Folk Singer
Heard Here
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

At the invitation Of the Ameri-
can Bar Association, or at least
Of its delegates who attended
the Hague. Conference last year,
Miss Eve Maxwell-Lyte, English
singer of folk songs Of many
lands, came to America this
year and to Washington last
night.
Under their auspices she Of
fered one Of her programs that
stress the folk songs Of the
British Isles and of Colonial
America and was received by a
distinguished audience in the
Washington Club.
She knows how to sing and
how to differentiate in presenta-
ton between the straight con.
cert style and what is, perhaps,
an idealization Of the traditional
folk-Song manner.
Vermont, though going its
own politically, has followed the
example of the rest Of the
country culturally. Middlebury
College sent its combined glee
clubs to Pierce Hall last night to
appear under auspices Of its D.
