Tn interesting contrast with these

by Joseph Pennell during World
War I. Here we have Autographs
which are works Of art with the
power not only to charm, but 10
stir great emotion. They were pro-
duced with emotion-as well as
skill. Joseph Pennell had been per-
mitted to make drawings OF war
work in England, and at the invi-
tation of the Minister Of Munitions,
M. Albert Thomas, OF France had
gone there to do similar work at
the front, but had failed. 1t was
too terrible. He tried, but had to
give up.
When he returned to America he
wrote, IT have come back from the
laws of death-back from the mouth
of hell-to my own land, my own
people" Then ne was requested
by the Secretaries of War and the
Navy to 60 into our factories and
building plants, and through his

came into the possession of our
Library of Congress and part Of
our great national print collection
now numbering nearly half mil
lion prints. AS Mr.. Pennen said,
and the visitor can see at a glance,
these war work drawings were made
not only as permanent record,
but from an artists standpoint.
They are works of art-wen COM
posed. with light and shade properly
distributed-lines heavy where they
should be emphasized and light
where they should not-pictorial
and yet at the same time very real.
1t was the combination of bigness
and perfection of minutia, of almost
musical rhythm, with f1endiSh, dia-
bolical sound, that attracted the
artist, who was also great tech
nician, and which, in some mys-
terious way, he transferred through
the medium of his crayon to paper
in such wise that it could be COM
pretended by all. Examples of spe-
cial significance as triumphs of the
recorders art are "Old Gun Pit
New Gun Pit" and Bringing in
the Gun"-but others are no less
significant. Pondering this collec-
ton one is impressed by the evil
dent fact that through the vision
of the artist and his magic touch
great truths may be transmitted
and even ugliness transformed into
beauty.

Record Review
By Alice Epersman.

Among the several albums Of we'll
known works in the May release,
Victor has introduced a novelty in
the form Of Howard Hanson's "The
Lament Of Beowulf." 1t can be
classed as a novelty for two reasons
first, because American composers
are still not getting the recognition
from the recording companies as
well as orchestra they deserve, and
second, because Mr.. Hanson has
selected a portion Of work that
goes back to the fundamentals OF
Anglo-Saxon literature.
The Lament for Beowulf" Is a
choral work with a magnificent
orchestral accompaniment played on
the recording by the Eastman
Rochester Symphony Orchestra with
the composer as conductor and the
Eastman School Choir taking the
choral part. From the Beowulf sat
Mr.. Hanson chose the scene that de-
picts the warriors building the fun
eral pyre to the lament OF the
women. The picture Is set imme-
diately with the stark character OF
the orchestral introduction and so
splendidly is this established in tone
that it is to be regretted the COM
poser did not continue in this same
vein for the vocal part. 1t is dra-
matte and colorful, however, and
should become one of the great
choral works of this period.
Two recordings by Stokowski form
a part also of the last output of the
Victor and the Columbia companies.
For the former he directs the NBC
Symphony Orchestra in Tschaikow-
sky's symphony No. 4" and for the
latter the All-American Orchestra
in Bach's "Toccata and Fugue in D
Minor" Neither Victor nor Colum-
bia can be blamed for the rough,
noisy performance in each of these
albums. Stokowski seems to have
lost his cunning in gaining suave
effects from whatever group over
which he holds the baton. The tone
of both orchestras is not pleasing
and the recordings do not climax
any others of the same works.
Arthur Rubinstein's playing of six
IntermezZi and two RhapSodies by
Brahms makes for one of the best
albums of the month and proves how
much sensitive approach and alert
musicianship can add beauty to
these already lovely works. He
brings variety to each yet his af-
fectionate feeling for them pre-
dominates
More than a quarter of century
ago there was a charming, little
English singer by the name of
Maggie Teyte who won the hearts
of the American public. She has not
been heard from for many years
until now when Victor gives out a
small volume of French Art Songs
sung by Miss Teyte. The voice is
beautiful and the art smooth and
refined and the whole will form a
treat for those who seek the best
A book of encore numbers for
cello played by Gregor Piatigorsky,
released by Columbia, Is bound to
be another favorite album, for here
are all the appealing, melodic short
numbers recreated with the luscious
tone and deep feeling this artist is
noted for. Another small album
from Columbia lists the second re-
lease of Musical Comedy Favorites"
played by Andre Kostelanitz and his
orchestra. Yoa will like the fire
and rhythm of his Interpretation.
