DuBOSE REWARDS
"PORGY" TO BE
PRODUCED AS OPERA

Continued from page one)
his idea not to go ahead with the
work until he had perfected his
technique and adapted it to this
particular type of American folk
drama"
Actual work of composing the
opera has taken two years, Mr..
Hayward said, and Mr.. Gershwin
said recently in New York that ne
had spent more time on it than on
anything he had ever produced.
He is perhaps best known for his
Rhapsody in Blue" which was
given here recently by the North
Carolina Symphony orchestra, with
William Zimmerman as solo plan-
list.
at have been with Gershwin in
New York many times during IT'S
composition" Mr.. Hayward said,
adding that the noted composer
had also made five trips to the
South during the work on the
opera.
Of great interest to local peo-
pie is the fact that what Greshwin
considers to be one of the great
est ideas in the opera originated
during visit to Mr.. Hayward here
I last summer. Oershwin was taken
by Mr.. Hayward to little negro
Holiness church in Hendersonville.
"As We approached" says Mr..
Heyard, "we heard a number OF
voices raised in prayer, each diff
ferent prayer, but all of them ere
ating a natural rhythm. He was
so impressed that he has built it
into one of = the scenes in the
opera"
AS a part of his research, Mr..
Gershwin also took a house and
lived in Charleston for FIVE weeks.
He went to negro church services
there.
The opera contains. six original
spirituals and Gershwin said re-
Gently that problems came up in
the composition of the opera that
he had never faced before. Most
of his music, he said, had been
written for dancers voices. For
the first time, he said, in the opera
he set music to words, which he
said was entirely different from
writing music and letting his
brother Ira and Morrie Ryskind do
the rest of the work.
Gershwin said that he is very
fond of a duet in the opera, "Bess,
You is My Woman Now; a dirge,
my Man is Gone, and a Little
Lullaby" He believes that these
will prove the outstanding parts
| of the opera.
Rehearsals for the opera will
start on Monday. An innovation
Is that the cast will be composed
entirely of American negroes, and
Mr.. Hayward says that a number
OF magnificent negro voices have
been discovered for the opera.
The opera is scheduled to open
IN Boston about September 80 and
1t IS hoped that Il will be ready

REFERENDA PLAN
OPPOSITION VOTED
Conduit Road Citizens Hold
D. c. Requires Different
Type of Suffrage.

Commissioner George E. Aliens
proposal to hold referenda on public
questions in the District was opposed
in a resolution passed by the Conduit
Road Citizens Association last night.
AS proposed by Allen, the Commis-
sioners would be empowered by Con-
gress to hold referenda not more than
twice year. However, they would
not be bound to abide by the opinion
expressed in the vote, but could con-
slider it as merely advisory. The as
sociation objected to this provision of
the bill, and also opposed it on the
ground it is not the type of suffrage
needed for the District.

flying before boards and committees

dent of the federation, before the
