In describing his opera "Porgy and Bess," which the Theatre guild will bring .to the Erlanger theatre, Chicago, fo rtwo weeks beginning February 17, George Gershwin said, "It‘s an American opera striving to depict an American scene in a purely American way. I‘ve taken advantage of the spiritual quality of colored singing and the blues quality and combined the two with what I know about American song writing. The result has struck people as being something in opera that could. not have beéen written in any country but here." .: ‘ "Porgy and Bess‘ Opens at Erlanger Theater Those who long to see America in the front rank of art as â€"well as inâ€" dustry and science, are delighted that people feel that this opera have been written in no other country, for it has been hailed by critics and pubâ€" lic as a splendid achievement, and has rolled up the greatest number of consecutive performances of any ong opera in history. + "Porgy and Bess" is an opera whose score reflects, expresses and intensifies the dramatic elements of the stage play "Porgy," from which it was made. The poignant story of the negro cripple and his love for a wanton has lost none on its beauty and excitement, and all the humor, too, of Catfish Row is there as well as its pathos and its tragedy. The score, moreover, while replete with musicianship. of a high quality, conâ€" tains, as one critic has put it, melâ€" odies ‘singable, humble and whisâ€" tleâ€"able." â€" i Sir :James H.
