We are happy to introduce the first in a series of articles by the Guild's roving reporter, the distinguished tenor, Riccardo Martin, remembered for his leading roles at the Metropolitan front 1907 to 1917. The interview which Lilian Focrster describes with Lee Simonson, the renowned artist responsible for the setting of The Ring of the Nibelung, was characterized by Mr. Simonson as "an extraordinarily good job as journalism dramatically presented, direct enough to hold any reader's interest, and very sound and informative technically."
