Items have been .. culled from The Chronicle's archives of 25, 50, 75 and 100 years ago. 1983 SEPT. 23: A new system of projecting English "supertitles" will be introduced by the San Francisco Opera for its October student, senior citizen and family matinee performances of Verdi's "La Tra- - viata." The translation, in letters about a foot tall, will beprojected on a screen hanging just above the top border over the stage. A spokesman for the San Francisco Opera said the use of supertitles is an experiment and there are no plans to use them during the regular subscription season. I. 1958 SEPT. 21: Dave Brubeck turned down $17,000 in round-trip transportation and performance fees for his quartet for a proposed South African tour in January. "They told us we couldn't take our bass player, so the deal was off," Brubeck said. Bassist Gene Wright, who is rejoining the group in time for the Monterey Jazz Festival in October, is black. A letter received from the Johannesfig promoter said: "It is abso- 1uteImpossible for (Wright) to come to South Africa.

To all of this Cahill 'esponded frostily: "I have a sworn )bligation to the people Of San 7rancisco to protect them." CELS TOUR: RACISM Dave Bruheck would not go on a 1958 tour of South Africa without bassist Gene Wright. SEPT. 23: Prospective liquor dealers have been warned by Fred E. Stewart, member of the Equalization Board, who called attention to the fact that with the repeal of federal Prohibition, California's new State liquor regulation act becomes effective. The act prohibits public saloons, bars or drinking places where intoxicating liquors are kept or sold or consumed. "Any responsible person of good moral character is entitled to a license for the off-sale of hard liquor," Stewart stated. "But hard liquor cannot be sold for consumption on the premises under any circumstances." throughout the country for that flag to be flown at any celebration attended by officials of the German government, even in Washington. San Francisco cannot afford to insult the consul and the country he represents." Hayden replied that there has been marked feeling throughout the city against the display of the Hitler flag. The mayor's office has received numerous letters threatening action against the city if the auditorium is loaned for a celebration where the flag is displayed.. 1908 SEPT. 24: Squirrel saute is soon to be a thing of the past if an ordinance recommended .by the Board of Health and the Hospital and Health Committee of the Board of Supervisors is adopted. The proposed ordinance makes it a misdemeanor to sell ground squirrels in San Francisco. Health authorities contend that the squirrels are infected with disease, which in some cases has been transmitted to people, causing death in several instances. In practically the entire farming section of the state the ground squirrel is regarded as a pest, owing to the damage it does to crops. Farmers have welcomed market hunters in their pursuit of the squirrels, and millions of the little animals have been sold in cities around the bay, sometimes being served under their own name, but frequei1y they furnish the meat for rabbit or other game pies. If the proposed ordinance is adopted, the hunters will have to abandon their calling.
