Singing Won Traps

lrU. ). Mountains
Austrian FomiIy Hopes
To Be Free From
Gestopo's Spying

Baron and Baroness Won Trapp
and their 10 children. appearing
here in a concert Of songs from their
native Australia, hope some day to
settle down in the mountains of New
Hampshire or the West, far from the
Gestapo and threat of death.
Known to music lovers as the
Trapp Family Singers, the family
will give it's second outdoor con-
cert of the week at 8:15 pm. to-
morrow in Meridian Hill Park.
In the Kristen FlagStad suite at
the Raleigh Hotel the exiled couple
told of their plans to seek first cit
iZenship papers here and to find a
quiet home in the country, prefer
ably in the mountains. Because 1t
reminds us of home in Salzburg, p"
Baroness Won Trapp said yester-
day.
Baron Likes the Sea.
Baron Won Trapp said he would
cast his vote for the mountains
also, but later admitted he had a
fondness for the seashore. He was
a commander in the Austrian navy
during the last war and often dur
ing the years of peace before the
present war he and his family
cruised the Adriatic Sea on char
tered yachts.
With family as large as theirs,
the baron ordered a 103-foot schpon-
er to be built by a German boat
yard several years ago, but the new
war put stop to that.
The Won Traps made their first
appearance in this country in the
fall OF 1898. That same spring
the Nazis marched into Austria,
and the family fled to Italy. Re-
turning to the continent the next
summer, they gave concerts in Scan
dinavia, Holland and France.
I'VE returned to Salzburg that
summer, but remained only a
month";" Baron Won Trapp said. "It
was as much as we could stand-we
were very glad to get away" While
in Austria they were questioned by
the Gestapo. who seemed to know
of their every movement in the
United States the winter before.
Seek Visa From Canada.
Friends in this country laughed
when we told them of this on our
return here in October of 1889" the
baron remarked. But that was be-
fore you knew of the fifth column"
The family is seeking permanent
visa from the Canadian government
and after that they will be able to
file their first papers in this country.
Only seven of the Won Trapp chill
dren-five girls and two boys-ap-
pear in their regular concert tours.
along with their parents and the
Rev. Franz Washer, their conductor.
The youngest child, Johannes. aged
2, has some time to wait before he
can join the group. while two Of the
girls, 10 and II, still are studying.
The family specializes in church
music and English ballads and
madrigals. Tomorrow night they
will sing to the accompaniment OF
ancient instruments.

Makes Theater Hum

AS a wit and an expert man of
the theater, weaned on grease
paint. Mr.. Coward has always
emphasized method above ma
terial. 1t isn't what he says so
much as the way he says it that
has had solvent playgoers on
both sides of the Atlantic in
golden stitches these many years.
Quite often he has convinced
the customers that the insult
direct is fair substitute for
humor, and impudence a guar
antee of fun. His triumph. like
that of all except the greatest
dramatists, has usually been the
triumph of craftsmanship.
He is worthy of respect be-
cause he has taken the trouble
TO learn his trade. He never
has been pretentious enough 10
invite criticism except on his
own glib terms. He probably
has a more acute estimate of
his talent than any man alive.
He is an enemy of blurbs, in
Guiding his own. But he knows
his business. Say what you will.
