Music Review
By Dorothy Anderson
The concert series of Alaska
Music Trails was closed Tues
day evening, April 14, 1953,
at the USO Auditorium with a
recital by Raymond Manton, i
young San Francisco tenor,
who was assisted by Don Jones
at the piano.
Possessing a mellow, res
onant tenor voice, Mr. Manton
also revealed dramatic possi
bilities, notable particularly in
twu operatic arirs, “Le Reve”
from “Manon” and Federico's
‘‘Lamento” from “L’Arlesi
ana”. Throughout his recital
he displayed a warm stage
presence, completely dispel
ling a formal stylized perfor
mance. and occasionally com
J men ted on the programed
I numbers to a responsive aud
I ience. Mr. Manton’s remark
ably good singing enunciation
well demonstrates one of the
j reasons for his successful radio
• ngagement‘-.
An interesting group of six
German : rt songs from Schu
mann’s “Dichterliebe” were
programed by the tenor, and
j his fluid vocal control high
lighted a sensitive interpreta
tion of this group, which
is based on the poems of
Heine. The able complement
of his accompanist, Don Jones,
was especially apparent in
these lieder songs with their
remarkable balance between
voice and piano.
Outstanding in the recital
was Raymond Manton’s pre
sentation of a group of French
songs by Duparc, Lalo and
Poulenc, and a lyrical, dra
matic interpretation of “A
I Dream” by Giieg.
Two familiar favorites,
“Because” and “You Are My
I Heart’s Delight” were given
Jas encores by Raymond Man
|ton, and a final encore bronght
I a smiling tenor back to drama
| tieally end the program with
| “Questa Quella”, from “Rig
loletto”.

ter of Mr. and Mrs. Mel Craw

birthday Thursday with a

Council Holds Regular Meet;
T. P. Gilmore Protests $15 Fee
The city council discussed a
variety of subjects during the
regular meeting Monday
night. Everything from the
collection of taxes to the rais
ing of wages for city em
ployees was given considera
tion.
Leonard Campbell asked
that the taxes against the
boat, Blue Pacific, be removed
from his account as he had
sold it prior to 1952. H. F.
MacDonald also asked that
taxes against his boat the
“31F3” be taken from the roll
as the boat was sunk. The
matter was referred to com- j
mittee.
Martin Jensen attended the
meeting to discuss taxes levied ,
against his scow the “Mary
Jane”. He maintained the ves- j
sel was under repair in Kodiak i
in 1951 and was registered in '
Seattle in 1952. This matter |
was also referred to commitee.
The wages of the city crew
were raised to $2.75 per hour
for laborers and mechanics
and grader operators to $3.10
on the recommendation of
Councilman D. N. Hoylman.
Timothy P. Gilmore lodged
a protest with the council on
the $15 fee necessary for phy
sical examinations for bar
tenders as required by ordi
nance 168. The council advised
him the examination was man
datory under the provisions of
the ordinance and that tnere
was no legislative control over
the fee charged.
As of the last council meet
ing, members of the city police
department will not be author
ized as agents of the health
officer. Councilman Alvin Mil
ler made the motion that will
keep the cops from acting as
representatives of the health
department. He was supported
by. Conncilman V. W. Root
The motion passed unani
mously.
Other business of the council
included the approval of an
additional bus license for the
Kodiak Transit, Inc. and the
adding of the names of Cathe
rine Blankenburg and Her
bert Norris to the beverage
dispensary license of the
Town Club. The move was
made at the request of Vera
Pierce who sent a letter to the
council.
