Puts Blame on
Lazy Stars
Reasons We Don't
Hove English Opero

More and more frequently TIA
coma music people are asking why
there cannot be good opera in
English. Why. they ask. do Amer
leans have TO listen to words they
cannot understand when Germans,
French or Italians would not toll
crate an American opera company
which was sung entirely in Eng
lish7
One reason. Deems Taylor. COM
poser and music commentator, said
in a recent address to an opera
group, 10 that many of the modern
opera stars are too lazy and
some are too downright stupid" to
learn opera in English.
They tell you" said he. that
English 10 not a beautiful Ian
guass. You can take It from me
any opera that sounds silly In
English sounds just a. silly IN the
original"
II II the sign of = timid and
primitive culture to he ashamed
of ones own language"
Mr.. Taylor pointed out that few
Americans understand thv words
of operas given in Italian or Ger.
man and that those who do are
apt to be about five emotions
behind" because Of slowness IN
translation.
Europeans never have been able
to understand why we In this coun-
try prefer not to understand
OPERA" he said.
In his own cryptic style. Mr..
Taylor seems to have put his fin
ger on the right spot.

Hail Glenn Miller
In Eastwood Debut
Dance Hall Packed
to Greet Famed
Band Leader
BY MAURICE WALKER

Eastwood Gardens has heen
'blitzkrieged!
Last night an army of dancers
packed the Gardens TO the doors
10 welcome the invasion of their
idol, Glenn Miller and his orches-
ira. Young and old, jitterbugs and
walters, all were on hand 10 make
this one of the largest crowds the
spot has had all season.
Having started his orchestra
only a little over three years ago,
Miller has reached the top of the
band ladder i'm record time and
now has one of the most popular
dance orcheStras in the country.
HERE A YEAR AGO
eve were here at the Fox
Theater about a year ago." Glenn
told Us yesterday, "but this is the
first time we have had a chance
Ia play for Detroit dancers. OF
course 1 have played here I'm
other bands before 1 started my
own"
In addition TO being a fine nlu-
stefan, Glenn Is quite a golf fan
and he and the boys in the band
spend what little free time they
have covering the fairwayS.
I'VE have played on courses
all over the country" the mae
Stro said. sometimes without
having any sleep the night be-
fore. We travel by a special bus.
However, some of the boys have
their own cars and prefer TO
drive from one engagement To
another.
LIKES HIS WORK
Being an orchestra leader is
a tough grind, what with one
night stands, radio rehearsals
and travelling around the cOun-
try, but it's lot of fun and L
wouldn't want TO be doing any
thing else" Glenn added.
The band viii play for dancing
nightly at Eastwood Gardens,
through Saturday night, and Glenn
and his band are anxious TO meet
all Of their Detroit friends, so why
not make II a date?
