The Stars opera appreciation pro-
gram gained another enthusiastic
supporter today in James L. McLain,
director Of the American University
Mixed Chorus and instructor in
music at the university.
Expressing belief that undertake
ings such as this movement and the
campaign conducted by The Star

spread public taste for the best
music, Mr.. McLain added his in
dorsement to the new program and
announced plans for active partici-
patton by American University stu
dents in the effort.
The current offering of opera
recordings is a fine sequel to the
symphony appreciation campaign Of
last year" he said.
Valuable in Classroom.
"A practical presentation OF the
opera has been long standing need
because, of all the larger musical
forms, opera, as a complete form Of
writing, is probably the least known
and appreciated. A glance at any
seasons musical calendar will show
that operate performances are COM
paratively few and far between.
Speaking professionally" Mr.
McLain said. Il believe that these
sets will prove invaluable IN the
classroom where a study OF the
opera has been, for the most part,
a textbook presentation. Here we
have not only a comprehensive pic
ture Of the individual opera. but also
land this is Important in the total
program as outlined by The Star, a
representative selection Of the I'M
portant operate styles
Mr.. McLain said the average per-
son. Ito whom the form of opera
usually means only a conglomerate
selection of arias." will find the re-
cordings offered by The Star, and
their accompanying explanatory
folders, "a satisfactory guide to self
teaching"

years campaign on behalf Of SYM
phonic music. many students OF
music at the school made use Of the
symphonic recordings in their
studies. and the recordings were
added TO the university's collection
Public interest in the opera pro-
gram is being reflected in the pa
rade of music lovers to the special

work of giving spiritual comfort and
medical care to the fisher folk, In
dams and ESkimos of Labrador.
Even before he died here yester-

it derives it's title, Republics South
