CORTOT DELIGHTS
SMALL AUDIENCE

Alfred Cortot, who Is claimed to
be the foremost pianist of France
today. was heard in his FIRST recital
in Washington at the Belasco Thea
ter yesterday afternoon in the
course OF concerts given by the
Washington Fine Arts Enterprises.
Enthusiasm greeted the truly great
art OF this master pianist, although
an audience too, few in number was
there to do homage to a program
that held one captive with its strong
individual stamp and the wealth and
variety OF its imagery.
NJ Cortot has a broad and COM
handing sweep in his playing,
rhythm that is compelling and that
follows, from his remarkable freedom
In brilliantly executed passages, into
the lure OF his lento playing. But
above all II is the idea he finds in
his music and gives in such graphic
phrases that carries one away. to
his wonderland OF tone pictures.
Power Of DeIIneatIon.
What matters It II there are false
notes-and there were-they do not
rob the lily Of its perfume nor do
they lessen the added charm he has
put into the twenty-four preludes of
Chopin, to which he has appended
phrases to let his hearers into an
intimate sympathy with his pictur-
esque, or elusive, or his tragic con-
cepts. They are q volume. telling in
enhancing tone. in airiest fancy, or
most poignant fate, these ''thoughts"
OF the great Pole whose almost cruel
message in the finale N. Cortot epit-
npnfgAa rryffh a. L..
1upte, de Ia Mort"-Life, Passion,
Death!
His power OF delineatior, too, ere
ates new thing in much that he
touches. Debussy he plays with
revelations. Ia Cathedrale en-
gloutie"-mystic atmosphere is here
out OF which seems to rise in ghost
ly grandeur a Rheims, in tone, that
fades away into a mist of question
ing. unresolved Debussyism. Min
strels"-he summoned them in all
moods, in all tones, gay. Elusive,
strident, bizarre, that made IL a COM
panion in type to the Albeniz 'AIala-
guena" with its Spanish warmth,
phrases Of type, and . reoitativs of
southern romance.
Absorbing Individuality.
From Debussy again, he evoked
THAT which the West Wind sees-
into q tormented ocean OF piano
cross = currents, angry dissonance
and mystery. That seems to be the
art OF this Frenchman,
who also touches with a facile light |
ness thoughts that are buoyant or
gently elegant, like the courtly |
speech of his land.
Combined with his ever insistent /
rhythm is the striking power Of his |
left hand in bringing through the |
inner depths OF his music, in sus-
tanning a deep background in his
music painting. that his pedalinE
suffuses and enriches. For mastery
in execution. amazing freedom and
exquisite phrase and form, the
"Etude in form Of
waltz" was a climax. While the
Liszt Second Rhapsodie" was a
rare tone drama in every mood, with

imagination to an unusual degree.

Chicago Stock Yards
Worlds MeSS-Tent

From the very beginning of hostilities, before
America entered her fighting forces, tremendous
supplies of food were going forward to the
Allied Armies from the Chicago Stock Yards.
Without this food those with whom this country
was later associated in its fight for democracy
could not have carried on. When America en-
tered as a belligerant the food requirements
became colossal. And yet, in the face of almost
insurmountable obstacles, in spite of livestock
shortage, labor shortage and freight congestion,
every requirement of the Government was full
filed by the packing houses without delay.
Moreover, the great American food-purveyors
financed their own war operations and went the
limit, notwithstanding Government restricted
profits. And on top Of all Of the trenen-
dous emergency demand the ordinary civilian
requirements Of this country we're met Now,
face to face with the necessity of still maintain
ing the rate of production that was present
before an armistice was signed, organisations,
such as that of Armour and Company, viii have
to increase their output to an even greater ex-
tent to help feed our former enemies

The Fate of Nations
Depends Upon
How They Are Fed"

So declared brilliant Frenchman many years
ago and the statement has been affirmed by
scores of leaders since. Food affects an army's
morale. Not only is the right food necessary
to maintain the boys in prime physical condi-
ton in France; it is necessary in order that they
may come back to US filter and stronger even
than they went away.
Today-such is the situation-the fate of the
world depends upon how America handles food.
Thanks to the prompt action of the Government,
the preparedness of great food-purveying insti-
tutions such as Armour's and the patriotic viii
hngness of the American people to obey every
wish of the Food Administration, the World
stands safe and strong.
The system of feeding our Army and Navy
adopted by our Government is a composite of
Americas great food-purveying concerns, and,
because of their tremendous efficiency, the COM
missariat problem confronting the Government
which mil ght otherwise have been very difficult of
solution, was worked out quickly and successfully
