them everywhere. And their woman singers-they are all. sopranos-have lovely quality. But they don't run to basses." If the next Pinkerton at Covent Gar den isn't a Japaneso I will never believe in the International Season again."
Dame Clara talks with An. CN- thusiasm which is controlled by the good Anglo-Saxon quality of com monsense. No, diva who has sung to the world for a generation could speak of her life's work more placid- ly. She admits to never having been subject to nerves. "A singer's life is the perfect one"--and she only qualifies this by admitting that i there are worries when you get away from the concert platform. Talking to people is often harder work than singing to them.
A aly hit, and I change the sub- ject by recalling to Mr. Kennerley Rumford when we last met on the cricket-field.
Dame Clara Butt laughs, "That'a his passion," she says, "Once, he brought me back post haste from Austraila because he wanted to be in Britain by May. I thought he had some wonderful engagement. He had, but it was on the cricket- field.".
SEQUEL TO FLIGHT OVER ROME.
Two Germans To Be Expelled From France.
The two Germans who are alleg- ed to have sold to Signor di Bosis, the young Italian, the aeroplane with which he made his audacious propaganda flight over Rome, when he dropped anti-Fascist leaflets, are to be expelled from France.
Meanwhile there is still no news of the young flyer, who is bellev. ed to have deliberately thrown away his life after dropping the leaflets by steering his machine out over the sea to Corsica, wel! knowing there was not enough petrol to take him there.
