Instead he remained for gener ous encores, and then came back on stage after his performance to give his signature to numerous young autograph seekers. The youthful Poleri aptly dem onstrated here that his Carmen walkout could not long deter his brilliant career in the music world. Anyone with a sincine voice such as his could not long be kept out of the public eye. And it appears the Carmen incident has added, rather than detracted, from his popularity. Poleri can handle the heavy roles with as much, if not more, ease than the lighter selection. Ho scrvg both with equal agility. While appearing a bit stiff in bodily sta ture, his clear singing voice ex hibited only case in each of his presentations. In his rendition of II mio tesoro (To My Beloved), aria froni Mozart's Don Giovan ni, often regarded as the supreme test of classic songs for tenors, his voice was unwavcred, but beautiful and melodious. He sang several of the world famous arias, including Le Rove (The Dream), from Massenet's "Manon," and Flower Song from Bizet's "Carmen," and other fa vorites, then concluded with two selections from "The Student Prince." He returned for several encores. His Pianist Byrl Neff, also, showed unusual ability, playing tnrcc selections ana an encore. nr-, -w.nmwilwmpW"WWM rm ..,,. ,.,.,... ...w-m, .mi., - -i","-- - -irrv , , ".' jj ) V.I V, .'..' 1 IW t. i irm I I I I If I I II 1'. m f I miKM'UMmRwmiaxxmmm&mmummi..i,ni i Rites For Polio Fatal Draw 200 The recent funeral-of Doris Ann White, 24, the popular Gardiner girl who became Douglas County's first 1954 infantile paralysis vic tim last week, was one of the big gest in Reedsport's history.
