Young Shostakovich. who re-
manned in Leningrad through the
siege Of the capital, is an AFRAID
warden and was active in the fire
brigade formed when the city was
bombed. However, this emergency
activity did not prevent his COM
posing a new symphony, his sew
enth, which had its first PERFORM
ance at Kuibishev, near Moscow,
in March. This new work, like his
Fifth Symphony" which will be
played, bears a hymn of victory
message in its finale.
This benefit concert marks the
real impetus of a Nation wide drive
for funds to give relief to Russia in
the throes of its resistance to Nazi
invasion. Mrs. Joseph E. Davies,
wife of the former Ambassador to
Russia from the United States,
whose book, Mission to Moscow" is
a best seller. is chairman of the
committee sponsoring this concert
and Frances Nash Watson, one of
Washington's most-gifted musicians
and music patrons, is vice chair
man and in charge of many of the
detailed arrangements.

Record Review
By Alice Eversman.

Two works important because Of
their first appearance In disc form
top Victor's list this month. They
are Loefner's "A Pagan Poem" and
Dvorak's Symphony No. / in D
Major" Neither OF these works is
overly familiar to the concert pub
lie, and perhaps after these record
ings are heard more conductors will
be inspired to give them perform
ances.
Loeffler's Poem" is a musical
version of the eighth Eclogue of
Vergil and was first performed by
the Boston Symphony in 1907. This
was in its orchestral arrangement,
for its first form was a chamber
music version. The two important
instruments retained for solo work
in the symphonic writing are the
piano and English horn, the former
played by Irene Gedney and the
latter by Richard Swingly. The
orchestra is the Eastman-Rochester,
directed by Howard Hanson.
The composers name is best
known through "A Pagan Poem,"
which IS most representative of his
poetic style and suave manner Of
writing. The work, which keeps al
most entirely to one mood, has its
dramatic moments emphasized with
restrain, the lyric quality being
faithfully carried out throughout.
There has been an effort within
the last months to revive forgotten
symphonies Of famed composers by
the recording companies. 1t has
come as q surprise to many that the
best known and most popular SYM
phonies are not the only worthwhile
works in this form that these men
have written. So it is with Dvorak
who Is almost solely identified with
his New World Symphony" which
was his fifth. The First" in reality
followed the New World" but in
the final listing Of his works was
not given the number six. It has
all the dreamy, profound sentiment
and the gay abandon that charac-
terizes his beloved symphony and
the same fine outlines in its struc-
ture. It Is given highly under
standing reading by the Czech
Philharmonic conducted by Vaclav
Talich who is already known to
American listeners through other
recordings.
Also among the novelties which
Victor has chosen this year is
Gliere's symphony No. 3 in B
Minor" known as lila Mourometz."
Gliere has taken for his subject the
classic epic Of Russian literature
which tells of the adventures and
conversion Of the legendary hero. A
tale beloved by Russian for its color
full character, the musical version
Is no less colorful and follows the
story faithfully to q dramatic
denouement.
Very timely and interesting is the
album Of important scenes from
Shakespeare's Macbeth" by Maurice
Evans and Judith Anderson with
assisting cast and incidental music.
This Is Victor's first "Recordrama"
and viii be welcomed by those who
cannot attend the performance this
week at the National by the same
artists.

Dramatic Prints by
Revn0Id II. Weidener.

The March exhibition Of prints
set forth in the National Museum,
Tenth street and Constitution ave-
nue.. under the auspices of the Mu-
seum's Division Of Graphic Arts, is
particularly interesting. It consists
OF dry points. aquatints and soft
grounds by Reynold H. Weidener
of Grand Rapids. Mich. who is more
Of stranger to us here than he
should be. or it is hoped ever will be
again.
From the foreword to the cata-
logue of his current exhibition, writ
ten by Mabel Allen of Grand Rapids,
we learn that it was about four years
ago he began etching. He was then
in Kansas City working under a
scholarship in the art institute of
that city, won about the time his
nigh school course at home was COM
pleted. In 1910 he returned to
Grand Rapids and set up his own
studio since when he has had work
accepted by the professional juries
Of eight outstanding exhibitions and
Two OF MS pr1ntS-"Even1ng Storm"
and Market Place" both Of which
are included in this exhibition
purchased from the Pennell fund
for the permanent collection of the
Library of Congress
What is most striking about Mr..
Weidener's work Is his sense of the
dramatic and the manner in which
he gives it expression. After seeing
some of his prints a couple of years
ago, Mrs. Bertha E. Jaques of the
Chicago Society of Etchers wrote
him There is quality and sem
sitiveness in your work that is like
music and strangely enough it is
always in a minor key"
This does not mean, however, that
Mr.. Weidener dramatizes his sub
jects deliberately; they never appear
forced, but they possess the es-

