"I like jazz very- much myself," she contin ued, "and always include some popu lar numbers on my radio programs." "Because I sing them in a simple manner, like classical music; because .I don't 'croon' them, people tell me that, the music is 'so different' . and that they enjoy it so much' more. I think there is a great future in jazz. Our American 'Jazz Operas' have been well received in 'Europe and this style of music will continue to grow," she said: • "I don't think there is much future in the negro style of jazz, the 'hot' jazz •as it is called. But• the sym , phonic style, written by Gersliwin,nnd others,' is reef music.'. It has rhythm and. melody," she continued, "and is an important contribution to music." l%fidame. Stueckgold finds that young people display a great interest N. Y. Orchestra To Play for Final Artists' Number Sokoloff To Come Here With 60' Musicians Monday Night.

The ,program, the one best liked by Sokoloff, begins with 'classical music by the old composers and ends with the music of the moderns. The com mittee in charge was given twelve programs from which to choose and 'finally - decided on one made up of the favorite pieces of the orchestra's con ductor as the one most likely to in sure a better performance. Orchestra's Program Listed The 'program follows: Brahms' "Academic Overture," Tchaikovsky's; SyMphony No, 5, in E minor, opus 64 —Andante-Allegro con anima, An dante cantabile con alcuna licenza, Valse: Allegro moderato, Finale: An dante maestroso—Allegro-Allegro vi vace.

"The success of the popular-priced •operas in New York prove that the singer pointed out. "However think that opera in this country, should be sung in English, just as in Europe where it is always sung in'the native tongue of the peo ple." She also thinks it might be a good idea for' concert artists to sing all their numbers in English. "The radio and motion pictures have had a great- influence in devel oping a taste for good music," Ma dame Stucckgold said. "On my own progranis I mix classical with more popular music, and people, who may at first care for only the latter, learn to like the Other as they hear it more." • • . Interest in classical music and Die opera is" steadily increasing; Madame Stueckgold believes, especially among Younger people. She cited the suc cess of 'the recent motion pictures of Grace Moore and Jeanette McDonald as evidences of this. "They are filled with opera," she said, "and many people whb saw them discovered for the first time that such music is real ly enjoyable." STATE COLLEGE,IPA .
