But not even family loyalty could
make the Traps tamper with the
work of a composer, be he ever SO
obscure. So they sing the original
Salzburg version, of which they
recently made a beautiful recording.
Josef with his five children is out

these are just the singing Traps.
The youthful and refreshing naive
mother of this gifted troupe has
three younger ones at home, al

are, to take their places in the
family choir. Only their smiling
father, once q commander in the
Austrian Navy, does not perform

When the Traps sang at Merid-
ian Hill Park this summer, the
Baroness announced each number
and told her audience something
about it. Her halting and Occa-
sionally somewhat surprising Eng
lish charmed her hearers. This
came as a surprise to the Baroness
who had never done anything OF
the sort before, and Mr.. Cappel is
insisting that she brave the mi
crophone again at Constitution
Hall.
In this respect, as in all others
the concert will have the warm in
timacy of the Traps singing in
their own home, the storybook cas-
tie which they lost when they fec
from the Nazi regime. There is nc
stiffness about them, no concert

Gus branches of science. Only when
one realizes the scope Of the plans
do the many diverse and apparently
unrelated exhibits become signif1-
cant. At the preview, the extensive
collection of dolls lent for an in
definite period by Olive Polio and
the colorful display of Czecho-
Slovakian objects presented by
Helenka Classy were the most IN
teresting and attractive groups,
which seemed to offer greatest pos
sibilities for correlated studies along
esthetic lines.
A large number Of miscellaneous
objects given by Mrs. Thomas l..

for many different groups-S large
model of a Swiss chalet, horn cups,
a conch shell embellished with a
beautiful cameo, a Swedish boys
costume, picture plates and many
other items.

Exhibit by Minna Citron ,

The Corcoran Gallery Of Art this
season is showing more small, inti-
mate exhibitions than usual. It is
an excellent plan, for it Is in these
little shows that the artist is most
closely approached. How this may
be is exemplified in the exhibition
of drawings, etchings and litho-
graphs by Minna Citron which may
now be seen in the upper atrium.
The 60 works set forth might all
be listed as drawings, for such they
are, the difference in result merely
being obtained through the use of
different media-lead pencil, crayon,
pen and ink. needle. And, after all,
drawing is the basis of all fine art
a thing too often forgotten these
days. The old masters put great
stress upon drawing, as did the great
printmakers of the past. What is it
but drawing, done with supreme
skill, which has set both Ingres and
David apart, and given distinction
of the highest order to Daumier and
Goya. Where Ingres and David
failed-if fail they did-was when
they tried to translate an exquisite
drawing into painting, forgetful of
the fact that there is fundamental
difference.

it into our hearts and gain the peace
and courage that it can give so
powerfully. Let us relax the tension
of worrisome thought, let us con-
vince ourselves of the power OF
good, let us be serene in the convic-
ton of its ultimate triumph.
Music, that mysterious art, born
in travail in the minds of super
men, without their knowing how
music that praises God as no human
word can do and which speaks OF
His infinite love and care. Is ours
to be had for the asking. We have
it in our midst to help us keep our
courage and our hopes high, to give
us personal peace, to strengthen US
in our battles.

Among the last. most impressive Is
head. perhaps twice life-size, OF
a little girl. "Adriana," cut IN PINK
marble. 1t was to this head that
first honorable mention was given
in the competition for purchase
prize set up by the International
Business Machines Corp. in connec-
ton with the recent National Art
Week Exhibition.
Quite different in style, but also
admirably sculptural, are two soldier
groups, two men each, gunners and
airplane pilots, modelled with gravity
but vital touch and much dignity.
In interesting contrast is a lively
young goat scratching his left ear
with his left hind foot. The single
bronze is a nude figure of little
woman. which, from all points, has
excellent silhouette and shows SEN
sitive modelling. The pieces in terra
Gotta are of quite different kind,
but suited to the material and the
methods imposed thereby. In all
these, Mr.. Calfee shows complete
freedom of both thought and ex-
preston.
A great part of Mr.. Calfee's time
in recent years has been spent doing
murals for public buildings under
the Section of Fine Arts commits
sions awarded through competition
anonymous and unrestricted in most
instances. At present, he Is doing
one for the Harrisonburg (VaD Post
Office, but he already has executed
six others.
Most of the paintings in the ex-
hibition, therefore, were done for
pleasure, partly by way of expert
ment and adventure. One is Of
merry-go-round, another of a
scene on New Hampshire avenue,
under the solid arch way of trees;
yet a third is OF the floating plat
form used for the Summer SYM
phonies near the Water Gate.
These are treated rather impress
sloniStically-but, primarily, they
were impressions, which is there
fore logical.
Mr.. Calfee is Washingtonian by
birth and lifelong residence. He has
large studio at Fourteenth and U
streets NV, and home in George
town. "Adriana" is his own daugh-
ter. At one time, he taught in the
Phillips Gallery Art School, but of

the rlghtneSS OF her line give life
and fine quality to whatever subjects
she essays. For the most part, she
portrays people Of the middle or
lower class, those who make up
much the larger part of the popula-
ton. In picturing such folks, she
manifeStS sympathy and under
standing. Occasionally. a delightful
bit of humor creeps into her pic
ture-but, as the old saying goes,
she laughs with, not at, those she
portrays. Never is she sentimental
nor, on the other hand. pitying or
scornful. The impression which her
collected works give is that of a
cross section of our contemporary
world which cannot fail to be cheer
ing.
Take, for example among her
drawings, Tired Old Knees" an old
woman resting; Paying the Bets,
or several court scenes, reminding
a little of Daumier or Foraln
Among the Autographs is an exceed
ingly humorous scene in a Beauty
Parlor." Some of the subjects, such
as Laying the Bets" appear IN
more than one media-which, IN it
self. adds interest. And one theme
that of young woman "Buffeteo
bv the Wind" appears several times
with different personalities. Inc
etching of a "Heifer" recalls WORKS
bv the Dutchmen of Rembrant
time. although not so completely
carried out. There is a charming
use of line in her portrait drawings
of Sherman" small boy; also. a
nice sense of movement IN her IN
terpretations of musicians playing
and an artist working on large
canvas or mural.
In short. this is very StlmuIatins
little exhibition.
