survey has to do with the life lived
by the average citizen.
AS the record is brought more
nearly up to date a lethargy seems
to come over it, some of the spirit
which so delightfully."- has enlivened
up to this point seems to flick out
the artists have less to say and say
it with much less ardor 1t is diff
ficult to understand why this should
be, when it is known that the field
of vision has so greatly increased
and the happenings so largely null
tiplied Some will say that the pho
tographer has taken the field which
these earlier artists occupied, but
that is not altogether true, for many
of the works shown are of artistic
value aside from subjective inter-
est. There is great vogue today
for the American scene, but as
painted it is found to have little
allure. Is the trouble with our art
or with our life? 1t is a little hard
to say. But that there is something
wrong there is no doubt.
What do we find in the later-day
section? Some paintings by John
Sloan, among which are his we'll
known "McSorleys Bar" Wake of
the Ferry and Six O'clock the
two last lent by the Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery. and perhaps best of
all. the Dust Storm, Fifth Avenue
which, however, derives chief inter-
est by rendition of sWirling motion;
also two well-known works by
George Bellows-the boxing match
at Sharkeys. which he litho-
graphed as we'll as painted, and
Cliff Dwellers," a scene in the tene-
ment district of downtown, East
Side New York. But also with these
one finds studio interior by the late
William NJ Chase and a delight
full interior with figures. Joseph
inc and Mercie," by Edmund c..
Tarbell, his own daughters in their
summer home, representing truly
typical phase of American life-a
canvas owned and lent by the Cor
coran Gallery of Art-as we'll as the
portrait of the late Theodore Roose-
welt by Sargent which comes from
the walls of the White House, and a
painting by Jonas Lie of the Guile
bra Cut'-that great engineering
feat which before the Great War
was brought to completion.
If one wishes to continue the study
of American life during the last 300
years the Metropolitan Museum af-
fords much additional opportunity
in it's American wing and its COL
lections of old silver, glass and fur
nishings. The backward glance is
not always wise or reassuring. but
in this instance there is nothing to
fear and much to gain therefrom.
Not only should this exhibition en-
gender pride in our past but point
the way to better living in the fu-
ture. Could art of an honest, SIM
pie sort serve finer purpose?

Review of RECORDINGS

Tragic in his dependency at not
receiving the appointment to the
government school at Laibach, which
he sought. With the opening meas
ures. one realizes the business of the
appelation, although the dark and
sombre mood does not continue for
long. But while it does, there is all
OF the great dramatically gift of
Schuberts present in abundance.
Following the charming themes of
the second movement is the strong
third wherein the brooding thoughts
of the first is completely left behind.
The composer chooses a delightful
rhythm for the final movement
which rises exceptionally free and
flowing to tremendous power with
somewhat of Wagnerian character
to it. Mr.. Barbirolle achieves
particularly vital reading of it.
Mozart was said to be a stickler for
piano style which he believed should
flow like OIL" 1t is too bad he
could not have heard Iturbi play this
lovely sonata that reaches such va
rlety and charm through his emo
tional treatment of it. He makes it
tender and gay at the same time as
sparkling and expressive. On the
final disc he records the strange
"Marche Funebre' from Lazar's
Sonata for Piano" a work that
leaves one with mixed feelings.
Flip Lazar was a Rumanian. who
died in Paris in 1886. after busy
and PROLIFIC life of composing, in
terrupted by the years he served
his country during the World War.
Perhaps his impressions of that ex-
perience account for the almost
gruesome character of the work
where harsh tolling of mighty bells
and the boom of cannon seem to be
heard above the solemn requiem
melody. 1t is not strictly a march,
but seems to embody a deeper sig
nificance than an ordinary funeral
procession.
A variety of color is to be found
in Bloch's Concerto Crosse" The
work was composed in 1924-25, dur
ing Bloch's residence in New Mexico
and his subsequent transferal to
Cleveland. The tragic outlook
which is always associated in this
composers writing is most fully ex-
pressed in part of the prelude and
in the second movement. which is
called "Dirge.' From this point he
seems to 60 backward to younger
and more cheerful mood so that
the movement entitled, "Pastorale
and Rustic Dances" is full of fire
and vigor, with ever a touch of
originality in treatment. The final
movement is in a classic style Of
fugue, where the quartet of instru-
ments is clearly defined
Sibelius' "Canzonetta" is a visit
full composition, very melodic and
lyrical, with that particularly lonely
and yearning quality with which
this great master expresses himself
so profoundly. The Curtis Chamber
Music Ensemble has an excellent,
unified tone and play with great
deal of shadings.
