UNIQUE MUSIC

One of the most unusual musical
scores ever recorded was composed
by Bronislau Kaper and conducted
at M-G-M by Nat w. Funston for
"Bataan." Kaper used strings and
wodwinds for uncanny effects, some
times in monody, to sustain sus-
pense as thirteen soldiers headed
by Robert Taylor, await enemy at
tack in a tropic swamp. Melodic
themes were used only in certain
portions, the bulk of the music,
which runs entirely through the
picture, being atmospheric" A go
piece orchestra played the score.

SUB IN THE STREET

All day long
The passing throng,
Gazed and gazed,
Impressed and amazed
At the elongated tub
Called two-man sub.
There it stood on skids,
1t was a field-day for the Kids
Visitors came and went,
Many dollars were spent
To have a look inside,
No one wanted ride.
A long torpedo thing
Brought here one day in Spring,
To be viewed by son and daughter
On dry land, not on water,
But TO most it was a treat
To just view it in the street.

The Russian Eniqr1u
By William Henry Chamberlin
fScribner'S.)


fScribner'S.)
1t can truly be said of this book
on Communist Russia that it is a
highly informative volume. 1t can
not be so truly said however. that
it covers any important ground
which has not been covered before.
1t is pretty much a routine survey
of history since the revolution, with
emphasis on economic and foreign
policy. The most important recon-
mendation for it is that William
Henry Chamberlin is on the con-
servative side of the Russian ques-
ton and that his estimates are not
to be put down to the current war
induced enthusiasm for our ally.
His book sums up to about the fol-
lowing opinions:
That the Russian revolution does
not represent the complete break
with Russias history which its
protagonists intended. That re-
preston, absolutism, secret police.
mass executions, mass deportations
and the like features of the Com
munist regime were also features of
the Tsarist regime. That revolu-
.tionary Russia devoted itself from
its beginning to preparations for
war, whence its splendid showing
today and whence, too, the contra
diction between its superb military
equipment and its inferior products
for civilian use. That the unceasing
propaganda of the Communist party
had created dynamism in Rus
sian youth which is a new thing in
the country's history. That the
trend of the party in recent preWar
years has been toward conservatism
and that much of the fervor of the

Equinox

By Allan Sedgcr. (Simon &
SchuSter.)
Mr.. Seager is an excellent writer,
and it is A shame he has wasted his
talent on this novel. But it is a first
novel, so it may be that he viii
choose n more acceptable theme for
his next effort. The trouble with
the present work is that it deals
with situation that is not only un-
pleasant. but unlikely-so unlikely,
IN fact, that not even Mr.. Seager's s
considerable talent as writer can
make 1t seem real. Perhaps the best
way to review such a book is mere
ly to summarize the story it tells:
Richard Miles returns home after
many years abroad, and his IT.
year-old daughter comes TO live with
him. From early childhood, the girl
has idealized her father, and he
meets her expectations in every
way. The two are happy together
until a jealous woman tells Miles
the nature of his daughters love.
Then the unhappy father consults
an amateur psychiatrist, whose
cruel and superficial handling Of the
case leads to tragedy.
Those are the basic elements of
the story, and they add up to some
exceptionally good writing that
makes rather poor reading, on the
whole. PHIL.

East and West meet with har-
mony and some surprising analogies
in the East-West exhibition which
opened at the Phillips Memorial
Gallery last Sunday afternoon along
with three other shows.
The idea for this display was con-
ceived by Karl Nierendorf of New
York City, who presented it in
somewhat more extensive form in
his gallery during June and July
Through his cooperation many OF
the same objects have been lent tc
the Phillips Gallery, which has
added six works from it's own col
lections. The aim of TIE show is set
forth in the catalogue introduction
by Martha Davidson, originally pre-
pared for the Nierendorf exhibition
The specific comparisons offered
in this exhibition" she says in part
were brought together to demon
strate basic stylistic analogies
sometimes resulting from influence
but mostly arising from similar in
spirational conditions. Despite geo.
graphic and temporal differences
the fundamental universally of hui
man experience is reflected in the
kinship of mans reactions as ex-
pressed here in his arts"
Idea shows such as this are edu-
catiohal in the best sense. They
teach one to study works of art
rather than to glance at them su-
perficially. The visitor must enter
into the spirit of comparison, other
wise the display will be merely an
assortment of unrelated objects. AS
matter of fact, many of the analo-
gies are so obvious that one is likely
to overlook the profound knowledge
of art possessed by those who as
sembled the exhibition.

