West opened a heart. and my
partner found himself unable to
make his contract. He managed to
get eight tricks out of it, but there
just was no ninth trick: the op-
ponents could bring in three hearts,
club and spade without any real
trouble at all If North had played
the hand at four spades, however,
he'd have lost club and two spades,
making the contract.
Should South have raised to four
spades with only two small spades.
with balanced distribution and two
honorS in each of the unbid suits?
After all, wasn't it possible that
North had only strong five-card
spade suit and wanted merely to
offer a choice between spades and
no-trump? What would an expert
bid with the South hand?"
Perhaps we should blush to say
it, but we think that any expert
would bid three no-trump with the
South hand. Against any lead but
a heart, that contract would be
made; and even the heart lead
would not be fatal if the clubs broke
3-3. With the actual deal, and with
Vests brilliant defense, the expert
would suffer the same fate as our
correspondent.
If South had as many as three
small spades, or two headed by an
honor; or If one of the side suits
were both short and worthless, South
should prefer to raise to four spades
With the actual hand. we think that
three no-trump should produce bet
ter results opposite the average
jump rebid than raise to game in
spades.

Percy Granger, the distinguished
composer and pianist, will share the
spotlight at Constitution Hall this
afternoon with Arnold Cornelissen,

sition Lilac Bush In Bloom" This

under Hans Kindler's direction.
Mr.. Granger will play two COM
positions with the orchestra. Music
lovers will welcome the seldom heard
Delius Piano Concerto" as well as
Mr.. Grainger's own composition,
Danish Folk Music Suite"
Arnold Cornelissen, whose first
symphony was performed with the
orchestra last spring, asks to be
known as the composer without a
country. His ambition Is to write
music that will have a universal
appeal and cannot be identified as
Dutch, the country Of his birth, or
American, country OF his adoption.
One Of Washington's favorite pia-
nists, Mr.. Granger had earned
enough money through his recital
appearances by the time he was IL
to go with his mother from his ma
tive Australia to Germany for fur.
ther musical studies. BY 1907, when
still a very young man, he had been
called genius and had become the
favorite pianist Of Edward Grieg-
Granger has the reputation of be-
ing the only pianist to perform
Grieg's works to the Norwegian
composers complete satisfaction.
In 1915 he made his American
debut. Three years later he became
a United States citizen and has
been one Of this country's beloved
artists ever since. Country Gar
dens," Molly on the Shore" Irish
Tune from County Derry" and
shepherds Hey" are some OF his
perennial best sellers.
Because OF the demand by We'd
nesday subscribers to hear the Shos-
takovich Seventh Symphony" 50

great Dutch pianist, will be the So
loist this coming Wednesday rather
than at the December 16 concert.
at which time the symphony written
during the siege of Leningrad will
be performed again In Washington.
Mr. Petri will play the Brahms

Norman Kenf's Block
Prints on Tiew.

The exhibition of wood and limo
ieum block prints by Norman Kent
of Geneva, N. Y, which opened in
the galleries of the National Collec-
ton of Fine Arts early this month,
Is composed of 30 items dealing
chiefly with landscape and pic
turesque buildings. They are ira
ditional in form, but simplified and
broadly handled. The artist makes
good use of the white line. He has
sought his subjects in places as
distant from each other as Italy,
Canada and Northern New York.
People with a fondness for old
buildings will like such prints as
Covered Bridge, East Seneca, N.
"; several portraits of old mills
and barns "(Fringer's Mill" being
particularly pleasing; handsome
18th century residence, entitled 900
South Main Street." and Abandoned
Winery" There Is faithful like
ness of the Colosseum in Rome and
another italian subject, "Ponte No
mentano."
Mr.. Kent has also essayed indus
trial subjects, pure landscape, por-
traits and figures. An aspect Of his
work, open to criticism, is the ap-
rearance of oppressive solidity he
has given to some OF his clouds and
smoke. A successful rendering of
atmosphere is that in the print en-
titled Determined, depicting a
man fishing in the rain.
Mr.. Kent was born in Pittsburgh,
In 1908. He studied at the Me-
chanics' Institute, Rochester, N. Y.
and subsequently won a scholarship
to the Art Students League Of New
York City. He has exhibited ex-
tensively In the woodcut medium
and has received number of
awards, most recent being the
Boericke prize Of the Philadelphia
Print Club last year. He is assist
ant professor Of art at Hobart and
