Cuban Pianist
Makes Debut Here
Jorg e B a let in
Recital at
Masonic
BY CHARLES GENTRY

Tall, dark and dashing Jorge
Bolet, young Cuban pianist, hur-
tied through his debut Detroit re-
cital at a fast and furious pace in
the Scottish Rite Cathedral Of
Masonic Temple last night.
His first concert here. held I'M
der the auspices of the Alumna
of the Sacred Heart Academy,
offered a program of great variety,
even if his playing didn't.
He seemingly is obsesSed with
the idea of dynamics and while
his technique is brilliant, his at
tack, unfortunately, is most un-
compromising. He is IMMERSED in
the art of nuance and the various
implied qualities in the keyboard
seem to have utterly escaped him,

Best Offering

Having quite altered his sched-
uled numbers, he offered a group
of Chopin Etudes, the best of
which was the PosthumouS F.
minor. This he played with great
feeling and sympathetic interpre-
tation which we wish he had
employed in the other selections
as well.
After the intermission three

gram and told a nationwide au-
dience of the 19-year-old Guide
Right Movement of the Kappa
Alpha Psi Fraternity, being OBJ
served this week in nearly 100
cities and college centers in the

Young, vigorous and militant,
Mr.. Reynolds is national director of
the Guide Right Movement. In To-
peka he is active in civic affairs
and writes a column of opinion for
the Sunday Capital, one of Senator

of Washburn College, Topeka.
Answering the argument that
Negroes should get training only
for jobs they are sure of obtaining,
Reynolds reminded his hearers that
eve of today need to realize that
there was time in this country when
there were no Negro school teach
ers, no Negro doctors, no Negro
ministers, no Negro lawyers, but.
because others before US had the
courage to venture, the courage not
to fear prejudice as an obstacle
that would defeat them, these vo-
cations have become common ways
in which Negroes achieve success"
Pointing out men of color who
have achieved in architecture, mag
azine art, science, engineering and
other fields, in open competition, he
called on Negro youth today "to
employ the same kind of courage
and industrial application to forge
successful careers in still other
fields of endeavor yet largely unex-
plored by the Negro"
Finally, he called on white Amer
lea to "throw into the junk heap
the hangover idea from slavery
that a Negroes place in life should
be more limited in scope than that
of a white person"
