a talk by Miss Marian Cleveland

plants, clinics and hospitals. Miss

Final Concert Of Season Scheduled
Tuesday By Metropolitan Singer

Alexander Kipnis, the Russian
American bass-baritone and lead
ing singer of the Metropolitan
Opera company, who will be heard
in concert here on Tuesday even
ing of this week in New Hanover
High school auditorium under the
auspices of the Wilmington Com
muity Concert association, holds,
among other honors, the un
disputed title of foremost singer
Of Russian folk-songs. Stree the
death of the great Feodor Cha
liapin no one mas challenged
Kipnis' supremacy in capturing
the unique feeling and flavor OF
these songs.
Kipnis has been an American
citizen for the past ten years,
but he still feels there is too much
of the Russian temperament N
him to judge and sing American
folk-songs. "A folk-song is much a
national thing" he points out,
''that a person who has not grown
up in a country should not attempt
to meddle with its folk music"
Continuing on this subject, Kipnis
noted, "Some composers have
created folk-songs while others
have taken folk music and worked
it in to symphonies and operats.

For example, Franz Schubert com
posed an art song called The
Linden Tree but for one hundred
years now it mas been as much
a part of German civilization and
culture as Stephen Fosters Old
Kentucky Horne has been in
America. That is one side On the
other hand, over ninety per cent Of
Moussorgsky's Boris Godunoff' had
its origin in folk tunes. Similarly,
the familiar 'Andante. Canjtabile'
by Tschaikowsky was taken from
song the composer heard a
carpenter signing AS Tschaikowsky
said, The people compose; we
only arranged"
Kipnis has recorded The Linden
Tree for Columbia, and an AL
bum of Russian folk songs for Vic
tor as well as Gretchaninoff' ''The
Captive" a song with much Rus
sian feeling, for the same COM
pany.
There have been many requests
for tickets TO the Kipnis program
but admission will be by member
