Whyte Gallery Presents
Its Summer, Exhibition

Among the works of unmistakable
beauty are Olin Dows' Landscape,
a water color study in greens; Alex
ander Clayton's Little Cove, "
shimmering with sunlight; Mar
guerite Kumm's Edge in the Mea-
dow" very small but worthy of at
tention; Spring Garden" by Alice
Strong, blooming with soft, fresh
colors; Lois NJ. Jones Boats in the
Rain" painted in a delicate scheme
of gray-green, blue and white.
Many village and street scenes
are included among these land
scapes," and quite number depict
Washington subjects: Georgetown" !"
by Esther Stewart, emphasizing the
old houses, as does Lucille Haynes
engaging version of the same theme.
Lucille Wilkinson's treatment of
"Longfellow Building" is as stark
and simple as the edifice itself.
Paul and Emile Arlt are repre-
sented with aspects Of the National
Gallery Of Art. The former, in an
interior view, presents the magnif1-
cent rotunda as menacing in its
colossal size and weight of black
marble columns contraSted with
the dwarfed visitors at their feet,
and the figure of Mercury, raKishly
silhouetted against the light vista
of the gallery beyond. Mrs. Arlt's
water color is straightforward
rendering of the exterior from the
Mall.

Landscapes by artists of Wash
ington and vicinity constitute the
Whyte Gallery's summer exhibition,
which opened to the public last
Wednesday to continue until August
Is. There are 65 works by nearly
as many artists; in only two or three
instances is an artist represented
more than once. Oil paintings COM
prise half of the display, water
colors are second large group, and
there are about 10 examples of the
graphic arts. The exhibition occu-
pies all the wall space in both gallery
and bookshop.
Predominantly pleasant subject
matter unifieS the show. as does also
the small size of most of the exhibits.
There is practically no work shown
that would not fit comfortably into
an apartment. However, there is
marked variation in treatment and
quality of work, as one would expect
from so extensive collection. The
works range from naturalism to
distractions, and from appealing
subjects beautifully presented to
others which may have been pleas
ant in their conception, but have
been compromised in handling. Nor
are the outstanding works confined
to any particular group; they in
clude both naturalistic and abstract
paintings and others in between.

Traps Bring
to
Music Series
Chamber Group to
Be Given Locally
AT Meridian Hill

Much of the worlds great
chamber music literature was
written for the human voice, that
most flexible Of instruments. But
beyond an occasional recital. little
of this intimate vocal music Is
heard. Music lovers are inclined to
think only Of instrumentalists in
connection with chamber music.
However, during the Starlight
Chamber Music Concerts, to be
given at Meridian Hill Park for six
weeks beginning July 8, the Trapp
Family Singers will provide WASH
ington audiences with a demonstra-
ton of vocal chamber music.
This delightful family specializes
in seldom heard early chorals,
madrigals so beloved of the Eliza
bethans, and art songs by the great
classic and romantic composers. The
Traps unique artistry began with
a hobby for a cappella singing Of
beautiful old music. With their
deepening interest, they took up the
playing of the old instruments
which should accompany ancient
songs, of recorders, those ancestors
of the flute, the viol da gambia and
the harpsichord.
For all their professional mastery
of singing and playing, their music
was no more than fun for them
until Lotte Lehman urged them
to let the world enjoy 1t with them.
Since they were launched on a
concert career, they have sung for
royal families of Europe. Their
only appearance in Washington was
not a public one. but at a private
concert in the White House. Every
where, the handsome wife, five
daughters, and two sons of Baron
Georg Won Trapp have won ex-
traordinary praise. Their fine
phonograph recordings have earned
equal approval. They are pleasure
to see as well as hear, since they
appear in their native Tyrolean
costume. Meridian Hill Park, with
its look of an 18th century garden,
will provide them with a perfect
background.
The first weeks programs will be
played by the newly organized but
already famed Primrose Quartet,
founded and led by the distin-
guished British viola player, Will
liam Primrose. For its first concert
on Tuesday, July 8, the Primrose
Quartet will play the Mozart
Quartet in D Minor" a group of
shorter pieces, and the Smetana
Quartet, From My Life" Their
second program on Friday, July IL,
will open with Haydn's Lark"
Quartet, and include Dvoraks
popular American quartet and the
Schumann Piano Quintet, with
Betty Handy at the piano.

