Although she was known on the European continent as one of the finest interpreters of colorature roles before coming to America in 1949, Mme. Berger's voice up to that time was known in this country only to record connoisseurs. Now, she is heing acclaimed as one of the foremost artists of the day. Mme. Berger is described by newspaper interviewers as sprightly, friendly and completely natural, modest and unassuming. When she visits a town on a concert tour she tries to get its flavor, if time permits, by strolling through its streets. Mme Berger was born in Dresden, grew up in Paraguay and began her career as a member of the Dresden Opera company. = ^VYajL SNAKES AID POLIO DRIVE The annual basketball game be- ERNA BERGER John Huntington, president of the Stock Managers Association, Inc., -who presents the Saratoga Springs; N.
