In Saga Of
Great Singer

NEW YORK, N.Y-(SpeciaD-
The inspiring. tender story OF a
poor Philadelphia girl who through
her glorious voice has become one
OF the greatest exponents for the
good OF her race, is told in the cur
rent issue OF Liberty Magazine.
Marian Anderson, in an exclusive
interview granted TO the famous
author, John Erskine, tells OF her
aspirations and ambitions, not alone
for herself, but for her people as
we'll.
Marian Anderson has been sfngtrC
since she was six years old. AT that
tender age she took part in a duet
with another little girl at the Union
Baptist church in Philadelphia
where she was born. When she was
eight years old she was known as
the baby contralto" and the phe-
nnmenal range OF her voice began
TO disclose itself. Her musical edu-
cation was started by the people OF
her church who contributed their
nickels and dimes to a fund for
Marian Andersons Future" That
she has repaid her good friends
amply is evident in her wide &C
claim among all peoples.
Mr.. Erskines article discloses Miss
Anderson not only as great singer
but also as a great American.
