Of Art, New York, there opened In
January to continue until the end
of March, an exhibition Of paint
ings, drawings and prints by Rem
brandt. Comprised in the showing
are Is canvases by the great master,
10 of his drawings and no less than
80 prints, all of which were drawn
from the museums own collection,
but set forth heretofore in different
galleries rather than as now in a
group. Thus, it is said, they appear
to much greater advantage and can
be studied much more SATISFACTORY
ly. This exhibition was ceremo-
niously opened by the Royal Meth
erlands Minister, H. E. Alexander
Loudon, distinguished authorities
have lectured on various phases of
the collection, and a whole issue of
the Museum Bulletin was devoted,
in January, to the showing. A very
large attendance Is recorded.

ton was made known. These in
clude some very fine examples OF
American painting, and works by
such earlier great masters as Ell
Greco, Rubens, Tintoretta, Boucher,
Drouais and Chardin, as well as
French paintings of the 10th CEN
tury, so numerous that they will fill
three galleries in addition to the two
already occupied by works Of artists
of this age and school. Obviously
these loans are invaluable, espe-
cially at this time.

In Recital
On Tuesday
National Symphony
= Has Fine Program
For Wednesday

The outstanding piano recital Of
the season in Washington is sched-
uled for Constitution Hall on Tues
day evening at $3.50 O'Clock when
Vladimir Horowitz, the brilliant and
sensational young Russian virtuoso,
makes his annual recital appear
ance In the Capital under the man
agement of Dorothy Hodgkin Dor
sey.
Interest principally focuses on
Horowitz's announced performance,
for the first time in Washington, of
Serge Prokofiefi's "A Major Soma
ia, Opus 82."
This sonata, published in Russia
just last year, was performed for
the first time In New York at Car
negie Hall last month.
Horowitz will open his program
with four Of the five hundred and
forty y-odd "sonatas" OF Domenico
Scarlatti, who, in these astonish-
ing little pieces, left the world
relatively unexplored treasure trove
Of the most charming and original
keyboard music. 1t should be said,
however, that the word Sonata" as
applied to these Scarlatti pieces,
does not designate the form per
fected by Haydn with which au-
diences are familiar.
Horowitz follows the Scarlatti
pieces with Schubert and Chopin,
the Schubert "A Major Sonata, Opus
120." and Chopin's "F Minor and c
Sharp Minor Mazurkas, Opus 63."
and the "B Minor Scherzo No. /,
Opus 90" Immediately after the
intermission the pianist will play
the Prokofief1 sonata, previously de-
scribed, and two Liszt compost
tions, one Of which has been re-
vised by HorowitZ. The first is the
"Sonetto del Patrarca, No. 1O4";; the
second, Horowitz's own revision of
LISTS transcription of Saint-Saens'
"Danse Macabre," in which the pi-
anist Is said to have preserved all
that Is essential in the expression
OF the two masetrs, but to have
eliminated or condensed certain
repetitious passages with modern
pianistic effect in mind.
Symphony to Play
Bales Work
On its regular schedule the Ma
tional Symphony will give a concert
under the direction Of Hans Kinder
this Wednesday that stresses heavily
the contemporary. The only voice
from the past will be Beethoven's
"Egmont" overture, which opens the
program. From then on, the con-
cert will be entirely the work of
native composers. OF particular
interest locally is the Music for
Strings" by Richard Horner Bales,
Alexandria, Va. composer-pianist-
conductor, which, in its revised
form for full symphony orchestra,
will be given its first performance
on this concert.
Completing the program will be
Adventures in Perambulator." by
John Alden Carpenter, and Sym
phony, No. 5,' by Dmitri Shostako-
vich. The Bales work was first
played on November last year in
|. Philadelphia by the American Lit
tie Symphony with the composer
conducting Since then Mr.. Bales
has revised it, in many cases writ
ing completely new parts.

Army Show Chorus 'LoveIies'
Guido the Real Article
Director Says Girl Dancers Couldn't
Make the Grade in Routines Boys Do

'The Army doesn't allow tempera-
ment," explained Corpl. Robert Sid
ney. 'If you tell soldier to 60 out
dressed as a girl and do number in
big, hoppy hat, there's no argu-
ment. He goes"
That is what the Broadway
trained director of all the dances in
This Is the Army had to say yes
terday about the girls that make
up his chorus line.
The lack of discussion about
parts the players take, he said, has
contributed greatly to the success Of
the show
The soldiers are much easier to
work with, for instance, than the
chorus girls of Banjo Eyes for
which Corpl Sidney devised the
dances. Trained for years, all of
them as professional stage dancers,
the boys also take easily to compli-
Gated routines.
Don't Need Leg Exercises.
The only special treatment the
dancers get from the Army are
the separate exercises they are al
lowed to do when the cast of 300
gets out for mass calisthenics and
drill Numbering slightly more than
a platoon, they are led by Corpl
Sidney in exercises to strengthen
their arms.
Their legs are strong enough al
ready" he said.
The shift to special exercises was
made, he said, when the dancers
discovered the regular calisthenics
tightened their leg muscles and
caused charley horses.
Inducted IN the Army last March
Corpl. Sidney has spent most of his
time since then doing the same
thing he did before he donned
khaki. Almost his last civilian ac-
tivity was to direct the dances of a
huge Navy Relief show at Madison
Square Garden. Among his chorus
girls were Gertrude Lawrence, Ia
lullah Bankhead, Sophie Tucker
Peggy Wood, Lenore Corbett, Eve
Arden, Danny Kaye, Boris Karloff
Vincent Price, Ed Wynn and Eddie
Cantor.
Do Pretty Well as Girls"
Last week, just before This Is
the Army" left New York, Corpl
Sidney was loaned to another huge
show at Madison Square Garden
this time for Army Relief. Ray
Bolger was one of the chorus this
time, along with Bobby Clark and
Danny Kaye again.
To his own astonishment, Corpl
Sidney noticed when he had finished
plotting the tap dances and ballet
numbers for This Is the Army,
that in only one of them could girls
be easily substituted for men
dancers.
The technique of the dances is
difficult" he said. 1T takes strength
to do them"
This same power, claims one OF
the chorus "lovelies," Pvt. Gene
Berg, is what gives the soldier cho-
rus line the grace equal or perhaps
superior to the average line of CIR
dancers.
People are so surprised to see
how well we do as girls" he said
that they think we are even better
than we are"
