“PEOPLE S ARTIST”
CHALIAPINE'S EMPTY HONOUR. SOVIET ARTISTS DEMAND CANCELLATION. London, June 15. The Times Riga correspondent states that the executive of the Bolshevist Artists Trade Union has requested the Commissary of Education to deprive Fedor Inanovitch Chaliapine, singer, of the title of People’s Artist, conferred on him during the early stages of the Revolution, because he contributed five thousand francs to the support of unemployed Russian exiles in Paris. The executive says that Chaliapine must now be regarded as standing on the other side of the barricade, therefore they must tear from him the high title of People’s Artist.—Times. DEPRIVED OF RUSSIAN NATIONALITY. (Rec. 7.5 p.m.) Berlin, May 15. A message from Moscow says that ChaLapine has been deprived of Russian nationality on the ground that he aided refugees. —A. and N.Z.
