Spanish CeIIist Proves Master

B New SUBMITS
BY JESSIE MCBRIDE.

Casals of Spain! Casals, whose
mellowstoned cello recalls his native
land; but who also stands foremost
at the court Of the ''purists" In hrs
musical perfection, gave, his only re-
cital Of the season at the National
Theateri yesterday afternoon, with
that rarely fine pianist, Edouard
Cendron as accompanist. It was q
'Star" concert presented by t. Ar
thur Smith, Inc.
Mr.. Casals dares the severest Of
programs. He gave six unacconn.
panied gems, at the opening, in the
Bach Suite in G, then followed q
most charming eighteenth century
Sonata Of Breval, then the Saint
Saens Concerto in A minor, with q
group OF four Of the standard violin
works to close.
just once did he challenge the
curiosityo OF his audience. and that in.
his final encore. fascinating Inter.
Enezzo" OF GranadOs, his country
man, with q piquant oddness to It
that was delightful. Broad steps Of
tone introduced it. plucked from the
cello, made into mystery by the.
piano. Here was the modern pastel
into which the cello suddenly wove
e. lovely lyric with fine contrapuntal
development, with appeal to tina in
tellectual or to the elnoticnalist who
reveled in an elusive touch CT
Spain, or in pure melody.
Melody! Casals' Bach Is as fine,
in Inelodic detail as a miniature. 1t
is also as colorful. The comparison
may be carried far, for there IS not
q shade or single breath Of tome
that IS not articulated, with its full
musical value, in. every phrase Of
this master cellist. That is the
vastness Of his musicianship, with q
virtuosity that gives complete back
grounds Of sound from his Single
bow.
He put a delightful Illusion into
the formal BrevaI Sonata, that came
just after an echoed cadence almost
danced along on his strings. Far of
there came the sound OF the hunters
horn! Or again, one felt the deep
emotion In the Saint-Saens' music IN
which Mr.. Cendron rose to solo
heights in episodes for the piano,
though there were times wien his
piano was too much subdued.
Faure's lovely song "Aprea un
reve" was Mr.. Casa1s' first encore,
the rich-toned "Danse Espagnoi,s of
Granados, his second, with the finas
strains OF the Granados Inter
mezzo" making one wish he had been
with all his rare art-a. greater
apostle OF the modern.

More than 60 years ago San Bernar

journey.
What Is now known as Lake Arrow.

The lost trails are believed to huv,

were stemmed and Little Bear lake
came Into existence. Later Il huge
earth-filled dam 1900 feet wide ut the
base, with n capacity of 775 acres of
water created Lake Arrowhead.
In the virgin forest of ok, cedar
