Miss Travis
SparkleS in
Recital
Young Artist
Reveals Amazing
Talent at Piano
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

A talent of amazing proportions
was revealed last evening in the
piano recital given by Elizabeth
Travis at the Arts Club. The young
artist is remembered for her per-
Torrance some time ago with the
National Symphony Orchestra, but
the fuller opportunity offered by
the program yesterday gave still bet
ter scope for appraisal of her gifts.
Miss Travis has recently returned
from a tour of South America.
That she is an artist in whom
delicacy of perception rules was
evident in each number. Her techni-
cal f1uency allows of power and
brtlliancy in the same ratio as her
command of the finest colorinp
W1thall, she underlines her effects
with a personal conception that
has the charm of originality.
She set herself a task in the
programing of Bach "Chromatic
Fantasy and Fugue" together with
Schumann's "Phantasie in G Major.
Up. II" as the first part of her group
OF numbers and in so doing placed
the range of her virtuosity and
musicianship clearly before her
audience. The grandiose character
OF The Bach, its mighty sweep and
lts passionate utterance were por-
trayed with fiery abandon vet with
respect for the clarity of its form
The tremendous bravura passages
were given with a resonance and
surge astonishing in SO Young a
player while the even spacing of
effect in the fugue itself was mas
terly in its proportion.
The temptation which MANY
pianists feel to give tone and still
more tone in the Schumann "Phan-
TASTE did not control Miss Travis
to the exclusion of lyricism. She
made a special point of emphasizing
the contrast giving the poetic
melody with singing expressive tone
and bringing about the subdued
ending with skillfully applied logic
But IN the many opportunities
which the "PhantaSie" offers for
an unleaShing of volume and fire
she was most eloquent. Applause
Of unreStrained enthusiasm reward
ed her at the conclusion of her
dazzling performance.
Among the shorter numbers that
followed were Chopin's "Berceuse"
and the 'Etudes in G Flat, Opus
TO-" that in &C Sharp Minor, Opus
Is" and the "A Minor. Opus 25".
Pick-Mangiagalli's Dance d'Olaf. !"
Dennee's The Whirling Doll" and
the Russian Dance" from Stra-
vlnsky's "Petrouchke" The light
fluent quality and the elan which
characterized her playing of the
EtudeS, her fine phraSing and
musical feel for the climax of each
idea, were refreshing in their
spontanelty while the whimsical
touch in the "Danse dOlaf" was
another facet of her artistic en-
dowment.
The sincerity and the simplicity
OF Miss Travis art dominates her
playing. This, together with the
alert intelligence with which she
directs her effects should bring her
far. Her audience at the Arts Ch,b
did Its share to impress its ap-
probation on her.

R. {. A. Plans Expansion
In Work for Defense

Facilities for the manufacture of
radio apparatus for national defense
purposes are being increased rapidly,
as result of the placement OF
orders for necessary machine tools
last summer in advance of Govern
ment orders, according to officials of
the Radio Corp. of America, who
disclosed yesterday that R. C. A
has arranged to borrow $4,000, 600
for expansion of research and pro-
duction facilities to speed national
defense orders.
The radio industry, it was said, is
gearing its machinery to speed up
the manufacture of all types Of radio
apparatus. Vacuum tubes, it was
added, now are being turned out at
the rate of 100000 daily.
The R. C. A. laboratories have
been enlisted by the Government
oticials to aid in solution of defense
problems, said Meade Brunei, r. c
A. manager of engineering products
He added:
For more than six months r
C. A. has been training additional
personnel, while expanding research
and production facilities, in a pro-
gram that has added considerably tc
employment. The program was
carefully mapped last June. Thor
oughly co-ordinated all along the
line, it has entailed an expenditure
of several million dollars in tools
and in expanding manufacturing
space. We recognize that defense is
self-preservation. and that is why
plans were so elaborately made early
! in 1940."
