SHERMAN. RUSA tne distinguished dramatic soprano of the Metropolitan Opera gav a recital last night at the Municipal Auditorium. She appeared after a rather embarrassing delay caused by fiscal disagreements with the local management as the fourth attraction in the concert series be ing offered by Oscar Condon. After using her opening number as a set of limbering up exercises, Miss Ponselle proceeded to dazzle her audience with what ia undoubtedly one of the great voices of the twentieth century. It had an unabated freshness, depth, flexibility, power, a consistent quality throughout its entire range, and it was displayed with a wealth of emotional urgency.

Miss Ponselle obviously believed in giving until it hurt. Added to this was an exuberant Mediterranean beauty, which created an immediate predisposition in her favor, and a capacity for the most exacting and the most precise sort of interpretation. The word capacity 5s used advisedly for Miss Ponselle's stylistic possibilities were not consistently realized. She did not give her audience credit for much imagination either in the building of her program or in the way she pointed up her songs. But although she was capable of destroying the effectiveness of Schubert's "Erl Koe-nig" by underscoring the already obvious, Bhe quickly proved that it was not due to any lack of comprehension by singing de Fon-tenailles "A L'Aime" with gravity and restraint.

"Marietta's Lied" from Eric Korngold's opera, "Die Tote was also delivered with discrimination and at th same time with no lack of the necessary dramatic emphasis. Beyond the three numbers mentioned, her program ranged all the way from the innocuous to the faintly objectionable, unleas one excepts, the "Habanera" from Carmen which she sang as one of her numerous encores. Even so, it could scarcely be called a wasted evening. In the presence of such opulent gifts, no normal person could remain unmoved. OLD RADIO New 1935 Mrs.

Equally important, the crushing aftermath of war-paying for it will have been very much lightened. In the World War it took us a year to get our industry converted to war uses. Right up to the Armistice, it was not working at full efficiency.

We suffered such run-away prices that the war cost us twice as much as it would have cost with a controlled price struc ture. In other words, we would have been helpless for a year against any enemy who could have attacked at once in mass, and the blood of our resistance money was ebbing away twice as fast as was necessary. At that, we did better in rapidity and efficiency of mobilization, and in price control, than any other belligerent. The war cost the others about three times as much as it would have cost if they had put a ceiling on prices, and they were slower in converting their industries to war uses. It is a fact that the Allies were licked on the financial front, as well as on the industrial front, when we came in to save them.

The rise in war prices saddled them with debts so great that many of them were repudiated. We learned more about industrial and price control than they ever suspected. The Nye Committee will see this if it digs deep enough. If the Congress enacts a bill applying our lessons in the World War, it will have done much to render us impregnable to attack, and hence immune from war. (Copyright.

"If this democracy is to continue in America," he said, "there is nothing more important than freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

If we're going to have Communism, it will result from this suppression. "Our greatest danger is from reactionary private interests concealing the truth from the people and giving demagogues a chance to distort it." George Earle is the one asset Roosevelt has in Pennsylvania. It will take many more of him if the New Deal is to repeat its record of 1934 and again capture this rock-ribbed home of Republicanism for the Democratic party. (Copyright. 1935.)

AFTER 187 years as an English classic, Henry Fielding's rambling novel, "Tom Jones," came to the stage of the Little Theater last night as a three-act, 12-scene drama which the producing organization won in a prize contest last year. Whatever might be Fielding's complaints today, the author of the adaptation, a young actor named Robert Wallsten, can hold no grudge against the Little Theater. "Tom Jones" has received a handsome performance, one in which the dramatic group has overcome nearly all its obstacles except those offered by the play itself. The play, it must be said, is quite coherent, follows the novel in move ment and dialogue and gives indica tion of some impression of the char acters as they appear to the reader of the original work. Yet it lacks both the mature humor so characteristic of Fielding and the neces sary improvisation to go beyond mere eigmeentn century por traiture.

The amusement the playwright offers his audience is chiefly that of hearing Tom's illegitimacy and the traditional association of the sexes described in boldest English, and repeatedly. Last night's audience, made up of the Players Club, found its own fun, however, in hissing the villain and applauding the hero. OBERT TIEMAN has the role of the foundling Tom who takes something over two hours to prove his right to a good name and the love of the beautiful Sophia, daughter of Squire Western. Tie-man, an experienced and sincere Little Theater actor, found himself at a disadvantage in a role that made him frequently ridiculous, yet proved himself sportsman as well as actor. Blair Boyle made a particularly radiant and gracious heroine of Sophia, her first part with the Union boulevard company.

Gordon Sommers as Squire Western, Catherine Wade as Miss Western, Bert Igou as John Blifil and a half dozen minor actors were genuine. Stage settings, by Gordon Carter, remain the Little Theater's chief excellence. Such a statement is not made to belittle the production generally which, as said earlier, is quite adequate, but merely to afford proper compliment to work such as is seldom found on the dice-size stage which Carter has to work with. The 10 separate sets are colorful, in good taste and always sufficient to the action going on in front of them. "Tom Jones" will be presented again tonight and tomorrow night.

Through April, it will share a repertory schedule with "Her Master Voice," a comedy which receives first performance next Wednesday night. MANY APPLY FOR APARTMENTS IN NEIGHBORHOOD GARDENS J. A. Wolfe Says Requests Almost Equal Number of Homes to Be Provided. About as many families as can be accommodated in the new Neighborhood Gardens, housing development at Seventh and Biddle streets, have applied for apartments in the building, which will be ready for occupancy the coming summer.

There are apartments for 252 families, and J. A. Wolf, manager of the Gardens and director of Neighborhood Association, has had nearly that many applications. Telling of the progress of the project at a Sandwich Forum luncheon at the Y. M.

C. A. yesterday, Wolf said he was having forms of leases drawn up in English, Italian and Polish. He anticipates that families of foreign extraction will be in the majority among the tenants. The 3-room, 4-room and 5-room apartments will rent from $19 to $33 a month, including gas for cooking.
