FAMED CONTRALT0
 SINGS FAv0RITES
 FOR JUNEAUITES

Carol Brice, Negro contralto who rates superlatives from Americas foremost music critics, is thrilled about the concert she will give here this evening.
 Coming to Alaska is a new and wonderful experience" she said in an interview at the Baranof Hotel a few hours after her arrival from New York City.
 My first impression of the Men denhall Glacier, for instance, was like that of first seeing Califor- mia redwoods a realization of the millions of years that belong to us and to our arts. I know shall gain a depth of interpreta- tion through this Alaska tour
 Friendly and vivacious, Miss Brice enjoys chatting about her family-husband Neil Scott and four -year-old Neil, Jr.,-about her career and her travels, but most of all, today, about Alaska. Before talk ing quick turn around Juneau, she wrote enthusiastic letters home to dispel typical illusions about the "farthest reach
 She yearns for a pair of Eskimo boots" and wonders what Manhat- tan would think of herself in a fur parka. She feels fortunate to be singing here and also at Anchor age (Friday) and Fairbanks (Sun- day)
 How does she select the pro- gram for a city like Juneau, with little knowledge of it's musical taste? Here is her answer: For Juneau, chose one of my favorite programs. I find that people ev- crywhere enjoy the worlds finest music, whether familiar or new to them. It is a challenge to my interpretation, aided by program notes, to make unfamiliar music a new pleasure"
 To those in the audience who may speculate about such things, Miss Brice, youngest of a family of four children. is accompanied at the piano by her brother, Jona- than, eldest child. Miss Brice says he is her ideal accompanist, of such ability that he really is equipped to coach.
 As to the encores Miss Brice might sing tonight, she always an- nounces any that might not be familiar to the audience. Her program concert ranges from early Italian, through German lieder, opera, modern and tradi- tional Negro folk songs.
 Sponsored by the Juneau Con- certs Association, tonight's con- cert will be at 8:30 o'clock in the 2Gth Century Theatre
