CHICAGO, Oct. IS - R -
The Western Conference, which
let down the bars of intercol-

its Spring meeting, may be fore
ed to 60 step farther at COM

other varsity teams in view of

That was the opinion Of Off

The orchestra, which begins its an
nual Today sustaining fund drive

I941-42, of which So were written
by North and South American COM
posers. If the works by naturaized
citizens are included and if these
may be considered native products,
% per cent of the orchestra's rep
ertoire-or 78 compositions-yas
made up of American works.
Broken down into its component
parts, IS were authored by North
American composers, % by South
American composers, and 20 by
naturalized composers. Included in
these three categories were the ma
jority of great names in American
music-among the natives of the
United States, Roy Harris, Aaron
COPELAND, George Chadwick, Morton
Gould, Samuel Barber, Walter Pts
ton, John Alden Carpenter. Leo
Sowerby, George Gershwin, Edward
Mcdowell, Bainbridge Crist, Henry
Hadley, Mary Howe, Henry Holden
Huss, and Richard Horner Bales;
among the Latin Americans includ-
ing arrangers we're Hekel Tavares,
Heitor Villa-Lobos, Silva, Simons,
Castro, Ginastera and Elsie Hous-
ton; and among the naturalized
Americans were Igor Stravinsky,
Jaromir Weinberger, Arnold Cor

Premieres were given Harris

is educational in purpose, but it Is
a little confusing to the layman
both from the technical and artistic
Standpoints.
The silk screen process of print
ing came into use about 1926, when
a first patent therefor was obtained;
but color printings by use of stem
ellis is a process which goes back
to the early days of multiple pro-
duction in this field. To be sure, the
stencil is vital part of silk screen
printing, but it is its combination
with the screen which sets it apart.
The "Pochoir" of the early 18th
century, of which excellent exam
Piles are shown, was merely a print
done in black and white and colored,
not by hand, as had been the GUS
tom, but by the use of carefully
cut stencil, which confined the color
applied to given area.
The silk screen simplifles this
process and somewhat widens its
scope Instead of using the stencil
to color a work in black and white,
complete in itself, the printmaker
creates and executes his own de-
sign from first to finish. He draws
it, he colors it, he prints it. But
his design must be drastically sim
pie and stylized; as the method rules
out subtleties of effect. For this
reason the silk screen process has
been found most adaptable to COM
mercial uSes-posters, book jackets,
end and binding papers. 1t is not
method through which fine prints"
have been produced, as through the
media of etching, engraving, lithog-
raphy, etc.
Painters whose art is largely alb
stract, such as PicaSso, Braque, Sew
erini and Gleizes, all of whom are
here represented, have found it a
congenial medium for their EXPIRE
sion, which is, however, too obscure
and personal to be generally under
stood. In the pictorial print, made
by use of the silk screen and stencil,
there is rarely found that precious
quality which is inherent to the Gre
ative productions of the greatest of
printmakers since printmaking be-
gan. This may be because it is a
short cut to achievement which bars
exercise of genius-or the delivery
of message may be too direct to in
vite, on the part of the observer, con-
templative cooperation. For dis
play printing, for the printing of
fabrics and other commercial uses
1t may have It's place, but the contri-
button that up to the present time
it has made to art is exceedingly
small. This it would seem is the in
escapable conclusion reached by a
survey of the current exhibition,
which to say the least has been care
fully selected and is wide in scope.
It continues another week.

From the vast waXworks of Cam
den has come proportionately vo-
luminous batch OF records in the
past two weeks. among which the
following stand out.
Album setS-Fats Waller is pre-
sented in a group of eight piano
solos, dating from 1929 to 1941. The
discs may be considered a window
display of the Waller rise to matur-
ity as a hot pianist who has not
many peers. The set makes nice
listening whether or no you are in
terested in Fatso's artistic devel-
opment. Titles: 'Rockin' Chair u
Georgia on Ny Mind" Tea for
Two" Il Amt Got Nobody" Basin
Street Blues" "Viper's Drag" etc.
On the other side of the tracks,
there's Emil Cote and the Victor
Mixed Chorus doing a bang-up job
of some of Sigmund Romberg'S best
loved, will You Remember, Stout
Hearted Men" Softly, As in a
Morning Sunrise" "Serenade" from
Student Prince" Lover Come Back
to Me" "One Alone" etc. We could
listen to Cote's chorus four hours on
end. Then. there's a roundup of
Western songs as interpreted by
Montana Slim, The Yodelin' Caow-
boy" which should be welcome to
persons who like vocalizing with the
sad twang of the Pecos section.
There are eight selections here, too.
Victor Singles-Rudy Vallee and
his band, labeled the Connecticut
Yankees once again, makes a come