series, which Will continue twice a
week through July 81. Except for
this week, when Sunday and
Wednesday will be the concert eve
nings, all concerts will be played
on Monday and Thursday nights.
The second concert, on Wednes-
day evening, because of its proximity
to Independence Day, will have a
patriotic theme, and an all-Ameri-
can soloist and guest conductor.
Soloist will be the glamorous STAR
Spangled Soprano" Lucy Monroe,
and guest conductor will be Charles
O'Connen, young American con-
ductor and director of artists and
classical recordings for RCA-Victor.
In dedicating tonight's concert to
defense" DR.. Kinder will make his
point principally by inference-ex-
cept for THE Star Spangled Ban
ner," the program will be comprised
entirely Of music created in the ma
tions now occupied by Nazi forces
From Czecho-S -Slovakia will come the
evenings major offering, Anton
Dvoraks New World" symphony.
Norway will be represented by a
work of singular aptness, the March
of Homage" from "Sigurd Jorsal-
far" by Edward Grieg. From the
Netherlands will come two defiant

Dutch songs (arranged by DR.. Kind
ler) which sprang. from the Spanish
oppression of the 18th century.
Ravel's slow and stately "Pavane
pour une Infante defunte" will be
Frances contribution to the pro-
gram; Austria's, the Strauss waltz,
AN Artists Life" and it will close
with 'Finlandia," Sibelius' tribute to
his native land.
The program which Mr.. O'Connell
has arranged for Wednesday night
contains a generous slice Of Ameri-
can music. The orchestra under
his direction will play a group OF
Americana that includes "Varia-
tions on Pop Goes the Weasel" by
Gailliet, Chester" by Billings,
"Fugato on a Well-Known Theme"
by = Mcbride, Harl McDonald's
"Cakewalk," and Morton Goulds
Yankee Doodle Goes to Town"
Miss Monroe, as soloist with the
National Symphony, will sing two
American songs, Victor Herberts
italian Street Song from Naughty
Marietta" and Carry Me Back to
Old Virginny." and two operatic
arias, "Connais-tu le Pays" from
Thomas "Mignon" and "Gavotte"
from Massenet's "Manon."

POPULAR Music

BY this time Victor's new policy
of issuing an album per week Of
popular tunes presented by popular
people has gotten we'll under way
For the first engagement of the
series a Prom Date" with Ozzie
Nelson's Orchestra was arranged,
four records encompassing those COL
lege songs which have been in the
standard repertory since the land
ing of the Pilgrim Fathers. There
is no particular wizardry in Oz's per-
formances here. In fact, the num-
bers have more than a little drag
about them played in an unruffied
fox-trot tempo, no matter how spir-
tied the tune may originally have
been intended. Thus, The Sweet
heart of Sigma Chi" waltz, Cor
nell Alma Mater" Washington Lee
Swing" Rambling Wreck From
YOU Know Where, Eyes of Texas"
Anchors A-Weigh," "On Wiscon-
sin" and "Notre Danes Victory
March,"
More auspicious are sets No. 2
ana 3-elght piano SOLOS by Joe
Reichman and an equal number of
rhumbas by Xavier Cugat. j. "Pag-
liacci" Reichman has assembled a
nice group of yesteryear's favorites
which he plays virtuoso style for
the most part, slipping into gentle
dance beat with the aid of rhythm
accompaniment toward the end of
each disc. Best of the batch: Tea
for Two" stormy Weather" Easy
to Love-" Cant We Be Friends, ="
"I'n Follow My Secret Heart" The
Cugat discs have been culled from
the files at Camden, consequently in
this collection some are recent and
others pretty old. However, DR.. KS

By Alice EverSman.

The name of Josef Suk does not
appear often on symphony programs,
yet to Judge by the charming Ser
enade for Strings, op. 6" which Vic
tor has released this month he is
a composer who would appeal to
the scholar and the music lover
alike. Being both pupil and SON
in-law of Dvorak has in all probable
ity hampered him in some ways but
he has enough originality to be rec
ognized aside from his important
Affiliations.
Suk was only IS years Of age when
he wrote the "Serenade" which is
recorded by the Czech Philharmonic
Orchestra conducted by Vaclav Tai
ich. The great charm Of this music
lies in its youthfulness and in its
poesy. 1t sings of lovely things
clear to the eyes OF youth in an au-
thoritive manner that would be
priced by many an older writer
could he but recapture that joyous,
poetic and confident view of life.
The orchestra plays it with sensi-
tive feeling and with deep sympathy
for the changing color and ideas of
the four movements.
In a way it is hardly fair to speak
of Roy Harris Quartet No. 3" which
Columbia released at the same time
in juxtaposition to the Suk work.
For Mr.. Harris quartet played by
the Roth String Quartet, is so clearly
manufactured music in comparison
with the delightful spontaneity of
Suk's. However, what Mr.. Harris
has undertaken to do in this work
is highly interesting and his ac-
complishment superb. His feeling
for the different modes is analogous

