THE WEEK

Drummer Man Turns Singer
Musicians or rather instru-
mentalists, to be precise - who
fancy themselves as possessors Of
THE VOICE and thus strike out as
singers may be doing themselves
an injustice. At least, some fans
think so. Recently I overheard an
opinion expressed on this move
ment-it has long since ceased to
be a trend-and II was not at all
complimentary. In most cases, the
instrumentalist just doesn't pos
sess THAT VOICE.
This observation was brought on
by a 12-inch LIP Just out, entitled
THE VOICE Is RICH" featuring
Buddy Rich fronting his orchestra
and singing IL favorites Of other
years. Buddy, as you no doubt
know, is a jack Of all trades, en-
tertainment-wise. Once an actor
vaudeville, movies and TV); lead
er of his own band in the early
jazz era and subsequently small
units, Rich, in the jazz picture,
stands out chiefly for his work on
the skins. Yet it seems he must
have acclaim as singer.
This is not Rich's first expert
ment with vocalizing. He was on
LIP before with something called
BUDDY RICH SINGS" But this
waxing for Mercury seems a better
effort and thus win decide whether
he Is an also-ran, or a conner. His
choice Of material is good -

However, individual taste win de-
eide whether Buddy makes the
grade or founders. Personally, ]
rather think Of him as drummer
band leader. He fits there well. In

is tops.

DInah Scores Again

Dtnah Scores Again
Dinah Washington, who recently
has been turning out hit tunes
with production-line regularity, has
still another one going strong for
her on Mercury. This time, how
ever, it is an entire LIP, instead
of a single. Entitled WHAT A
DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES"
(the title of her juke box hit
single), featured are IL slow
ballads sung in the warm, solicit
uous style which distinguishes
Dinah. No blues in her repertoire,
but that hardly makes a difference,
as the songs treated here are all
appealing. II Won't Cry Any More"
(another juke hit) seems to rival
the title tune. Also, this waxing Is
better than Dina's previous release,
THE QUEEN, same label al

Worried Blues

with a novelty twist. The singers
are. also fine showmen. On their
latest Capitol effort, they are again
in top form as they sing their cuf-
rent hit, "A WORRIED MAN."
and II other ballads, some such as
Across the Wide Missouri and
The Unfortunate Miss Bailey"
As might be expected, the trio is
bounding with energy on this LIP,
called HERE WE GO AGAIN,
which comes in both monaural and
stereo. If you like folk songs that
are bouncey, then you'll enjoy this
entry by this popular group.
Singlewise, the Platters are out
with an offering called What
Does It Matter" flip, my Secret"
for Mercury which is solid. Both
songs are sung In the ballad-with-
a-bit fashion so characteristic Of
the PIatters, with the Eddie Beal
orchestra giving a big assist. If
not a hit, this one should hold the
PIatters until another big one
comes their way.

Father Upheld
On Custody

The Municipal Court Of APP
pealS here yesterday upheld a
Maryland court decree giving
custody of a child to husband,
even though the child's mother
was a District resident at the
time of the decree.
The landmark ruling re-
suited from a chain of cir
cumStances that started last
fall when the husband, Norbert
Kraft of 5000 Manchester road,
Silver Spring, sued his wife
for divorce in Maryland, seek
ing custody of their 112-year-
old daughter.
The mother of the child, Mrs.
Edith Kraft of 18 Hawaii
avenue NE. was living in Mary
land when the divorce COM
plant was filed and was served
with a copy of the complaint
there. She moved to the Dis
trict with the child, however
when the divorce was granted
and custody order given to her
husband.
Mr.. Kraft then went to the
Domestic Relations Court in
the District and was successful
in gaining a court order here
which backed up the decree o1
the Maryland court.
In appealing the Domestic
Relations Court ruling, attor-
neys for Mrs. Kraft cited g
Supreme Court decision, claim,
ing that the Maryland decree
was illegal because she was not
within the Maryland jurisdic'
ton.
However, Judge Thomas D
Quinn, writing an unanimou'
opinion of the Municipal Courr
of Appeals yesterday, said tha
the Maryland court had juris'
diction since Mrs. Kraft liveC
in the State and was serveC
with a copy of the divorce com
plant there.

Claude Debussy'S "Pelleas ct
Melisande" had its first Wash
ington performance last night
at the Lisner Auditorium, and
you can bet that this one will
be talked about for many a
day in local music circles.
Washington has waited some
81 years for a look at the piece
one great music critic called
the perfect music drama" and
another the perfect bore"
Thanks to the initiative of the
Opera Society, you, too. can
join the battle by merely going
down to the handsome CIV
auditorium, paying the appro-
pirate fee and reacting to an
imaginative, beautifully sung
'Pelleas ct Melisande."
One of the big reasons why
"PelleaS" has been rejected
don't think that is inaccurate
by the average "Pagliacci" or
aida" lover is that DebuSSy
had some pretty original ideas
about how to write an opera.
For this subtle genius, opera
was something much different
than drama articulated by mu-
sic (aS it was for the old man
Verdi, or overwhelming SYM
phonic poem (aS it was for
Wagner. The ideal was the
sung play. And, obviously, not
any play would do-the play
had to be incomplete in a sense,
giving the composer a chance
to realize in full half-hinted
meanings, to reveal truths that
could only be spoken in music
and not in words.
Almost Miracle
To realize such an ideal and
to find such a play was obvi-
ouSly impossible-and yet De-
buSsey came close to achieving
the miracle. The story that set
him on fire was a strange, di-
aphanous tragedy dealing with
myStifying. unreal beings, vague
symbolisms and gentle sadnesses
by Maurice Maeterlinck, a Bel
gian poet of limited but gen.
uine talent.
Debussy took Maeterlinck'S
"Pelleas and Melisande" and
except for a few minor cuts
enveloped it in a fairy web OF
music, preserving each WORD
intact, as if it were a precious
jewel. And such a sorcerer was

Three Indicted
In Wicomico

SALISBURY, Md, Nov. 18
(AP).-A grand jury has in
dicted three former Wicomico
County Liquor Board members
for an alleged $32,60O shortage
covering a seven-year span.
The jurors also recommended
that future boards be composed
of two members of a majority
party and one of a minority
party.
Judge Rex A. Taylor set bond
at $500 each yesterday for H.
Wendell Henry and Robert D.
Grier, jr., both of Salisbury,
and Harold Bounds of Allen,
Nd, who were indicted for
misfeasance and nonfeasance.
The three Republicans con-
stituted the liquor board prior
to June /, 1859, and were in
dicted after the jury'S investi-
cation of the alleged shortage
at two county owned liquor dis
pensaries in Salisbury, report
edly occurring between 1852
and June, 1859.
Five indictments were re-
turned against each of the
three, one for each year from
1955-1959 inclusive. The charges
included failure to report
known shortages or give COM
plete statements of business
transactions to the Wicomico
County commissioners.
