Issued weekly during the Opera Season and fortnightly in the Spring and Fall by THE METROPOLITAN OPERA GUILD 654 MADISON AVENUE, NEW YORK, N. Y.

THIS WEEK: the cover drawing by Rita Stewart stresses the romantic drama inherent in Lucia di Lammermoor, a work of art roughly contemporary with Hugo's Notre-Dame de Paris, Dickens' Pickwick Papers and Part II of Goethe's Faust. The subject of dementia in opera is discussed by Mary Ellis Peitz, now Archivist of the Metropolitan Opera; Martin Radt sketches the early years of Donizetti. A sextet of famous Lucias are viewed from as many angles by Dr. Jacquelin, Major Alfonte and others. On page 14 OPERA NEWS salutes the 100th Guild Student Performance, which took place last week.
