Casper Reardon, who made a
place for the harp in the halls Of
jazz, received tribute from q fellow
musician last year in the form Of 4
musical composition. Scored orig
lnally for harp and orchestra, young
Man With Harp" by Dana Suesse,
now appears on records rearranged
to suit the talents, not only of Mr..
Reardon, but Of Composer Pianist
Suesse and Chauncey Morehouse,
percussionist Of wide repute.
Occupying two discs of the Schir-
mer Record stamp, the suite Is di-
vided into three movements: PRO
cessional," impression Of an Egyp-
tian Pharaoh's parade; "Evensong,"
an idea Of Irish minstrelsy; "Twen.
tieth Century Madrigal," an esca-
pade In jazz. Distinctly, yet inof-
fensively, In the modern" idiom the
first and third sections provide q
study in contrasts whereby an
identical theme is treated as q dig
nified march, then renovated To
swing style. Mr.. Reardon tempers
with orthodox, arpeggios and chords
any ultramodern tendencies which
may lurk in the first, while In the
finale he supplies rich jazz furbish-
ings Of familiar design; in short, he
exhibits his renowned adroitness in
capturing the jazz spirit and relay
ing 1t through nimble f1ngertips.
'Evensong," q ballad Of typically
Irish derivations, glows with lyric
simplicity.
Dana Suesse. whose plano sup
port in this suite represents consid-
erably more than common spade
work, also Is In line for highest
praise, and Mr.. Morehouse at the
percussion deserves equal credit.

10 supplement the recent inno-
vation by the Victor Co. in the line
of less expensive records, an
nouncement has come from the
headquarters Of the Columbia Co.
of a new output of green seal
discs" to fill the greater demand
for popular classics" in the SYM
phonic, operate and solo instru-
mental fields. The price lists of
the new recordings by both COM
panies are the same. Columbia
intends to have the green seal
discs supersede the blue ones Of the
7O00-M series, with the latter ones
carried on as long as the old supply
lasts.
AS an Introductory offer, Colum-
bia has placed on the market orches-
trations of George Gershwin's high
lights from "Porgy and Bess";;
Summertime" I'm on My Way"
II Got Plenty O. Nuttin," and "Bess,
You Is My Woman Now" all of
which appear on a 12-inch disc, and
another of the same size, with De-
bussy's clair de Lune" and Ravel's
"Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte, -
arranged for orchestra by Andre
Kostelanetz and Adolf Schmid, re-
spectively. The compositions are
presented by Kostelanetz and his
strings, well known to radio audi
ences. The recordings are unusually
good for sorority and clarity,
representative of celebrated French
and American modern classics,
which speaks well for the new
policy of the enterprise and the
endeavor to be of greater assistance
in meeting the growing demand for
good music.

Review of Recordings

In addition to the above-men-
toned green seal discs, there have
been new releases of single record
ings with the familiar blue label
Among these are two works by
Tschaikowsky, in keeping with his
centennial celebration this year. His
symphony No. in E Minor, op. g."
which achieved such widespread
popularity within the last decade, is
remarkable for its emotional
strength and the interrelation OF its
thematic material. Artur Rod
zinski, at the head of the Cleveland
Orchestra, expertly wields the sep
arate movements into a gigantic
whole.
Tschaikowsky's first String Quar-
tet in D Major, op. H." famous for
its "Andante Cantabile," which has
been orchestrated and given many
other versions, is played by the Roth
Quartet group. It is a work by a
younger master than the one who
wrote the symphony, one who fol-
lowed the established traditions for
a pleasing melodic line. It is only
In the last movement that one feels
the composer giving more rein to
his individuality. The delightful
"fetes villageoise" spirit finds its
counterpart in the masterful read
ing of the players. On the whole
the national element Of the compo-
sition remained unrevealed by the
performers without causing any
great disturbance in the general
effect, which is most gratifying to
the average ear.

Jewish Council Is Told
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Jan. PA Phila-
delphia Quaker told the Council OF
Jewish Federations and Welfare
Funds at it's seventh annual assem-
bly, today that refugees coming
to America from Europe were an
asset rather than a liability.
There is a general impression,
said Clarence Pickett. executive
secretary of the American Friends
Service Committee. that the refu-
gee is a liability and that the i'm
migrant is in competition with
American labor.
The British experience with
1000 refugees is that the immi-
grants created employment and
gave jobs to $1,000 British subjects.
A study by our committee reveals
similar results in this country"
DR.. Chain Weizmann, president
of the Jewish Agency for Palestine,
declared that the return of Europe
to normal human existence when
peace is achieved is the hope for
Jews who today ARE but pawns in
the hands of the majorities in each
of the countries in which they live"

than 500 delegates from IA councils
