Under its new debt limit of s12s,-

Two Artists Heard
In PM Recital
BY ELENA DE SAyN.

A recital intended to illustrate
the character Of the sonata, of early
program music and Of the concerto
was given yesterday afternoon be-
fore handful of people at Pierce
Hall by Harry Cykman, violinist,
and Leonid Hambro, pianist. This
was the second event of the PM.
series, sponsored by the National
Music League of New York.
Programs Of this type can be
wholly interesting only when artists
are given a voice in the matter of
selecting the compositions. accord
ing to their individual tastes and
technical proficiency. Since the
organization takes special pride In
announcing that programs are
mapped out for the performers as a
rule, one cannot help but think that
such . procedure is bound to de-
tract, occasionally. from the value
Of the program itself.
In the case of Mr.. Cykman, it
was not until the end Of the recital
that he could really demonstrate
the extent of his virtuosity. The
addition of Corelli-Kreisler's La
Folia," after the scheduled num-
bers, while throwing the program
somewhat out of balance, proved
worthy vehicle for his powers. He
played the wen-known variations
with authority. style and a fine
resonant tone, reducing, at the same
time, his two previous numbers
Corelli's SONATA for Violin with
Figured Bass" and Vivaldi's "Con-
certo in A Minor"-to a point Of
insignificance. Pleasantly remem-
bered here because of a previous
appearance. Mr.. Cykman's develop
ment has been watched with keen
interest. His progress, as demon
strated yesterday afternoon, gave
good promise for the future.
Mr.. Hambro afforded great deal
Of pleasure by his artistic delivery
Of Scarlatti's two sonatas in "E
Major and A Major" Rameaus
"Gavotte ct Variations" Couperin's
lie Tic-Toc-Choc" and Daquin's
lie Coucou." Cleverly adapting
harpsichord style to the piano, Mr.
Hambro drew a lovely tone from
the latter. His manipulation of the
pedal and contrasts of loud and
soft reminded one Of the early in
strument yet enhancing at all times
the enjoyment because Of the great
er possibilities Of the piano. Mr..
Hambro has peari-ike runs and is
master Of distributing the important
notes in al array Of lovely patterns.
The artists were cordially applauded
after each group.

a feverish (about 104.5 account of
how invasion would go If a bunch
of Nazis were directing the defense
as we'll as the attack on England.
The defense? Yes, that's precisely
what Mr.. Grant says! What is
more, he undertakes to pull it off
before your very eyes by the simple
expedient of having three Nazis,
one the exact duplicate in every
respect of the British general COM
manding, seize staff headquarters
and start issuing the wrong orders
over the telephone.
You may not believe the substitu-
ton Of generals-it all looks too
simple-but the staff of the de-
posed commander does. His mill
tary, naval and aviation aides are
fooled completely. So is his sec
retary and the head of the War
Office, all of them supposed to be
either long associates or old friends.
This is reducing military and
naval intelligence to a new low, but
even it is not the limit of Mr.. Grants
audacity, which is far greater than
that Of the Nazis. They not only
accept the bogus image and likeness
of their commander In his least
harmful early phases but even when
he starts carrying out the most
cockeyed plan of defense ever de-
