' the Evening Standard:

Miss Dandridge has got, as they I
say, whaat it takes. She plays a

well, displaying an acting ability >
all out of proportion to het exper J

sheer animal attraction, I !
have-never-seen her equal on ftYiy

is only equaled by the magnetism
of her face. .
"As benefits a cabaret artist,
whom I regret I did not see when

Etta Moten Reaps I
Of Univ. of Kansas
Iola, Kan? Intcrlationally fain- '
ous mezzo-contralto Etta Moten
has reaped a harvest of critical ac !
claim, following her recent Univer ,
Hity of Kansa.s-spmisured?tuur uf b
this state, Okfah6ma, and Missouri.
Miss Moten was hailed l?y critics
and audiences alike on her tristate
tour in which she grave pro- '
grams combining her talents as a ,
singer, actress and public speaker. >
She was one of the featured artist
~OTTTt~concerF~se rlesT sponsored i
by the University of Kansas in its , ;
program of bringing top-flight ar
tist to some of the smaller towns
in the Kansas area.' - ? A_.
Speaking of Miss Moten's work
Guy V. Keeler, director of the University
of Kansas Bureau of Lee-. ,
turcs and Concert Artist told re- ^
porters: - J
"To say that Etta Moten's work '
for the University of Kansas this ]
fall was satisfactory is to put it 1
far too mildly. Each of the coinmunities
in which Miss Moten has
appealed has been thrilled with
her presentation both as a lecturer
and as a singer.
"I /1A n/>+ VAon 11 iUoi LA OA I
I have l>een with the University ^
| having reveived any more onthus- .
iastic comments for any indivi
dual or group than we have had
on Miss Moten's work this fall." .
Typical of the praise received '
was from Angelc Scott, chairman b
' of the Iola Talk of the Month Club. 2
"Miss Moten is terrific! She is ?
the best entertainer to come to ?
"this town in 10 years. Her presen- S
tation is simply a jewel of perfect ?
. ion. She had to rise and aeknow ?
ledge the ovation she got when she ,?
finished." said Scott.
W. u. uralle, assembly chairman ?
at Southwest Missouri State Coll- c
ege, asserted that Etta Moten did
the mosr tremendous job I have
ever seen done on this Campus'and
amid considerable difficulties. The
students thought they were being
entertained and they were.
"They appluaded so vigorously |
she had trouble getting on with the !
story, but they were being given ]
a sermon and a real soul-stirring
one, or several. I can think of no
better service for democracy than
for her to give the same program
in every high school and college in
the United States." ^
In Oklahoma, Bruce G. Carter, ft
presdent of Northwestern Okla-,?
homa A. & M. college said, 'Etta 8
Moten was wonderful and well re- 8
ceived Tiere." -*0
Perhaps the singer's impact 8
upon her audiences was best sum- 8
med up Tiy Sirs. David Stiles of fi
Herrington ,Kan. Talk of the S
Month Club when she said.
"Our club was entertained roy- 8
ally" by Etta Moten. She was in- ?
deed a charming person and one g
feels richer after seeing and meet- 8
ing such a grand example of our S
American heritage.
Miss Moten's current offering is ?
a combination lecture-recitafwhich fi
is proving extremely popular. She ?
has already been signed by the ?
TJirtversTtyTof Kansas for a 1955 a
fall series. She did 30 concerts in ?
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma c
for the University of Kansas this 5
past fall, many of them in areas S
where there were no colored resi- ?
dents. She served truly as an am- ?
