Unfortunately, there was
no talking machine when
Abraham Lincoln was utter
ing his words Of wit and wis

son to be grateful for men
like Carl Sandburg and Roy
p. Basler who have made
careers of assembling and
revitalizing these priceless
documents.
Many Of the more famous
bits of Lincolniana are now
available on q two-record
Spoken Arts album. On one
side Mr.. Sandburg is heard
delivering his moving address
to Congress on Lincoln's
150th birthday, February IL,
1859.
On the other three sides
Mr.. Basler reads from the
great Presidents speeches

dox of terrible storm and
peace unspeakable and

How the flint rings as the

how the mist enshrouds his

Holland Puts
Festival in
II Cities
BY CONSTANCE MELLEN
ContributinE Writer

AMSTERDAM. = A new
conner arriving in the Neither
lands to attend the Holland
Festival finds that his first
sensation is sheer astonish-
ment. The ambitious Festival
management has not only
devised an extremely inter-
esting program. but has
strewn its events over q
dozen cities.
Theater housing ballet,
drama, concerts, and opera,
are located in Arnhem,
HARLEM, Tilburg, Utrecht,
and elsewhere, as well as in
the busy Amsterdam -Rotter-
dam Hague triangle. The
visitor must keep his wits
about him, choose one event
per evening, and start from
whatever point he has
judged to be the center.
The Hague
In The Hague's Konink-
like Schouwberg we saw our
first performance, q gala
"Nozze di Figaro"
This is a typical small
house seating no more than
800 with three tiers Of
ornamented boxes and q
handsomely frescoed ceiling.
A spacious orchestra pit and
fine acoustics are features
typical Of most old houses.
The brilliant international
Figaro" cast featured
Giuseppe Taddei in the title
role, Graziella Sciutti as
Susanna, Hermann Prey as
the Count, and Teresa
Berganza as Cherubino. Prey
provided the best singing Of
the evening and Berganza
triumphed in her part. Carlo
Maria Giulini conducted with
authority and the musical
side Of the opera ran
smoothly. but there was a
feeling that the stage direcr
tor had decided to let the
group Of experienced lumi-
naries run things, to the
detriment Of the plot-action.
In Amsterdam
Our second evening took
us to Amsterdam for q con-
cert by the Netherlands
Chamber Orchestra In the
Concertgebouw.
This famed building houses
an auditorium Of noble pro-
portions. High above the
center of the back stage, be-
tween Bach and Handel,
towers q magnificent organ.
Below it, two blocks Of stage
seats flow down q steep slope
towards the podium. Every
thing is upholstered in red
plush, and the music has q
mellow, slightly diffuSed
sound that is very attractive.
