Final arrangements for the production of Wagner’s 
‘‘Siegfried’’ at the Harvard Stadium on June 4th are 
now completed. This production will,be one of the 
most important of musical events. It will be the more 
welcome because no other place in the world could 
assemble such a cast as that which Mr. Kronberg will 
provide. At the Metropolitan Opera House ‘‘Siegfried’’ 
is given a production of exceptional excellence, but for 
the performance at the Stadium Mr. Kronberg will add 
to the Metropolitan forces Mme. Schumann-Heink and 
Mme. Alma Gluck. The Metropolitan Opera Orchestra 
will be augmented to 120, under the direction of the 
eminent Wagnerian conductor of the Metropolitan, Mr. 
Alfred Hertz, Special scenery will be built for the 
occasion. Careful tests have been made of the acous- 
ties at the Stadium with splendid results. Two sound- 
ing boards will be built, one at the back and front of 
the stage for the singers’ benefit, the other a hood will 
project over the orchestra and throw out the tone 
toward the audience. No expense has been spared to 
secure the greatest of the great singers available to 
interpret the work which Wagner himself considered 
one of his greatest inspirations.

As to the Far-Famed Essex Clam 
At the last meeting of the Essex 
County Associated Boards of Trade, 
of which the Beverly Board of 
Trade and the Gloucester Board 
of Trade are constituent members, 
the committee on fisheries presented 
a lengthy report upon the serious- 
ness of the clam situation in Essex 
county, particularly in Newbury- 
port, Essex and Ipswich. Extracts 
from this report were as follows: 
“Unless the clammers of Essex 
eounty, and particularly those north 
of Cape Ann, adopt more scientific 
methods in following their industry. 
they will find themselves displace:| 
from the high position they have 
held for the past 100 years by the 
Plymouth and Cape Cod clammers. 
This is brought out strongly in the 
recent report of Harold W. Nightin- 
gale, of the United States Bureau of 
Fisheries, who was sent here to in- 
vestigate the situation in the clam 
industry. 
‘‘For several years the clammers 
in the section mentioned have com- 
plained to the authorities that some 
mysterious disease was destroying 
the once fruitful clam beds. Accord- 
ing to the report of Mr. Nightingale, 
mentioned above, the poor quality 
and the searcity of the clams is not 
due to a disease, but from the fact 
that the flats have been dug for 100 
years without any attempt at replen- 
ishment, and, as is always the case 
with natural beds, they have _ be- 
come exhausted.”’

Mrs. Leslie Carter in ‘‘Zaza’’ 
Mrs. Leslie Carter, the Supreme 
American emotional artiste, and 
former star of ‘‘Du Barry,’’ ‘‘The 
Heart of Maryland,’’ ‘‘Adrea’’ and 
‘“Two Women,’’ will be the head- 
line attraction: at B. F.. Keith’s 
Theatre the week of March 15th. 
Mrs. Carter will appear in a tabloid 
version of her most famous success, 
‘‘Zaza’’ by David Belasco. It was 
in this great drama that Mrs. Carter 
became famous, and as adapted for 
vaudeville by her, ‘‘Zaza’’ has 
proved one of the greatest offerings 
of the kind ever staged. Mrs. Car- 
ter has surrounded herself with a 
superb company, including Hamil- 
ton Revelle, the distinguished Eng- 
lish actor, as ‘‘Bernard Dufrene,’’ 
and William Lorenz as ‘‘Cascart.’’ 
Her engagement is positively limit- 
ed to one week only.
