The parts, in four languages, range from the little boy, Hansel,, of the Humperdinck fairytale, to the sixty-ish nurse of Moussorgsky"s 'Boris Godoupow"; from the seduc- tive Carmen to the faithful Emilia in "Otello", and to Mistress Page, one of the "Merry Wives" in 'Fal. staff". She richly deserves the des- cription: 'The Met's most versatile artist"'. Born in New York city her first teacher was her mother, herself a professional singer. Under sever- al renowned tutors she won schol- arships and prizes culminating in her Metropolitan Opera debut on the opening night of the 1944-45 season. In the summer of 1946 she made her Latin-American opera debut at the Teatro Municipal in Rio de Janeiro and at Mexico's Opera Nacional. At home this attractive young American Singer has been success- ful in every field. She has appear- ed all over the country in recital and as soloist with major orches- tras. . With the New York Philharmonic Symphony under Stokowski, with the Boston Symphony in the Bach St. Matthew Passion and with the Pittsburgh Symphony under Rein- er in he Verdi Requiem, and on national radio programs of fine music she has established an en- viable reputation. In the spring of 1950 Martha Lip- ton went abroad for the first time and made a highly successful Eu- ropean debut with concerts at The Hague and Amsterdam, Holland.

Calvi Evan- gelical Chu e host church for the five-day session. a By BERNARD DUFRESNE Canadian Press Staff Writer QUEBEC (CP)-An English-lan- guage little theatre group in rench Quebec is something out of the ordinary, but no one seems to be excited about it. "We wish it were otherwise," says Mrs. L. E. Pennington, presi- dent and stage director of the Que- bec Art Theatre, now putting a cast of 17 players through re- hearsals of "Our Hearts Were Young and Gay' for a three-night run starting Ap 30. "Ge a ances 18 our biggest problem," the Ber; aired veteran of the stage said. "Audiences--and new players." She estimated there are about 10,000 English-speaking Quebecers in a city of 165,000. "Take away the aged, the children and those who never go to the theatre. What have you left? Yet, most of those who come once will come back for the next production.' The largest audience in the QAT's seven-year history was 750 "for all three performances of a play." About a half-dozen French-speak- ing Quebecers--"personal friends' --who are bilingual see every QAT effort. It costs the QAT $300 to put on a play after cutting corners and strict economy measures, but box office returns are usually so low that Mrs. Pennington and others of the group are often out of pocket. The group, unsponsored and un- subsidized, pays amusement taxes on the dollar admission and rent to St. Michael's Memorial Hall, in suburban Sillery, where it stages bits plays, stores costumes and props, and holds rehearsals. The QAT puts on three productions a year, in September, mid-winter and in the spring. Mrs. Pennington, who toured Canada in a professional company before she started directing groups here 23 years ago, is the wife of the secretary-treasurer of the Ang- lican diocese of .

Smart Styling For Safety Shoes For Women Workers TORONTO (CP)--There's trouble afoot for women in industry, and attempts are being made to clear it up wih a dash of glamor.

This year safety features have been combined with smart styling in saddle shoes, tie Oxfords and loafers. Such things as steel toe caps tested to withstand a 2,200- pound weight being dropped on them are incorporated into these S. Figures for one of the largest automobile plants in the country showed that a few years ago they had 268 toe injuries in one year referred to the workmen's compen- sation board and 99 lost-time cases. Sensible shoes helped reduce this to 132 toe injuries and 35-lost time cases and some companies now have programs under way to have all employees "safety shod."
