is a robust and CHEEKY man
whose mere presence generates
an affection for him in his audi

He and his supporting musi-
clans launch their program with

siderable musical ground. Mr..
Melchior. of course, can r'ar back
and rattle the rafters if the &C.

several moments. He's pretty
fine in anything from a Grieg
love song to II Pagliacci" to a
romantic duet with Miss Angelina
Collins.
Miss Collins, a young soprano,
is the decorative touch in the
Melchior show. The other two
who join in are William Chap

and George Roth, pianist. who
injects part of the Grieg piano
