Review of RECORDINGS

poser's idea of enlarging the scope
of harpsichord playing, an idea that
has widely influenced the style of
piano playing, are basically much
the same, yet there is an original
turn in every one of them. With
Casadesus playing them. they stand
forth as ripping perfection of
sound, crystalline clear and lovely.
In the same release is single
disc on the two sides of which
Gieseking has recorded Debussy's s
two ArabesqueS, No. in E major
and No. 2 in G major. To those
who have been following the record
ings of Debussy's preludes and noe
turnes by the Columbia company,
these Arabesques, played by that
superb Debussy interpreter, Giesek-
ing, will be welcome occurrence.
Ossy Renardy, the violin virtuoso,
who since his appearance with the
National Symphony Orchestra at
the Water Gate will be much more
than name to Washington music
lovers, again records for the Colum-
bia people. This time he plays four
of Sarasate's ''Danses Espagnoles, "
with Walter Robert at the piano.
OF the many Spanish dances which
Sarasate wrote for the violin, Mr..
Renardy chose "Romanza Anda-
luza," "Jota Navarro" "Zapateado"
and "Adios Montanas Mas" This
artist, whose technique resembles
that of Heifetz in its brilliancy,
gives beautiful performance of
these grateful numbers, one that is
interesting, especially for its firm
rhythm and daring speed.

for those who may become i'll in the
future, Cecilia L. Schulz has written
delightful little book that will be
of interest. How to Enjoy III
Health" is a humorous book with a
sound and serious purpose. 1t tells
what the attitude of the patient
should be toward those who are
waiting on him, and how he can
develop tasks and hobbies that will
keep his mind occupied and as free
as possible from his troubles.
Some years ago Ray Giles de-
veloped the hobby of collecting sleep
formulas of famous people. The
compilation of these gatherings, with
added material on the psychology
and healthfulness of sleep, combines
to make "Sleep, the Secret of Greater
Power" an unusual book, and one
that may be of help to those
proverbial counters of sheep"
The author of "An American
Doctors Odyssey" that popular
autobiography of three years ago,
has written another book. In it he
does not prescribe for illnesses, but
he does talk to normal people who
want to keep we'll and who are
capable of higher health standard.
1t is stimulating and yet satisfying
sort of book. you're the Doctor"
does not mean that you should not
"see your DOCTOR" but it, and the
other titles, may help make the re-
lationship easier for both you and
the physician.

Capture Audiences.
Hardly once since the first ap-
pearance in this country OF the
great ballerina, Anna Pavlowa, have
dancers so captured the imagina-
ton of their audiences as did
Miriam WinsloW and Foster Fitz-
Slmons on their first American tour
this last season. In city after city
across the country they played to
standing room only-an almost un-
precedented achievement for dancers
and were hailed by the press as
"the newest, most exciting partner
ship in the dance" New and exclt-
ing this partnership certainly Is
but in spite of their youth neither
of the partners is anything like a
novice. Miss WinsloW, a product OF
Back Bay Boston, was dancing with
the DenishaWn group when she was
10. At IS she had taken over the
Braggiot-Denlshawn School, expo
nent of that school of the dance IN
New England Following that she
toured the country with Ted Shawn,
studied in Munich with Wigman,
in Salzurg with Kreutzberg, in Spain
with the claSsicist Otero and the
gypsy Fraquillo, and returned to this
country to form her own group.
Mr.. Fitz-Simons, a young athlete
from North Carolina, set out to be
playwright by studying with Fred
erick Koch, director of the Uni
versity of North Carolina Play
makers At the same time he Or
ganized a group of men dancers
and it was this that brought him
to the attention of Ted Shawn who
had just formed his own group along
similar lines. After five years with
Shawn as first dancer he joined
Miss WinsloW two years ago and
after a year of preparation and
creation the two set off on last
seasons sensational country-wid
tour. Their New York debut at
the Guild Theater in April was
repetition of their triumphs on the
road. Together, Miss WinsloW and
Mr.. Fitz-Simons will dance Clique"
to music from Bach's Fifth French
Suite; 'Pastorale" to music by
Ippolitov-Ivanov, and Chrome to
Guion's "Harmonica Player" Alone,
Miss Winslow will dance "Lepre-
chaun" with Shostakovitch music,
and "Magnifcat" to Bach's Air on
G String For his solo numbers
Mr.. Fitz-Simons will do "Archangel"

