By Florence s. Bergman.

The Negroes of the Eastern Shore
of Maryland, their simple rural life
and their reverent but markedly
personal conceptions of the scrip
lures, are featured in the solo ex-
hibition by Ruth Starr Rose, which
opened last Sunday at the Whyte
Gallery, to remain to the end of
this month. Lithography is her forte,
in which medium she shows more
than 80 works. There are also 10
paintings in oil and tempera, pastel
and water color.
Mrs. Roses work is strongly in
dividual. It is conservative in tech
nique, but her subject matter and
vivid imagination give it a sur
realistic character in many in
stances. It will not seem strange
to any one acquainted with the un-
Sophisticated country colored folks
literal interpretations of the Bible
and their own spirituals. In The
Old Ark's Amoverin'," for example,
one discovers Noah and his family
as Eastern Shore Negroes co1ly set
tied with their menagerie on the

National Symphony Plans
Depend on Outcome of Drive
Many World.Famous Musicians Have
Been Scheduled to Give Solo
Performances Here Next Year

The National Symphony Orchestra
is at approximately the halfway
mark In its l2th annual sustaining
fund drive for sll4.000.
However, plans made by Conductor
Hans Kinder and the orcheStra's s
management for the National SYM
phony's ls42-4s season can only be
realized II the full goal Is reached.
As stated last week, half Of the
soloists tentatively engaged for next
year are American artists. two Of
whom have never been heard in
Washington before. Balancing the
native contingent. however, is a
select list Of men and women who
happened to have been born In Eu-
rope. but whose artistry has gained
them recognition throughout the
world, Their names are Jascha
Heifetz. violinist: Jose Iturbi, pian-
list: Nathan Milstein. violinist; Egon
Petri, pianist; Percy Granger,
pianist and composer, and Raya
Garbousova, celhst.
With the exception of Heifetz, all
these artists appeared with the
National Symphony this season and
their re-engagement indicates the
reception accorded them by critic
and public. Heifetz, of course, occu-
pies a unique place in present-day
violin playing, but he has never
played with the National Symphony
before.
