the instrument is rare. A series, of
this kind is undoubtedly the am
bition of many pianists but few have
taken, or been able to give, the time
and study needed for presenting the
programs in quick succession.
A full judgment OF Mr.. Schapiro's
ability as pianist must await the
completion OF the series, for there
will be certain composers and certain
styles that appeal to him particular
ly and which will reveal different
angles of his artistry It cannot be
said that he is an interpreter Of the
classicists par excellence. Fully pro-
f1cient In the, mechanics OF the in
strument, thoroughly musical and
serious in his outlook, he nonetheless
lacks certain requirements for the
type OF. music he played last night.
His tone is rather superficial in
quality and while that might not
seem great detriment in perform
ing music written for instruments of
less depth and resonance than the
modern piano, it does not lend itself
to the color variety and clarity that
have been the present-day embel-
lishments of the works of the old
masters.
In presenting the feur composers,
contemporaries although representing
three nationalities, Mr.. Schapiro did
not indicate the peculiarities of style
that made for their individualities.
In his playing the general trend of
the time prevailed but the decided
contrast that defines the work OF
these men with different training
and backgrounds could not be dis
tinguished.
His fluent technique was not clear
or fine enough for the lighter and
more graceful portions and his use
OF the pedal gave too much heavi-
ness to the whole. The result was a
sameness OF execution that made
for monotony
At the same time, his choice of
selections demonstrated the partic-

ular contribution each composer
made to broadening the possibilities
of the keyboard instruments as well
as the individuality OF style. The
French classicist, Rameau, who revo-
lutionized musical theory Of his time,
was represented by his "Gavotte
and Variations in A Minor" which
suited Mr.. Schapiro best, and his
performance Of it had grace and
charm. Two sonatas by Scarlatti,
that in r sharp minor and in A
major, offered contrast In mood, the
latter employing the crossing of the
hands and swiftly repeated notes
an innovation Of the composers.
The tremendous influence which
Bach exerted on both writing and
performance can be estimated from
the preludes and fugues of "Ihe

craftsman in writing OF this type, it

Its nice to work when you don't
have to-" says Ina Claire. The blond,
beautiful actress is playing the
mother of Dorothy Mcclure in
Claudia at Goth Century Fox. It's
her first film since "Ninotchka." The
reason she does not have to work
has something to do with her hus-
band, William Ross Wallace, jr., a
lawyer in San Francisco.
Il wish I'd married him 20 years
ago." says Miss Claire, who was
married twice before-the late John
Gilbert was one of her husbands.
Hes the man I've wanted all my
life. I've known him for 20 years.
I've been crying on his shoulder for
years"
The couple have been married
four years. I had a glimpse of Will
liam a few evenings ago at Roman
offs. And I can see what Ina means
when she says Hes the sort of man
every woman looks after when he
passes by" The boy has looks and,
according to his wife, he's brainy
as we'll.
It's hard to believe Miss Claire s
frank statement that she was star
on Broadway in The Quaker Girl'
80 years ago. She's had sense enough
to refrain from too much dieting
although perhaps the shedding of
five pounds or SO wouldn't do too
much harm. But she likes food
And she says plaintively, when
I starve I eat more!" She means
she eats little all day, then makes a
mad rush for the icebox when the
hunger becomes impossible in the
evenings She has to diet before
each picture.

should actually play love scenes on

The Prelude and Fugue in F.

where Bach had developed his writ
ing technique to perfection. Coupled
with this was his English Suite in
G Minor" one Of his finest examples
in the use Of the old dance forms.
The program concluded with
Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy and
Fugue," Busoni's arrangement of two
chorale preludes for organ, II Call

Ina tells me, "that a movie star ap-

The Christmas broadcast from sta

Dec. 10, was, contrary to previous
announcement, only on local hook
up. The program, eXpertly coordinat-
ed and directed as usual by Mrs
Ruth Banks Hoffman, featured the
choral group in medley of Christ
mas carols, and 1st/Sgt. Alexander
Gordon of SOU 1922 who gave brief
historical narrative before each Sc
lection.

the pleasure of working with Sgt
Gordon, and the occasion came
shortly. after we learned that he had

the program emanated, and thanked
the club director, Mr. Dent, for the

some time. z4
Christmas Eve found the choral
group spreading Christmas cheer
at several places all over the Post.
Starting at 2230, they made the
rounds of Officers Row, Bonnie
Blink, Apache Flats, and, strictly
impromptu and off the record, the
home of their favorite first SER

marched around singing well known
Christmas hymns, and perhaps dis
