Music Lecture To be Given by Sigmund Spaeth Campus to Hear Author Of Clever Anthology Next Tuesday By BARBARA BLYTHE Have you read “Read ’em and Weep,” by Sigmund Spaeth, and one of the late best sellers? If you have, you will surely want to hear Dr. Spaeth when he comes to the campus next Tuesday, May 10, as the last speaker on the student lec ture series for this year. o Dr. Spaeth’s book has fulfilled the demand that has been circulated for more and more of the old songs and ballads that used to throw the coun try into convulsions of sentimental harmony. Dozens of the old favor ites that would otherwise have been lost forever are presented in the book. But “Read ’em and Weep” is more than just an anthology of songs. Words and music are pre sented but more than that, each song is accompanied by an enter taining history of its author, its time, and the actors or actresses who made it famous, as well as a Jnultitude of the keen, mirthful footnotes for which Dr. Spaeth is famous. Sigmund Spaeth is a favorite chairman at smokers and musical parties of all kinds in New York. He was a successful song leader during the war and for the last few years has been in demand through out the United States as a platform speaker. Among the various subjects on which Spaeth lectures, all of which have a definite personal interest, are: “The Common Sense of Music,” which explains how to remove pain lessly the inferiority complex of the average listener; “America’s New Folk Music,” which answers the question, “What shall we do with our Jazz?’^- and “Exposing the Close Harmony Gang,” explaining why unregulated mankind breaks into song practically without en couragement.
