Musical Artists Join
Damrosch in Defense
Of Kirsten Flagstad
tr Λ· A««oclet»d f r««
NEW YORK, April 26.—Geraldine
Farrar, Gladys Swarthout and other
musical artiste have joined Walter
Damrosch in condemning treatment
of kirsten Flagstad, Wagnerian so
prano, during a recent Philadelphia
concert, Consolidated Concerts Corp.
reported today.
Mr. Damrosch, 85-year-old recently
retired composer and conductor, yes
terday said he felt a "sense of
shame" over the indignities to which
Mme. Flagstad was subjected and
offered to accompany her at the
piano if she should appear in Hew
York again.
The Concerts Corporation, which
represents Mme. Flagstad, said the
new expressions were transmitted
through it to Mr. Damrosch. It said
it had received no dissenting mes
sages.
Return to Husband Defended.
Among congratulatory messages
sent Mr. Damrosch, the agency said,
was one from Oladys Swarthout and
her husband, Frank Chapman,
a Marine Corpe major during the
ηαΐ) oaj&Aig wwu eu *»» «*o "ν»»*
see, the only charge being levelled
against her Is based on the fact that
she returned to her httsband."
Mme. Flagstad, whose Philadel
phia performance was interrupted
by stench bombs and catcalls, had
been criticized for remaining in Nor
way with her late husband, Henry
Johaneen, who was accused of be
ing a Nazi sympathizer.
Damroech's "Courage" Praised.
The agency said Miss Farrar, from
her Rtdgefleld (Conn.) home, praised
Dr. Damrosch for his "courageous"
support of Mme. Flagstad and
added:
"The wicked, misleading impres
sions that have been spread about
in an effort to discredit her have not
succeeded ta undermining the loy
alty of the thousands who believe
In her · ·. · it is disgusting and dis
heartening that the democratic pro
cess should be misused in an effort
to destroy this great artist who is
also a great woman."
Others approving Dr. Damrosch's
stand included Paul Althouse, Karin
Branzell, contralto who sang with
Mme. Flagstad at the Metropolitan,
and Julius Huehn, former Metro
politan bass, the agency reported.
Mme. Flagstad expressed delight
at Dr. Damrosch's offer but did not
Indicate whether she would arrange
another New York concert. During
a concert here April 20 she was given
a warm reception but pickets bearing
protest signs marched in front of
Carnegie Hall.

Damages Walls
Twice last month Woodrow Sulli

quaintance living in the 600 block
of Maryland avenue Ν. E. On both
occasions she refused to see him.
On both occasions Sullivan rose up

1. Battered down a total of six
doors.
2. Broke the glass in another.
3. Smashed a telephone.
4. Tore plaster from the walls.

days on each charge yesterday in
