Carmen Kicks Kiepura
Jan Kiepura, tenor, put so much power into his work during a dress rehearsal of "Carmen" at St. Louis (U.S.A.) recently that Marjorie Lawrence, Australian soprano, cast in the title role, accused him of choking her, and showed her resentment by kicking his shins, according to "Variety." The incident occurred during the last act, when Jose accuses Carmen of fickleness. Miss Lawrence said that Kiepura exceeded the bounds of propriety in demonstrating his wrath, and she not only used the sharp points of her slippers, but vocally expressed her resentment. Guiseppe Cavadore, baritone, who played the role of Remendado,: rushed to the infuriated players, and none too gently pushed Kiepura away before further trouble occurred. : The principals calmed down, and the rehearsals eerrens The public presentation on the follownight ran off without a hitch.
