Paul Robson
Concert Has
Honey Touch
Concert Repertoire
Is Laid Aside for
Old Folk Tunes
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

10y VLhSNAN.
Paul Robson, famous Negro BARI
tone, packed Riverside Stadium last
night in the benefit concert he gave
for the Highlander Folk School Of
Monteagle, Tenn. Mr.. Robson and
his audience always have a friendly
relationship and the artist talked to
them last night Of the songs he
would sing as if it all were a honey
gathering. Assisting on the pro-
gram were Houdie Leadbetter with
his guitar, Saunders Terry, the blind
harmonica player, and Brownie
MCGEE.
As originally announced, Mr..
Robeson's program was to have con-
tanned arias and songs from his con-
cert repertoire in addition to groups
Of spirituals. AS it turned out, how
ever, 1t was purely folk program
both by Mr.. Robson and the other
performers. Yet his numbers had
more significance since they repre-
sented the oppressed people of the
world as we'll as the principal ma
tions now struggling for liberty in
the war.
Russian Folk Song.
In the first group he placed the
Russian folk song, Night" arranged
by Alexandroff and the English
folk song "Oh, No, john" together
with the Burleigh arrangement of
Go Down Moses" and Robinson's
Water Boy" Later he sang Men
delssohn's Lord God of Abraham"
Parry's Jerusalem" with the words
OF the last verse changed by Mr..
Robson to apply to this country,
and Egel's "ChaSsidic Chant" The
final numbers were Ross Tennessee
Valley" Ezekiel Saw de Wheel" and
Joshua Fit de Battle of Jericho"
arranged by his accompanist, Law
renee Brown, and Burleigh's ar
rangement of Balm in Gilead."
A note Of patriotism underlay Mr..
Robeson's talk about these songs
and was carried out further in his
encores which consisted of a STIR
ring setting of THE Bill of Rights"
a song of the Soviet Red Army
soldiers, and another from workers
in German concentration camp.
With his great dramatic ability, Mr..
Robson aroused his audience to
cheers and wild applause.
Voice Fills Arena.
His magnificent voice with its
quality and resonant
depth filled the large arena as
sisted little by the ampliflcation
system which was not clear or pow
erful. The genuine feeling which
he puts into his singing is doubly
effective because of its naturalness
and the strong personality of the
artist. His versatility as q hnguist
was demonstrated when he sang
in Russian, German and Hebrew.
The tnimitable Houdie Leadbet-
ter could have prolonged his part
of the program indefinitely with
the requests the audience called for.
He had it singing, too, joining him
in the chorus Of boil Weevil" and
beating time In tunes he has made
popular in recordings. Work songs,
ballads and blues gave him every
opportunity to display his particu-
lar talent in the folk lore Of his
people. Gifted Saunders Terry gave
a remarkable imitation on the har-
of "The Train" and later
of a Fox Chase" while Brownie
MCGEE sang North Carolina blues
to his own guitar accompaniment.
The crowd was so large that the
concert was late in starting but
Immediately struck the note of the
evening when Lawrence Brown
played the national anthem in in
spring fashion and the audience
sang it spontaneously.

NEW YORK, March 5.-Ths
Vanderbilt family and its rami.

upset over the death OF Brig.
Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt.
For several years past the
head of the celebrated S family
had suffered from a severe car
diac condition which brought
about his complete retirement
from business and society.
Each winter General Wander

in Miami's Biscayne Bay, and he
was constantly under the care OF
physicians and nurses.

Miami 10 be with the general.
His sisters. Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney Gertrude VanderbilO
and the Countess SzechenY
GLADYS VanderbilD also jour-
neyed 10 the Florida resort.
Unlike his wife. General Van
derbilt never had displayed much
interest in society. Being of an
inventive turn Of mind he de-
voted a large part OF his time,
prior 10 his illness, 10 the inven-
tions that had brought him
handsome royalties.
A number OF other Wander
bits. including Willie" X. Van
derbilt. and Harold Vanderbilt,
are in Florida at the moment as
is Mime. Balsan. who. as Consulo
