...Yale Club will open the program with four numbers: "Fight," a student song of Finland, by R. Faltin; "By Moonlight," by von Othegraven, a tenor solo; "Waters Ripple and Flow," a Czecho-Slovakian folk song arranged by Deems Taylor, sung by J. VanB. Griggs; "Danse Macabre" by Saint Saens. The Harvard singers will follow with three selections: "Give a Rouse" by Bantock; "Der Gang Zum Liebchen" by Brahms; "Fire, Fire My Heart" by Morley. The first part of the program will then be concluded by the joint rendition of several choruses from the Gilbert and Sullivan opera, "The Mikado...
...last week, Serafina di Leo lay abed in a clutter of flowers, telegrams and Sunday papers. A great deal had happened to her in three years. She had studied diligently in Italy, learned to speak pure Italian instead of the dialect on which she had been raised. She had sung at the Scala and in Genoa. With lips vermilion-red and finger nails to match, she returned to the U. S. this autumn to find herself good copy because she was a New Jersey laborer's daughter and at 19 had a five-year contract with the Chicago Civic...
...expected that Yale will send 60 singers to participate in the performance. Two or three of the numbers on the program will be sung by both Clubs in collaboration. Probably the choruses from the "Mikado," by Gilbert and Sullivan; the choruses from "The Gondoliers," by the same composers, and the college songs will be jointly performed. Among the selections to be given by the Harvard singers will be "Give a Rouse," Bantock; three English folk songs; the Harvard football songs; and "Der Gang zum Liebchen," by Brahms...
...Ponselle weighed 205 lb., moved awkwardly about the stage, sang in a big, booming voice which often lacked control. Thinner, infinitely more polished, she has progressed until now she alone at the Metropolitan is believed capable of singing the early Italian roles which only the great oldtime singers have sung successfully, roles like Norma, the priestess in La Vestale, Donna Anna in Don Giovanni, operas which might never have been revived if there had not been a voice with the range and flexibility of Ponselle's. She has still much to learn. She will never have the grace of Bori...
...Olivier, a mild spoken English actor with unusually good camera presence, and Lionel Barrymore. Barrymore, the best leerer in his family, achieves facial contortions of unparalleled eloquence; he has added a scratchy guffaw to his paraphernalia of lechery. Good shot: the scene in a cabaret in which a song sung by the performers reminds Barrymore where he first saw Elissa Landi...
