VIRGINIA D DAVES C0NCERT THURsDAy WILL END SERlEs

Virginia Davis, soprano, who Will appear at the 20th Century Theatre Thursday in her Portraits of Song," with Gwendolyn Williams, pianist as her accompanist, is the artist chosen by Maxim Schapiro for the last concert of the 1950-5l series of the Alaska Music Trail.
 MT. Schapiro, famous pianist who arranged with Alaska concert associations for the Alaska Music Trail programs, is already inter- viewing artists in New York fol next seasons concert series.
 A member of a distinguished mu- sical family, Virginia Davis has grown up in music. Her father is Never Davis, famous Band Macs tro. and her mother is Hilda Emery Davis, composer known for her de- Iightful arrangements of childrens songs. World citizen No. ] Garry Davis. who renounced his American citizenship in Paris in 1948 to be- come the first world citizen"-only to apply again for his United States citizenship-is Miss Davis brother. Her aunt and close friend is Mrs Pierre Monteaux, wife of San Fran cisco's beloved symphony conduc- tor.
 The unique quality and original character of the Virginia Davis programs. due to her keen sense of the dramatic and fine flair for comedy have made critics enthusi- astic in their praise of this youns singer actress.
 Of interest is the column of Paul Hume (the Washington, D. C., crl- tic who recently incurred the wrath of President Truman by his criti- cism of Margaret Truman's voice) Written in the Washington Post soon after his criticism of the DrcSlQc1lJ QdueliCCA, OAiO NoidAiAii " MT Hume is headed ''Postlude" and begins:
 If I may venture to express an opinion
 Virginia Davis, who sang an un- usual program, of folk and art songs in the Phillips Gallery yesterday afternoon, is a young lady of out standing gifts and talents"
 The N. f. Herald Tribune critic said: "She has a beautiful lyric voice, completely under her com mand for the variety of things she wishes to do with it."
 Gwendolyn Williams, her accom- panist, has been the accompanist of the famous Lo'te Lehman, who recently announced her retirement from the concert stage.
 Miss Davis and Miss Williams will arrive in Juneau Thursday from their concerts in the interior and will leave Friday for their Sitka concert.

The entire Alabama delegation
in Congress was stood up, as
the saying goes, for lunch on Fri
day but none of the southern gen.
tlemen had a criticism to make OF
the missing guest of honor. The
Alabama legislators gathered in
the Speakers private dining room,
which outgoing Representative
Sam Hobbs obtained for the occa-
sion, but they ate their midday
meal without actor Edward Ar
mold, the reason for the party. Nfr.
Arnold didn't appear because he
was making a speech to a civic
group and he was seeing the Pres
ident. You really can't hold that
sort of thing against man, the
gentlemen thought.
Judge Hobbs says that Arnold
who spent $1,000 of his own
money on getting II Am An Amer
ican Day" established in 1910,
does a lot of good making patrl-
otic speeches and doing his MIR
President" series on the radio. He
probably picked up an anecdote
from the current President on
Friday. The Alabamans would
have been happier if Arnold's
leading lady native Alabaman
Frances Waller, had appeared in
his place, but she was whipping
around with her parents. doing
