night with a lukewarm -new
production of Verdi's "II Tro

.The evening ' was saved
from mediocrity by the Met
debut of famed Italian Mezzo

Announced. .
For Bethel
Central Point - At a special
election held October ' 20 at
the Masonic Temple in Cen
tral Point, Bethel No. 38, In
ternational Order of - Job's
Daughters, elected Miss Rach
el Hamilton to i serve as hon
ored queen until January. She
will be installed November 3
at 7:30 p.m. at the Central
Point temple. .
Elected to serve - with the
honored queen were 1 the
Misses Jeanette Purdy, Senior
Princess; Rebecca Ferrell,
junior princess;" Helen Goff,
guide; Janet Hobbs, marshal.
This will be the first mid
term installation in the an
nals of the Bethel and was
made necessary by: the resig
nation by marriage of Miss
Suzanne Hood, as queen.
Miss Hamilton, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Scott Hamilton
of Upton Road, Central Point,
has chosen as her theme "Au
tumn Leaves" and the hall
will be decorated in bronze
and pinks in honor of the in
stallation. Invitations are be
ing sent to all surrounding
Bethels and Orders of Eastern
Star and Masons. It will be
open to the public and all
Bethel members have been in
vited to bring escorts and
stay for the dance following.
. Crater chapter, Order- of
DeMolay, will assist in the
crowning ceremony. Novem
ber 3 had already been desig
nated as friendship night and
invitations- had been mailed,
so it was decided to combine
the two events. 1
Acting as installing officer
will , be Miss Kay Askwith,
past Queen of Bethel 38.
Guide and marshal, respec
tively, will be Miss Judy Tay
lor,'queenf Bethel 56, Shady
Cove, and Miss Barbara Gor
don, queen of Bethel 55,
Medford.
Initiation of one candidate,
Miss Verdie Jean Reynders,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Richard Reynders of Jackson
ville was also held. October
20. Miss Kay Askwith, past
honored queen, presided at
the meeting.
October 20 had been desig
nated Eastern Star and Ma
sonic visitation night, and
many members of Nevita
chapter attended. The worthy
matron, Mrs. Frank Ward, and
patron, Wyles Berry, headed,
the delegation. The Daugh
ters presented them dish
towels for the temple

broidered a towel with the

voiced singer of great artistry,
but her dramatic intensity in
the role of the Gypsy Aziicena
fell short of .that of Chloe
Elmo, another great Italian
diva who' sang at the Met a
decade ago. Simionato got her
share of bravos even if so
prano Stella got all the roses.
Action Is Slow
Unfortunately for all the
fine VOCal talent involved, the
action was slow, the acting
mannered and the orchestra
under conductor Fausto Cleva
lacked the drive and excite
ment inherent in the beautiful
score.
"II Troyatore" has been in
the Met repetoire since the
company's first season, 1883,
but it was never before select
ed for an opening night and
perhaps for good reason. It is
a . contrived tale of baby
switching, murder, frustrated
love, suicide, revenge and
executions which fails to en
gross. -
"Darling, I've lost track of
the plot," was a frequent com
ment in Sherry's bar where
business was brisk from din
ner through four t acts and
three intermissions.
Ogle Pretty Women
General Manager' Rudolf
Bing, now in his tenth year
at the Met, has prided him
self on gradually drawing the
dressed-to-kill opening, night
crowds out of Sherry's, the
club rooms and corridors and
back into the theater.;
But Monday .night there
was a noticeable tendency to
linger over champagne cock
tails and ogle pretty , and
famous women including the
Marchioness of Londonderry,
Rosalind Russell, Alicia Mar
kova, Ileana Bulova, Greer
Garson, Eleanor Searle Whit
ney, and Faye Emerson.
Bing could console himself
with the , near-record $86,287
poured into the till by 3,616
patrons who paid as much as
$40 for orchestra seats that
normally sell for $9.35.
