THE cusnoim. cnaatorrirrown

Two Can Sing

by James M. Cain

They were all there. Cecil and the rest. all dressed, all walking around, vocalizing under their breaths. Cecil was in black. with a little shawl, and looked pretty. Just as I got down. the chorus cama swarming in from some- where. They werenit in the first act. but Roast lined them up and began checking them over. I went on the set and put the hat and muffler where she told me. The tenor came and put his hat beside mine. The basses came and moved both hats to make more room on the table. There had to be places for their stuff when they came in. later. I went to the bulletin board and read the calls. We were all in the first two of the firat act- Cecil, the unor, the two basses, the comic, and myself-then for the other calls it was only Cecil and the tenor. On the calls for the other acts I was in most of them, but I did what she said. read them over and remembered how they went.

I hurried out on the set and sat down behind the easel. I had al- ready made sure that. the paint- brush was in place. The tenor came on and took his place by the window. His name was Parma. From the other side of the cur- tain there came a big burst of handclapping. Parma n o d d e d. "Mario's in. Sound like nice 'ouse."

From where you sat out front, I suppose that twenty seconds be- tween the time Mario got to his stand and made his bow and waited till a late coupl got down the aisle, and the th time he brought down his stick on his

strings, was just twenty seconds,

and nothing more. To me it was the longest wait I ever had in my life. I thought nothing would ever Ihappen. And then, all of a. sud- ,dcu. it broke loose.

i When the orchestra sounded off, lit was terrific. the most frighten- .ing thing I ever heard in my life. 'And it no sooner started than the curtain went up, except that I never saw it go up. All I saw was that blaze of .footlights in my eyes; I was an rattled I didn't

warned me about it a. hundred times, but you can't. warn any- body about a thing like that. Light was hitting me from every- where, and then I saw Marlo out there, but he looked about a mile away. and my heart Just stopped beating.

My heart stopped, but that or- chestra didn't. It ripped through that introduction a. mile a minute, and I knew then what Roast had been trying to get through my head about speed. There's a page and a. half of introduction in the score, and that looks like plenty of music. doesn't it? They ate it up in nothing flat, and next thing I knew they were through with it and it was time for me to sing. Oh, yes, I was the lad who had to open the opera. Me, the four- flusher who was so scared he couldn't even breathe.

But. they had thought about that. Mario found him up there, and that stick came down on me, and it meant, get going. I began to sing the phrase that begins "Queato Mar Rosso”. but I swear I had no more to do with it than a rabbit looking at a snake. That stick told my mouth what to do, and it did it, that was all. Oh, yes, on operatic conductor knows buck fever when he aces ft, and he knows what to do about it.

There was some more, stufI in the orchestra, and I sang the inexi. two phrases, where he says ltliat to get even with the picture for looking so cold. he'll drown a lPluu-aoh. The picture is supposed to be the passage of the Red sea. ,But I was to take the brush and iaclunlly drown one. and it was a second or two before I remember- 'ecl about it. when I actually did ll must have looked funny, be- cause there was a big laugh. I was so .i'ai.tlcd I looked around to .see what they were laughing at. and in that second I took my eye lot! Mario. It was the place where I was supposed to shoot 9. ”Che fat?" at the tenor. And while I was off picking daisies. did that conductor wait? He did not. Next thing I knew the orchestra was roaring again. and I had missed the boat. Pm-ma sang the first part of his "Net cielo bigi" at the window, then as he finished it he crossed in front of me. and it was murderous the way he shot it at

me as he went by: "watch as conductor!" I watched "da conductor." I

glued my eyes on him from then on. and didn't miss any more cues. and by the help of hypnot- iam. prayer, and the rest of them shoving me around. we got through it somehow. What I never got caught up with was the speed. You see, when you learn those roles and then coach them with a. piano. you always think of them as a series of little separate scenes, and you take a little rest after each one. But. it's not like that at a performance. It goes right. through, and it's' cruel the way it sweeps you along.

I remembered the hat and the muffler, and. when I came off. Cecil was back there, smoking a cigarette. ready to go on. "You're doing all right. sing to them, not to Mario," she said.

She rapped at the door, sang I note or two, put her heel on the cigarette, and went on.

We had a little of!-stage stuff coming. I and the two basses. and we atood in the wings listening to then: out there doing their stuff. I found out something about an

Racketeer Frank Costello Sentenced

NEW YORK, April 12-(CP)- Racketeer Prank Costello was aentencedhieeday toll! months and his first prison term since he was a youth of 24.

The 01-year-old underworld big shot drew imprisonment for twice walking out on the senate! crinie committee here a. year ago.

He also was fined 86,000 for contempt. of the senate for re- fusing to answer committee ques- tions about his finances and polit- ical contacts. He could have gotten to years and a 010.000 fine. Costeuo, often labelled "The prime minister of the under- world," folded his arms as news- paper man asked him if he had anything to say.

"No comment." he replied.

His lawyer said the sentence will be appeal d.

Judge Bylves r J. Ryan. who sentenced Costello, refused to grant him bail. But the Federal Appeals Court freed him on 85,- 000 ball, at least until Thursday. He then will have a chance to seek continued bail until his ap- peal is processed.
