o'clock last night when It was sent
to the Triangle Service station at the
Junction of the Paclfio highway

CHOIR COMING
Portland, Aug. 21 The Hall John
son Negro Choir, which la to appear
at the Paramount concert in Port
land as the second of William B.
McCurdy's Paramount concert ser
ies, was brought to the attention of
the musical audiences of New York
In a dramatic manner the sudden
scoring of a great triumph after
months of patient struggle.
For about a year these singers,
gathered from every section of the
south, had been rehearsing and sing.
lng In the heart of New York City's
negro colony in Harlem, but it was
difficult for them to find any op
portunity to display their skill before
the regular musical audiences of New
York.
Then came an engagement to ap

created by their singing, that the
distinguished guests, who numbered
among them such Important musical
personages as Walter Damrosch,
Feodor Chaliapin, Deems Taylor, Eu
gene Goose ns. John McCormack,
Insisted that they must appear in a
regular New York concert.
The success of their first public
appearance was so tremendous with
both the critics and the public that
it was Immediately necessary to ar
range other recitals. Radio engage
ments and out-of-town concerts fol
lowed, culminating in an engagement
with the famous New York Philhar
monic Orchestra at the summer sta
dium concerts, which by popular de
mand had to be repeated.
The choir's songs are so arranged
that the spirit of the old-time camp
meeting Is entirely preserved. All ol
the primitive beauty of the folk
music has been retained and height-

to prove aha still has a divine right
to the title. The dark, slim diva
will give a ooncert at the Para
mount theatre in Portland as tni
opening attraction on William B.
McCurdy's Paramount Concert se

The return of GalU-Curcl to con
cert and radio has stirred a wave
of world-wide interest, following a
year of retirement - during which
she was successfully treated for a
throat Impediment, that has given
her voice a freedom to soar to new
heights.
In Chicago, where she sang in
"Boheme," there was a slight divi
sion of critical opinion. But Eugene
stlnson, musle critic of the Chicago
Dally News, wrote after hearing
some "test" records made of her
new voice that "she has given in
disputable evidence of a comeback
In a set of microphonic recordings
which attest the amazing fitness
of her vocallsm. They show an ex
traordinary intensity of tone and a
quick-silver mobility of vocalization.
The contain the voice the whole
world Is waiting to hear."
Besides Galli-Curci. Mr. McCurdy
will present the Hall Johnson Choir,
Yehudo Menuhln, Gladys swartn
out, the Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo, and Kirsten Flagstad, on his
1937-38 concert series at the Para
