Star’s Memory Lapse
Adds to Concert Fun
(Continued from page 1)
for ONeillites it clinched the idea
Mr. Carter is human.
O
Mr. Carter’s recital person
ality more than equalled the
great James Melton. He dem
onstrated versatility in dialect
and song and demonstrated
ease in producing fine tones.
He opened with a recitative
and aria from Mendelssohn’s “Eli
jah,” regarded as one of the finest
oratorios, and followed with
“Ave Verum Corpus” by Mozart
and an aria, “Judas Maccabaeus”
by Handel.
The second group opened with
Lieder by Donaudy, Schubert,
Liszt and Strauss. O’Neill music
lovers were treated with the true
meaning of art song as they lis
tened to Schubert’s “Die Forelle”
(“The Trout”). He returned tc
encore with a pert little French
ballad, “Eyes, Eyes, Oh Youi
Beautiful Eyes.”
It was in the next group, con
sisting of arias from “Magic
Flute” and “Don Giovanni” by
Mozart, that Mr. Carter display
o ed the biggest voice and dramatic
capabilities. The young tenor’s en
core: A jubilant favorite, “Ah Che
d’Amore” from “The Barber oi
Seville.”
o Gaylen Lurwick, official piano
accompanist for Soprano Nadine
Conner and considered one of the
best accompanists in the concert
field, provided a delightful inter
lude. He showed confident mas
tery of the keyboard. The audi
ence called for an encore. He of
fered “Little White Donkey.”
After intermission, Mr. Carter
sang contemporary compositions:
“Sylvelin” by Christian Tosti;
“My Songs with Birds Would Be
Vying” by Rennaldo Hohr, and
the beautiful “Oh Spirit Flower.”
At this point the young tenor
liberally sprinkled entertaining
encores: ‘Smokey,” “Lulu,” “Old
Mother Hubbard” (a clever ar
rangement humorously done), the
Irish folk song, “In the Garden
Where the Praties Grow,” and
others.
In the last grouping was the
appealing and enchanting “Hans
Christian Andersen” music,
"Linstead Market” (rhumba),
and the minstrel ditty from
o “The Mikado.”
“Donkey Serenade” was the
third encore at the concert’s close,
: ° and sent concert-goers home hap
0 py and assured they had heard
one of the fine young American
0 tenors.
In a “Voice of The Frontier”
interview (heard Monday, 9:30
a.m., WJAG), Mr. Carter told
how he studied music and lan
guage in New York City and then
set out to see the world (Pacific
navy duty during World War n),
Advent of television has opened
many, many fields for young
artists, Mr. Carter said.
“My advice to aspiring young
musicians: You must work hard,
study intensely, have time for
recreation. Routines today are
different in degree, competition
is keener, those who survive the
early tests will come out on top.”
Discussing the wide variation
in choice of music on his program,
he said:
“We find the audiences, partic
ularly these mid western audi
ences, love a bit of hep-cat, or
something close to it, along with
the masterworks.
“I’m not down to rock-and- •
roll yet,” he mused, “but versa
tility is necessary in the modern
artists.”
Many years ago, he pointed
out, the great artists studied in
one vein. They worked out opera
to a great and exacting science.
“Today, because of television,
radio, motion pictures and re
cordings, we must be versatile.
We must be able to do the master
works in several languages, we
must have the classics, light clas
sics, certain tempos—all requiring
extra concentration.
“We have to live these songs,
embody them within one’s self.
This comes only through hard
work and deep concentration.
“Caruso rates as the greatest
tenor in my book. He died when I
was a boy and I never heard him.
However, I’ve studied and studied
his recordings as I have many,
many other tenors. Then I make
my own recordings and then com
pare myself—not with the idea of
how good I am, but to learn from
them.
“The old masters, like Caruso,
really knew their techniques
and forever will be unexcelled.
They learned the hard, scien
tific way — without benefit of
microphones and electronics.”
Except for the O’Neill engage
ment Carter would have been
heard on Sunday’s Woolworth
Hour radio program (Columbia
Broadcasting System). The invi
tation was turned down because
of the O’Neill date
Carter flew to Sioux City from
New York and Lurwick came
from Los Angeles, Calif. They
met at Sioux City and drove here.
During an impromptu social
gathering following the concert
Mr. Carter sang “Happy Birth
day” for Mrs. Melvin Ruzicka,
membership cochairman of the
O’Neill association.
Curtis Seeks to Halt
Union Dues Used in
Politician Support
Sen. Carl T. Curtis (R. - Neb.)
said Tuesday that he is “grati
fied” by the large volume of mail
which he is receiving from every
state in the nation regarding a
bill, S.3074, which he recently in
troduced for the purpose of pre
venting union dues from being
used to support candidates for
political office. Curtis said that
most of his mail comes from
union members who favor the le
gislation and complain about
dues collected to hold their jobs
being used to support political
candidates whom the union mem
bers oppose.
