 McReynolds teamed with Van Devanter, Sutherland and Butler in a group so nearly identical in their constitutional views that they joined in dissenting and majority opinions long before the New Deal came into being. McReynolds was the last Of that foursome to remain on the bench.
 In recent years, McReynolds has become a puzzling public person. ality-a man with :ss.cl nature seo the one hand, he appeared to the public to be stubborn in his views and soured because they no longer prevailed.

Review of Recordings
BY AHce EverSman.

A year ago Charles O'Connell,
musical director of r. C. A Victor,
decided to gather together the most
melodic portions of famous sympho-
MES and issue them in a volume
called The Heart of the Symphony"
The result was so successful, proving
that the majority of people like pure
melody best, that he has done the
same thing with the piano concertos.
In collaboration with Jesus Maria
Sanroma, he has compiled excerpts
from the most beloved concertos,
himself directing the Victory SYM
phony Orchestra for the accompani-
ment.
The music is condensed. but the
objective is reached. Entitled The
Heart Of the Piano Concerto" the
two artists play bits of eight piano
concertos. In this album is re-
corded the second and third move
ment combined of Pach's Concerto
No. in D Minor" the "Romanza"
from Mozarts Concerto No. 20, D
Minor, K 466":: the "Intermezzo'
from the Schumann A minor con-
certo, the first movements Of Bee
thoven's third. the Grieg, Tschai-
kowsky's B Flat Minor" concertos.
the third movement of the second
Rachmaninoff and Gershwins S
Rhapsody in Blue"
Mr.. Sanroma's brilliant technique
and fiery delivery shine in these re-
cordings. and are abetted by Mr..
O'Connell's artistry assistance. Here
are united the beautiful passages
that are the high points of these
favorite works.

The National Museums eXhibi-
ton is primarily concerned with
older uses of the process. For a
quarter-century it has been en-
ployed by commercial artists in
posters and other advertising, tex
tiles. etc. and such is the variety
in the prints shown that visitors

another record manufacturer to re-
sist. keynote Recordings issues the
second collection of Red Army

lusty talent for singing the color

virility and a good measure of mu-
steamship. AS is customary. A V.
AleXandrov directs the group, and
the songs themselves have abundant
melodic appeal. Some are army
songs and others are strictly "of the
people: ''Tachanka" (about the

which comprise the marimba band,

Latin American music at its most
typical and enjoyable. The Hurtados

the present selection of character
