Still, that’s the kind of attention Hana Fiserova gets. She’s 29, vivacious and pretty—but the secret of her power is in her work. Miss Fiserova lives in Prague and is the only woman conduct- or of symphony in opera in Czechcslovakia—perhaps in all Europe. For six years now shd has conducted her orchestra and mever has she used a woman instrumentalist in the group. Presently, Miss Fiserova will enter a contest, competing with thirty or forty men to see who is What governments wish publish- the- best conductor in her home- land.

The music was presented in the garden of the 17th century Waldstein Palace in Pragu. Thirty-five men of the Prague radio orchestra responded to her baton. On the podium, Miss Fiserova looked like 4 school teacher with extraordinarily obe- dient pupils. She was wearing glasses and had on a long-skirted black suit with a white tie. Her attire varies. In another interview, she was bright and smiling in a smart rose crepe print with a straw hat decked with flowers. Miss Fiserova was born in Pra- gue, the only child of unmusical parents. Her father is an army major now retired. Perhaps her leaning toward music came from jher uncle, Anton Fischer. He con- ducted the Moscow Imperial opera from 1900 to 1914 and toured both Sweden and the United States. Miss Fiserova started piano les- sons when she was five, was a pianoforte teacher at 18 when she started studying conducting. She made her debut as a conducter at 23—and then too her musical of- fering was by Smetana. It was the opera, “The Bartred Bride.” Most persons respond to music of some kind so it’s fortunate compositions vary enough to meet defenite desires. This is borne out [Fhe battle in veteran hospitals. The battle gun which mows down a@ number of soldiers can bring together infinite variations in background and taste. Efforts are made to level off inconsistencies of this kind. One method is to have prominent stars entertain the wounded. Such a {show was put on recently by a dozen stage, screen and radio per- sonalities. It was repeated sev- eral times to mark the fourth year of their regular concerts for 106,000 hospitalized veterans in 142 veterans administration hos- pital throughout the country. Jean Tennyson is national chair- man of the artists’ veterans hos- pital programs. She applauds the cooperation of miany artists who They include Mary Martin, Al- bert Spalding, Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein, Hazel Scott and organizations like the Yale Glee club and the U.S. Navy band. Ambulatory patients hear the music in auditoriums.. Bedded pa- | tients get the program by a pub- lic address system but these fel- lows too get a look at the stars who go through the wards later. The celebrated Chicago opera star, Mary Garden, gave veterans the time of their life once. She got into a game of billiards at a hospital and while she lustily worked her cue, she cheered the boys with a full program of arias.
