NEW YORK CITY (By Arden
H. Duane for ANP)-The lie De
France steamed majestically into
port here Monday and among the
passengers who descended the gang
plank, eager to reach home for the
Yule holidays, was a young color
ed woman Simply but smartIy
dressed, she bore quietly what was
undeniably an air of distinction.
Her fellow passengers in first
class and even the ships attaches
seemed to extend her unusual def
erence. It had been that way dur
ing the entire voyage.
The young woman was Marian
Anderson, the golden voiced singer
to whom Europe for two years has
been paying the greatest homage
it has ever paid an American ar
tist After capturing music lovers
from Paris to Russia, in Sweden,
Warsaw, Haag, Zurich, Copenhag-
en-, and even ia Nazi Austria, Mar
ian Anderson wasAeturning to her
native land.
So startling, so complete has
been the success of Miss Anderson
abroad, that even her own Ameri-
ca, following Europe as it is wont
to do, seems certain to be singing
her praises before many months.
It is not that her art has been COM
pletely unreeognized at home. She
has had triumph after triumph
here, but not the spontaneous adu-
lation which she has received in
Europe. Had she not been colored
and a woman, America would have
resounded with her praises long
ago.
Americans uaay with some ease
recognize Negro man but a col
ored woman must force their APP
probation before they will capitu-
late. Four years ago, when after
winning the competition at Lewis
ohm Stadium from the most tai
ented vocalists in the country, she
