Lauritz Melchior Presentation Sunday Commended by Student Music Critic By MARY DUNDORE Lauritz Melchior, famed Wag nerian tenor of the Metropolitan opera, was enthusiastically re ceived by a large audience gath ered in McArthur court last Sun day. Directed by Otto Seyfert, the or chestra, which accompanied Mr. Melchior throughout the program, opened with Sibelius’ “Finlandia.” Discrepancies in the horn section., Badly marred this number. Warmth and Beauty Mr. Melchior, then beginning his first group of songs, sang “Stille mit Hjerte” by Hannikainen. The tenor’s warmth and beauty of tone ®nt itself well both to this and to the “Der flyver saa mange Fugle” fty Anderen which followed. I In spite of a slight tightness in i tbgse first numbers, the entire pro f gram displayed only that rich, sat isfying quality of tone that has made his voice so outstanding. With vigor and spirit, Mr. Melchior closed his first group, singing, “Drick” by Jordan. An encore, Hen riques’ “Danish Spring Song” was beautifully interpreted. Strings Good The orchestra played once again, this time “Overture to ‘Merry yVives of Windsor’ ” by Nicolai. The strings were good in this lilting se lection. Mr. Melchior’s next group was devoted to the operatic arias: “Grahlserzahlung” from “Lohen jgrin” by Wagner, and “M’Appari” from von Flotow’s “Martha.” The Wagnerian aria was the more out standing of the two, since it de manded and received the singer’s best capabilities. One does not often hear a voice like Mr. Melchior’s; when one does, i.t^s particularly satisfying to hear sung, those things which to less dy namically gifted artists are impos sible. The “M’Appari,” however, as (Please turn to page si.v) Casting Completed For New UO Play Casting has been completed for the Richardson-Birney play, “Dark of the Moon,” which opens Decem ber 4 at 8 p.m. in the University theater.

The sing would have been given during the closed-week of finals, and would have conflicted with study regulations. It would have also conflicted with caroling groups from the various living organiza tions. Vespers Being Cleared Winter and spring dates for the vesper services, also sponsored by the council, are now being cleared through the dean of women’s office and will be announced soon. The purpose of the organization, is to afford some type of religious expression, in addition to the regu lar functions of the organized churches, which would be represen tative of the social, intellectual, and spiritual life growing out of the spe cial society formed by the Univer sity.
