Gypsy Singer

Before the War most typical of the gay luxuriance of Moscow was Yar's famed restaurant where gypsies sang and danced. A favorite at Yar's was Singer Nastia Poliakova whose deep, dark voice perfectly suited the purely emotional substance, the rambling, improvised style of gypsy songs. After the revolution Poliakova went to sing in a Paris cafe. This year she is in the U. S. to submit her informal, indefinable talent to the test of formal concerts. Manhattan liked her so much that last week she gave a second pro gram there, announced a third. Two of her best songs: "Odor of Lilacs," "What a Chorus Sang at Yar's."
