His tempera paintings depicting the

The featured offering ON the Vic
tors list for February Is the re-
cording by Rachmaninoff Of his
Concerto No. /" with the Philadel-
phia Orchestra. Quite independent
Of the drawing power of Rachman-
inoh as a soloist and composer, his
playing of the concerto would make
the album one of the very special
kind. It is superbly fiery, some
thing Rachmantnod not always at
tains In his piano performances, and
brilliantly executed in his finest
style. To those who hold him su-
preme as q soloist this recording
will give exceptional enjoyment and
will be a revelation to others who
are sometimes critical of his presen-
tationS.
Rachmaninon Is gradually gain
ing his way to the top as a COM
poser also and the release last
month of his Rhapsody on a Theme
Of Paganini," written in 1884, is
ample proof of 1t. Taking the
25th Paganini caprice as a basis,
he has written more than 20 varia-
tions in his most brilliant style.
The form is that of the concerto
and Is fresh and sparkling in its
ingenuity and inventive imagina-
ton. AS played by Benno Moisei-
witch and the London Philharmonic,
conducted by Basil Cameron, it is
an important and artistically salts
flying work for any collectors Ii
brary.
A third release of pianistic i'm
portance is the two volumes of
Chopin waltzes played by Alexander
Brailowsky. A year ago Kilenyi
recorded the same works for Colum-
bia, but the brilliant delivery OF
Brailowsky, the differentiations
which his musicianship brings and
his sympathetic understanding of
the character of this music, to-
gether with the individuality that
belongs to his art, seem to be more

Water Color Exhibition
At the Arts Club.
As a prelude to It's annual ex-
hibition, which will be held in the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art in April,
thte Washington Water Color Club
Is now showing. in the Arts Club
gallery and adjacent rooms, a COL
lection of SO paintings, paStelS,
drawings and prints by members.
1t is really charming little exhibi-
ton comprising, as 1t does, not
only clever work but pleasing sub
jects. Obviously these are not for
the most part museum exhibits, but
they are essentially sincere and
engaging, works which could not
fail to find welcome in the home
and add to it more than q CLINT
of beauty.
In the matter of subject there
is pleasing variety. Seward Hume
Rathbun, president of the Water
Color Club, exhibits a boy seated
on the rocks overlooking the sea-
Sam on Top; from Eleanor Parke
Gusts come two excellent pictures
in water color of typical scenes in
New England. In utterly different
strain are Benson B. Moore's
"Oyster Boats" and Red Mapped
Sapsucker." Anna G. Rowland S
winter in Waterford" and win
ter in Leesburg" are very indi-
vidualistic as to handling and ex-
cellent in effect.
Clara r. Saunders shows in this
exhibition two heads in pastel
rendered with light and knowing
touch. From Marguerite Mum has
come a broadly rendered water color
of Mount Monadnock," purple in
the evening light. as well as a most
excellent and sensitive portrait
drawing.
Lending color and a note Of fresh
ness to the exhibition as q whole
are excellent flower and still life
paintings by such well-known local
painters as Frances Hungerford
Combs, Iona Miller Keplinger,
Sarah j. Wright and Ester McCord
Chapman, not mentioning all.
1t is impossible, when honors are
so nearly even. to give due credit
to every one. But here are con-
temporary works which have some
thing to say and say 1t well. Go
and see them before the closing
date, March 6, arrives.