By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Several of the best-known pianists
have been busy preparing the re-
cordings that are released this
month by the Columbia Recording
Corp. Prominent among these
stands the name of Emil Sauer who
has not made a recording for some
time and here performs the List S
Concerto No. / in E fiat major.
Accompanying him is the Orchestre
de la Societe des Concerts du Con-
servatoire directed by Felix Vein
gartner
Emil Sauer is one of the few re-
naming great pianists of that age
SO enriched by extraordinary talent
on this instrument. He was a pupil
List. His life was. actively inter-
woven with that of the most re-
noWned artists and composers of
the times who regarded him as one
of the finest eXponents of this
branch of music. Making his name
known as a concert pianist, by con-
certizing throughout the world, he
also found time for teaching having
been head of the piano department
of the Vienna Conservatory, later
establishing himself in Dresden.
AS pupil and intimate friend of
Liszt, his reading of the concerto
can be considered especially au-
thentic. Although he will be II
years old on October 8 his playing
is full of fire and verve One may
miss warmth and abandon but the
exquisite skill in turning phrase
and the sound mucianship of this
master more than compensates for
the temperamental flare that a
younger virtuoso might give to this
concerto.
Felix Weingartner, who is about
months the junior of Sauer, was
also friend of Liszt, who aided the
young musician considerably by
producing his first opera, "Sakun-
tala" in Weimar in 1884. The re-
cording of the concerto by these two
men so closely associated with the
composer is made with keen under
standing, the brilliant technical
command of the soloist matched by
fine instinct for effect of the con-
ductor
Pianists in particular will be de-
lighted with the II sonatas by Scar
latti which Robert Casadesus re-
cords. Just the mere joining of the
two names would guarantee. the
best, for Casadesus has a style capa-
BILE of doing full justice to such
charming and delicate works as
these sonatas. Edited by Alessandro
Longo, they represent the best pres
entation of the works of Dominica
Scarlatti, the friend of Handel.
These charming comparatively
short works which carried the COM

Slav Music at Fair

Among the sound films to be heard
at the Soviet Pavilion at the New
York Worlds Fair is Shosta-
kovich's Fifth Symphony" which
has been played before in this coun-
try and has had a great success in
the U. S. S. r. Another interesting
composition is "A Contest Between
the Ashugs" from Reingold Gliere S
opera "Shakhsenem. CThe Ashugs
are folk troubadours who travel from
town to town and improvise their
songs. Gliere went to Azerbaijan,
in the Southern Caucasus, to write
this opera, basing his music on the
native folk songs and his subject on
the native history. Also among the
sound films are many songs by the

Books on Health Interest
Public Library Patrons

Demand for books on health SUBJ
jects is on the increase at the
Central Public Library, Eighth and
K streets NV, and its branches
This does not mean that people are
not as healthy as they used to be,
but rather that they are more in
terested in keeping well.
Among the many books on the
subject published in recent years,
the library has tried to select those
which, without encroaching on the
physicians prerogative. help make
ones physical and mental life
happier. A half f-dozen of the more
popular titles are noted here.
Jerome w. Ephraim's Take Care
of Yourself" is one of the most in
teresting of the recently published
health books. The book covers a
wide field of subjects, such as how
to enjoy your morning shave, how
to care for your skin, how to reduce,
how to keep your hair on, and many
other things that should prove valu-
able to any individual, man as well
as woman. For those who are won-
dering whether they should do a
little more exercising, Dudley R.
Reeds Keep Fit and Like IT. may
prove helpful as we'll as entertaining.
The author first discusses the
physiological and psychological as
poets of exercise, then goes into a
discussion of number of our most
recreative sports, and finally sum-
marizes the value of sports to man
and his wife, man and his sons, and
man and his associates.
The thought of staying young
seems to be present in the minds of
everybody. Daniel w. Josselyn tells
how it can be done in his "You Can

factors that the author describes are
