Tibbett Rapped in Coast "Jones".
LOS ANGELES (WS) - The daily papers were divided on the most part and the majority of them were disappointed last Friday night when Lawrence Tibbett was heard at Shrine Auditorium in the opera taken from the play The Emperor Jones written by Eugene O'Neill.
But understandable of this. Among were the canon Baine and Edwin Schallert. This former the illustrated Dallas News says in that just why the director had the first scene is puzzling as it swings in realism as the vocal advances. Tibbett only gave a feeble promise of more singing to come a promise that never materialized - he tried the opera something new and vital. Really a final point Edwin Schallert of Los Angeles Times wrote at first is about these opera built was sparing with his na of Tibbets work. Frida Shaw and her Etude Ethi rLan Choru reached new heights. Members of her aggregation were elt ed as the Emperor Jones Male Chorus. Wule Hick West and Cnest Conuey played the roles of the tapshooter and witch doctor respectively.
