Grand Opero on TVScreen
Appears Here to Stay
Chotzinoffs Conny Choices Sung in English
Prove Effective; More Due for Rehearsal
By Alice Eversmon

The NBC Television Opera
Theater concludes this month an
other successful season in present
ing opera visually as we'll as
audibly to the American public
In the confines of time and space
at its disposal, the Opera Theater
has been able to undertake a cru
sade to enlist the interest of a
Nationwide audience in the mu-
sic drama. 1t has done so by
choosing good music, sung in
English, by attractive looking
singers. This has proved to be
the most sensible approach to
solving the opera problem. With
success assured, there remains
only the widening of scope to in
clude the great masterpieces. But
definitely, opera on the televiSion
screen is here to stay.
Responsible for the production
of opera on television is Samuel
Chotzinoff. His wide experience
in varied branches of music over
a period of years is invaluable
So, too. is the enthusiasm he
brings to the latest outlet of his
energies. His cozy Office in
Rockefeller Center is dominated
by small grand piano, but other
wise it looks like the sleek setup
of any executive. At the moment
of our visit, he was bubbling over
with enthusiasm for the forth
coming performance of Menot-
It's "Amahl and the Night Visi-
tors" then due for it's second
televiSing Easter Sunday. This
first opera composed specifically
for televiSion on a commission
from NBC, proved triumphantly
that great and beautiful effects
can be projected and dramatic
tension maintained in the hour
Of screening.
Letters Prove Popularity
In the three years that opera
has been given on television, Mr.
Chotzinoff has had ample proof
of its popularity. This comes in
the form of letters from what he
calls opera addicts" and from
those who have never heard opera
or seen it but are now won over
to it. He was particularly sur
prised and gratified at the letters
from mothers who said that, al
though the II o'clock hour of the
performance was long past their
children's bedtime, the youngsters
were permitted to watch it be-
cause their parents believed in its
educational value.
Mr.. Chotzinof thinks that one
great angle of appeal lies in the
use of the English text. He has
no patience with what he describes
as the "snobbishness" of those who
insist on opera in the Original
language. Language is so pei
cent of entertainment value" h

FOR Sneef lyrlClSIu IL is OOuOIlul
if any composer has equalled
Schubert. His melodies are the
simplest, yet one longs to hear
them again.
Schubert's eight ImprOmptus
for solo piano are among his
briefest compositions. Yet they
'exemplify his genius in the high
est degree. Composed late in his
career, all are gems. Rudolf
Firkusny performs them all on a
new long-playing Columbia r.
inch disc. Mr.. Firkusny plays well
the recorded sound is rich, and
the music is the kind you'll want
to live with.
Robert Schumann was another
great keyboard lyricist, and his
Carnaval was among his finest
inspirations. The performance
which has come out recently is
not a new one, but it is justly
famous. The pianist is the late
Sergei Rachmaninoff, and the
long playing Victor 10-inch disc j!
an eloquent reminder of his
mastery. The recorded soune
does not suffer from age.
Eight Polonoises
Probably no one in this day o.
radio and movies can fail tt
recognize Chopin's A-fiat Polo
naise. It's been orchestrated, pop
ularized and who knows wha
else-if not quite played to death
AS 1t happens, the Polish piano
poet wrote seven PolOnaises be
sides the A-flat. Artur Rubin
stein plays all eight on tw
new Victor discs Zone 12-inch, tn
other 100. It's old stuff, o
course, to Mr.. R. The only troubl
there is dry piano sound, espe
cially on the larger disc. Prob
ably won't bother admirers of MI
R. (and Chopin.
Beethoven's Ha m m rklavie
Sonata isn't to be recommends
to novices, either for playing o
listening. Many musicians hav
been stumped by it. The lat
Felix Weingartner, a pianist a
well as conductor, felt the plan
didn't do it justice, so he orches
ltrated it for a full symphony. Fo
3first-hearers, its length oftel
3seems insuperable. and its com
lpleXities even more so. But
is profound music. The sloy
movement, in particular, is mem
orable. Egon Petri, we'll know
to Washington concertgoers, doe
better by it than most (Columbie
12-inch.) Recorded sound is yer
clean.
Series on Bach
Keyboard proficiency of anothe
sort is represented in Vol. O
the series called Bach's Royal In
strument columbia, 12-inch
In these issues E. Power Bigg
gradually is recording all of Bach
organ music. This one include
the familiar Little" Fugue in
Minor, the Passacaglia and Fugu
in C Minor and the thrice-famn
lar d Minor Toccata and Fugu
(Stokowski-remember?). For
real treat, though, listen to tn

DEAR MISS NISSEN: A very
dear girl friend of mine is going
with a boy, and planning to marry
him next June. He drinks to ex-
cess and she knows it, but she
claims he will stop once they are
married. He has broken many a
date with her because he was too
drunk to come over. Of course,
she is convinced that she does
not need help, but I am equally
sure she does. ANNE r.
ANSWER: And your conviction
Is so right. Annie! Your friend
is headed for certain unhappi-
ness unless she comes TO her
senses. So many girls have been
taken in byethe meaningless prom
Use Of reform after marriage, and
so many, who are even more fool
ish, believe that marriage will
automatically make a man of a
spineless creature.
If the following statement were
believed by every prospective
bride, unhappy marriage would
become a rarity: No man who
doesn't love a girl enough to try
to overcome his basic bad habits
before marriage will change after
wards. The nuptial ceremony
contains no magic words to Gre
ate character where none exists.

How wonderful it would be il
we never felt tired! Exhaustion
can clip the wings Of our spirit
and make daily life almost un-
bearably dull. When one views
life through the haze Of chronic
fatigue it is like looking at a land
scape with impaired vision.
We do not derive the values we
would otherwise have from the
view, we do not do things we
would have done and enjoyed, we
are often irritable and our humor
and enthusiasm lie gasping for
survival. No matter how vibrant
We usually are. this is the way
we feel when we are weary.
A bigger portion Of energy can
make all the difference in the
world in our enjoyment and per-
sonality and appearance. 1t can
even cause us to hold ourselves
more erectly. During World War
II great headway was made in
discovering the causes of fatigue
This was vital because Of the ne
ceSsity of huge and rapid output
Of the weapons of war.
Some of the facts which stood
out after much experimentation
and research were:
l. Nutrition can make a big diff
ference. Certain vitamin def
ciencies were correlated with IA
tigue. Vitamin lack generally was
often at fault and vitamin G ap-
peared to be a special aid to
greater energy. Midmorning and
midafternoon snacks were found
to build output because they gave
energy q boost.
2. Short rest periods were found
to be invaluable.
3. It was found that even when
working rapidly it was better to
feel relaxed while working. Thus
music was introduced into many
factories.
