MI MI MI • • • UOMusic Teacher Tells of Opera Life By JOHN WILLIAMS If you like to study personali ties and enjoy learning interest ing autobiographies without reading them from a book, have a little talk some day with Mad ame McGrew. Madame McGrew has been teaching at the University for twenty-odd years, and the half of her that is Irish is ever ready to laugh at a joke. She has many, for she has sung in opera and concert in the United States and most of Europe. ‘‘I went to Europe when I was 16,” she said in a reminiscent tone. ‘‘I was a slender red-headed little thing and temperamental as anything. Som (imes during a rehearsal I would lie on the stage and scream and kick my feet and raise an awful fuss.” “Takes Courage” . That takes courage in any man’s language—to go off to a totally strange country when just 16 and a girl, to sing in op era. But it was the thing she loved; you could tell that as you watched her eyes sparkle and heard the joy in her voice as she continued her story. It seems that there was a certain conduc tor in Germany where the mad ame once sang. "He could play a Beethoven sonata, read the morning paper, and carry on a conversation at the same time. There wasn’t any thing he couldn’t play on the pi ano. One day, unnoticed, I set some American jazz before him. He tried and tried, and couldn’t play it. Finally he blew up. ‘No one but McGrew could have done this,’ he said.’’ She has seen many singers come and go. It must surely be hard for her to help her strug gling pupils while the fire and inspiration of performing for an audience and the call of the stage are still strong in her. But she is entirely conscientious, and knows exactly what she) is doing. One of her finest qualities is that she is still young in her mind. She understands the hopes, fears, am bitions, and emotions of her stu dents because the memories of her own youth are so fresh in her thoughts. Likes Boys, Girls "When I see you boys and girls so happy together,” she said, "it reminds me of my own youth^ when we were in Europe.” This is what makes the ma dame the personality that she is; 'Heavy' Film Shots Tickle Webfoots Extremely funny, although or- : iginally planned as deepest trag edy, the six rejuvenated films shown University students Tues day in 207 Chapman comprise the first chapter in the “Short Survey of the Film in America.” Five other sections will be shown during spring term. The first film projected on a screen, “The Execution of Mary | Queen of Scots,” consisted of the | 50-second decapitation of an un- | known actress, was followed in , sequence by “Wash Day Trou-« bles,” “A Trip to the Moon,” “The Great Train Robbery,” “Faust,” and “Queen Elizabeth” starring the immortal Sarah Bernhardt. “Faust” was spectacular in that it featured the first color in film —carefully hand painted. A special “March of Time” ^ short was included in the pro gram and outlined the functions of the Museum of Modern Art, located in New York City, which has collected and rephotographed the old films in the “survey” schedule. The entire program of movie re-runs will be free to Univer sity students on activities cards. this understanding and liberal ism and generally thorough hu manness. * ante* nww.iiAni. munto.
