Our StoryA tiny village in the Bavarian Alps is the background for our musical ad-

venture, "Music in the Air". Our tale grows about two young lovers, KarlReder, the village schoolmaster, and Sieglinde Lessing, the winsome daughterof Doktor Walther Lessing, elderly and beloved music teacher of all the village.

Spring is in the air. And the magic of the birds' singing has inspiredor Lessine to new heiEhts in comoosine the school comnlencement choralDoktor Lessing to new heights in composing the school comnlencement choral

prosram. It is so sood. in fact, that all feel that his bovhood friend. Ernstl.roKtot Lessrng to new nelgn$ rnprogram. It is so good, in fact,Weber, now a prosperous music p

I that his boyhood friend, Ernster, now a prosperous music publisher, surely will publish it.

The school year ends. Full of hope, the Doktor, Sieglinde and Karl join

the village walking club on its yearly trip to Munich, the world'ssong. When the three arrive at the publishing house, they finda tempestuous prima donna, Frieda Hatzfeld, and Bruno Mahler

Munich, the world's metropolis ofing house, they find it habited by

a tempestuous prima donna, Friedaand the librettist who has written

and Bruno Mahler, her admirera tempestuous prrma oonna, r rleda tlatzrelo, ano bruno lvlanrer, ner aomlrerand the librettist who has written her greatest successes. The two have just

had one of their frequent and stonnl'quarrels.

The angry Frieda is captivated by the youth and quaint charm of thevillage schoolmaster, Karl. With an equal eye for youthful beauty, Brunoapproaches Sieglinde with the role of prima donna in his newest opera. Ingood operatic fashion, new infatu:rtions flourish for the moment in the glamour

of old Munich.

"The wheel comes full turn." Frieda tires of her villager's novelty.Herr Mahler and company soon realize Sieglinde's gross shortcomings as aprima donna. Life comes near the fringes of tragedy for our disillusionedyoung lovers. Karl returns to his pupils. Meanwhile, Sieglinde quells her

fears of scornful tongues and returns with her father to their home, But no

scorn awaits her. Only the warmth of old friends greets her. She sees at last

that there is no magic talisman for artistic success. Human warmth, not false

rornance, guides her and she joins her Karl to link her life with his in hap-

prness.

Then and ll/owOur story is the product of two famous collaborators: music by J. Kern,

book by O. Hammerstein II. Old story, yes, but a new twist. When J. Kernoutlined the plot of his "Music in the Air" to Edna Ferber, she said, "It can'tbe done". Tain't so, Edna, tain't so! For on November B, 1932, it openedat the Alvin Theatre on 52nd Street, NYC, and rave reviews fell like tickertape on a parade. Brooks Atkinson in the Times hailed it as the first "coher-ent form" of musical drama to appear on the American stage. Rightly so,for J. Kern was the first to introduce the dramatic situation into a musical;the vaudeville revue got a plot and then some.

"Music in the Air" played for a year on "Broadway", then toured theU. S. and played London. Walter Slezak sang the romantic lead of Karl,the rural schoolmaster. Hit songs produced from those Bavarian settings arestill among the greats: "The Hill Beyond The Hill", "The Song fs You",and the theme running throughout, "I Told Every Little Star".
