described his near-future plans.
He was to have starred in the
Philadelphia La Scala Opera Com-
pany production of "La Boheme"
in Philadelphia today with an-
other performance of the same
opera scheduled for Newark, N. J.,
Saturday of this week. The Tele-

As he talked, Tagliavini reveal-
ed the one outside interest he is
able to maintain in his very spare
spare-time. Glancing now and
then at the dressing-table mirror
before which he was seated, he
sketched a self-portrait with a,
pencil borrowed from a back-
stage usher. "It is my past-time,
my divertissement," he explained.
A slightly more than moderate
smoker who never carries his own
cigarettes and has no preferences
as to brand, Tagliavini was seen
to "bum" cigarettes from at least
four persons during intervals be-
fore, between and after his num-1
bers as Nedda.
Britton, Jean Thalner, Suzanne
Smith and Charlotte Boehn will
present Peter DeRose's "Deep Pur-
ple."
A group of art songs by Brahms
and Griffes and songs by Rom-
berg, Debussy, Respighi, Bryan,
McKay, Hoist and Schumann will
be included in the program, which
will close with three Michigan
songs to be presented by the entire
Glee club. Lennis Britton will di-
rect.
The concert will be open to the
public.
