Famous Singer Appears At Little
Theatre
Galli-Curci, world-famous con
tralto singer, gave the opening
concert of the season here when
she sang at the Little Theatre
Tuesday evening, December 6.

five languages—English, French,
German, Spanish and Italian
Critics have said that when Galli-
Curci sings, her soul sings with
her, that all she sings is heart
searching whether an aria, an art
song, or a simple folk melody.
Her voice of pure molten gold,
her flawless art, and her unaffect
ed stage presence have won her
many favorable comments.
Galli-Curci made her debut in
her teens in “Rigoletto” at Teano,
Italy. Soon she became a star
of the Metropolitan Opera Com
pany in New York. She became
an Ameircan citizen and married
an American composer. The
two live in Sul Monte in the
Catskill mountains of New York,
where they take an active interest
in the affairs of the village.
Inheriting qualities from her
Spanish mother and Italian
father, Galli - Curci’s intellectual
and graceful features, combinec'
with her range of emotions, make
her a very delightful woman. Sh(
is a womanly homemaker and
home-lover, and enjoys all out
door life.
“The joy of the Lord is the
Christian’s strength.” This is^ a
quotation taken from the inspir
ing talk given last Sunday night
by the Rev. Mr. Dillard, pastor
from Tenth Avenue Presbyterian
Church.
The topic for the program was
“Joy.” Mary Murray, the leader,
opened the meeting with a song.
The scripture, taken from the
fifth Psalm, was read, after which
the congregation was led in
prayer. The speaker gave a very
timely and interesting talk, fol
lowed by a short prayer. The
congregation sang “Joy To The
World,” and was dismissed with
the Mizpah.

Its purpose is to make concerts
possible on a basis which elimin
ates all financial risk on the part
of any person, group or organi
zation. This is accomplished by
putting the Association on the
membership basis. Membership
entitles one to attend all concerts
of the season without additional
expense and assures an aud'ence
first before engaging anv talent,
permanency for a city's concert
series and financial security for
the present and future. It is a
no-profit, no-loss plan.
The membership fee of five
dollars was reduced to two and
one-half dollars for the students
of Queens-Chicora College. It is
hoped that the students have
taken full advantage of this un
usual opportunity presented at
1 such a small cost.
