lagos "Credo" from "OthelIo" G. Verdi
(John Charles Thomas)
Mr.. Thomas songs in the first part
of the program (by Handel, Marcan-
tonic Cesti and Strauss) need as only
comment that they should serve to
show the versatility of the artist. In
lagos "Credo" from Verdi's "Othello."
The great Italians master work.
"Othello" and "Falstaff," the works
which Verdi wrote when he was around
80 years of age, are probably the only
Two works in operate literature where
the greatness of the literary text has
not been lessened by the composers
addition. We need only to remind you
OF the deplorable instance Of Faust to
see the truth of this statement There
are instances where the composer has
ennobled the origin of his text as in
the case of Mozart's Figaro" (after
Beaumarchais), but then Beaumar-
chais. sprightly and gay though he is,
is not in Shakespeare's class.
In "Othello," Verdi shows not only
superb UNDERSTANDING OF tne value OF
the text, but all the strength of his
musical and dramatic genius, ennobled
by knowledge spirituality, and the ab-
sence of any Of the slightly vulgar
traits of his earlier works The
"Credo," in which IagO denies all faith,
Is one Of the high points of the opera.
Two dances from

The two Spanish dances on the pro-
gram. by Manuel de Falla, from his
opera, La Vida Breve" Cthe second
one has become popular as a violin
transcription are both so full of ex-
citing rhythm, Of brilliant color, Of
really typical Spanish atmosphere Tin
the first one, nearly violent in its
depth), that any transcription for a
solo instrument can but be like what the
etching is in comparison to the original
oil painting. This is all the more true
of this racial music, which depends
more than on its melodic line, on Just
this variety and contrast of color: and
it is therefore only in their symphonic
setting that these dances display, them
selves at their best, and gain their full
value

From all accounts, Serge Lifar comes
more nearly to what one has become
accustom to since the world was
startled by the first group Of Russian
dancers. If the time could be made
to fit he might be acclaimed as the
finer reincarnation Of Nijinsky, but as
a matter of fact, he is only slightly
indebted to the Nijinskys for artistic
training although immeasurably bound
to Bronislava Nijinsky for her help
in starting him on his career. It was
she who brought him to the attention
OF Diaghileff, who, because of critical
condition in his artistic affairs, was
willing to give him a chance. For six
years he played leading rolls in the
Diaghileff ballet, developing remark
able ability and originality Diaghileff
encouraged him to work out his destiny
and under his guidance. he designed
his first ballet-Stravinskys "Renard."

tinued to create with varying success,
gradually winning recognition for a
talent of invention far above the ordi-
nary. Then fate. which seems to have
played an important part in his career,
brought to him the offer of the post
of ballet-master of the Paris Opera.
At that moment this was not bril-
liant offer for the ballet of the opera
had not been of the best for many
years and it meant practical recrea-
ton to raise it from the deadening
rut it had fallen into. Indignation
was almost universal when 1t was an
nounced that such young man had
been chosen to assume full RESPONSE
bility.
1t did not take Lifar long, however
here was personality to be reckoned
with, and bit by bit he was able to
build up the delapidated ballet until
today it can be spoken of with pride
Lifar is, above all, a dancer of unusual
gifts, of supple bodily grace and great
agility and a remarkable athlete as
well. AS a choregrapher, he is IN
gcnious and novel, seeking to fashion
romantic tendencies to the modern
mode
When he and his company make
their American debut next Sunday he
will dance The Spectre Of the Rose"
in which Nijinsky made his debut at
the Metropolitan where he received an
ovation that equaled Caruso's. An
other favorite number of NijinSky's,
"L'apreS-midi dun Faune, will also
be danced. His repertoire is large and
varied so that his American audiences
may expect many new and enlighten-
ing interpretations Of popular dance
programs and be privileged to study
the latest ideas of one of the most
outstanding figures in the ballet today.

Close Bond of Love
In addition to the insurance

knowledge of Earle's unhappy

A possible witness. Dougherty
said, is Miss Margaret McHale,
one of several Sweethearts listed

Earle had begged to marry him.
The prosecutor said:
