By Doy Thorpe

A disappointed clarinetist came
to Washington yesterday to
make music with the only musi-
cal instrument he was born with.
Giovanni Martinelli sang last
night with the Army Band.
Although since 1910, when
Martinelli made his singing de-
but as tenor soloist in RosSini's
"Stabat Mater" he has been an
idol of the operate world, his
career started in an Italian
Army Band, not as first tenor,
but as first clarinet. It was his
bandmaster. who had a good ear
for Verdi. who took him of the
licorice stick and started him on
the road to the leading tenor
roles of Aida" 'Rigoletto, 7"
Carmen" and "Otello."
Yesterday he returned to an
army band, not primarily either
to sing or play the clarinet, but
to introduce his protege, Michael
Bartlett, perhaps most widely
known as the young tenor In the
famous Marx Brothers picture
"A Night at the Opera"
Martinelli, who is So, and who
for several years has restrained
himself from continuing with the
celebrating but physically ex-
hausting business of the operate
stage, was in the best of health
and of voice in his suite in the
Raleigh Hotel.

Mary And Her

Thanksgiving

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio R - It's
generally known that Abraham
Lincoln proclaimed the annual
Thanksgiving Day observance
back in 1868.
Likewise, the words and verses
to Mary Had q Little Lamb" are
pretty familiar to most Americans.
But how many know that
much of the credit for the obser-
vance Of Thanksgiving is due to
the same woman who wrote the
famous nursery rhyme?
Well, it is, according to a Witten-
berg College professor who be-
ieves Sara Josepha Hale, author
of Mary" was the one who
spurred President Lincoln into
making the holiday proclamation.
DR.. Paul F. Bloomhardt, head
of the department of biography at
Wittenberg, spoke on the history
of Thanksgiving today at 4 school
assembly.
Observance of the holiday had
been sporadic and localized until
Lincoln's term. It wasn't until Mrs.
Hale proposed in 1851 ito have
the day Of our annual Thanksgiv-
ing made a national and fixed
Union festival that the event was
proclaimed a national holiday, ac-
cording to DR.. Bloomhardt.

The total sum of money paid to

amounted to SOS, 900.
Of the los people brought to the

In a number of instances he said
it was possible for the Chamber to
