FISH PACK
OFF AGAIN
t947 Catch Still Ahead Of
Last Year But No In
crease During Week

With the approach of the close of
the 1947 Alaska salmon fishing sea-
son, hopes are not very bright for a
pack to equal the annual average
of approximately five million cases.
During the last week, the pack in
Southeast Alaska began to taper off
after getting slow start to over
take the 1916 pack. The last week
reported so far this year was below
the same week of last season while
the average for the Territory just
equalled that of 1946. This was due
to the reopening of some small areas
in Contra Alaska.
The complete canned salmon pack
report, by districts, for the week
ending August &c. as reported to
the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service,

 Another trip out to the "Top Hat" on Auburn St., with Mrs. Eloise Day, and Mrs. Minnette Elzy, proprietress at the "Top Hat''. A swell spot with accommodations both up and down. Notice to our Hart ford musicians: The place is open for a good, reliable, small entertaining outfit.
 Don't miss Erskine Hawkins and his great band, at the State Theatre in Hartford this weekend. All music inclined "cats'' should fall in line for a real musical treat.
 Congratulations to Betty Lou Allen and Art Warmsley, from the office for their fine job, covering the Hazel Scott story at Bushnell the other night. When I got back-stage, late as usual, all I got was an autographed photo and a hand shake from Hazel, who only had three minutes before her second appearance.

SPEAKING OF MUSIC By Betty Lou Allen

pleasantly surprised; and your reporter is no exception to this rule.
 However, while browsing through Fox's record collec- tion, I came across a listing of records whieh caught my eye. Anyone who is even vaguely interested in collecting good records will realize that you need not always rely upon our old favorites. There are young singers who are coming up in the world and whose light bids fair to shine as bright, if not brighter than the older stars.
 I listened to several albums, however, three of them gave me a great deal of pleasure, as we'll as teaching me quite bit. Carol Brice's recordings of Gustav Mahler's "Song of the Wayfarer" are some of the best work done by a contralto in this day and age. She has fresh, vigorous talent which she handles rather well. It would seem by now that this ! song cycle was written for Miss Brice.
 Today was the day in which I struck my pot of gold with vocalists. A young German Mezzo Soprano who records with Victor has done a marvel ous work with Othello. Tiana Lemnitzs career was abruptly blitzed by the war. Had it not been for this I feel that she might have been further along than she is now. It's worth the time spent to hear her clear bell like tones and the spark ling manner in which her arias are put across. Should you care, the album number is M- 86O.
 The last, and my favorite was a group of odd records by Maggie Teyte, just brought in from England. Of all the sing CTS of French arias and just plain songs, l believe Maggie Teyte does the best job of giv- ing a song that rounded, pol ished tone which makes it as a masterpiece. From the selec- tion, L'Heure Exquise by Hahn, her rendition was one of the best done. The song takes in the mystic solitude and depth as Hahn meant it to ex- press.
 Les Roses D'Ispahan by Faur'e was also good listening material. However, any num- Der of grand selections are awaiting you collectors of classical albums.
 These are not all of the new selections. There are any num- Der of Victor recordings from England which though slight ly higher than American Vic tor records are sometimes | worth the small sacrifice.

Boat IS Gift To
King

OSLO-Insistent demands from
all parts of Norway concerning
disposal of the King Haakon
Birthday Fund, now being collect
ed for presentation to Norway's
king on August 3rd - his 18th
birthday have forced a change in
the Fund Committees original
plans. At that time it was stated
that King Haakon would himself
determine to what purpose the
funds would be put.
Since then, however, letters from
all parts of the country have asked
for assurance that this be a per-
sonal gift-that this time the king
use all the money, or a part of it,
for himself. Hitherto-thanks to
the Kings generosity - similar
gifts have found their way into a
variety of charities and worthy I'M
dertakings, with little remaining
in the form of personal gift.
With an increasing flow of let
tiers and protests, the Fund Com
mittee has now visited King
Haakon and received word that if
this be the peoples wish, he would
like to have boat of his own. The
nearest thing to a Royal Yacht
that Norway has ever known, is
the now dilapidated "Heimdal' on
which King Haakon arrived in
Norway in 1905.
In various stages of disrepair
since before World War /, the
"Heimdar' has served as every
thing from a naval vessel, to a
guard-house for hayward Nor
wegian soldiers in Scotland during
the last war. Norwegians are now
assured that their present to their
king on his 18th birthday will be in
the form of a personal gift.
Funds in excess will be disposed
of according to the Kings wishes.

