PAGE 6 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, NovemKer 23, 1947, South American Soprano Will Sing for Lincoln Symphony As the second attraction of its series, the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra will present the Bra zilian soprano of the Metropolitan Bidu Sayao (pronounced sigh yow) in a recital Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. in the Stuart Theater. Described as "one of the few singers who sings Mozart as ex- yi BIDU SAYAO. quisitely as she does Verdi or Puccini," Bidu Sayao last spring completed ten seasons of star billfng at the famed New York opera house. Introduced to Ameri ca by Arturo Toscanini in April of 1936 in performance with the New York Philharmonic orches tra of Debussy's "Blessed Damo zel," Miss Sayao had already ap peared in three leading European opera houses the Paris Opera Comique, the Roma Royal Opera, and Milan's La Scala. After the clamorous critic praise that followed her appearances with the Philharmonic, it was al most inevitable that the Met en gage her the next season. She has remained as a leading so prano ever since. Evidence of her popularity and versitility at the Met is the large number and wide variety of lead roles which she performs there each season, in cluding title roles of Manon, Ju liet and Mclisande, as well as Mimi in "La Boheme," Violetta in "La Traviata," Zerlina in "Ab duction from the Seraglio," Su zanna in "Marriage of Figaro," Rosina in "Barber of Seville," and Adina in "L'Elisir d'Amore." Last season the soprano cov ered almost 35,000 miles to and from opera and concert appear ances between New York and Rio de Janiero, making half a dozen flights v between, east and west coasts as well. Last summer she returned to her native Rio for the first time in six years for ap pearances at the Teatro Munici pal, and was feted every day of the engagement reportedly by the whole of Rio, from the President down." Her fee per performance was one of the largest ever paid for opera in Rio including fabu lous salaries given the great En rico Caruso. Although general admission sea son tfeket sales closed with the opening of the season, the orch estra association has responded to popular demand that student sea son sales be reopened. Price for the remaining five attractions is $4.25, including federal tax.

Third Floor Si ,., i Chain Letters Ruled Illegal By Post Office Chain letters are back. Altho the postoffice department has ruled them illegal, fallacious and sucker-bait, the pesky letters keep popping up. This time, however, since postal fraud laws prevent the sending of lottery literature thru the mails, the new chain is alleged to oper ate by -word of mouth. The buyer, or sucker, sends $2 to the first of the names on a list and gives $2 to the seller, a total of $4. He then crosses out the first name and adds his to the bottom. By selling two he regains his $4 and sits back to await a supposed $2,048. Mathematical Fallacy. The fallacy in endless chains such as this is that tHey are not endless. By simple mathematical progression (2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc.) the chains, even if continued less than 35 steps would have more CHRISTMAS CARDS Special for Friends and Rel ative.

The postal authorities, upon hearing of this new hybrid scheme, sent out the following bulletin: "It appears that the originators of this scheme have the erroneous belief that by not sending the letter thru the mails they will escape prosecution. "The department, invites atten tion to the fact that depositing any matter, including money, for transmission through the mails in furtherance of this scheme, is a violation of United States Code 18: 336 and 338, and the postal lot tery and fraud statutes. The par ticipants are also subjecting them selves to possible prosecution as well as fraud order action under United States Code 39: 259 and 732." Gov.
