Peerce and Stoder

Two of the foremost singers
of our time. tenor Jan Peerce
and soprano Maria Stader,
are featured IN three West
minister issues. In one, they
combine their talents for a
memorable performance of
the too-seldom-heard Bee
thoven oratorio, Christ on
the Mount of Olives. With
Peerce cast as Jesus. Miss
Stader as the Seraph and
bass Otto Wiener as Peter.
this excellent performance
also includes the Vienna
State Opera Orchestra and
Chorus with Hermann Scher-
chen conducting.
In his solo record, Peerce
sings an all-Handel program
with the orchestra, Hans
Schwieger conducting. If the
sound is not quite up to snuff,
1t will be forgotten as Peerce
swings into repertory from
Handel's best-known operas.
Peerce sings with heart, head
and spirit.
Miss Stader's solo contribu-
ton is a lieder program of
Schumann, Mozart and Schu-
bert. with the noted pianist
Joerg Demus, assisting. Miss
Stader's sweet voice is readily
adapted to the more intimate
song style.

Red Cross Centenary
BY BELMONT FAIRIES
Star Stamp Editor

More than 80 postal ad-
ministrations are expected to
join this year in marking the
centenary of the Red Cross.
The worldwide league of
national societies, with head
quarters in Geneva, was
founded through the efforts
of a Swiss banker, Jean Hen
RI Dunant, who developed the
idea of a neutral humanitari-
an organization in 1859, after
witnessing the battle of Sol
ferino In Northern Italy, one
Of the bloodiest conflicts of
the 10Th century.
When more than 10000
casualties - French, Italian
and Austrian-were left on
the battlefield Dunant or
ganized volunteer groups in
Castiglione to care for the
victims.
Coming to a church where
some of the wounded had
been placed, Dunant saw a
French soldier throwing a
wounded Austrian down the
stairs. I'VE can hardly care
for our own," the man ex-
planned.
"Tutti fratelli!" Gall men
are brothersD, Dunant re-
piled, and ordered the
Frenchman to help him get
the Austrian into a hospital
"Tutti fratelli!" became the
watchword of the townspeo-
pie aiding the wounded, and
the idea behind the Red
Cross. Dunant told of his ex-
periences in "A Memory of
Solferino," published in 1862.
The next year he was one of
five prominent citizens of &C.
neva named to explore the
possibilities of an interna-
tional agreement on treat
ment of wounded and pris-
oners of war. Plans for an
organization were developed
at a meeting of 36 delegates
from 16 nations in Geneva
October 26-29, 1868. Actual
signing of the convention
took place August IL, 1864.
Dunant is pictured on Ko-
rea's souvenir sheet for the
centenary, released on May 8,
his birthday. The two avon
stamps issued for the occa-
sion include the centenary
symbol. a stylized oil lamp
and Red Cross design pro-

tribute to the profound study
the Bulgarian baSSo has ap-
piled to the work.
The Christoff instrument
is a thing of awe and beauty,
and of itself worth the price
of the album. But it would
be ungrateful to suggest
Christoff is the whole three
ring show.
Around him are plotters in
the dark, brooding drama
who can sing and act-tenor
John Lanigan as Prince Shut
sky, tenor Dimitri Ouzounov
as the pretender Dimitri, So
prano Evelyn Lear (the for
mer Washington singer as
Marina and bass Anton Dia-
kov as the monk Rangoni.
Excepting minor flaws to
be found in any undertaking
so vast, here is a Godounov
of high merit. Some may say
that Conductor Andre Cluv-
tens did not capture the full
dramatic force, or that there
are minor lapses in the en-
gineering.
But, overall, the technical
quality of the sound is of the
finest Angel has produced for
opera. and that is good. in
deed. The chorus of the Ma
tional Opera of Sofia is sim
ply great-a tremendous fac
tor in this opera. This is the
Rimsky- -Korsakov souped up
version, which though it
draws some critical fire, still
is far more popular today
than the original score by
MoussorgSky.

cLOSE-UPS AND LONG SHOTS
Going on Vacation?
Check Your Camera

Before leaving on a long
vacation trip, chances are
the average motorist will
have his car serviced and
checked carefully at the
neighborhood garage.
This same vacationer, how
ever, isn't apt to be quite
as careful with the camera
he's taking along to make
a picture record of the trip.
And if the vacation pic
lures aren't up to par, he
may blame the film manu-
facturer or the photofinisher.
What can the vacationer
do to guard against the pos
sibility of missing or spelling
some outstanding pictures?
Perhaps the single most
important consideration is
the camera. Just as a car
is inspected to be sure it's
in good running order, so
too should a camera be
checked out to be certain
it's working properly.
Use Test Roll of Film
The easiest and best way
to do this is to shoot a test
roll of film black -and-white
will fill the bill before your
vacation. Expose half the
roll outdoors, and the other
half indoors with flash. If the
pictures are satisfactory, you
can be reasonably certain the
camera is working properly.
With an old camera that
has not been used for sew
eral years, a visual inspec-
ton may indicate the need
for cleaning, repairs, or both.
Either service can be OBJ
tanned by taking your camera
to a camera store, or send
ing it to the manufacturer.
Flash attachments and
batteries are another i'm
portant consideration. Check
the contact points on the