Surely every one will see a like
ness between the study of wild
flowers" by Albrecht Durer and
the equally naturalistic Chinese
painting on silk Of "Violets. Dan
delions and Butterfly" done in the
Sung dynasty. The analogy between
Peaches by another Sung artist
and Flowers by contemporary
French Georges Rouault is not so
apparent, but it will appear after a
few moments study of the two.
A marble figure of a Buddhist
monk (Sung) and a Greek marble
torso, possibly 1900 years older
have the same stylized drapery and
bodies. Whether a Spanish ro-
manesque Virgin and Child, placed
some distance from these, is sup
posed to exhibit an analogy is not
clear. But no one can mistake
its markedly Chinese appearance
One of the most successful pairs
is bronze food vessel of the Middle
Chou period and an abstract paint
ing by Paul Klee; the angular NOV
ing pattern in both is striking. Also
outstanding is the likeness" be-
tween a grayish stone Bodhisattva
head, late 9Th century, and Mo-
digliani's painted portrait of Anna
de ZboroWSka-elongated nose, mar
row, .slltlike eyes and other features
similar in both works.
At this time. when the United
States and China are fighting a
common enemy, and for presumably
the same ideals, it is natural that
we should be particularly interested
in other likenesses. But it is sig
nificant that many schools of art
are drawn upon for these analogies
indicating the all-embracing nature
of Chinese culture, the tremendous
length and breadth Of 1t.

The National Gallery of Art has
recently placed on exhibition, as in
definite loans, two important paint
lngs by WlnSloW Homer, the greatest
Of all our American marine painters
These are Lost on the Banks" lent
by John S. Broome. and High
Cliff, Coast of Maine" lent on re-
quest of Mr.. Finley, director of the
National Gallery of Art. and with
the consent of DR.. Abbot. secretary
Of the Smithsonian Institution. from
the National Collection of Fine Arts
to which it was given, with other
notable works by American artists
Of the same era, by the late William
T. Evans.
Both of these paintings are very
characteristic of the painter and
the subjects he chose for rendition
almost all Of which concerned them
selves with the drama of the sea in
direct relation to man, those who
made their living on it or from it,
dWellerS on the rugged New England
coast, where Homer, himself had a
home. The human interest is per-
haps less obvious in the High Cliff
than usual, but if the observer will
look sharply it will be found to be
there.
On the very top of the cliff,
against which the surf is so maiesti-
cally breaking, silhouetted against
the leaden sky, are three standing
figures, looking out to sea, and, in
themselves. giving measure of
height and grandeur.
Conrad once said that anv one
who knew the sea and did not fear
1t. was fool, but he. himself, loved
It as much as he feared it. So also
did WinsloW Homer. William Howe
DoWnes in his biography of Homer
tells how he awakened him at 3
o'clock in the morning, while on a
visit to Prouts Neck, urging him to
get up at once and go with him to
see the surf. Come quickly" he
said, 1T is perfectly grand 1t is
this fear and love that one finds so
vividly commingled in Homer's
marine paintings.
An Early Work
Lost on the Grand Banks" is a
comparatively early work, dated
1886, more definitely tragic and per-
haps less competent than the High
Cliff" but equally characteristic. In
the foreground are two fishermen in
a dorry, both of whom have been
rowing, but have paused to peer into
the grayness of early dawn to sight
If possible their master vessel. There

Is despair in these figures and
tragedy in the air, in the roll OF the
white-capped waves and the dull
ness of the sky. This same feeling.
it will be remembered, recurs in
The Life Line "Undertoe" and
the Gulf Stream" as well as other
of Homer's canvases. This paint
ing, moreover, manifeStS with eX-
ceptional clearneSS Homer's ability
to paint the heave Of the sea and to
give thereby indication of the
weight of water as has none other in
the whole history of art.
WinsloW Homer was always in
terested in the life of the people
although himself a recluse. He al
most always painted story telling
pictures, but so well that even those
who scorn such, as a rule, give to his
works unstinted admiration. Asked
once if he ever changed his subjects
or made them up, his reply was
"Never, never adding, When ]
find something worth painting
paint it just as it is, but sometimes
I have to wait long to get what
want"

This how to win the war; book,
offers the idea that, after the United
Nations have defeated Germany
the best route to Japan will be by
the South Pacific, where an ad-
vance can be made from island to
island by a combined naval and
air force. 1t takes the author lis
pages to say just this, and he says
it with perceptible pompousness.
The great part of his volume, in

dations of points with which any
school child is perfectly familiar.
