Ovations followed ovation for

of appluusa for Ming Hockmoro,

turned her talents to the modorn

Robeson begun his concert to
tho tuno of "Water Boy," a negro
convict song intoned to the
ryhlhm ot the swinging pickaxe
The audience was moved to
laughter by the English folk
song, "Oh, No, John," but
seemed to feol the pathos of
"Night," sung first in English
and then In Russian. A solemn
Hebrew chant closed the group
In a roar of applause that
brought tin encore, " 'Taln't

dience. Robeson's second group was
made up entirely of Russian
songs, ending with "The Kloa,"
Gootho's famous comic poem set
to music by Moussnrg.iky. Thun
derous applnuso after this song
brought n string of three encores
that proved to bo tho hlghlluht

applause. "Peat Hog Soldiers"
