S. R. O. For First Recital
By ED GARICH, e'41 Joseph and Marie Wilkins hung out the S.R.O. sign last night in Frank Strong auditorium, and then gave one of their usual fine performances. From 600 to 700 people attended, it was estimated today. One hundred additional chairs were added to supplement the 500 seats which the auditorium usually offers, and still about 100 people had to stand in the halls.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilkins' professional training and experience were plainly evident in the recital, and convincing showmanship added to the pleasurable experience.
The first group gave some idea of the versatility of the pair, consisting of "O Lovely Peace" from Judas Maccabaeus (Handel), and "hr Schonen aus der Stadt" (Haydn). The first is a peaceful pastoral number, which required great delicacy of one. The second is a more robust, sparkling number. The duo blended their voices in both numbers to the complete satisfaction of the audience.
Mrs. Wilkins' first solo appearance consisted of the beautiful aria, "Leise, leise" from "Der Freischutz" (von Weber). Mrs. Wilkins succeeded in capturing the wistful air of the moonlight vigil which the number portrays.
Mr. Wilkins then appeared in a solo group of six numbers, three of them French in origin, the other three being Maurice Ravel's arrangement of three Greek folk songs. The first three numbers, "L'Invitation au Voyage" (Dupare), "Clair de Lune" (Faure), and "Voici que le Printemps" (Debussy), called for fine control of effect, with some beautiful pianissimo singing by Mr. Wilkins. The folk songs, "Chanson de la Mariee," "Quel galant més comparable," and "Tout Gai," gave Mr. Wilkins a chance to display some fine interpretative showmanship.
Mrs. Wilkins' next group was a collection of four popular songs in the concert field, "Ave Marie" (Schubert), "Echo Song" (Norwegian folk song), "O Can Ye Sew Cushions" (Scotch folk song), and "Laughing Song" (Strauss). In the last number, Mrs. Wilkins gave a truly brilliant reading to the audience of a difficult coloratura aria. Mrs. Wilkins' fine work in this number gained her four curtain calls.
The finale of the recital was in the form of a scene from "Rigololetto" (Verdi). The scene, the second of Act 1 of the popular opera, depicts the Duke and Gilda in Gilda's garden. The scene calls for great range of volume, which the pair possesses in abundance.
Winifred Hill, fa'41, was the accompaniist.
Peterson To Hear Male Voices For Modern Choir
Clarence Peterson, c'42, director of the modern choir, will hear applicants for places in the male sections of the choir at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. Peterson said that all of the wmen's places have been filled, but that several men are needed to complete the group. The choir will us 25 voices this year, and will begin its appearances some time this month at a dance, according to the announcement by Peterson.
American Magazine Plugs Band
The University of Kansas band received a spot of national publicity in the November issue of the American magazine. In an article depicting the part a college band plays in thrilling the spectators at football games, the magazine shows a color picture of the University organization's "board of strategy." Included in the picture are Russell L. Wiley, director of the band, Robert Hempel, field general of the band, Leslie Sperling, fa'41, Bill Miller, fa'42, Barbara Daniels, c'41, Robert Forman, fa'42, and Virginia Houston, c'42.
Dramatic Club Plans Melodrama
The fine old art of melodrama will come to the University again this year when the Dramatic club unleashes its "take back your gold" company on "Bertha, the Sewing Machine Girl."
Tryouts for that piece of "my hero" art will be given at 2:30 tomorrow afternoon in Green hall.
"White Wings," another play which the club will start work on soon, will also get preliminary tryouts at the same time tomorrow.
