Miss Anderson
To Sing In

D. A. r. Reverse
Stand Toward
Famous Singer

WESTINGHOUSE N S)-The
Daughters of the American Reyolu-
ton. have reversed their attitude
to@ard Miss Marian Anderson
world famous contralto.
Tuesday they invited Miss Ander-
son to appear in Constitution Hal
in the first of series OF wal
benefit concerts.
Three years ago the OAR re-
fused to permit Miss Anderson to
appear in Constitution Hall for a
concert on Easter Sunday, April
8, 1899.
After the refusal of the organ1-
cation to let the singer use Con-
stitution Hall, Mrs. Franklin d.
Roosevelt resigned from the organl-
cation which was the object OF
ridicule from coast to coast. Secre-
tary of Interior Ickes and the
Department of Interior later ar
ranged for a memorable open-alr
concert by Miss Anderson a. the
foot of the Lincoln memorial In
Washington. The concert was at
tended by some $4,000 persons.
Mrs. John Bayley OBrien, OAR
press chairman, said the invitation
extended Tuesday followed a re-
quest from the singers manager
that she be allowed to give con-
cert in the hall, which affords one
of Washington'S largest auditOriumS.
In 1899, ten days after the or
ganization refused to permit Miss
Anderson to sing in the hall, the
OAR president, then Mrs. Henry
M. Robert, Jr., said the bar against
use of the hall by colored artists
had been adopted in 1927 because
experience showed the society
could not go contrary to or further
than the customs existing in the
city in which its properties were
located"
