BY ALICE EvERsMAN.

One of the pleasantest duties to
come our way was the covering OF
Lawrence Tibbett's concert yeSter-
day afternoon at Constitution Hall.
The first artist to be presented on
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey's series this
winter, it was also Mr.. Tibbett'S
first appearance at this hall In two
seasons. The pleasant part was vel
coming back great artist ana to
find that he has regained the mas
terly control of his art that made
him quite unequaled by any other
singer.
The strain of his long and sue
cessful career brought the inevitable
result of a dimming for time Of
his mastery but he has staged re-
markable comeback in which only
a slight lesSening of his verve
showed any difference from his
former manner of singing. The
voice is magnificent, resonant and
expressive, and produced easily and
with complete control Perhaps the
high tones were not so free as for
merly nor did they ring with their
former viril quality, but this was evi-
dent most to those who have heard
him many times.
But Tibbett singing in the best of
voice or not is beside the question
for the paramount thing is what he
has to give. There is first the de-
light of his excellent diction, by
which the text is given its full i'm
portance. AS he makes practice
of singing his program entirely in
English, with the exception of any
arias, many songs take on new
meaning by being thoroughly un-
derstood. His sense of style Is
matched by his responsiveness to
the sentiment of his numbers and
the dignified manner of his pres
entation captures the attention of
his listeners.
Nor is his program ever hack
neyed, although always containing
some numbers which he has en-
deared to his public. A student of
the best in the song literature, he
chose as his major number -Four Sc
rious Songs by Brahms; the "One
Thing Befalleth the Beasts" so
I Return" 20 Death, How Bitter"
and Though I speak with Tongues, I"
during which he asked the audi
ence to refrain from applauding
until the end. These songs, ending
Brahms great creations in this
style, are soul-revealing in their
somberness and spirituality and
MIR. Tibbett is one of the few sing
ers by vocal endowment and tenn
perament capable of interpreting
them with fine sympathy.

under our skins more than any

hal to bow.
There were $50 of us in Los
Banos, 40 miles southeast OF
Manila. We arrived in boX-cars.
We had been picked from $500
Allied nationals in the big con-
centration camp, Santa Tomas,
in Manila. Our task was TO pre-
pare this place for the rest, but
we all signed petition asking
them not to bring women and
children here. This was malaria
country. Besides, we preferred
to remain a solid bunch of
ready, unhampered men.
We got no answer TO the petit
tion-but the women and chill
dren never came.
THEY DODGED "PORKY"
Life in Los Banos was not so
tough, though primitive by our
standards. A number of proml-

among us-a funny sight in our
streamlined costumes of dunga-

Porky was indeed plump. He
sported long cigaret holder,
always blowing rings from his

cost us $3.50 when we could get

that we didn't have to bow to
