This opera has seldom been performed in this country. The first recorded performance was at Brooklyn in 1860, in Italian, under the title "Belmonte and Constanze". Two years later there was a performance in German at the German Opera House in New York...
...Council of the League of Nations sat-for the 49th time-at Geneva, last week. Seldom have Great Powers been more thoroughly flouted by Minor Nations than during the proceedings which ensued. The Powers were represented, of course, by the Big Five: 1) Sir Austen Chamberlain (Britain), supercilious to correspondents but ready with a queer, cackling laugh for his colleagues; 2) Monsieur Aristide Briand (France), tousled and heavy eyed as a tomcat at dawn; 3) Dr. Gustav Stresemann (Germany), plump, bald, rubicund, and yet with a trig, indefinable air of smartness; 4)Signor Vittorio Scialoja (Italy), representing with compact, bustling...

Political epithets, accustomed as they are to being taken with a counter-epithet or with a laugh, seldom provoke a libel suit. When a senator or a mayor calls a man a stool pigeon, a snooper, a boodler, a buffoon, a scoundrel, a scalawag or a person weaned on a pickle, he apparently considers himself safe from libel proceedings. And, in legislative chambers, he is. But in a mayor's chair...