To an extent the water colors

broken, and the question still Is
where does it lead?
In pondering this question it may
be well to keep in mind the con-
fession Of faith" made by our lead
ing American art critic, Royal Cor
tissoz, when last fall the completion
of his so years of professional
service was publically recognized. 1t
is as follows: Il believe that q
work of art is the outcome OF
spiritual process, involving the
artists mind and heart and imag-
ination, all acting in the language
of proficient craftsmanship and en-
riched by the crowning element of
style. I believe that art, if 1 may
adapt the memorable saying of
Matthew Arnold, keeps ever calling
us nearer to the true goal of all of
US, or the ideal, to perfection-to
beauty. in word, which is only
truth seen from another side"
A Versatile
S,cedish Artist.
A Swedish artist, Einar Norman.
has lately completed portraits of
Henrik de Kaufman, Danish
Minister. and his wife, which are
to be given placement with other
family portraits in the state dining
room Of the Danish Legation. They
are little less than half lengths.
The Minister is portrayed wearing
his handsome red military coat and
his wife soft gown of lavender
colored material with white trim
mings. The treatment is very SIM
pie and direct and the effect deco
rative as well as interpretative.
Mr.. herman has made a name for
himself in Sweden, England and
European art centers not only as
portrait painter, but caricaturist and
illustrator. Some Of his caricatures
of well-known persons, such for ex-
ample as Bernard Shaw, are enor-
mously clever and once seen not
easily forgotten. His illustrative
work has chiefly been in connection
with fairy tales Of folklore of his
native country and is not only light
in touch but Illuminating and salts
flying. Until the outbreak of war,
Mr.. herman maintained homes in
Sweden and England. His wife, by
the way. is the daughter Of the Swed-
ish sculptor, Christian Erickson.
Some years ago Mr.. herman spent
considerable time in Hollywood. He
has now studio in New York. His
son who is with him is something
of an artist himself with talent
inherited from both sides Of his
family.

Chairman of the War Production
Board, Donald M. Nelson, said re-
Gently that the time has come when
the government and the military
authorities should say Just how
large an army this country is going
to try to raise. There are rigid linn
1tat1ons on how many men the
United States can transport to f r.
elgn fields and keep supplied with
food and munitions. If the army
keeps on calling men the time will
come when more men will be in
the armed forces than can be trans
ported and fed. The time will also
come when those left at home will
be inadequate to provide the NUM-
lions and produce the food necessary
to support the army and the civilian
population. Nelson wants this point
determined so that the home supply
base will know what manpower it
has to work with.

IF there were no other reason why
one should buy War Bonds other
than the fact that the government
needs the money for defense of the
nation, every man and woman with
the means to do so should buy them.
There is, however, another and a
more selfish reason why every one
should buy War Bonds. After the
war is overland it is going to be
over one of these days-there is
coming the thing known as the post
war period. It may he much more
difficult to earn money than it is
now. If it should be, War Bonds
are going to prove a mighty fine
insurance policy against that time.
The fellow who has failed to buy
bonds will be at a distinct disadvan-
tage in this period of readjustment.

Before the war many of us naG

those who seek a bigger challenge

reshaping of the world of tomorrow.
The problem of the future both
at home and in world affairs is go

of concept. There is going to be
more work than ever to do. The ma

which the thought and energy of

Kaiser when he gets on the subject

Kaiser's that has made America

the authority we would give Kaiser
the right of way to build a fleet of
air transports. A man who can
beat the worlds all-time record and
launch a ship in 10 days wouldn't
go far wrong in his estimate of what
he would do in the transport field.
