EIGH IX SONG REGIT A I,
Of all the artists who visited
North Carolina last year none
more completely captivated the
audience than did Alexander Kip
nis. the Metropolitan basso. Those
who heard him in Raleigh lust
March, in joint recital with Zinka
Milanov and Georgia Graves, were
insistent that he return and give
an entire program. The concert
series committee of the Raleigh
Woman's Club has again engaged
this great singer and actor for a
recital on December 3, in the
Memorial .Auditorium. Raleigh.
8: SO P. M.
Pew artist? before the public
today have enjoyed such univer
sal admiration as this distinguish-!
ed alnger. When it comes to fine
musical entertainment his recitals
are unrivalled. In addition to a
magnificent voice he brings to the
concert platform an, authority
built upon assiduous study and
thrilling experiences in every mu
sic center of the world. Memor
able audiences in Vienna. Salz
burg, Paris, New York, Bayreuth.i
San Francisco, Buenos Aires, Lon
don and Rome have cheered him
year after year. He is credited
with more fine recordings than
any singer except John McCor
mack. His reception at the Me
tropolitan Opera last year stands
out as the triumph of the entire
season.
Kipnis' appeal is universal be
cause his singing comes from a
great soul, and because it is en-"
dowed with keen intellect and hu
mor. The New1 bork Post- said,
of him, "...one of the greatest
voices of our day... as a lelder
singer he has no peer." The Chi
cago Tribune declared him to be
"...one of the most majestic of
living singers ..."
Tickets are on sale at Brant- '
ley's Drug Store, Raleigh, at;
