Scenes of Two
Great Operas
Complete with costumes and sets
of a regular opera performance,
the Janet Bush Opera quartet
will present two of the most
familiar scenes in the operatic re
pertoire, Thursday at 8 p.m. in
the Union ballroom, under the
sponsorship of ' the Union music
activities committee.
The quartet, composed of con
tralto Janet Bush, soprano Irma
Cooper, tenor Gordon Hendricks
and baritone Joseph Florestano,
will sing in English.
Faust Legend
From Gounod's opera "Faust,"
the quartet will perform the gar
den and prison scenes. Mephistop
pheles has offered the aged Doctor
Faust youth, love and wisdom in
return for his soul and takes him
to meet Marguerite. In the gar-
den scene, Marguerite sings a
spinning song and the "Jewel
Song."
The second scene occurs in pri
son years later where Marguerite
is held for killing Faust and her
.. child. Mephistopheles and Faust
come to release her, but she re
fuses to leave, invoking divine
protection. Here occurs the clos
ing trio sung by the three prin
ciples. Biblical Struggle.
The second act of Saint-Saens1
"Samson and Delilah" forms the
second portion of the quartet's
program. Delilah, having drawn
bamson to the Philistine camp, at
tempts to wrest from him the
secret of his power. With the aid
ol the high priest and ambushed
soldiers, Delilah succeeds in her
intrigue to undo the Israelite
leader.

National Blood program. Accord
ing to information released by the
national ARC office, the program
"is being organized to make whole
blood and blood derivatives ulti
mately available, without cost for
the products, to the nation's en
tire population, through physi
cians and hospitals."
The Red Cross reports that the
supply of blood now available in
hospitals and from private agen
cies in the United States is below
the national need.

pitals last year, with 12,000 Red
Cross volunteers working at regu
larly scheduled hours. There are
Red Cross field directors in 115
