Popular Music
By J. ". Sfepb

Record manufacturers, sensing
something in the air, have been cul-
tivating a special dislike for the little
brown men with bayonets across the
Pacific. This antipathy is manifest
ed, of course through musical means,
occasionally original and tuneful
while at other times tired derivatives
of marching songs of previous wars.
However, the feeling is there. And
here are some of the titles now avail
able on discs:
They Started Somethin' (And
We're Gonna End IT." and We're
All Americans (All True Blue" as
sung by Kate Smith. I'VE Did 1t
Before (And Well Do 1t Again. "
coupled with Remember Pearl Har-
Dor" by Eddie Howard; and, OF
course, Sammy Hayes pressing of
the latter tune. Carl Hoff furthers
the contention that You're Sap.
Mr.. Jap" and recalls I'VE Did 1t
Before" as well. Then there's that
other title of the lyric rhyme. Good
bye, Mama, I'm Of to Yokohama"
which is played by frankie Masters,
with THE Sun Will Soon Be Set
ting (On the Land of the Rising
SUM" on the reverse. Orrin Tucker
also submits Goodbye Mama"
paired with you're a Sap, Mr.. jap"
Patriotism of a purely domestic ma
ture is encouraged by Kate Smith
whose "Star-Spangled Banner
America, I Love You" are stirring;
Charlie Spivak's Dear Mom," and
even the Texas Rangers who con-
tribute The Air Corps Of Uncle
Sam" and I'm Changing my Pent
House for Pup Tent" But most fit
ting of all, that old ditty remains
I'll Be Glad When You're Dead,
You Rascal, You"
For dancing pleasure, the follow
ing may be suggested: Tommy Dor
sey's winter Weather" and "How
About YOU: Sammy Hayes "On
the Street of Regret" with Tommy
Ryan singing and Sam1 narrating;
Wayne Kings fox trot "The Echo
Says No" and waltz Russian Rose"
Those are Victor records, in case you
are curious; the following emanate
from Columbia and Okeh sources:
Benny Goodman's "Blues in the
Night"-"Where or When" and
Clarinet a Ia King" on another
disc; Xavier Cugat's conga salute
to the President, viva ROOSEVELT"
and his coupling Of II Said Mo-
"Ev'rything I Love-; Harry James
whimsy, ~. P. Dooley III" In a
four-record album, the unsurpass-
able salon orchestra Of Marek
Weber performs with customary
polish separate medleys Of the
waltzes Of Johann Strauss, Josef
Strauss, Waldteufel, Ziehrer and
Lehar, as well as two miscellaneous
waltz medleys.

Society of Miniature Painters
The annual exhibition of the So
ciety of Miniature Painters, Sculp-
tors and Gravers also opens today
at the Corcoran Gallery simultane-
ously with the Society of Washing
ton Artists annual, and will remain
on view also to the end of the
month. This deservedly popular
show comprises miniature paintings
on ivory, canvas and paper: draw
1ngs and prints, illuminations, book
bindings and small sculptures. This
exhibition was not installed in time
for review today, but will be dealt
with later at length.
Naval Defense Exhibition
Still another exhibition opened at
the Corcoran Gallery yesterday,
drawings and water colors of naval
defense activities by Vernon Howe
Bailey an extremely pertinent
show at this time. The works, made
under the authorization of the Navy
Department, comprise IS items, de-
picting portraits of ships, construc-
ton and dry dock activities, navy
yards, naval air stations and re-
lated subjects. 1t will remain until
February 10.
Spanish Painter at Whyte
The Whyte Gallery is likewise
opening a new exhibition today of
work by the noted Spanish painter,
Joan Junyer, comprising 20 paint
ings of Congas, his most recent
work. They are the fruit of nearly
two years experience in the Antil-
leian tropics, where he studied the
character and popular dances of
the people.
Evening star., 1942-02-01

