Lawrence Tibbett.

Mr. Tibbett showed sincere interest in the proposal. He believes that several Universities of U.S.A. are giving a lead in developing a musical taste or the very best that music has to offer by sponsoring very attractive concerts. The University or Louisiana, or example, has a festival first week in May, and engages the best artists in the country. He did not think the scheme too ambitious and hoped the students would themselves take an active part in festivities. Lawrence Tibbett stated that he hoped to return to New Zealand in 1940 provided an agreement can be signed with his manager. "Guest artist" Tibbett would seem to be the logical choice.
