Concert c Coincidence Debunks
Pretensions in a Happy Way

But the climax of the evening
and of her artistry was her
analysis of Wagner's 1.-THE Ring
of the Nibelungs." Previously
she had said that you can do
anything in opera provided you
Sing it," but her analysis of the
Ring" was a story, as clever a
synopsis Of the plot as win ever
be heard. It was Offset by an
amusing lesson on How to write
your own Gilbert and Sullivan
opera"
Oh, well. you Just can't de-
scribe Anna Russell. She is in
a class by herself. There was
more laughter in Constitution
Hall last night than the staid
auditorium has heard in many a
day. But it is a good thing that
some months will elapse before
music in a serious vein is regular
fare there for it will be hard to
forget Miss Russell'S fun making

News Of Music
By Alice Eversmon

Anna Russell, the interna-
tional concert coincidence, is
surely Gods gift to the music
world. Making her local debut
appearance here last night in
Constitution Hall, she debunked
all musical pretensions in way
to have her audience in stitches
throughout the 2-hour program.
It was a stroke of genius on
the part of Patrick Hayes, man
aging director of the American
University Concerts, to close the
season with a good laugh at some
of the things that seem of such
serious import during the rest of
the year.
OF course, it will be difficult
for many in last nights audience
to listen to an opera or concert
singer with a straight face in the
future. Many of Miss Russell's
descriptions and burlesque will
come to mind inevitably. They
will remember her presentation
of the "Habanera" from Car
men," and chuckle at the absurd
ity, or her delivery of the folk
song, II Gave My Love a Cherry"
to the accompaniment of an
imaginary Irish harp.
Sound in Music knowledge.
Miss Russell has made comedy
her forte, but she backs it up
with sound musical knowledge.
She has an excellent voice that
has been well trained, and she
knows musical style. Her por-
trayals are all the funnier be-
cause the audience knows what
she is talking about.
A splendid actress, she can
time her effects exactly and is
equally at home in the French,
German, and Italian idiom. Her
explanations of the numbers APP
peared to be weighted with wis
dom until she sends out her first
arrow of comedy. More often
than not, it held up the per-
Torrance for several seconds
while her listeners controlled
their shouts of glee and wiped
the tears of laughter from their
eyes.
Her program dealt with singers
exclusively, and the first part
offered different songs for differ
ent types. She sang "Ah Lover"
from the operetta THE Prince of
Philadelphia" for loud singers
with no brains" Resonance is
where your brain should be-" she
explained. Then the singer
with tremendous artistry but no
voice" was given in examples of
lieder and French chansons with
screamingly funny directions.
MY Heart Is Red" a sample of
contemporary music for tone
deaf singers" was a gem.

Informed Pentagon sources
said today top security official
in Army Secretary Stevens Of
flee, who was recently ode
tached" from the duty because
he was under fire by Senator Nc
Carthy, is being reinstated.
There are no facts to justify
suspending this man." a Penta-
gon source said.
The official, whose name has
been withheld, served on the
Army's Loyalty Screening Board.
He was questioned last week by
staff members of Senator Nc
Carthy's Investigations subcom-
mittee and shortly thereafter was
detached from his duties.
The Senate subcommittee is
conducting an intensive investi-
cation of suspected espionage at
the Arrny's Fort Monmouth

Official Detached.
In Los Angeles last Saturday
night, Senator Mccarthy said
the official had been detached
from duties because of alleged
activities in Communist-front
organizations.
Senator Mccarthy added he
wanted the official to appear be-
fore his subcommittee for ques-
tioning on why he and other
members of the screening board
so often had reversed lower
boards that found "clean-cut
evidence" of Communist activi-
ties on the part of workers at
Fort Monmouth and elsewhere.
A Pentagon source said an
investigation had revealed moth
ing at all derogatory' against
the official.
After his appearance before
the Mccarthy investigators. it
was learned, the Official was
detached from his duties in the
adjutant generals Office and
assigned to the Pentagon. Then
he was placed on leave while
technically remaining on full
duty and drawing his full pay at
the rate of $10,400 year.
Could Not Be Reached.
The official could not be
reached for comment.
However, another Pentagon
official familiar with the case
outlined what was described as
the thin fabric linking the de-
tached employe with any Com
munist activity.
1t was said that the official,
while serving on the board of
the Greenbelt Cooperative, had
participated in the hiring in 1889
of a physician who had served
with the Spanish Loyalists.
The wife of this physician, it
was said, gave a garden party
and obtained the use of the
officials yard for that purpose.
