NELSON EDDY GIVES PROGRAM OF SONGS ON ARTIST SERIES American Baritone Thrills Capi- tal City Music-Lovers With Splendid Program Nelson Eddy, young American bart- tone, sang to a large audience as- sembled at Bismarck city auditorium Friday evening and was accorded the heartiest ovation given to any artist appearing in the capital city this sea- son. Eddy was brought to Bismarck by the Singers’ Guild Artist Series spon- sored by Miss Maude A. Tollefsen and his concert Friday evening was his first appearance in North Dakota. The Artist Series opened Feb. 3 with the Paris Instrumental Quintet con- cert and will close March 3 with a recital by Poldi Mildner, girl pianist from Vienna. “Good Fellows, Be Merry!”, a jo- vial air by Johann Sebastian Bach, was the first number of Eddy’s pro- gram. It brought a rousing response and he sang as an encore Handel's “Ombra Mai Fu,” known as “The Largo.” ”“ Eddy was established and a storm of applause swept the house when he came back to continue the pro- gram with Hugo Wolf's “Biterolf,” Robert Schumann's “Fruhlingsnacht,” Adolf Jensen's “Am Ufer des Flusses, des Mandanares,” and the “Lied an meinen Sohn” of Richard Strauss. Eddy’s character delineation of Bit- erolf, in the Camp of Akkon, 1190, left nothing wanting. It was full of the brooding, depression and fortitude of the hero. The interpretation tran- ecended the foreign language medium. Proves Range of Ability There was breath-taking contrast as Eddy sang the delicately lyrical Schumann and the whimsical Jensen numbers. Eddy’s smooth legato was marked in the “Fruhlingsnacht.” His impulse to end the “Am Ufer des Flusses” with a few whistled bars may have no serious reason and no tradi- tional background but it was a happy note. Eddy’s easy and humorous in- terpretation of that song, though in a foreign language, kept the audience emiling. “Lied an meinen Sohn” showed the tremendous vocal range of the artist and he amazingly held the last note through many bars of postlude, ap- parently with breath to spare. In the whole rendition he had reserve power at his command. If Eddy was taxed by his program, he gave no iridication when he re- sponded with two encores, “The Rat Catcher” by Hugo Wolf and “The Song of the Flea” by Moussourgsky. Both were projected with delightful dramatic and humorous interpreta- lon. Theodore Paxson, the accompanist, was greeted with an enthusiastic out- burst of applause when he appeared for a group of piano solos—Handel’s “Chaconne,” the J. 8. Bach-Myra Hess “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring” and Scariatti’s “Capriccio in E Major.” He was forced to return for two en- cores. Makes Audience Marvel Eddy's dramatic ability again was at its height in Rossini’s “Largo al factotum!” from “The Barber of Se- ville.” In the encore, “Lord High Chancellor's Nightmare” from “Io- lanthe” by Gilbert-Sullivan, Eddy dis- played such breath control and such Perfect diction through the long sus- tained mirthful passages that there was a@ stir of wondering “How can he do it?” ih The concluding grouping of “My Sword for the King” by Michael Head, “Journey's End” by Sydney King Rus- sell, “A Winter Afternoon” by Kath- leen Lockhart Manning and “Seren- ade” by John Alden Carpenter won a deep response and was followed by four encores—“Song to the Evening Star” from Wagner's “Tannhauser,” “Tally Ho" by Leoni, “Song of the Volga Boatman” sung in Russian and “Smilin’ Thru.” The polish, poise and technical per- fection of this artist, the ease with which he sings and his flawless inter- pretation and clear diction mark him 48 a musician of the first water. Paxson's accompaniments, played entirely from memory, provided a background of intelligent musician- ship which assisted Eddy’s readings in no small measure. An artist of virtuoso rank himself, he plays &® sympathetic accompaniment. In handling: the delicacy of the Jensen number and the driving force of the tempest in the Strauss “Lied” his command of his instrument was par- ticularly noteworthy. to several members of the audience in an informal reception held back- stage after the concert with Miss Tol- lefsen and Myron H. Anderson assist- ing in receiving. In the Transvaal of South Africa, lightning is deadlier than anywhere else in the world, but scientists have found no reason for it.

Irving Glover, assistant Postmaster general under President Hoover, relating to an airmail award, and saying “we had better stick to- ayher or we'll all hang together,” was read to the senate airmail in- vestigating committee Saturday. The letter, addressed to Chase Gove, former official of the postoffice department, was offered by Carl Crowley, postoffice solicitor, after Senator Austin (Rep., Vt.) demanded Anderson sald. In view of the fact that S and L stores are located in widely diversified districts in the northwest the report was significant, he betleves, Among the speakers were Mr. De- wild of the National Merchants Asso- ciation and Mr. Hutchinson of the National Cash Register coinpany, both of whom reported a decided up- turn in retail business generally. The convention was held in the Andrews hotel and was concluded by a ban- quet attended by 56 executives and their families.

Registering the unemployed in North Dakota is an “on again, off again” proposition and one of as unemployed. ‘This is the experience of the state re-employment office set up by the ed to continue in operation after the CWA goes out of existence in order to supply men for the PWA projects which are expected to open up with the coming of warm weather. Workers in the re-employment of- fice will tell you privately that some folks registered for employment who could hardly be considered in this class. For example, on November 18, when registering unemployed for some time, the number listed as needing jobs was approximately 18,000. But on that date Governor William Langer made his now famous speech promising a good job for everyone as a bit of personal largesse from him. Tt was a case of “Barkus is willing” with a lot of folks who had not theretofore considered themselves as entirely jobless or in need. By De- cember 30 the cian ahaa reached the staggering total of 72.334. ‘Were They Surprised? The government was surprised. In an initial survey it had been estimat- ed that unemployment in this state would total about 30,000. A figure more than twice that was disturbing. Investigation, however, showed that some had registered who were never intendéd to be beneficiarics of the! government program. These were persons, largely farmers, who were not in dire need either of clothes, food, shelter or a job. They had ac- cepted the governor's invitation’ as a matter of right rather than as one of get any relief or CWA employment because they could not meet the con- ditions prescribed as a pre-requisite to employment. local managers and relief organiza: ‘The United Mine Workers of Amer- Sst Bandits Net $5,000 In Payroll Robbery , Melcher, ta.
