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

All-Campus Christmas Sing
Cancelled by Religious Council
The All-Campus Christmas sing,
tentatively planned by the Univer
sity religious council, has been can
celled, according to Beverly Pit
man, student member of the coun
cil and chairman of the affair.
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.
Membership Diverse
The membership, composed o£
both students and adults, includes
workers from the various denorn
inationss, YWCA and YMCA secre
taries, representatives of the Eu
gene Ministerial association, and
members of the faculty committee
on religious and spiritual agencies,
