National Symphony Presents Noted Stars in

Having come through It's first

Quoted by Allard de Ridder. Dutch
composer now resident in
Canada.
If any one can be credited with
the discovery of Mr. Melton, Geor-
gia's gift to radio and the Metro
politan, it probably Is the man who
was president Of the University Of
Florida when Melton was a student
there. At that time, the young
tenor was playing saxophone in the
college band and. very incidentally,
singing in the glee club. That is,
his singing s.as incidental until this
same nameiess college president
heard him ana advised him to de-
vote his time to his voice. The
result was that Florida lost stu
dent because, to carry out his men,
tors advice, Melton transferred to
Vanderbilt University in order to
study under Gaetano de Luca.
Last winter he made his Metro
Solitan debut to more than ordinary
acclaim and he is now established
as a leading tenor of that organi-
zation. AT the same time he is re-
recording for Victor many of the
old songs of John Mccormack. to
whose voice Mr.. Melton's is similar.
On tonight's concert he will sing
with the orchestra Handels "Ombra
mai fu," Schubert's "Serenade"
and "M'Appari" from Flotow's
Martha" as we'll as group Of

Fine Exhibition,
Of Chinese Art
At War Center
Bv Florence s. Berrvman.

Chinese paintings by Alison Still
we'll constitute remarkable ex-
hibition at the United War Relief
Center this month, sponsored by
the Washington Committee of Unit
ed China Relief. This 22-year -old
American artist Is the daughter of
1t. Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell, COM
mander of the American forces
in China and India, a fact one
hesitates to add, since her paint
ings deserve attention for their own
sake, and need no distinguished
background to enhance their merit.
On the other hand, Miss Stilwell's S
unique performance of painting vefy
successfully in the Chinese manner
is due indirectly to her fathers
service in China. In 1921 he was
United States Military Attache sta
toned in Peking OPeiping). Conse-
quently she was born there, grew
up and obtained her education
there spoke Chinese from infancy,
and associated with Chinese people
Enchanted at an early age by their
ancient art, Miss Stilwell decided
to become an artist in the Chinese
manner. At the age of Is she was
accepted as pupil by noted
painter, Prince Pu Ju.
The results are such that the
average American, viewing the pres
ent collection of Miss Stilwell's
paintings. would not be able to dis
tinguish them from the works of
native Chinese painters, were it not
for their labels. Not only does she
paint on rice paper and rolls of silk
in Chinese ink and colors, with a
Chinese brush, she also reveals
Chinese vision and viewpoints SO
far as these paintings are con-
cerned.
This Washington showing is Miss
Stilwell's 29th exhibition. Proceeds
from sales go to China relief. In
addition to her approximately so
paintings there is an equal number
of Chinese paintings, some 18th
century and earlier, from C. T. Loo
& Co., New York City.
