Donald Dickson Is
Back for Au-Star
Concert Baritone al
Temple jan. FL

Donald Dickson. the favorite
young concert baritone. will re-
turn TO Tacoma Wednesday eve
ming. January 81. as the second
attraction Of this seasons Temple
theater All-Star series. Although
1t was radio that brought him
first nationwide fame. he devoted
the early part Of his career largely
10 opera. At nineteen. he sang
his first operate role-Ford in
The Merry Wives of Windsor" at
a performance presented by the
Cleveland Symphony Orchestra.
Artur Rodzinski. conductor of the
orchestra. took a personal interest
in him. and for two seasons the
young baritone appeared in a
number of the special operate
performances which Rodzinski
produced in Cleveland.
Before he was 20. he had sung
Valentine in Faust" Escamillo in
Carmen. 'Rigoletto," Scarpia in
'Tosca." Mercutio in Romeo and
Juliet" Germont in "rravista," di
Luna in "Trovatore," Tonic in
'Pagliacci." He created the role
Of Garrick In a performance of
David Garrick" at the Worcester
Festival.
When Dickson sang at the
Temple last season Tacoma con-
cert goers for the most part
thought that popular radio sing |
er was again attempting to make
a concert career and having been |
by several former
singers did not anticipate too much.
However. from the opening number
to the ninth encore. applause such
as seldom has greeted an artist
was showered on Donald Dickson.
The next day. insistent demands
upon the part of patrons resulted
In Dickson's re-engagement.
This season finds Donald Dick
son fulfilling one of the heaviest
concert schedules Of any singer in
the country. He has been forced
to abandon his weekly radio
broadcasts to satisfy the demand
for concert engagements.
Tickets for the Dickson concert
are now on sale at Fraser's.

The Records
Are Tellinq

i Ia Which Some Obserpa-
tions Of a Specialist are
Passed On - Something
About Recording Music Of
Con temporary Composers
A Fer Samples.
Touching a subject usually un.
emphasized by the casual review
er Of recorded music. Howard Tau.
man. an authority in that field
has presented a comprehensive
review of contemporary mssic
recorded in 1871.
The writer is not unmindful of
the fact that making and selling
records is a competitive business,
and unless the business show a
profit IL will not continue. Profit
seems to have been one OF the flies
in the ointment as far as contem-
porary recordings are concerned.
Many Of the contemporary works
have not shown a profit. One rea-
son Is that 1t takes more than one
hearing to sell the public on a
record. and some of the eontem-
porary music has been of a char
acter than requires more than one
hearing.
Both Columbia and Victor have
explored that field pretty thor
oughly and have persisted in the
effort To produce recordings of
contemporary music that should
have a lasting place in American
music life. A. an incentive to
record collectors to try some of
the best Of the these recordings
the reviewer has selected this
partial list for their judgment:
Aaron COPELAND, Music for the
theater, for orchestra.
Roy Harris, Quintet for piano
and strings; also his Quartet
No. 3.
