Ecuadorian Art at the
Pan.A merican Union

In honor Of the President of ECU
ador, Doctor Carlos A, Arroyo del
Rio, the Ambassador of Ecuador
Senor Captain Colon Eloy Alfaro
gave a reception last Wednesday. AS
feature for this event. the Pan
American Union arranged special
exhibition of Ecuadorian handl-
crafts, which will remain until next
Sunday.
The display is comprehensive, cal
culated to give all idea of the many
facets of Ecuadorian art, which is
the fruit of diverse influences: Goth
ic and Arabic traditions, brought
over by the Spanish Conquistadores
the fully developed indigenous ex-
preston of the Incas; Flemish ele-
ments from the early Franciscans,
italian from the Jesuits, and even a
trace of the Far East introduced
through Mexican Franciscans' trade
with Japanese emperor. Spanish
coloniSts brought with them the
Baroque style, and Ecuadorian In
dians, with a natural facility for
plastic arts, contributed largely to-
ward the fusion of these various
elements.
Although the current exhibition
occupies only six cases, it ranges
from the 18th century to the present.
There are religious paintings and
sculpture Of the School of Quito
which with those Of Cuzco (Peru)
and Mexico. comprises the first in
point of time and importance, in

Don Cossack Chorus
Here on December 9

| Making its first Washington ap-
pearance In several years the Gen
| Platoff Don CoSsack Chorus will
sing at Constitution Hall on the
evening of December 9 in the sec
ond concert of the current Cappel
concert series
Their exciting repertoire includes
not only their native melodies of
folk ballads and heroic Cossack war
songs, grooming lullabies to the
children and the mystic hymns of
the Russian Orthodox Church, but
also Negro spirituals, operate selec-
tions, English sonnets and Spanish
ditties.
Although the Gen. Platoff Don
Cossack Chorus was not organized
as a chapel choir, the composition
of its personnel is distinctly SO. Most
of the singers, emigres from Russia
living in Prague after the first
World War, received their early
training in the cathedrals Of Pre-
Soviet Russia, and their approach
to all their church music has re-

In addition to their brilliant sing
ing the Platof Chorus will give a
display of Cossack dancing.
An outstanding feature of this
phase of the program is the knife
dancer who performs the spirited
movements of the Caucasian Co.'S
sacks, carrying II knives in his
mouth and hands, on his chin, his
lips, and his shoulders. This feat is
an art few dancers can learn. 1t Is
family accomplishment, handed
down from father to son in Cauca-
sia. from one generation to another.
Currently, the Cossacks are on
their fourth transcontinental tour

talented Nicholas KostrukofY Is

tlmore, as well as regular subscrip-

orchestra as far North as Portland

from Ithaca, Buffalo and Syracuse
N. Y, to Hartford and New Haven
Conn, and Worcester, Mass.
Because most major symphonies
have already Cancelled their tours for
this season, great interest is CEN
tered upon the success with which
Manager Hayes brings this tour to a
conclusion. The tour is CLOSELY
booked and each short trip will be
made on a regularly scheduled train
during the day, thereby eliminating
any need for Pullman equipment or
special train operations. Mr.. Hayes
reports that special streetcars
rather than buses were used in
Richmond recently to transport the
men to and from the station. This
system will also be used on tours. In
Buffalo, Concord, N. H., and Port

draper in whose shop the boy worked
and grew to love the rich colors and
luxurious textures of the fabrics he
handled. In his own village, Liosno,
and In the ghetto of the neighboring
town OF Vitebsk, Chagall absorbed
folklore and fantasy, a mixture of
Slavic and Jewish imagery which
has had a profound influence on his
painting. Subsequently, he studied
in st. Petersburg under the famous
designer Leon Bakst, and found the
colorful art of the theater thorough
ly congenial, for it was born of the
native folklore which he knew so
well.
At 20, Chagall went to Paris and
became associated with the Fauves
and Cubists, with consequent effect
upon his own work. Upon the out
break Of war in 1914, he returned to
Russia, to start an art school in
Vitebsk but in few years the up
heavals of the Russian revolution
sent him to Germany. where he was
soon identified with the Expression

luton he spent brief interlude in
Russia. painting theater murals and
designing stage settings. He re-
turned to Paris in 1922, where he
lived for nearly two decades, until
the present war drove him to our
shores. He now lives in New York
City.
