HUGE CROWD OUT
TO HEAR MARIAN
ANDERSON HERE
Rx NAT IuNp

Marian Anderson, by all stand
ards the worlds greatest contralto
last week enthralled an audience
at The Moore which overlooked
into the wintry streets; an audi
ence which had long awaiter the
appearance of an artist who has
achieved the supremacy of her artf
An Anderson audience, waiting 70
the recital to commence, is un-
like most-there is about it less
of anticipation of mere entertain
ment than a sort of special ex-
/ In a rust-toned gown, corded
In gold, Miss Anderson seemed
even more self-possessed than in
her last appearance here a year
ago. There is nothing of self
approval in her stage presence on
her singing, but the calm sim
plicity of her personality projects
itself to every listner, bringing a
richer Interpretation to every sell
ection.
A varied group opened the pro-
gram, including Ahles revent
ARDENT Longing" and the vivid
lie Violette" of Searlatti. Next
came Schubert's "An die Leier"
and the same composers scintil-
lating "Abschied," in which Miss
Anderson's skill was augmented
by that of her accompanitt, Franz
Rupp. Her dramatic abilities were
brought into the limelight in "The
Erl King" but for many the high
point of the evening was her rem
dition of me me refuse pas"
from "Herodiade." Here the flex-
Utility, the strength and subtlety
of Miss Anderson's voice found
full scope. 1t was a performance
| her listeners will long remem-
Der.
Following the intermission, a
group of varied songs were offer
ed before the unforgettable An
derson arrangements of spirituals:
arrangements which are intricate
and polished, but nevertheless
possessed of a feeling which def
les analysis.
Here encores included when
Love Is Kind" Songs My Mother
Taught Me-" mo Hidin' Place
Down There" "Will O. the Wisp,"
and incompatible ave Maria"

Duties for ourselves can we OBJ

letter of the Bill of Rights. How
well do you know this charter
of our liberties? Read it over
carefully and turn its clauses into
inverse ratio. Free press = free
to speak the truth but not free
to make false statements. Free
assembly, not to be used to over
throw the government but free
and friendly discussion. Freedom
to worship, but not to keep any
one else from worshiping. And
so on. Each freedom that is Civ
en- carries with it its duty or
restriction, which affects each
mans conduct toward his neigh

Only as we carry out all the
obligations of our Bill of Duties
are we entitled to the privileges
of our Bill of Rights.

WHAT IS YOUR DUTY?
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Duty is an oldfashioned word =
but all the modern sophistries
won't wipe it out. This country
grew up on copy book savings
and 1t reached its heights under
men who had thoroughly dinned
into them the plain, homely vir-
tues of loyalty, honesty and In
tegrity, and the personal applica-
lions of these to their community
life.
We have wandered far and
have too often taken rights as
privileges. We must go back to
the Proverbs, to the simple state
ments of right and wrong.
Righteousness exalted a nation;
but sin is a reproach to any peo-
pie"
He that justifieth the wicked
and he that condemeth the just,
even they both are an abomina-
ton to the Lord"
BUY the truth and sell it not;
get wisdom sand instruction and
understanding"
HE that hath no rule over
his own spirit is like city that
Is broken down and without
walls"
"They that forsake the law,
praise the wicked. but such as
keep the law contend with them. "
Only by setting UP a Bill of

AMERICAN UNITY.
By N, Clare Rupert
World Affoirs Room
Weshinaton Public Librory

At long last. beginning with the
adoption of the good neighbor
policy, the United States has be-
stirred itself to mend its all-Amer-
lean fences, and will most certainly
undertake to solve the problem OF
formulating a deliberate political
program that will be agreeable to
Central and South America. Such
formula, during this period of
theological conflict all over the world,
could and should be devised if only
for the sake of hemisphere security.
Sumner Weues' Where Are We
Heading?" makes the premise self
evident.
There are other reasons, however
for Americas new policy toward its
southern frontier zone. Huber Her
rings America and the Americas"
clearly shows the realities and the
importance of international trade
and cultural exchanges which foster
closer and more sympathetic under
standing among nations.
Virginia Prewett's "The Americas
and Tomorrow" also tells us Of the
things that we can do something
about south Of the border, emphasize
ing the job Of sharing q decent
hemisphere with our neighbors as
equals, and keeping outside enemies
away.

pean continent, its original man
ner has been greatly improved"
Another tells us it is of. Bohemian
origin, while still another says 1t
was originally of French origin,
"but so modified in Germany as to
belong really to that country. 1t
became popular on the continent at
the beginning of the nineteenth
century, and was introduced In
England in 1872" This, at least,
would lend color to our own city's
claim for first having danced the
waltz In this country.
However, Mr.. Car,isi did much
toward making it popular at his
dancing saloon, where many OF our
earlier residents took lessons in
their youthful days to the strains OF
the fiddle played by a slave, Harry
White, who belonged to Mr.. Carusi.
The writer recalls this old colored
man when he was feeble, and, with
his snow-white hair, looked the part
Of the typical Uncle Tom, in Uncle
Toms Cabin"
Louis Carusi was one of the three
sons of Gaetano Carusi, who came
to this country for the purpose Of
organizing the United States Ma
rine Band, but who did not fare so
well because the officers who urged
him to come here went beyond their
authority in doing SO. Complies
tions naturally ensued, and appar-
emily no one seemed strong enough
to assume the responsibility for the
presence of the pioneer Carusi and
his family, or for those who came
here with him to play in the band.

Mr.. Fischer has become some
what of a controversial character
since he returned from more than
two months of work with UNRRA
in the Ukraine last year and dashed
into print with pieces in Harpers,
Life and the New Yorker (Which
provide the foundation for this
book. Some of his colleagues In
UNRRA-particularly Marshall Mac
Dufie, chief of the UNRRA mission
to the Ukraine, have taken violent
exception to Mr.. Fischer's state

how to get along with the Rus
sians-and even to his writing a
book about Russia at all.

How valid these criticisms may be

Assistant Postmaster Myers Tells How
He Wrote His Cdree 5ook The 'Guv :"
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

is proof Of that statement. Mr.
Myers long has been prominent
member of the bar. He graduated
from Yale in 1905. Mr.. Myers, in
cidentally, says his interest in poll
tics began that year,
Wrote Law Books.
The author taught in public
schools, wrote law books. served as
attorney to several public boards In
Indianapolis and was Speaker OF
the Indiana House of Representa-
tives. He was secretary at two DEM
ocratic National Conventions and at
the San Francisco convention in
1920, made a nominating speech for
an ambitious young man named
Roosevelt, who was running for
Vice President.
Perhaps the most readable portion
of the book is the section dealing
with that convention. OF particular
interest is that concerning the con-
versation between Mr.. Roosevelt and
a young delegate from Indiana be-
meath the rostrum just before the
future Presidents name was SUBJ
mitted to the convention.
Two Years to Write.
Mr.. Myers, who has been Assistant
Postmaster for seven years, worked
on his book over a two-year period.
with my family remaining back In
Indiana, had lots of time to write
during the long evening hours here, "
he declared in an interview.
He also disclosed that he is writing
q second book, this one, however, on
an entirely different question.
You may recall that Mr.. Myers
made headlines as judge in the Es-
quire Magazine mailing privilege
case.
How the "Guv," who is something
of the Horatio Alger type, was able
to remain above suspicion in all the
hurly- y-burly and shenanigans that
crop up in politics-be they local,
State or national-remains a minor
mystery of this entertaining book.
Perhaps it's because Mr.. Myers is
an idealist at heart.
