And it now seems probable that the mid-winter visit of the organization directed by Cleofonte Campanini will be continued indefinitely. For there is a five years' contract, with the privilege of extension, which may lead eventually to a ten weeks' season at the Lexington, instead of the four weeks of last winter and the coming one. Meanwhile, in the season which is to open at the Lexington on the twenty-seventh of January. not a little of the fresh interest will center in the appearance of Galli-Curci in two more operas of the old school. These are "Linda di Chamounix" by Donizetti and "Crispino la Comarc" by the Brothers -both associated with Adelina Patti in her prime.

Whether Galli-Curci will close with "Home Sweet Home," as Patti used to do, is "Linda" not stated. Other promised productions of familiar works are Bellini's "Norma" for Raisa, Verdi's "Otello" for Muratore, Puccini's "Tosca" for Garden and the "Samson et Dalila" of for Lazzari. It is hoped to revive also Rossini's "Guillaume Tell" and Verdi's "Falstaff." Miss Kathryn Diamond Engaged to Mr. Kearney. Mr.
