Less necromantic is the image of Gounod, devout and poetic composer of Faust, conjured up by Gisa Schulz; Boito's very different operatic treatment of the Goethe drama is examined by Neville Long. Another of Ann M. Lingg's penetrating introductions to characters we tend to take for granted is contrasted with interviews featuring Nicolai Gedda, the Metropolitan's new Faust, and Helen Jepson, winsome Marguerite of former days, while George A. Whetstone irreverently advances a possible Victorian model for the heroine. Howard J. Hook, Jr., National Chairman of the National Council's Regional Auditions, discusses them in relation to the radio "Auditions of the Air," which resume once again next Sunday. Names. Dates.
