Kristen Flagstad, tie 'ctropolitan
Operas most luminous star and its
greatest box office attraction, will APP
pear on the University Artists Course
at Northrop auditorium Saturday, Feb
ruary 8.
She will sing 18 selections, includ-
ing three each by Schubert, Grieg and
Strauss. Two numbers by Brahms,
two by Alnaes and one each by Wag-
ner, Deems Taylor, Edwin Macarthur
Ernest Charles and Mildred Tayson
will complete the program. Edwin
Macarthur will be her accompanist.
The Norwegian soprano, who is
Mrs. Henry Johansen in private life,
grew up in an intensely musical en-
vironment.
She was born in Kamar, Norway, a
short distance from Oslo. Her father
was conductor in Oslo. Her mother
is pianist and coach for both individ-
ual singers and chorus groups. She
has two brothers. Ole is a conductor
and Lasse concert pianist Her sis
ter, Karen Marie, like herself, is a
singer.
Although they hoped Kristen would
become doctor, her parents made heI
study the piano as a child She took
up singing largely through an accident.
AT the age of 10, on her own volition
and for her own amusement, Kristen
learned the role of Elsa in "Lohen-
grim" Then she added another role,
Aida.
To entertain guests at party in
honor of her confirmation, Kristen
sang operate arias from these operas.
A friend told her that she would soon
ruin her voice if she did not develop
it properly. She gave the child lessons
in placement and breathing. At 10,
Kristen began study with Ellen
Schytle-Jacobsen in Oslo. Still she
did not contemplate a musical career,
Two years later she made her debut
in the role of the little girl Nuri in
D'Albert's "Tiefland" Then she went
to Stockholm for study under Gillis
Bratt.
Until 1888, she appeared only in the
Scandinavian countries. That summer
she sang at Bayreuth, returning there
in 1884. 1t was news of her singing at
the Festspielhaus that prompted G Il
Casazza and Artur Bodansky to as
her down to St. Moritz for an addition
later that summer. Despite the fact
that the addition was in a small hotel
room with heavy drapes, they were inn
pressed by her voice and signed her
for the leading soprano Wagnerian
roles at the Metropolitan for the win
ter of 1934-35.
Arriving quietly in New York, with
out any preliminary fanfare, she swept
an unprepared audience completely off
its feet at her debut as Sieglinde in
ode Walkuere" on February 2, 1885.
At her second performance as Isolde
a few days later every inch of standing
rom was taken The same condition
existed at all her subsequent appear
ances during the season.
In succeeding seasons, Madame
Flagstad has also been the chief at
traction of the Metropolitan. At every

St. John S President
Assdi|s Statement
OF Housing Official
Borr Says 'kovy City Plan!
May Have Caused Certain
'Misopprehensions'
By the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS. Md. Dec. 13.-Dr.
Stringfellow Barr, president of st.
Johns College, today declared the
statement of Harry R. England, vice
chairman of the Annapolis Housing
Authority, relative to the possible
construction of a navy city" outside
the city limits may readily have led
to certain misapprehensionS on the
part of the public
The college president said the
statement implied that the Board of
Visitors and Governors of ST. Johns
is acting unreasonably in trying to
save for college use an acre and
third of the campus which the
authority seeks to condemn and
where it proposes, in its vice chair
mans words, to create a defense
project"
Mr.. England drew distinction be-
tween the college campus and col
lege-owned property. He said the
authority wanted a tract Of land,
owned by seven different parties.
between railroad tracks and city
street and declared mo part of the
land sought is in or even adjacent
to the college campus" He pointed
out that if a site could not be OBJ
tanned the Navy might build on its
own land
DR.. Barr pointed out that Secretary
of the Navy Knox had written him
stating that President Roosevelt and
the Secretary agreed that the campus
should not be used for the expansion
of the Naval Academy but stipulated
that the college should not permit
the authority to have the land it
seeks.

Friday the 18th link Gives
D. G. PoyIess Week End

This being Friday the 18th, a lot
of unlucky people in Washington
will go broke over the week end.
Such a fate is exceptionally I'M
fortunate for those Federal EN-.
ployes who would like something
more substantial than tomorrow's
half holiday to spend in Christmas
shops.
The jinx calendar combination,
which means no pay until Monday
the 18th fer some 10000 employees
and their families here, bobs up all
too frequently for the skeptical as
well as the superstitious.
Speaking of combinations, the
turnkey at No. 13 precinct turned
up this morning with exactly 13
prisoners in what he called the
"clink."
He reflected that If he had been
q betting man that would be . tip
on something or other. So, just for
fun, the turnkey turned out his
pockets. He had 13 cents.
All Of which is only remotely con-
nected with the fluctuating but un-
mistakable drone Of powerful air
plane motors which countless Wash
