that was thrilling. For an encore,
the scintillating Spinning Song"
by Mendelssohn was played with
great brilliance.
Substituting a group of English
songs in place of the programmed
numbers met with approval from
the audience, as Robert Weede
continued his triunnphal tour
through the programme.
But when he sang, with evident
understanding of what he was do
ing, a group Of Spirituals, the au
dience was completely enthralled
There followed a group of encores,
including "Old Man River. The
audience seemed to leave reluc'

In the sixteen years of the local
Community Concerts Association s
continuous existence, there has
never been finer concert given
than the one Robert Weede, bari
ton of the Metropolitan Opera AS
ISOLATION presented in the High
School auditorium last night. That
may be going off the deep end,
but if audience reaction is any
gauge-and it mostly certainly is
the statement is not extreme.
There have been many baritones
in the list of artists who have sung
here, but never a friendlier one to
his audience than this Robert
Weede. And f-iendliness was not
all he had to offer. His magnificent
high baritone voice never had a
faulty tone, and his diction was
absolutely perfect. He interlarded
his numbers with remarks, some
addressed to the young members of
the association, and that won him
friends. Some of the youngsters
were jumping up and down with
excitement at one part of the pro-
ceedings, and that is tribute
youth doesn't often pay to a singer
whose front name is not Frank.
Arias galore were in the eve
ning's enjoyment, all done with a
finesse that must have delighted
the cognoscenti in the audience.
The programme opened with a
group Of English songs, and that
is just plain good sense in pro.
gramme building for this city. The
group gave some indication of what
the evening had in store, and the
first impression was confirmed
right straight on through the list
Of songs Weede sang.
The very old aria from "Euri-
dice" showed a bel canto that was
satisfying in the extreme, and the
next number, ballad of a gon-
dolier, was done with exquisite
pathos. Tosti's "Aprile", a timely
enough number, was done to the
audiences. great delight. The Sec
ond aria mon piu andrai' by
Mozart, was gorgeous, which isn't
good word to describe it, but
which is the. only one that comes
to mind at the moment. An encore.
"Mattinata" by Leoncavallo, with
its flowing melody, followed this
group
"Rigoletto" followed, and with
wise explanation to the younger
members, to which the older mem
bers were admitted, the baritone
sang the notwithstanding, heart
broken "Cortigiania'. The en-
core to this was nothing less than
the :Large Factotum'', a most
generous and warmly received
present.
Following the intermission,
Pablo MIGUEL, who played excel
lent accompaniment throughout
the evening, came to the fore in
solo work. His first number frank
ly was uninteresting to this listen
er, which is a purely personal op-
inion, but his second a "Navar-
RAJ by Albeniz was in strong con-
trast, full of verve, and with

First Pan American
Engineers Congress
SET for Next Year

A Pan American Engineering
Congress, the first attempted, will
be held sometime next year, Dean
S. S. Steinberg of the University of
Maryland College of Engineering
announced last night.
Dean Steinberg, just back from a
18,000- mile, 3Ha month plane trip to
IL Latin American countries, said
the congress will bring engineers
and engineering professors of the
Americas together for an inter-
change of ideas.
Because of unsettled world af-
fairs" Dean Steinberg said, "a date
and place cannot yet be set"
Dean Steinberg was sent on the
tour by the State Department in
order to survey the engineering pic
ture in South America and to ar
range for future exchange of en-
gineering professors, students and
literature.
Currently he is preparing a report
to the State Department. He said
he was chosen from 160 deans of
engineering in this country, partly
because he helped engineer railroads
in South America 30 years ago.
High lights of his journey, he said,
were jeep ride over the Costa Rica
portion Of the Inter American
highway, flights over the Andes and
the Panama Canal, Venezuela hotel
rooms which cost between $13 and
$I8 a day, and the fact that he was
just few jumps ahead of the rev.
olutions in Argentina, Brazil and
Venezuela.