great beauty in its dramatic de-
velopment of this story from the
Old Testament.
Thomas Laub 1852 1920
brought renaissance to Danish
church music. He hailed back to
the Lutheran chorals from about
155O-16OO, and either restored the
old chorals to their original form
or composed new ones in the
style of that period.
Different trends pervade Danish
music. From Johan Ernst Hart
mann, line emphasizing the
northern heritage passes via
Claus Schall (1757-1S35), compos-
er of ballets ("Lagertha") to L.
p. E. Hartmann. But Hartmann's
tone language also has deep roots
in that of Weyse, and Weyse's
cantata-art was taken up and
continued by Hartmann. In Dan
ish ballad-writing line from
Weyse-Kuhlau leads via Heise and
Henrik Rung (1807-187D to
LANCE Miller and Carl Nielsen. In
the. strophic form Thomas Laub
and Carl Nielsen Intentionally
hail back, seeking inspiration in
I. A. P. Schulz and the Danish
folk songs. Perhaps, in a wider
sense, one might also talk of a
line reminiscent of the folk"song
from Kuhlau -Hill") via
Hartmann ("Little Kirsten") to
Heise ("King and MarshallD.
The nestor of contemporary
Danish composers is Hakon Bor-
resen (1S76- }. He is a pupil OF
Johan Svendsen and in many re-
spects follows up the style of this
Norwegian composer His over
ture THE Normans", recon
struction of one of his youthful
works, is vision set to music
of the old Vikings and their raids
in bygone days on the beaches
of France and England. His two

on Greenland motif, are part of
the regular repertory of the Royal
Danish opera-stage. Hakon Bor-
resen is Chairman of the Associa-
ton of Danish Tone-Artists and
of the Music Council, the organ
officially representing music in its
relation to the State.
Among the composers of the
generation preceding World War
l who won a name for themselves
before that war, we may mention
Peder Gram (1S81 }; Herman
Standby 1881 }; N, o. Raasted
(1SSs }; and Poul Schierbeck
(1S88 J. Peder Gram has won
particular acclaim for his orches-
trail works comprising two SYM
phonies, a number of overtures
and the fine "Poeme lyrique". He
is now Musical Director Of the
Danish State Radio. Herman
Standby, in his younger days, was
internationally known as cellist.
He has created a great number
of impressionistic orchestral
works, tinged with romanticism.
N. o. Raasted holds the position
of organist in the Copenhagen
Cathedral. He is known for his
organ-compositions, his chamber
music and his many songs. Poul
Schierbeck is a pupil of Carl Mel
sen. He too has enriched the
Danish song-treasury with many
new works. For the Royal Thea
tire he has composed the opera
"Fete galante".
The generation which put its
musical imprint on the years be-
/ tween the two world wars holds
such names as Ebbe Hamerik
(1S9S J; Finn Hoffding (1S99-)
Jorgen Benton 1887 J; ano
Knudage Riisager (1S97 }. The
main characteristic of Ebbe Ham
| erik'S compositions is grave SCI
iousness, evidenced in the finest
way in his latest opera The
Travelling Companion" which hae
it's premiere in Copenhagen II
1916. Among his other works fol
the stage, the operas "Stepan'
and Leonardo de Vinci' hav'
been given performances in Ant
werp. Finn Hoffding who has
name as a fine pedagogue ant
author of a manual in harmony
has won particular recognition
with his imaginative orchestra
phantasy: ut is quite certain
and his chamber music. Jorge1

perhaps partly due to the fact
that he was a public of Albert
Roussel Among the youngest we
would also mention Svend S.
Schultz 1913 } and Left Kayser
1919 J. Svend S. Schultz is the
music critic of the newspaper
"Politiken," and his own piano
works and symphonies have crea-
ted quite a sensation. During 1889
and 1910 Left Kayser composed
two symphonies and number of
other works, but in recent years
his production has been scant.
This list contains only small
selection of the many musicians
who through their activity as
composers have contributed their
share to Danish musical life and
have put their stamp on it. With
out completing the list We might
still add the following names:
Rudolph Simonsen 1SS9 J, at
present Director of the Royal
Danish Conservatory of Music,
who has written five symphonies;
Emilius Bangert (1Ss3 y cantor
at the Cathedral of Roskilde; j.
L. Emborg (1876 } who has
mostly devoted his talents to
choral music; Rued Langgaard
1888 J who in his symphonic
works of weaving and interlacing
harmonies resumes and continues
the Schumann-Gade style; kai
Senstius 1850 : }; Erling Brene
(1896-); Flemming Weis $685.
Finn Videro (1906 }, a highly
regarded organ-player who, in adj
dition to organ music, has written
piano pieces and songs; Frant7
Syberg (19O4 J who is the auth
or of remarkable symphony
the chief conductor of the Roya
, Theatre, Johan Hye Knudser
1896 J, and the two conduc
tors of the State radio, Erik Tux

(18S6 J.
