Woman Conducts
Orchestra In
Robin Hood
May Valentine is called a musical
prodigy. She conducts the orches
tra and plays the piano accompani
ment for the opera "Robin Hood"
which opened Thursday night at
Brandeis' theater for a three-day
run. Women lawyers, doctors, busi
ness executives, nor even a congress
woman, give observers a thrill in
this 20th century. But the sight of
a slender youug woman, sitting and
standing at the piano quietly, un
affectedly and surely guiding or
chestra and singers into one grand,
harmonious ensemble, wrests some
thing of unusual interest and ad
miration from an audience accus
tomed to the gyrations of a male
conductor whose wilted collar, dis
arranged necktie and disheveled hair
are the usual credentials of com
petency. Miss Valentine is modest about
her achievements. She has been
conducting orchestras for nine
years, much of that time in New
York City, playing for "The Mi
kado," "The Chocolate Soldier," and
productions of the Society of Amer
ican Singers.
As a child of 9, Miss Valentine
became the protege of Catherine
Barker Spaulding, heiress to many
millions, who sponsored her musical
education. Climbing high in the mu
sical "scale" Robert DeKoven, com
poser of "Robin Hood," and many
other operas, became interested in
her and coached her in various pro
ductions. Miffl Valentine was plan
ning a return to New York for fur
ther work under DeKoven, when the
famous composer died several weeks
ago.
Ralph Dunbar who presents the
"Robin Hood' company now play
ing in Omaha, is evidently in favor
of co-educational institutions. At
least, according to Miss Valentine,
he has confidence in women's abil
ity. "He believes," she says, "that
women are reliable and conscien
tious and that if they have any
brains at all, those qualities are add
ed virtues. This conductor is not
the only woman holding an im
portant position with the company.
Miss Gaskcll is press agent for the
organization. Mr. Dunbar's wife
plays the part of Alan-a-Dale, out
law, and sings that ever beautiful
"Oh Promise Me."
Miss Valentine thinks there is s
revival of interest in light opera all
over the country. "Yes, Saturday
is 'my' day," she smiled, "and I'll
be glad to do honor to St. Valentine
in Omaha."