Tickets for
Season
Concert Series to
Be Presented at
Wardman Park

The Washington Concert Associa-
ton has announced the opening for
membership subscriptions in its sec
ond annual series of concerts for
the season 1941-42, which will again
be presented in the Wardman Park
Theater. The series given by this
association is under the direction
Of Nine. Luella Melius, internation-
ally known opera and concert artist.
Under the plan of the Washing
ton Concert Association, a subscriber
is allotted a season membership
ticket good for the entire series. Due
to the success of last season, the
additional allotment for this win
ter is expected to be limited, and
no single tickets to any one concert
will be available. The advantages of
this plan are such as to enable the
association to engage its artists well
in advance and materially to min
imize the cost to the subscriber.
One of the chief attractions for
the coming season will be the per-
sonal appearance Of Nine. Melius,
who will be best recalled to all WASH
ington music lovers from her OUT
standing performance Of "Lakme"
in the opera of that name, when
she appeared as the star guest artist
with the Washington Opera Com
pany a few years ago. Assisting
Nine. Melius will be NJ. Lansing Hat
field, baritone. winner of this years
Metropolitan Opera award.
Jacques Cartier, whose remark
able achievements in his original
ballet-narratives has kept him
booked solidly from New York to
California during the past season,
is another star attraction engaged
by the Washington Concert Associa.
ton for the coming season.
Fray and Braggiotti. the unusual
-pianists, have been re-engaged
by popular request for this season
as a result of their success in the
series last year, as has also Martin
Dowd, Washington pianist. Reser.
vations for subscriptions should be
made through the Washington Con-
cert Association, 1735 Connecticut
avenue.

by the school as an additional class
room or studio. 1t admirably closes
a vista of galleries running north
and south, concluded at the other
end with no less dignity by Garl

Richard N. Brooke's excellent and
touching picture of a Negro home
and family group, "A Pastoral visit,
full of nice feeling as well as very
good painting, is now hung on the
south wall of the atrium, next to
the Bierstadt, not quite so well
lighted as. perhaps. 1t deserves, put
fully worthy of placement. At the

"The Longshoreman's Moor" by j. g..

into life's present-day pattern;
weeks elaborate rendition OF De

savors of the Arabian Nights tales,
as we'll as a delightful painting OF
"Ney York Harbor," by Harry Chase.
To greater extent, the galleries
opening off of the atrium, retain
their former arrangement, with just
enough change to sharpen impress
sion. The exquisite portrait by Sar-
gent of the late Mrs. Henry White
still holds the place of honor in the
center gallery of the east tier, ana
tn either side hang the well-known
portrait of a Girl in Brown, by
J. ]. Shannon, and Mother and
Child" by George de Forest Brush,
both works of great distinction. But
Sargent's "Oyster Gatherers," a
youthful, joyous painting, has been
moved in here, as also has WlnsloW
Homer's picture, "A Light on the
Sea-"
Andre Siegfrid, some years ago,
in his book entitled, America Comes
of Age" said, America has no
national art and does not seem to
feel the need of it"-but no one
could carefully inspect the Corcoran
Gallery's collection of American
paintings today and concede the
truth of such statement. To be
sure. we borrowed from abroad, but
what we took we made our own.
In the 10Th century we were with
breathless speed building a Nation,
and some of the requisite energy,
honesty, courage and idealism found
its way into our art. Furthermore
the artists were mIotivated by q
desire to hand on to others discov-
cries of beauty which they, them
selves, had made; they were not
self conscious, continually feeling
their spiritual muscles, but were
striving to master their art.
We are fortunate in having in the
Corcoran Gallery so full and fine
representation of the works of oul
American artists who not only at
tanned distinction at home but wor
honors for our country abroad.
