ity.

the board that local landladies

Artists' Course Series
Presents Swarfhout
At Final Spring Concert
Third and final concert artist to
appear on Penn State’s spring art
ists’ course will be Gladys Swarth
out, noted mezzo-soprano of radio,
screen and stage fame.
Miss Swarthout will give 1161-1
performance in Schwab Auditor
ium, 8 p.m. Tuesday. She was orig
inally scheduled for Monday, but
it was believed that she could not
make the trip to State College in
time for the concert and a post
ponement until Tuesday was made
to 'assure her appearance.
Like the other two major artists
on this season’s course, Miss
Swarthout was a child prodigy. At
13 she pretended to be 19 and ob
tained a position in a Kansas City
choir. Her sincerity so impressed
her wealthy family that the financ
ing of her career from that point
on was never much of a problem.
As an opera prima donna Miss
Swarthout not only occupies an
important place at the Metropoli
tan, but has also participated in
the Chicago and St. Louis opera
seasons.
Last season she made five ap
pearances in the title role of “Car
men,” adding to the laurels al
ready won in “Mignon,” “Norma,”
“Sadko,” “Forza del Destino,”
“Peter Ibbetson,” “Tales of Hoff
man,” and “La Gioconda.”
In concert ,too, this gifted singer
enjoys a tremendous popularity,
and each season fills as many re
cital engagements as her other ac
tivities permit. She has made five
sound films and has been a fea
tured radio artist on many impor
tant coast-to-coast programs.
Included among the 19 fraterni
ties that have offered their facili
ties to the Army are the follow
ing:

Asked about the housing, feed
ing, and instruction of the Army
men, Dr. Hetzel said, “It is possi
ble that this number (1267) will be
materially increased. The War De
partment is now urging College
officials to take' additional num
bers at the earliest possible date.”
President Hetzel continued, “1
am pleased with the response that
the fraternities are making in of
fering their houses for the use of
service men who are being sent to
the College for training. Nineteen
have already agreed to cooperate
and I am assured by many others
that they will participate. I real
ize that this involves a large mea
sure of sacrifice on their part.
Their cooperation is essential,
however, if the College is to do its
full share in this period of nation
al emergency.
