...planning, replanning a program for the years 1933-37. Last week on the eighth anniversary of the death of Bolshevism's sainted Lenin, its work was done. Author of the plan was Gosplan Chairman Valerian Kuybyshev, onetime chairman of the Supreme Eco-omic Council, who looks like an Italian tenor. Sang...
Steuart Wilson, well-known English tenor, and former member of the English Singers group, will render a series of songs this evening in the John Knowles Paine Concert Hall of the Music Building at 8.15 o'clock. Mr. Wilson, who gave a concert in the Music Building on this date last year, is an authority on the interpretation of Bach and Folk music. The concert is under the auspices of the Division of Music, the staff of which has gotten Mr. Wilson to come to Cambridge on his tour of America. The singer will be accompanied by Dalles Frantz...

The setting among the Incas of 16th Century Peru was new for opera but the story was just another version of the one where the soprano saves the tenor by promising herself to the baritone, then cheats by committing suicide and boasting about it beforehand. The soprano in this case was Rosa Ponselle who sang superbly but looked funny in a Pocahontas get-up luring the Spanish tyrant (Baritone Mario Basiola). The tenor was Brooklyn-born Frederick Jagel who increased his stature but not his dignity by wearing an enormous headpiece ludicrously like the Mad Hatter...
