Not as a Stranzer o
By Joseph Crawford ! A)
Chora! Director, “Porgy and Ress” Opera Company /
x x rur.N my company started its tour of many European countries
VV several months ago, I wondered how this new kind of opera—
American Negro folk opera—would he received. Would the foreign
audiences understand what wc were trying to convey? Would they
like it?
I need not have worried. Everywhere, we have been met with un¬
derstanding and appreciation. I find it easy to talk with people about
our opera, about my country, about theirs. They make me feel that I
am not a stranger. Often they are surprisingly well -informed on the
various aspects of life in the United States, while I am able to discuss /
subjects of interest to them, owing to the fact that they and T have
read many a Reader’s Digest article on important events and memo¬ /
rable personalities in each other’s countries.
My admiration for The Reader’s Digest is easily explained: This
magazine deals with human aspirations and achievements; it empha¬ /
sizes the importance of the individual, irrespective of race, color or
creed. It points out, always, the ways to better life.
Now I have seen for myself that The Reader’s Digest a /
world-wide magazine. Wherever I go, 1 see people reading one or
another of its many International Editions. I have become convinced /
that the Digest has had much to do with the creation of the 1 friendli¬
ness and understanding that I have experienced.
When people of different nationalities meet anil find that they have /
read the same articles and are inspired by the same ideas, they have
taken a long step toward becoming friends.
Iii November Readers Digest don’t miss:
• Are you a bore? • Open your eyes to the beauty around you.
• The Andrea Ooria’s untold story. • The problem of impotence: a woman’s viewpoint.
• Why there cannot be another war. • Condensation from forthcoming book: “The One
• What’s happening to the weather? That Got Away.”
