PAUL R OBESON Paul Robeson, the Negro baritone who sings at the Auditorium Mon day evening-, February 16th on the Steers & Coman series, began life as the youngest son of a colored Methodist minister, and completed public school with honors which gave him a scholarship atRutgers College. Robeson was graduated from Rutgers the possessor of a Phi Beta Kappa key, and letters in four major sports, heralded by the late Walter Camp as “the greatest defensive end who ever trod the gridiron.” Next he studied law at Columbia University and after gaining his degree Robeson yielded to Eugene O'Neill's persuasions and was starred in “Emperor Jones.” His success as an actor was instantaneous and there followed roles in "All God's Chillun." “Porgy" and “Black Boy.’’ It was Paul Robeson’s devotion to his race and his feeling that this devotion needed more concrete expression which impelled him to prepare a program of Negro spirituals and. with Lawrence Brown, gave a recital in New York in 1925. "Robeson's voice is all honey and persuasion," writes the Musical critic of the Toronto Telegram, "yearning and searching. A rich, generous, mel low, tender voice which makes you think again and again of the great chaliapin of Chaliapin's tones dipped in honey or drenched in glowing sun shine."
