Return THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Melchior Meets Wife As Parachute Lands In Garden By HELEN R. KEEFAUVER '44 A cross current of air which car ried her parachute from'its in tended landing place into Lawritz Melchior's German garden car ried “Kleinchen” Melchior from the limelight of European movie life into the role of wife of the world’s greatest heroic tenor. She may be found backstage at every performance reading the newspaper, writing letters, enter taining guests, or checking up on her husband’s costume. “I do not sing myself because I think one in the family is enough,” Melchior’s petite, brown-eyed wife said in a Danish accent. I have tried to play the piano but confidentially, I am ‘lousy.’ ” Kleinchen has called America her home since she married Mel chior seventeen years ago. Several Americans film compan ies have made her offers,. all of which she politely refused. “I am a married woman and very happy,” she said. “All I want is to make a nice home for Lauritz.” ■ She thinks American jazz is ugly because it is too loud. Klein chen says she and her husband like musical comedies best in pop ular music. In contrast to her six-foot, four-inch husband, Kleinchen (whose real name is Maria Haak er) is five-foot, three-inches. She and her husband plan ito fly to their California home when Mel chior finishes this season’s en gagements in three weeks.
