TRUE REVIVAL FOR GERMANY

Two news items from Germany
illustrate a central problem of
occupation. One reports that in
the American zone Germans are
enjoying their first nonausterity
Christmas season in almost 10
years. Probably it would s till
look like austerity to most Amer
leans, but t h g currency reform
has brought real goods out onto
the store shelves once more.
All who are not vengeful will
welcome this easing Of the lot of
people who have suffered much.
But on the same newspaper page
we read that the British Military
Governor has founl it necessary
to speak out against a revival of
militaristic spirit in west Ger
many. General Robertson warns
Germans against believing re-
INFLAMMATION rumors. He reminds
them t h a t the Western Allies
fought the war to break German
military power, and that t h e y
are not going to restore it-even
under the threat Of Russian out
pushing.
General Clay, tn e American
Military Governor, has also just
reprimanded a German magazine
for emphasizing military articles
and illustrations. Anyone who
has felt the thrill of patriotism
must sympathize with Germans
who wish to take pride once more
in their country. But surely there
have been hard enough lessons
for them-and 0 r their neigh

that this year marks the thirty-fifth
observance of this week the Sci

forth strenuous effort to pre-
sent a superior program,
One class in science under the
tutorship of Mrs Dorothy Foster
presented an original skit written
by two ninth grade girls Annie
Waugh and Billy Johnson, The IL
tie of the skit was "A Struggle of
Negro Doctors. The skit showed
how ignorance had caused med
ical science to have difficulty in
getting people to loose their sup
erstitions and yield to medical
advice. Another part of the as
sembly was a movie secured by
Nurse Alexander on Mental
Health. This picture caused us to
realize more wildly how poor
mental health can seemingly cause
chronic physical ailments. 1t caus-
ed teachers to realize what del

with us: We should all try to live

other week health week.

from Puccini's "Tosca," which he
gave as an encore. The languages
may have helped his tone produc-
ton or the numbers appealed to
him specially. At any rate, here,
suddenly, were fine, spun tones,
their forward brilliancy coverd
to give them depth and the
quality filled with warmth and ex-

tifully, with sustained phrases and
with real sentiment. This is the
way the other numbers should
have sounded, for they are just
as worthy.
Mr.. Melton is 50 highly gifted

as my Good Lord Done Been

Evening star., 1949-11-02
By Alice Eversmon

James Melton, tenor OF the
Metropolitan Opera. sang before
Ia near-capacity audience in his
recital last night in Constitution
Hall. The concert was the first
of the special series presented by
Patrick Hayes with the co-spon-
|sorship of the Friday Morning
Music Club. The clubs Founda-
tion Fund for scholarships will
benefit from the receipts Of this
series.
Recitals by Mr.. Melton have be-
come practically annual affairs, to
the delight of his many admirers.
But the pattern Of these pro-
grams does not change nor is
there much divergence in Mr..
Melton's manner of presenting
them. The manly, friendly atti-
tude Of the singer seems to well
come each individual and he
never forgets to thank the au-
dience. before giving an encore,
for its applause. This is a nice
personal approach that lowers all
formal bars between artist and
listener and is certainly to be
recommended. At the same time,
a singer of Mr.. Melton's reputa-
ton has a duty to fulfill and
part Of it is to enlarge the knowl-
edge of his patrons by giving them
diversified programs.
His voice is beautiful and we'll
trained. He does not use it, how
ever, as a vehicle to make known
the vast unknown literature for
the voice or even to beautify what
he does select from the art songs
by every artistic vocal device. He
sings the tender, lovely "Dedica-
ton" by Franz, and Grieg's I'm
Time of Roses" with a blatant,
open tone and a complete disre-
gard for the poetic atmosphere of
both text and music. There is
no Suavity Of line, no play of
color and no climax. The songs
end abruptly without any prep
aration. There seems to be no
inner enchantment directing their
delivery.
Strangely enough, this was not
the case when he sang the French
group. consisting Of the "Recita-
tive ct Air d'Azael" from Debussy's
"L'Enfant Prologue" his Beau
Soir" and Fourdrain's "Carna-
