PRESS SERVICE FLASHES FOR FEBRUARY 29, 1961 Boston, Mass. — A sensational new book has been announced by the FRIBERS- FORTINI music publishing company. The author, Esor Accas (pen-name for ROSE SACCA BONGIOVANNI), has written a very valuable text on a subject which concerns every student at one time or another. Briefly, it tells just how a person can swing a full schedule at school, get home in time to have dinner ready for the husband, and raise a family. MISS SARAH LIBBEY is talcing orders at the N. E. C. Bookstore. Price, $3.50, less thirty per cent for cash. Moncton, New Brunswick — Recognition has finally come to MARY MURPHY for her patient and persevering work with low voices. With her able assistants, ELEANOR LONG and EVELYN RICHARDS, a School for Low Voices has been opened in Moncton. It has been rumored that they are planning to spread out all over Canada. Perhaps even the Eskimos will be affected. This school was made possible by the generous contributions of the people of New Brunswick. Worcester, Mass. — SUMNER PETERSON and SAMUEL BEATTIE, co-supervisors of music here, held a Battle of Music at the Worcester Auditorium last night. However, the high spot of the evening was when the former played a trumpet solo with the latter at the piano. It was an old favorite, Dark Town Strutters ' Ball, and it brought down the house. Boston, Mass. — Returning this season to their home town with the Metropolitan Opera Association were HENRY GRZYBALA as Radames and ANGELICA SARRIS as Amneris in Aida. Vigorous conducting and high enthusiasm marked LUTHER ONERHEIM ' S leadership. HARRIET KAPLAN, music critic for the SOUTH BOS- TON DAILY BULLETIN, revealed that forty-one soldiers were wearing wrist- watches, an anachronism not written into the opera. For this fine work in criticism, MISS KAPLAN has been awarded the Smith Prize for Constructive Criticism given annually by the BOSTON POST. Mooselookmeguntic, Maine — It was announced last night that LOUISE PICERELLI has been put in charge of the music department here. Her coming is welcomed by students and faculty alike. A band of saxette players accorded her an, exciting reception at the railroad station this afternoon. NANINE SCHWARZ, in charge of the band, has recently developed an E-flat baritone saxette which was used for the first time today with an unusually striking result. — 30 —
