Raleigh Civic Music Association
presented the Don Cossack Chorus
conducted by Serge Jaroff Tuesday
night in the City Auditorium. The
chorus sang to a large audience.
The rigid figures of the perform
ers made an effective picture in their
Russian dress of black _ suits and
highly polished boots with only a
touch of color in the bright red
stripe down each trouser leg. llie
precision with which the chorus
moved on and off the stage, the rigid
posture, and the clicking of heels as
they turned toward the audience
created a very militaristic atmos
phere.
The program was arranged in
three parts. First was a group of
religious songs; second, a group of
Russian folk tunes; and third, a
group of military and peasant songs.
Vt the end of the .‘^econd and third

Many Saint Mary’s girls were
present at a rather unusual perform
ance at the State Theatre last night.
An almost all-negro cast presented
George Gershwin and DnBose Hey
ward’s American folk opera “Porgy
and Bess” to a Southern audience
that received the play appreciatively.
The music of the late George
Gershwin has made the opera fa
mous. As the curtain rose “Clara”
sang the immortal “Snmniertime,”
lullaby which has become a classic
in live ypars. Later on *^Bess” sang
this same song. Serena’s “My Man’s
Gone Row,” a lament for her dead
husband, was the next favorite. But
by far the most outstanding songs,
I o^.'-ihly excej'ting the first, were “I
Got Plenty o’ Ruttin’ ” and “Bess,
You Is My AVoman Row,” sung by
“Porgy,” the crippled beggar hero
who was portra,yed by the holder of
an M.4. from Columbia. Bess’ “1
Love You, Porgy” was one of the
best songs rendered by another col
lege graduate. “It Ain’t Recessarily
So” was a very catchy well-known
