Stuhl,Peabody Recital Has Skill But No Gusto
By ED GARICH
Perhaps it was the cold weather. Maybe we didn't eat enough vitamins yesterday. Whatever the reason, it remains that the faculty recital featuring the efforts of Irene Peabody and Raymond Stuhl last night in Frank Strong auditorium failed to live up to expectations.
The first offering, by Miss Peabody, was the aria "Air de Saiome" from 'Herodide" (Mossenet). Miss Peabody did well in choosing this little litty to warm up on. It suited her voice.
Next on the program came the "Sonata in E Minor" (Brahms) for cello and piano. Mr Stuhl was aided by Mrs. Stuhl on this venture, and very creditably, too. Although we do not argue with Mr. Stuhl's technique, we are willing to gnaw a bone with him about the matter of interpretation. We frankly expected greater things from the number than we received, because we are great admirers of Mr. Brahms' work. We remained singularly unimpressed.
Returning to Miss Peabody, we come to her second group. It consisted of four German "Iieder," "Alte Liebe" (Brahms), "Gesang Weyla's" (Wolf), "Wenn du zu den Blumen gehst" (Wolf), and "Mit deinen blauen Augen" (Strauss). The first three may be placed safely in one class, sentiment in large quantities; the fourth was generally like them, but it was more nearly suited to Miss Peabody's voice. The first three were not so happily chosen, methinks. Miss Peabody appeals to us as a mezzo-sobrano of the hearty, slap-on-the-back variety. We greatly admire Miss Peabody when she lets go on the more dramatic things, but the little heart-breakers we do wish she would leave to the lyric sopranos. We like a Peabody lusty.
Mr. and Mrs. Stuhl appeared again at this point, and proceeded to entertain the audience with a group of three numbers, "Adagio and Allegro" (Boccherini), "Come Sweet Death" (Bach), and "Cappriccio" (Hindemith). Mr. Stuhl's selection was good. The Bach number was as usual, moving. The "Cappriccio," a modern thing, in the worst sense of the word, was as well played as such things ought to be. Mr. Stuhl was much more entertaining here, as well as retaining his faultless technical excellence.
Miss Peabody closed the program with a group of American songs, a thing uncommon in the continental United States. All were well done, although the first two, "Thy Beauty Haunts Me" (Smith) and "Love's Communion" (Smith) were just what their titles brand them. The last two gave Miss Peabody the chance to show she was made of sterner stuff. "War" (Rogers) was an unusual little number, featuring great contrasts. "Song of Faith" (Posamanck) was also of the stouter variety of music.
All in all, the evening was well spent. Maybe we expected too much. After all, they're not getting as much money as Kirsten Flagstad and Gregor Piatagorsky.
A crowd of about 400 was present.
Ed Vaughn, engineering sophomore, who underwent a tonsillectomy at Watkins Memorial hospital Friday, was dismissed Monday.

of the gown. On this stole the letters, K.U. are embroidered in crimson.
The director's gown is slightly different, having sleeves gathered at the wrist to facilitate conducting and a somewhat larger satin stole over the shoulders.
The choir will appear in four unaccompanied numbers at the Sunday Vesper program. They will also sing one number with the University Symphony Orchestra.

Red Cross Drive Continues On Hill
Solicitors in the University drive for Red Cross contributions began their tour of the various houses on the campus yesterday in an effort to collect the total sum of $750, the goal set for the University drive.
Downtown merchants have been asked to display their Red Cross flags to aid in the drive, which will continue until Nov. 30. The Boy Scouts and the American Legion are also aiding in the drive, by distributing posters. Three downtown stores are co-operating with displays advertising the organization in their windows. These displays can be seen at the Royal Shoe Shop. Weavers and the House building.
Letters have also been sent to the teachers in rural schools in this campaign.
