ing PROBABILITY
Upon analysis. the surmise APP
pears 10 have a certain amount of
plausiblllty. Herr Hitler wouldn't
be any particular Jap menace in
total control of the European half
Of the Muscovite realm. but he'd
be Nippons pretty near neighbor
If he included Siberia. and it's con-
sidered entirely unlikely that the
Japs feel sure he'd be a good one
Though the Russians had a bad
government in the ears days, and
have had another at least equally
bad under Joe Stain. they never
have been internationally very ag-
gressive. True, they had a war
with the Japs a generation ago. but
the Japs began 1t and OF course
know 1t, even II they don't admit
they do. Furthermore, they won; so
the chances are that they're not
much afraid of a Soviet grab at
EN-. Contrariwise. when any grab
bling looks practicable in Eastern
Asia, Japan's the power to try to
take advantage Of it.
In short. Russia's country that
generally is aggressed against. as
by Napoleon by Japan on the oc-
casion above referred to. and now
by Herr Hitler.
In Directing to American arms
shipments to Vladiyostok. the
guess is made that Toxic isn't so
apprehensive that the arms will be
used by the Russians in an attack
on Nippon as that perhaps the
Soviets will find 'em convenient to
resist with. should Japan take a
HotTon 70 push INTO Siberian Soviet
territory.

Popular Music

Recent record releases have been
Hberally sprinkled with manifesto
tions of the vocal art in several of
its varied forms Five of these are
singled out below as a sort of cross
section.
Perhaps most noteworthy from a
standpoint of performance and
timeliness is Lynn Fontanne's reci-
tation of the Alice Duer Miller poem
THE White Cliffs of Dover" spaced
over three Pinch Victor Red Seal
discs. The poem itself, a moving
thing despite its rather obvious en-
phasis on the mutual-interest link
between England and America, has
long since found its reading public
in an America Fundamentally and
actively sympathetic to the British
cause. Miss Montanne's plant voice
and warm feeling which characterize
every line of her reading doubtless
will serve to boost white Cliff"
popularity even further. An original
score composed by Frank Black pro-
vides musical punctuation to the
work.
Victor contributes a delectable
dramatic morsel to the recorded
library in the form of Maupassant's
La Parure" C'The Jewel"), adapted
by Anne Dacharry in French from
the classic story of the same title.
This adaptation Is thorough-going
down to the last realistic sound ef-
feet, the last hopeless sigh Of the
wife who would sacrifice everything
for the glamour Of one bejeweled
evening.
Reginald Gardiner re-appears on
the Decca Personality" label in an
extended version of his uninhibited
monologue, Trains" Those who
haven't yet heard this madcap MINI
icry of the choo-choo in its more
human aspects should, after a week
of penance, invest in ticket for Mr..
GARDENERS excursion down the rails
of studied insanity. Although Mr..
G. some years ago successfully con-
centrated on one record what he
currently requires two discs for, he
can now 60 about more leisurely his
oral simulations of clacking wheels,
whizzing bridges and ominous tun-
mel noises. Aud furthermore, he has
space to bring in a bit of his price
less description of wallpaper, topic
which bears elaboration on some

The Songbird of the South and
the Songbird of the West are to be
heard in separate albums fresh on

is the principal in the first instance,
a set of four Columbia discs, while

Piano Concerto.
The distinguished Australian pia-
mist will be heard on February 8 in
the piano concerto of his master,
Edward Grieg. The Norwegian
composer, as a rule, had little pa
tience with pianists who played his
concerto. He once wrote in his
diary: These soloists! They should
be exterminated! One should in
duce them to kill each other off!
Egoists one and all. Themselves
first, with art a bad second!"
But with Granger it was a diff
ferent story. OF him, Grieg wrote,
Eyes, he is a genius, that is sure
enough. -" have never met any
one who understands me as he does.
And yet he halls from Australia.
With what justification, then, do the
critics assail my music as being
too Norwegian'?' And he chose
Granger to play the concerto at
the Leeds Musical Festival of 1907.

of their acquaintance were invited.
These informal gatherings in New
York City in the early days became
the focusing point of all musical ar
lists who eagerly sought to be in

Amplifiers Now Used.
The removal of chamber music
playing from the home to the con-
cert stage has made it possible for
greater numbers of people to hear it
and also has developed concert
groups of remarkable proficiency.
But with the gain in professionalism,
the name of chamber music has lost
its meaning or has taken on another
definition which applies to the small
number OF instruments used. While
the general public has benefited by
this change, the charm of such music
making in intimate surroundings
has been lost. Today string quartet
concert or that of any combination
Of instruments which plays the music
that comes under the heading Of
chamber music, is another item of
a public concert season. Halls sew
eral times the size of drawing rooms
are now used with ampliflers to
carry the necessarily limited volume
of sound, and people sit in formal
attention and listen to it not simply
as music to be enjoyed but with
critical attention to the finesse and
artistry of the performance.
With the splendid series of cham
ber music concerts at the Library Of
Congress-, Washington leads the
country in support of this type of
music. Tho coming festival will put
further emphasis upon it and serve
as definite encouragement for COM
posers to vary their writing by COM
posing for the instruments appro-
pirate for ensemble. With the oppor-
tunities thus being given the Ameri-
can composer, there should be a
marked impetus to musical creation
for which there are already artist
performers of great renoWn.

Bv Elena de Sayn.

Possibly one Of the most signifi-
cant tributes paid Tschaikowsky on
his 10lst birthday anniversary, COM
memorated by concerts here last
week, is Columbia's release of Fran
cesca da Rimini," considered by the
composers contemporaries the
greatest work of the time" and per-
formed by Sir Thomas Beecham at
the head of the London Philhar-
monic Orchestra.
There are not many recordings
and still less performances which
may be termed great" as this one
on review. Tschaikowsky was
known to have said that he created
Francesca da Rimini" with love"
inspired by Dore's drawing to Dantes
Divine Comedy" 1t is, however,
the labor of love on the part of Sir
Thomas, the value he finds in every
measure and his ability to re-create,
that enables us to sense elements of
human emotions or of nature back
of the printed page.
Dramatic passages and the
storm" part, of which Tschaikowsky
wrote in a letter. that "one could
compose something that would come
closer to Dore's drawing" are espe-
cially vivid In the conductors hands,
and we may look with anticipation
and pleasure to his coming to Wash
ington next season. As to the me-
chanical reproduction this album is
one of the best in Columbia's library.
That Jeanne Behrend belongs to
the small coterie of the few and
has the making Of an extraordinary
pianist cannot be doubted after
hearing her play some 16 pieces of
different character, each confirm
ing and enhancing the splendid i'm
preston made by the preceding one.
Victors release of Piano Music by
American Composers, with Miss
Behrend's active participation, is
enough to vouch for the success of
an attempt in behalf of American
music. Her fine perceptions and style
make each number a masterpiece.
