V IXX HERALD AND HEW3 Saturday, March 3, 145 , Dorothy Maynor . ;To Sing Wednesday ' Next Wednesday night'i concert at the Pelican theatre is one to which all music lovers have looked forward to with more than the usual keen anticipation. That night, March 7. Dorothy. r Mavnor will be presented by the Klamath Community Concert . association. Miss Maynor's appearance completes the winter con . cert program. Dorothy Maynor, sensational young negro soprano, is the new ! singer whose beautiful voice lias received the praise of musicians , as well as critics during the last few years. Audiences all over America have been stirred by ; the beautiful voice and unaffoct ed artistry of the modest young I woman. But let's begin at the begin . ning. 4 Dorothy Maynor was born In Norfolk and reared in. the par sonage of the Methodist church where her father was the minis ter. It was a small congregation and Dorothy's father was trying to rebuild it. So Dorothy, her brothel? now in the army and her sister did their best to give it good music. Dorothy and her 1 brother, a tenor, sang, and her sister played the organ. ' ' At 14, she entered famed " Hampton Institute which was to ' be her "second home" for the . next seven years. She specialized 'in home economics, dress design .. ing, decorating, training for the f career she had planned. An ac- tive, normal girl, she played on i. the varsity tennis team and took a sound interest in physical ed ucation. Purely as a sideline, she tried out for Hampton's justly-cele-" brated 120-voice choir and, once she lifted her voice, they never let her out of the group. When v 40 of the members were picked to tour the United States, she ' was inevitably chosen. The suc " cess of that tour led to a tour of i Europe by the same singers f England, France, Germany, Bel gium, Czechoslovakia, Switzer land and Austria. One of Miss ,f Maynor's treasured memories is , that of singing in the Mozarteum s at Salzburg in 1930. Back at Hampton, the choir director, Dr.- Nathaniel Dett, tried to convince her that music was her career. When she re fused to change her mind, he quietly had her application cards " altered to make music her major and so she majored in both ? music and home economics. Dr. Dett interested Harriet Curtis, dean of women at Hampton, in the young soprano, and between them they got her a scholarship at the noted Westminster choir j. school at Princeton. i-At Westminster Miss Maynor studied -conducting and choir i 'music under Dr. John Finley .v Williamson. It was Dr. William son who finally prevailed upon her to make singing her career . and Miss Curtis, again, who somehow made financial ar rangements so that Miss Maynor could go to New York to build her voice and her reputation. For three years she worked hard on her voice and her lan guages, getting along on the bar est minimum of money, alloting herself $40 a. year for concert and opera tickets, standing in line ior nours ouen going with - out dinner and almost freezing to buy standing room. Twice she entered music competitions and, difficult though it is to be lieve, now, failed to win. Then came her "break." In the summer of 1939, along with hun dreds of other music lovers and music students, she went up to the Berkshire Music festival, and there an interested music patron and a personal friend between them cajoled Koussevitzky into hearing her sing. Musical "finds" brought forth by earnest friends were an old story to the conduct or, but he consented to listen to her sing a few numbers in Berk shire's big 6000-seat hall after a tiring orchestral rehearsal. With her first notes, Kousse vitzky sat up and, when she had . completed enough numbers to demonstrate the range of her abilities, insisted that she sing FOR A LIMITED TIME.OMIY CLEAN SING CREAM 6rff jjfttS HlttTAr There's a Barbara Gould Cleansing Cream espe- .
