Halevy With Shever
Draws Big Audience

Halevy Singing Society held its
19th annual concert at the Scot-
tish Rite Cathedral Sunday night
for an audience that grew larger
as the evening progressed.
By intermission time the hall
was packed and those who came
late missed some of the best spots
of the evening's musical offer-
ings. The first part of the pro-
gram was made up of a group of
songs done in the usual compe-
tent manner of the group, in one
of which Bella Goldberg, alto,
carried the solo part in a capable
manner. This was followed by
"The Great Assembly Line" fea-
turing the base-baritone Wallace
Schonschak, "Assembly Line" is
a patriotic cantata similar to
"Ballad for Americans" which It
closely apes.
The second half of the concert
was occupied by the Oratorio "Di
Tzvei Brides,'' Schaefer's music
set to the famous poem by J. L.
Peretz. In this work Halevy was
joined by a stringed ensemble of
14 members of the Detroit Sym-
phony Orchestra, Cantor Samuel
Mogill, baritone, and Emma
Shever, soprano.
This writer has no quarrel
with the poem, nor even with
the sentiments it expresses but
the music itself is far from color-
ful and, with the exception of a
very few measures, it is dull and
uninteresting. Whatever sparkle
was present in the rendition was
to be found in the presence of
Emma Shever on the stage.
Miss Shever handled her part
with her usual professional ap-
lomb and one could wish the
oratorio had a larger part for the
soprano.
Yet, all in all, it was an inter-
esting evening, the choir has
quite a few fine voices and the
two , piano accompaniment of
Shirley Subar and Rebecca Froh-
man was wholly satisfying, and
while a little more contrast in
general vocal shading could be
desired, Dan Frohman, the direc-
tor, can be complimented for the
evening's musical entertainment.

The Detroit Institute of Musi-

Music Festival on Jan. 23 and
29 at the Rackham Memorial
Building. The artists, the famous
Roth String Quartet, were in-
vited to come to this country
from their native Hungary in
1928, by the Library of Congress
—Coolidge Foundation, W a s h-
ington, D. C.
The quartet was organized by
its first violinist, Feri Roth, in
1922, and played with the same
personnel until 1938 when Mr.
Roth reorganized the quartet and
invited two outstanding Ameri-
can artists, Julius Shaier, violin-
ist, and Oliver Edel, 'cellist, to
become members of the group.

The increased needs of Jewish
refugees who have found a
haven in Switzerland, and the
recent influx of several thousand
persons from Nazi-held Italy,
have necessitated a rise in the
Joint Distribution Committee's
assistance allotment for that
country to $150,000 a month,
two-and-a-half times as much as
its Swiss expenditure in May,
1943.
