The measure was introduced as a result of dissatisfaction three years in an effort to sup among Raleigh merchants about ply information to assist in fut- lower prices at the college on certain dairy, truck, and horti- cutural nrodurta because the license tax on these goods was not paid.

Royster ''The enthusiasm with which the Emperor Jones has been re ceived, both by the critics and the opera goers,' indicates the profound impression it is mak ing upon the opera world," re marked Lawrence Tibbett, America's outstanding contribu tion to operatic roles, late Wed- g(Jay night at his room in a Raleigh hotel. A few moments before he had been f orceably whisked away from a mob of autograph seek ers who nad clambered upon the stage and surrounded him following his concert at the Ra leigh Memorial Auditorium. Somewhat bewildered, as , he himself admitted, by the rush of curiosity hunters who greeted him at every turn he had been carried bodily through the hotel lobby to his room. Dressed now in a dark suit for traveling, he: talked quietly and affably as he snatched a bite, to eat before catching his mid-l night train. "The combination of Gruenberg and "O'Neil have made quite a ' stir in New York, he continued. "People to-r day have ' become tired of the; old ' diet. They want an opera with a plausible story and good music combined, not merely one filled with pretty tunes." New Opera Great Step The Emperor Jones of Gruen berg and O'Neil has, Mr. Tibbett feels, been a decided step in a new direction. He feels that the weakness of the opera, even those of Verdi and Gounod, is that the opera has been too lacking in dramatic appeal. ; H9 seems to think that opera is dangerously on the decline. Speaking on the subject Wed nesday afternoon following his practice hour, he said that the effort . to rejuvenate the Metro politan opera company would meet with difficulty unless some thing were done to popularize opera again. Tibbett Is Popularizing " 'Popularizing' is the reason I'm on tour now," he said with a smile that was almost a grin. He was wearing the resemblance of a dressing gown, and his hair was tangled in a typical 'Rogue Song' fashion. His exuberant friendliness and ap parent desire to please put the (Continued on page two) Play Try-outs Today Sixty Roles Are Open to Inexperi enced Students in Plays.

"One of the most amazing facts about the southern states, to the initiate, is their hetero geneity," Carl Carmer, assistant editor of Theatre Arts Monthly, says in tne Feoruary issue 01 his magazine. 'The variety of bipods, of races, of religions, and customs to be found in the south, should provide material for the writer and the student of society for many years to come." And the importance of this material, according to Carmer, is what Professor Frederick H. Koch is instilling into the mem bers of his playwriting classes at the University of North Carolina. Commenting upon the recent ly issued fourth volume of Carolina Folk Plays "Carolina Folk Comedies," edited witli an introduction by Professor Koch, Carmer says : "These merry one-acts springing from the soil of the Carolinas are happy evi dence that the Carolina Play makers have lost none of their initial impetus." Carmer prophesies that some of the one act plays contained in this volume may, even as. some of Paul Green's early exercises in the one-act form, later de velop into important full-length works.
