Abroad

In Vienna, Soprano Maria Olszewska --she who, annoyed by Maria Jeritza's loud interruptions at a performance of Die Walkuere, assailed the latter with a shot of saliva and was forthwith dismissed from the Vienna Staatsoper (TIME, May 25)--last week was reinstated. Offered part of her back pay, she accepted it but announced that, rather than use any of the management's "dirty" money for herself, she would give it to charity.

In Stockholm, relatives, admirers, supporters, gathered at a pier to welcome the Stockholm University male chorus, home after a month's "triumphal" tour of the U. S. Einar Ralf, director, waved his hat.

In Brussels, there was a bustle after the departure for the U. S. of Soprano Elizabeth Day, who recently sang songs in various languages--first in French, then in Italian, English, Spanish, Hebrew and finally, for the first time since the War, in German. This daring feat was received with applause.
