Matrini has, in addition to his vocal endowments, by no means extraordinary (the deceptiveness of the this respect ious), radiouth, an agreeably slender figure and poise if not originality as an actor. His debut at the Metropolitan last week failed. to create the hoped-for sensation, which again did not materialize last night; his efforts were, however, rewarded with cordial demonstrations. Two other debutantes the cast were Lillian Clark, in the insignificant role of the countess in the first act, and Virgilio Lazzari, a bass, whose Sparafucile suggested the servicable nature of his gifts. Indisputably, the one artist in the cast Mr.

De Luca, whose Rigoletto as cunningly charwas acterized and sung as allied intelligence and experience could contrive. Mr. De Luca is singing actor of the old school, but his performances exemplify the merits rather than the defects of his training, and one is sure of satisfaction when he is on the stage.

The list included the Brahms First Symphony in minor, five movements of the Prokofieff Suite from "The Love of Three Oranges," Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin," and Enesco's Romanian Rhapsody No. 1 in A major. Mr. Ormandy's interpretation of the Brahms First, while not departing from established tradition, was notable for its consistently high level of excellence and the genuine emotion with which he infused each movement of this work of genius, from the impressive opening measures to the mighty finale so reminiscent of Beethoven's Ninth.

In the performance of the suite from "The Love of Three Oranges" Mr. Ormandy omitted the sixth movement of the original arrangement. and reversed the order of the third. fourth and fifth movements. The musicians played the piece with dazzling brilliancy and with enchanting lyricism in the passage devoted to the song of the Prince and the Princess.

ADVERTISEMENT Stubborn Coughs Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home Big Saving! No Cooking! So Easy! Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up stubborn coughs. It takes but a moment to prepare, and costs very little, but it positively has no equal for quick, lasting relief.

From any druggist, get ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with granulated sugar syrup, made with 2 cups of sugar and one cup of water, stirred 8 few moments until dissolved. No cooking neededit's so easy! Thus make a full pint of better remedy than you could buy ready-made, and you get four times as much for your money. It never spoils and children love its taste. This simple mixture soothes and heals the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease.

It loosens the germ-laden phlegm and eases chest soreness in a way that is really astonishing. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway Pine, the most reliable healing agent for severe coughs. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded. Former Sees Opportunity for -Latter Seeks Federal Funds Promising a new, far-sighted policy of housing and slum clearance throughout the State and particularly in New York City, both Governor Lehman and Langdon W. Post, City Tenement House Commissioner, pledged themselves and their administrations to the expediting of this work in speeches delivered last night.

The Governor spoke over the radio from the Executive Mansion in Albany and Mr. Post made his ises before a public meeting of the National Public Housing Conference at Town Hall. Lehman Sees Opportunity Governor Lehman asserted that since private capital and enterprise have failed to improve living conditions among the poorer classes, the opportunity is now afforded the government to take over the work. He expressed "trust" that during the coming legislative session "this important legislation will not fail to be adopted in both houses of the Legislature." Seeks Federal Funds Speaking of his department Mr. Post stated that his first move will be to "get rid of the word 'tenement' and make it a Housing Department, bringing within its scope all the functions which that word indicates.

At present it amounts to nothing more than an inspection a service." He argued that if "the State can spend millions on parks and highways, the Federal Government can same for housing," and pledged himself to see that as much money as possible and reasonable be secured for improving the city's living conditions.