Here. as in the painting section,
there is a gamut from conservative
to modern work. The most ambi-
tious piece is Hugh Collins carved
wood mural plaque, THE Maryland
ers," hanging with the paintings. 1t
is the type of work that is being
done for public buildings under the
Government art programs. The
many figures, carved in low relief,
are simplified and stylized, some
what primitive in character, and are
engaged in activities associated with
Maryland - establishment of the
Catholic religion, fishing and to-
bacco shipping.
Several of the sculptors are
represented with two works each.
Russell A. Houston shows smoothly
finished torso in maple. and a
plaster group of man with a boy.
Piggy Back" vigorously modelled
but left somewhat rough. The grain
and varied color in the wood are
the chief attractions of Isabel Blai's
primitive, elongated head called
"Lethargy." Edward Revenir Bush's
two works include the most abstract
items in the sculpture section, a
torso reminiscent of Archipenko' S
work with its concave distortions,
and head of mottled brown Ten
nessee marble.
The other works on view are ira
ditional in handling, and their
appeal is inherent in the subjects
rather than in the materials. Kath-
leen Wheeler's bronze bust of a
youth, Clarke Daniels plaster por-
trait bust of a pretty girl. another
child's head in pink cast stone,
Beverly" by Belle Bellerose, and
the strong, characterful bust of a
Negro educator, Prof Saunders, by
Marshall Lakey, would all, If brought
to life by some Pygmalion's entreat-
les, take their places in the popula-
ton without need for alteration
(other than completion.
Fausta Mengarini's statuette of a
Madonna and Child entitled Peace
on Earth" is the loveliest conception
in the sculpture section. The artist
has used elongation discreetly, in
the medieval manner. Another cap
tivating small piece Is the little
bronze Child With a Frog" by
Eleanor Cox, which in a larger
edition, would be an excellent gar
den decoration. Finally, there is
one animal subject, Eleanor Multi
ken's little bull terrier lying with
head on paws.
Regarding this 51st annual ex-
hibition Of the Society of Washing
ton Artists as whole, one feels
there is much to admire, and some
thing to appeal to every taste.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Earl
Browder, general secretary of the
Communist Party, told a second
front rally in Union Square last
night that "the forces calling for
delay are the forces that work for
defeat"
ITO fight for victory means to
fight for the opening of the second
front now," he shouted to crowd
estimated by police at $4,000 persons.
Declaring that fighting war is
not something which can be post
poned like a visit to the theater,"
Mr.. Browder added that the great
majority of American military men"
want to open second front now.
ut is not the military men we
have to fight on this issue. it is the
newspapers and the defeatists who
control the newspapers, and the
minority of sabotaging industrialists
behind them who are hampering the
war production program" he added.

Now that he's SO busy with
his double-talk. Hollywood has
forgotten some o. his other ia
lents-he played all sorts of roles
in stock companies, was a versa
tile actor in musical comedy and
vaudeville, is one of the top
Sters-of-ceremony in show
business, and was serious VOC
alist on the radio before he broke
into movies. This experience has
been packed into 80 years; he
began at 8.
His double-talk career began
while he was singing on pro-
gram from Sa. Francisco. One
afternoon he was overheard in
bitter argument with an eccent-
ric pianO-tuner at the radio sta
ton. Cliff insisted all the pianos
would have to be repitched so
their finna-reffa would vibrate
with the-sortatrit. The tuner was
screaming that he knew all
about pianos and would not en-

Navarro was asked to try a
little of his jumble-jargon on the
air, and he did it reluctantly be-
cause he fearei listeners would
decide he simply wasn't enunci-
ating distinctly. 1t went off fine,
though, and the short comic soon
found himself with Jack Benny.
The movies have been using
him pretty steadily ever since
sometimes effectively, as in
You'll Never Get Rich" when
he drilled soldiers with COM
mands in doubie-talk. Cliff gets
lots of letters from fans who
seem to think r has invented a
new language or a kind of pig
Latin, and they want instruction
in how to speak it. He answers
them but has hard time ex-
planning that it's just matter of
tossing in a nonsense word while
maintaining a deadpan air of ut
ter sincerity.

three no trump and went down
by losing four clubs and a dia-
mond.
Mrs. Wagar, sitting South,
opened the bidding with one
club, her weakest suit, but the
only one in which she held four
cards, with the idea Of dis
couraging q club lead against a
no trump contract. The heart
response by her partner, how
ever, made that suit look better
than no trump, SO she made a
jump response.
The contract of four hearts
was made easily. The opening
spade lead was taken by the ace
in dummy. Then three rounds
of hearts were taken, leaving
North in the lead.
North led the 10 of diamonds
and East and dummy played low,
forcing Vests king. West now
got busy on the clubs and North
had to ruff the third round OF
the suit with the last trump. But
then the ace and queen dropped
all the outstanding diamonds,
and North had the queen of
spades for entry to cash the
thirteenth diamond.
