Woman Who Taught Fliers Now Directs Choir I WmWT Margaret HUlis conducts the Concert Choir By W. G. ROGERS Associated Press Art* Editor Nfew York ? What is so rare is a woman conductor? A woman instructor for Navy ilierr Rarest of all is the womSn who s both: Margaret Hillis, of the oncert Choir. She has another distinction: She ?hooses evening dresses partly tor low they look in front, bid eva?> nore for how they look bwgi. ?" -1 Attractive Miss Hillis taught Navy boys how to fly out in Mun ;ie, Ind., for a year and a half luring the war. That was before she was graduated from Indiana University. Long before that, however, in [act at the age of S, she was learning to play the piano. And she Jidn't stop there: "When I was 10 or XI I played the oboe, flute and trumpet, and taught myself something about the French horn." She was 14 when she conducted for the first/ time. It was In high school, where she had spent months persuading the music teacher he needed a stand-by conductor, When he was absent > couple of woeki, she took over. When the war came she held a commercial instructor's license ind introduced young fliers. ? who must have been abdtat her age ? to their first planes. Miss Hillis says (he could tarn her way very comfortably today as a flight instructor: "I might do better than I do right now with muaic." A chance conducting assign ment brought her hack once and for all to the muaic field. She studied at llie Julllard School and at Tanglewood, led a chorus in Brooklyn, then began the Concert Choir iii the fall of 1950. There were SO applicants from alngers for that first season; laat fall there were 390. As issista'nt and guest conductor with the Collegiate Chorale, she has led as many as 178 singers and musicians. Biggest crowd on stage during the recent Town Hall series of her Concert Choir was 76. ' . "There are no real problems for a woman conductor that don't confront a man, too," she says. "The personal relationships with choir members are probably no more difficult for me than they would be for a man. There have been occasions when it was eaaier to get along with my male singers than with the women." What about clothes? "Originally I bought a- blouse and ahirt as much alike as pos sible and tried to make them do for evening. Bat the blouse pulled out, and It didn't work. "Now I have found a dresa de signer who l| wonderful. I told him I needed something so sub stantial I could play tennis in it without getting it out of shape Urn (ayl tk.1 uau 11a nut ? a*- "Itl J ?

The dress she wort at Toara Hall stayed in place aa well aa tails would ever have done for a nan, and she cooducted mout as vlforoissly aa ? man, tee. The [frees had smart pointed collar Hps at the nape; what It looked like in front the audience had little chance to notice, except when Miss Hillis took her num erous bows. "Then there's hair, too," she adds. "I used to wear it short, but it shook down over my fore head and stuck to my skin there and in back. So I watehed ballet dancers and found they let theirs grow long. I do the same, and pin it securely. " Miss Hillis plans an expanded program here next season, and will also tour to several univer sities and appear in Chicago. Her staff includes a secretary, a librarian, and a manager. What, no husband? "I am not married," she says, but adds with a smile, "Not yet." Motorist Chases Victim After Knocking Her Down Paris, Ky. (AP) ? You've heard of a hit and run driver.
