METROPOLITAN STAR CAPTIVATES LARGE BISMARCK AUDIENCE Norwegian Prima Donna's Con- cert Adds to List of Artist Series Triumphs Mme. Eide Norena, Norwegian pri- ma donna of the Metropolitan Opera company, completely captivated the large audience of music lovers assem- bled at the Bismarck City Auditorium Monday evening. Her concert was the second in the 1935 Singers Guild Artist Series and was the best attend- ed of any of the programs which were Opened here last year by Miss Maude A. Tollefsen. With the concert fol- Jowed by a reception in the singer's honor given by the Women’s Com- munity Council, the evening was one of the most brilliant in Bismarck s0- ciety for some time. The Norena voice, which has won the acclaim of her native Norway and has been heard in more than 30 oper- atic roles in Europe, Chicago and New York, was at its best as she opened her varied and interseting with the Handel “Care Selve.” The great beauty of tone which she can Produce in a single note was here ap- parent. ‘The diva’s projection is consistently accurate, never strident and has all the best qualities to which the soprano voice is heir. Her singing is marked by a restraint that only the great achieve because she has true mu- sicianship and the confidence which comes only to those endowed with re- markable natural gifts. The ease of her singing and the purity of tone, even in the spectacular Grand Air from Verdi's “La Traviata” calling for full operatic bravura style, are the most striking characteristics of this singer. Voice Has Wide Range Her voice embracing as it does coloratura, dramatic and lyric so- Prano, the charm and warmth-of her Personality and the dramatic feeling with which she imbues her interpre- tations made Mme. Norena’s appear- ance in the Capital City a memorable occasion. The “Care Selve” was followed by the delicate Donaudy “Spirate Pur, Spirate” and two infrequently heard Chopin songs, “Aria de Pamina” and “Air de Blondine.” Profuse applause following the “La Traviata” air brought the first encore of which there were several to a Te the generous program. juded_ in encores were “Solweig’s Song” and “Hytten” by Grieg and Sinding’s “Syvelin,” the only English offering of the evening. Three German lieder, the well loved “Du bist die Ruh,” fohin” and “Ungeduld” of Schubert, “Oh! Grand Je Dors” of Liszt with the beautifully sustained notes at the close, and the Debussy “Fantoches” were in the grouping. Rafael de Mertis at the piano lent ‘at all times an intelligent, balanced and self-effacing accompaniment in his collaboration with the artist. He group taking in “Bal- in G-Minor,” “Mazurka in A- sponded with a Grieg wor! Norwegian Songs Spontaneous To select favorites from such an outstanding program is difficult, fa- voritism generally depending upon in- dividual taste, but for many the Nor- wegian songs must have been a rare Pleasure. There was ® spontaneity in Mme. Norena’s rendition of these four, the Agathe Backer-Grondah! “Mot Kvell” and “Klovereng,” Grieg’s “Det forste Mote” and Thrane’s “Nor- wegian Echo Song.” Two encores were necessary to satisfy the audience at the close. Following the concert, the Wom- en's Community Council entertained ‘at a reception for Mme. Norena, de Mertis.and officers of the North Da- kota Federation of Women’s clubs now in the city, at a reception at the Pat- !

Steel King Deplores Cash Bonus Demands The resolution calls attention to the fact that the fort now is over- crowded and that many officers are forced to live in town with detri- ment to their work and at consider- able extra cost to themselves. It asserts that sound national de- fense, as it pertains to North Da- kota, makes it advisable to maintain Fort Lincoln at a high standard of efficiency and that the additional buildings are necessary for this pur- Pose. In his letter to Legion post com- manders throughout the state, Rue .|called attention to the fact that the Fort Lincoln improvement is a feds eral project and, as such, will not take funds away from any other county interested in public works, since it will be charged to Burleigh county.
