TO SAVE BRITISH OPERA. j LONDON. March 12. Sir Thomas Beechnm, the composer and opera promoter, Iras repented, and lie is not now going to America. On the contrary, he is going to make 'a last effort to save English opera. “I've a staggering scheme,” he says. “Whether it will lx 1 a grand finale, or a grand fizzle, I do not know, hut I am optimistic. I know we are a nation of noodles, hut I’ve still an idea up my sleeve. If it does not succeed, nothing will. It will embrace everything concerning music, except broadcasting, it will he a national enterprise, ninetenths British, of which opera will be the main plank. There are British people all over the world, because it is not worth their while remaining in England. Anyhow, despite my losses, I m going to see once more whether there is any hope for British music.”
