Violin Recital
by MiIstein
Is Superb
Enthusiastic Audience Hears
Russian in Concert at
EngIiSh'S.
BY JAMES THRAsHER

Truly "Toscanini of the violin"
as one writer has called him,
Nathan Milstein made a welcome
temperance at Englishs yester-
day before an enthusiastic audi
ence. This young Russian, like the
great conductor, allows the COM
poser to speak through him and
colors each composition with
superb artistry.
There is a rare quality of in
evitability in Mr.. Milstein's play
ing. Each phrase is delivered with
authority and absolute "rightness,'
that makes us feel it could not be
changed without detriment
Technically, of course, Mr.. Mil
stein has everything" A tone,
rich, varied and of amazing power,
unerring accuracy and dazzling
skill Of bow and fingers. Yet this
equipment never is used for mere
display. He is master musician
even more than master violinist
An excellent delivery of familiar
music made up the first half of the
program. The Vital Chaconne was
played with strength and dignity,
yet colored with infinite shading.
To the Bach G Minor Sonata, Mr..
MilStein brought complete under
standing of its structural and emo
tional content.
Turns to LaIO
Turning to the Symphonic ES-
pagnole" of Lalo, the violinist dis
closed the full warmth and
vibrancy of his singing tone, and
thrilled his listeners with a spirited
performance that knew no techni-
cal limitations.
In the Lalo and throughout the
recital, Mr.. Milstein was assisted
by the masterful Accomplishments
of Leopold Mittman, collaboration
par excellence.
Mr.. Milstein avoided the we'll
worn paths of the violinists rather
limited repertoire in his closing
groups. His own prescriptions of
Consolation" by List, Kodaly's
1T Rains in the Village" THE
Seamstress," by Moussorgsky, and
Chopin Nocturne were followed by
Paganini's LA Campanella."
Though designed more for dis
play of lovely tone and breath
taking dexterity. each selection
bore tie mark of the players in
nate artistry. Vic iawskys Polo
naise de Concert THE Bundle
Bee by Rimsky- Korsakoff, and a
third encore, ended an afternoon
OF music to be treasured in the
memories of those who heard it.

Most of Captain Knights lecture
and movies dealt with James, a
large Marshall Hawk-Eagle and one
of the rarest of the bird family.
This pictorial history began with
James as an egg in his parents
nest, in an African treetop.
In hideout near the nest, which
measured seven feet in diameter,
Mir. Knight "shot" James from the
day he was born until he left him
in England to start this lecture
tour.
Bird Developed Swiftly
When the lone egg in the hawk
eagles nest Clipped open, James
emerged a fluffy, downy bird with
big eyes. Swiftly he developed into
a full-grown hawk with a wing
spread of eight feet. He is now an
ardent student in the captains fall
conry school.
A graduate of that school, "Mr.
Ramshaw," large brown eagle, was
with Captain Knight. He flew about
the stage after a piece of tough
pork. The same bird was here five
years ago.
Pictures of side trips to little
island inhabitated mostly by pen
gums, and to wild game reserves in
Africa, were included in the lecture.
The third lecture in the series is
to be given Sunday afternoon by
Alexander Marley on Mysteries of
the Maori Tribes"

Shirley was dressed in red SOL
der trousers with blue stripes and
a red, white and blue striped jer-
sey shirt She carried wooden
sword on her shoulder and danced
like toy doll. In the corner of
the room was wooden pop gun
which she fired during the rest
periods.
After going through the routine
by herself, Alice Faye and Jack
Haley, who will appear in the pic
ture with her, joined Shirley in
the dance. She wore them out
with her tiny tapping toes. AS
she danced, she counted her beats
and didn't miss one of the breaks
in the number.
MRS. GEORGE F. TEMPLE
Iva her mother, sat in corner
of the studio and occasionally
told Shirley to hold her sword
straight. Otherwise, the young
ster did as she pleased.
Shirley practices her dances
from GAS to IL o'clock in the
morning and another hour in
the afternoon. Following her
morning rehearsal, she goes to
school.
Her teacher is Lillian Barclay,
head of the Twentieth Century
Fox school for new talent. She
was appointed by the State Board
of Education to instruct Shirley
and spends most of the day with
the youngster, even when they're
not at lessons.

night by 8 o'clock and doesn't
have to be told number of times
to go to sleep.
Before retiring. her father reads
her the "Oz Books" which she
thinks are thrilling. And Shirley

her off on her nightly journeys to

She has her own little cottage
on the Twentieth Century Fox
studio lot 1t is a four-room blue
and-white stucco bungalow. One
room contains a white doll house
and garden. The little brown eyed
beauty has between 200 and 800
dolls in her collection. Recently
she received a six-foot doll from
japanese admirers. A number of
the dolls are replicas of the quin-
tuplets, whom she adores.
THE bungalow is done entirely
l. in blue and white. One room
contains a kitchen where her
lunches are prepared. Another
room has a huge mirror and
dressing table along one wall.
This room is also used as her
school house and has little

living room has large couch COW

In the backyard she has
swing, and pen where she
keeps her pet rabbits and chick
ems. Before Shirley reports on
her daily lessons, her teacher has
to report on the number of eggs
the chickens have laid. Shirley
eats the eggs for breakfast.
A healthy youngster, she is
anything but tomboy. Nobody
but her mother touches her
golden locks. Mrs. Temple even
cuts her hair, which she'll have to
be doing soon, for it's getting
heavy. She also handles much of
Shirley's fan mail, which averages
5000 letters a week, one-tenth of
which is from foreign followers
of the child star.
What does Shirley want to be
when she grows up? Her answer
to that serious question is:
Il want to grow up and get

teacher. She also studies arith-

Dixie Up North

Census figures just released
in Washington on the nativity
of Negroes in large northern cit
les provide a surprise. Only a
small percentage of Amer-Ne
groes now resident in either
Harlem or Chicago were born in
the north, but of course these
are not the people one meets.
Your acquaintance saw the
light Of day in Michigan or
Ohio or Maine.
From the number of people
who tell you they were born in
Pennsylvania or Massachusetts,,
either could pass for the 49th
Estate. Your urban dweller who
has been north long enough to
change his ways may know
some people from Mississippi
or Alamaba but he has met
them only since they left Dexie.
No doubt these statistics will
go a long way toward clearing
up what becomes of the Georg-
ian or Tennesseean who leaves
his home state. Although the
people you Philadelphans know
have never been south, still you
can rest assured that migrating
Negroes have not disappeared
like the Lsot Tribes of Israel
and many of them are hiding

Very well, we have states
rights. We have them so strong
that many of Roosevelt plans
some good, some bad-for
bringing back prosperity have
been knocked in the head and
killed. Let the states relinquish
these all-important rights and
Washington can have a free
hand to battle unemployment
and poverty. The supreme court
because it champions states
rights, would probably call the
Costigan-W Wagner auti-lynching
bill unconstitutional as well as
any other national measure
aimed to benefit the Negro. The
supreme court, you remember,
made its infamous bred Scott
decision to preserve the sover-
ignity of individual common
wealths.
