Friedberg Gets
OuatiOn Here
BY CHARLES GENTRY

MUSICAL DETROIT had real
cause for Thanksgiving this year
for al last We have a great or
chestra and a great director who
can provide Us with a program OF
such magnificent music that last
nights subscription audience left
Masonic Auditorium completely
overwhelmed.
Added reason for such an ova-
ton as shook the walls OF Masonic
Auditorium last night was the APP
pearance of Carl Friedberg, the
last of the keyboard Titans, as
SoloiSt in the monumental Brahms
Second Piano Concerto.
Although a student Of Clara
Schumann. a friend of Johannes
Brahms. and a man over 20 years
OF age, Friedberg shows no signs
of falling powers or slightest
evidence OF senile encroachment
upon his great gift.
We must admit TO some mis-
giving. when this fraii, stoop
shouldered old man walked on the
stage to undertake the solo role
i'm what is probably the greatest
piano concerto ever written.
For the B-flat is the concerto 10
end all concertos, or, rather a
symphony for piano and orchestra.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-26

Of the work that it's really an i'm
portant historic occasion TO hear
him perform II.
Certainly there is no more
celestial song than that third
movement for which he produced
all the heavenly oveTtones. The
sorority of his tone, the delicacy
of his touch and the accuracy OF
his attack, particularly in the last
movement, held that crowd breath
less and more than justified the
standing and shouting ovation
which followed.
Since the orchestra plays such
an important part in this partic-
ular concerto, we must give equal
credit TO Karl Kruger and the
orchestra for the inspired support,
or rather cooperation they pro-
vided.
The orchestra sounded so ma
ture. so finished that they de-
served just as much of the
applause.
Particularly since they had pre-
ceded the Brahms with a deeply
moving reading of the Sibelius
Second Symphony.
This is our favorite of the
Sibelius Seven. and Kruger and
the orchestra gave it a beautiful
performance. relieving even the
brooding, somber measures with
a sort of lyric Interpretation.
II was this simple and sensitive
quality, prior 10 the mounting
climax of the last movement
which made it so impressive from
its opening passage. The SHADING
and contrast which Krueger's di
rection contained, brought out the
wonderful nostalgia texture of the
work and the sweeping strings
gave full value TO its great me
llodic worth.
Altogether IL was mos
memorable evening and one we
would have loved TO have hearc
all over again.

MONUMENTAL WORK

Brahms, rather than writing a
virtuoso piece. planned four move
ments of a work for solo inStru-
ment and orchestra in which the
piano is really an integral part OF
the orchestra.
Because of this and the ire
mendous dimensions of the work,
the responsibility of the soloist is
not Just one of sheer artistry but
of thorough understanding of the
scope of what he has TO tackle.
In addition the physical de-
mands call for commando tactics
at the keyboard.
But no sooner had Friedberg
started and we knew our doubts
were absolutely groundless, for he
gave us an Interpretation in the
great Brahms tradition, which
last nights listeners will not soon

CHICAGO - CAMP - Although
he has won international fame and
amassed a huge fortune for his
laugh-provoking antics, there was
noticeable absence of the comic
in the courtroom of Judge Joseph
B. HermeS last week. He sentenced
Stepin Fetchit, noted stage and
screen Comedian, to 80 days in. the

been charged with contributing to
the delinquency of a 16-year- old
stage struck girl.

HITS "ISOLATIONISTS"

Wallace asserted that ''there are
powerful groups who hope to take
advantage of the Presidents con-
centration on the war effort to de-
Stroy everything he has accom-
pliShed on the domestic front over
the last ten years" The Vice Presi-
dent spoke out in defense of Presi-
dent Roosevelt in an address pre-
pared for meeting sponsored by
Detroit labor and civic groups.
Some people call these powerful
groups 'isolationists;;' others call
them 'reactionaries, and still others,
seeing them following in European
footsteps, call them American Fas-
cists.
Sooner or later the machina-
tions of these small but powerful
groups which put money and power
first and people last, will inevitably
be exposed to the public eye."
President Roosevelt is looked up-

TUSKEGEE ARMY AIR FIELD,
Ala SNS-After thirteen months
service in the South Pacific where
he was wounded when a foxhole
caved in and injured his spine,
Pfc. Alton Fleming of Macon, Ca,
is now recuperating from his bat
tie wounds at the Station Hospital
of the Tuskegee Army Air Field.
Fleming, who has spent the last
six months in hospitals here and
abroad, tells a story full of inter-
est and excitement. In recalling
his stay in the jungle area" some
where in the Pacific, Pfc. Fleming
speaks of "What you might call
hell " He tells of days without
food or water, when the men
working both day and night in an
effort to get the jump on the Japs

from Tuskegee Institute in 1888,
was farm supervisor for the
Federal Security Agency in AL
bany, Ga, for nearly three years
before entering the armed service,
having received his degree in agri-
culture.
JAPS USE DOPE
When questioned as to his con-
facts with the japanese the ex-
farm supervisor related that the
Japanese soldiers carry dope as
part of their field equipment ana
use it freely. He stated that large
quantities of the strongest marco
tics were found on the person of
dead Japs.
Pfc. Fleming, in describing his
experiences in the South Pacific
Theatre of Operations told of the
hardships endured by the men
when they first arrived at their
base of operations. He spoke of
the constant alerting, rationed
drinking water, days without food
and the trying conditions that the
men of his outfit had to undergo
while establishing their base in
jungles infested by flies, mosqui-
toes, lice, spiders and lizards.
Fleming believed that if it had not
been for the hot weather, his
wounds would not have been SO
slow in healing and he would be
learning to fly.
In discussing his outfit, a well
known Negro Infantry group,
Fleming spoke words of lavish
praise for the men who worked SO
faithfully through day and night
to establish their base Sweating
under tropical skies, these men
were able to get set before the
enemy got jump on them. "I'm

Under the Southeastern Confer
ence Agreement with which the N.

railroads concurred the noble proc
lamation of the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis Railway Off
cials is contradicted in many
ways.
Officials of the road say they
favor the right of all Ameri-
cans to choose their jobs. Yet
they are pledged in solemn
agreement not only to bar
Americans from traditional
jobs because of color, but to
steal the precious right of SEN
i0rity from faithful workers Of
many years, simply because Of
color.
These same officials publish for
all to see that they are in the war
effort to guarantee to all Ameri-
cans the right to progress and
prosper according to their abilities
and willingness to work. The only
way one could make sense out of
this statement in view of the in

Police arrested Fetchit and the
girl three weeks ago in a midnight

Mrs. Randolph had complained
that her daughter had been absent
