USO Activities

DR.. Raymond Kendall, music CO.
ordinator of the USO programs,
announced in q recent report the
need of more men who can lead the
soldiers in singing the new songs
as well as the old. In survey
made over four-month period by
his five USO regional advisers, the
percentage of enlisted men who can
sing and teach the songs to their
barracks mates is small More self
starters" among the men OF the
armed forces would result in more
singing of an informal nature In
the camps.
In an effort to remedy the situa-
ton the USO sent two trained men,
John r. Jones and Arthur Billings
Hunt, into the field year ago. In
the USO clubs and, by invitation,
In the Army camps and naval sta
tions, classes were set up and the
most likely men in each Army unit
given informal practical instruction.
AS result glee clubs sprang up and
the men gave up their precious
leisure hours to practice and re-
hearse.
That this technique struck SYM
pathetic note in this area is evi-
denced by the music lovers who
gather In scores, at all hours, around
pianos, radios and Victrolas in
Washington's USO clubs. Typical
Is the growing attendance of service
men. WAACS, WAVES and war
workers at the weekly ME and My
Gal Songfest" held every Wednesday
evening at 8 o'clock at the USO Club
at the Central YMCA, 1875 G street

Bv Leila Mechlfn.

William M. Chase, artist and
teacher, once said that every art
museum should have carved above
its door the words For Your Pleas
ure." Nowhere would they be more
true, as well as appropriate, than
at the entrance to our National
Gallery Of Art in this city. Not
only is great art to be found within
its halls, but also, of late, fine
music.
It was during the great war, Is
years ago, that music was given
place with the other arts in the
art museum. Then, primarily for
the enjoyment of the men of the
armed service and others bearing
the burden of warfare, the Metro
politan Museum of Art, New York,
inaugurated two series of evening
orchestral concerts in its Fifth ave-
nue. entrance hall, to which admis-
sion was free. These concerts, con-
Quoted by David Names were
great success. The attendance
ranged from 1000 to 1000, yet
so attentive were the listeners, that
despite the fact the majority sat
on the floor and many stood, had
a pin been dropped it would have
been heard. These concerts were
financed by private gifts, chiefly by
the museums trustees. They have
been given year after year since
and continue to uphold their orig
inal high standard
Other art museums followed suit,
among them those of Cleveland,
Detroit, Chicago, Buffalo and Bos-
ton. Before the war ended music
was strongly entrenched in these
institutions, which are likewise car
rying on. The custom has extended
to England, where In the British
National Gallery, since the first year
Of the war, concerts have been given
daily at the lunch hour and an
new audience for good music
developed. Incidentally, the food
served is cheap, i wholesome and
palatabie. The hIltz did not inter-
rupt these CHEEKY mfddays for Lon
don workers. It was Myra Hess,
eminent British pianist, who first
made the suggestion which Sir Ken
meth Clark, director of the National
Gallery Of Art, Trafalgar Square,
so successfully has carried out.
To World War I we are further
indebted, for it was during our par
ticipation in that great conflict that
our service bands received excep-

Mrs. Fulton Lewis, ST., whose COL
lection of 18th and 18th century
American quilts is one of the best
extant, has lent II outstanding
masterpieces to the Folk Art Center,
New York City. to be exhibited
throughout March. The show
opened last Tuesday. The selection
she made from her group of 100 old
quilts, was on the basis of both
beauty of workmanship and variety
of pattern, both in patching and
quilting. At least six Of them came
from Maryland. Several are two
centuries old. One, an eight-pointed
star pattern, has a border of historic
chintz, celebrating the marriage or
coronation OF King William w of
England (uncle of Queen Victoria) .
Mrs. Lewis prepared an admirable
little catalogue which Is distributed

March 81.
They are not representational, and
yet they were inspired by mountains,
waterfalls, and cloud-fllled skies.
But the observer will find the es-
sence of these natural elements,
rather than any peaks or cascades
that he can identify. All Of these
panels are beautiful; they have
sensitive harmonious color schemes
with no jarring contrasts. Surely
most people will feel inspired, ex-
alted or at peace temporarily
while they bask In the atmosphere
created by these lovely works.
There Is considerable movement
in some of the paintings, notably
the lunette Liberation" and &c
stasy" with their ascending shapes.
The exquisite "Voice OF Many
Waters" carries out the title theme
by the brittle breaking up of shapes,
which suggests the sound of a
waterfall. The paintings are two
ulllCIIolOIldi, dllO cACCuUCo WIFI
superb craftsmanship.
One aspect of these decorations,
however. seems to be limitation
their similarity. Although they are
varied in contour, some being rec
tangular panels, others ovals and
still others lunettes, and although
their color schemes differ, never
theless. the total effect of three
galleries containing them. is a GER
tain "sameness" One would prob
ably derive more inspiration and
pleasure from ownership Of one or
two than Of a group.
Mr.. Tack Is one of the Nation S
foremost painters of religious SUBJ
jects. He is a Catholic with a deep
appreciation of his church's faith
He has painted outstanding murals
for the Psulist Church, New York
Chapel of the Cenacle Convent
Newport, r. l., and st. James
Church, South Deerfield, Mass
Perhaps his best-known murals are
those in the Nebraska State Capitol
These works would be regarded by
the average person as naturalistic;
yet study of them reveals unusual
elements such as an introduction o.
passages suggestive of Byzantine
and Italian primitive painting.
