Terminal

From Cleveland to Rochester went troupers of the Metropolitan Opera Company last week, gave there their two last performances of the season--Rigoletto with Marion Talley, and Tosca with Florence Easton. At their hotel Miss Talley and her practical mother greeted eager reporters with a cable just received from Emma Calve, retired prima donna who, according to European reports, had presumed to censure the system that would permit such a premature Metropolitan debut as Miss Talley's and the publicity that attended it. Said the cable:

"Statements in newspapers attributed to me utterly untrue. Never made any such comments. Accept my cordial congratulations."
