It is inevitable that Alexander
Kipnis, the great bass baritone
of the Metropolitan Oper'. who will
sing here on Tuesday, April 30th,
be compared with the late Challa-
Ipin. Both bassos and both Rus
slams, these two Metropolitan Opera
artists are bound to be paired In
the judgments of opera-goers who
are prone to comparisons between
singers Of the past and singers
of today.
1t is certainly not question of
whether Kipnis is a second Chali-
apin;" his achievements and his
individuality give him more than
enough right to be called the ''first
Kipnis." Yet comparison of this
contemporary artist with a great
singer of yesterday offers excel
lent reference for understanding his
person; and vocal significance.
Each of these Russian-born art
lists was recognized as a leading
singer in opera houses all over
the world before he became a star
at the Metropolitan. Once they
made their debuts at the Metro
politan, they soon became noted,
not only for their remarkable
voices, but for the force of their
personalities. However, Chaliapin
reused his audiences with his gus
to and theatres, while Kipnis,
though equally robust, wins his
audiences by his friendly warmth
and intimate quality. One critic
spoke of Mr.. Kipnis' personal mag
netism: II suspect this ephemeral
thing the audience clearly felt,
but knew not what name to give,
was simply Mr.. Kipnis' I'm
deniable sincerity and profound
musical integrity
Concerning their concert appear
ances, one critic wrote, 'sKipnis
is not unlike Chaliapin in his per-
feet phrasing, his masterful pres
ence, and his rich, restrained
tone" 1t was Chaliapin's custom
to distribute large programs con-
tanning his entire repertoire and
then announce which numbers he
would sing, suiting his programs,
on the spur of the moment, to his
mood or the occasion.
Kipnis follows the traditional
formula of singing program that
is announced and printed in adj
vance, but he explains all foreign
Language songs Himself so his au-
diences can follow the lyrics as
well as the music. "A Temperament
tai interpreter by nature, he is
also a good talker. Kipnis adopt
ed a course which added much

guages other than English-that of

dens, in which she quotes the fol-
lowing message:
Food for Peace has become as
imperative as Food for Victory.
Where hunger abounds, unrest pre-
walls and there can be no lasting
peace in a world of starving peo-
pie. Self-interest alone should
prompt us to share our abundance
and when we add the altruism of
a Christian country, the motive is
truly compelling.

Metropolitan Opera Star To Sing
In Wilmington On Final Program

explaining the backgroun OF
operate arias and the sentiments
of minor lyrics" said the toronto
Globe.
"Boris Godunoff'' the Moussorg-
sky opera that epitomlzes the
grandeur of Imperial Russia, mas
been the favorite role OF both Kip
mis- and Chaliapin, just as Rus
sian folk songs were for Chalia-
pin and are for Kipnis an out
standing medium of expression on
the concert platform. Though re-
garded as the foremost living ex-
ponent of the Chaliapin style, Kip
mis- has made his own vocal and
interpretative contributions to the
bass-baritone tradition. Speaking OF
| his art, the Washington Post de-
clared: THE Kipnis voice has a
remarkable range and dynamic
control that varies from stentorlan
vigor to a dulcet pianissimo. Emo
tionally it transmits every shade
of feeling. be it gayety or compass
sion, joy or suffering. In style ne
| is master both of theatrical
accents and the subtle art of the
lied" The Indianapolis News add
ed succinctly: ''Kipnis great as
both as singer and as artist"
Kipnis is more Americanized
than was Chaliapin He has been
citizen for many years and is
married to an American girl.
Chaliapin was favorite at the
Cars court before the Russian
revolution, and he returned to the
Soviet many times as an artist
of the people,, but Kipnis left
Russia upon his graduation from
the Imperial Co servatory in War
saw, and has never returned to the
land of his birth. When he is not
on recital tour or engaged in his
performances at the Metropolitan,
the singer spends his time with
his family in their Westport, Con-
necticut home.
Mr. Kipnis will appear In Will
mington under the auspices of the
local Community Concert associa-
ton, and admission will be by
membership card only. This is the
Hast of series of four concerts
given by the association this sea-
son, and it is felt that nothing
could be a more fitting or glori-
GUS closing concert than the one
to be given by this fine artist.
All association programs are CIV
en- in the auditorium of the Me-
Hanover High school, and as the
capacity of the hall was subscrib-
ed before the season started, it
will be impossible to obtain addi-
tiona1 cards.

At Press WOmen's Luncheon
MRS. ROOSEVELT RETURNS.
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor.

In an appeal carrying a ring OF
personal conviction, Mrs. Franklin
Roosevelt asked women of the press
yesterday to help spread the mes
sage, "We must make the United
Nations work"
Guest of honor of the Women's S
National Press Club Of which she
is a member. Mrs. Roosevelt spoke
at luncheon at the Mayfower in
her first Washington address since
her return from Europe, where she
was the only woman on the United
States delegation to the United Ma
tions Conference in London.
Presenting grim picture Of
leveled cities where hunger stalks
and where transportation is COM
plctely demoralized, Mrs. Roosevelt
declared that only those who knew
Europe before the World War, i'm
mediately following it and at the
present time, could realize the pro
gressive" horrors of war.
Making Lne machinery set up 10
keep peace of the world functioning
in spite of obstacles and set-backs
should be the objective of every
one of U.S." she declared. Every
thing we do should be weighed
against that ultimate objective"
The late Presidents wife remarked
on the scarcity of delegates between
the ages of 40 and 80 to the London
conference and the difficulty of find
ing suitable secretary general for
the Security Council
"We were in search of some one
who had experience-not too DID,"
she explained. There were not
many middle-aged men present.
Why? They were either killed or
crippled in the war of 1914-18. That
is why Europe has lacked leadership
