experience came-five years, 1884
1889, in the darkest part of the
Dark Continent-Where, however, he
found light and leading" the i'm
print of which years on the remain
der of his life was indelible.
He was first with the Free State
& Sanford Exploring Co., and then
with the Emin Pacha Relief Expe-
dition under Stanley. For the ma
tive Congo people he came to have
affection and respect, and from
them he received kindness and trust.
Again his drawing book was with
him.
When back in England after a
lecture tour in the United States,
and marriage to an American lady
whom he met on the out voyage, he
began to paint, from which he was
later to pass to sculpture. At first,
and for a season, he worked at
Julian's, in Paris, under Robert
Fleury and Jules Lefevre. Then
came two years with Seymour Lucas
as friend instructor in London. Out
of these-and his five years in the
Congo-came the sculpture which
he was to leave to us as a lasting
memorial, of all it stands for in
racial good will and understanding.
Herbert Ward had something to
say, and he took the utmost pains
to find the right medium in which
to say it. Also, he took every care
to say it well. His works are ethno-
logically correct-therefore of in
terest to scientists-but they are
also profoundly impressive as works
of art-hence of universal signif-
canoe. His statues are endowed not
merely with power and suggested
motion, but "the mysterious touch of
life"-they are living things, sensi-
lively interpreted through art of a
very exceptional order.
Ward began exhibiting in 1900,
the first head he did being accepted
for great exhibitions both in Paris
and London. Awards and honors
followed in quick succession. Prac-

Record Reviews
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Artur Rodzinskis directing OF the
Cleveland Orchestra has not been
consistently high rating. Since he
records exclusively for Columbia he
has been quite active in presenting
works of the standard repertoire,
Among the March release of this
company is his recording of the
Beethoven "Symphony No. l." which
is by far the best he has done in
some time.
Not especially imaginative in his
approach to the masters, in this
work he displays a greater play of
fantasy in dynamic effects and more
regard for coloring The entire
performance is clean-cut yet not
academic and for many points
which register with unusual en-
phasis, he has a definite idea to
the carrying out of which he en-
ploys the orchestral tone with fine
results. In many respects, this is

effective number is "Scapino, a
Comedy Overture" by Walton, and
shows once again the unique musi-

Viii Appear on
Same Program
In Benefit

Two outstanding concert artists
will appear on the same program at
Constitution Hall next Sunday, May
2, $50 pm, when Mischa Elman,
the famous violinist, is joined by the
young baritone, Igor CORN. In a
special concert sponsored by the
United Jewish War Effort.
Elman, one of the greatest con-
temporary violinists, has been per-
forming since the turn of the CEN
tury. His virtuosity has taken him
through six continents, and he has
acclaim from peoples of all races.
He has appeared with virtually every
musical organization of note in this
country. In his benefit appearance
in Washington on May he will play
Sonata in D Major" by Handel,
and Concerto in G Minor" by
Bruch, accompanied at the piano by
Leopold Mittman.
Possessing a truly masterful voice,
CORN will be remembered by Water
Gate audiences for his brilliant per-
formance with the National SYM
phony Orchestra last summer. CO.
rim recently has appeared in series
of radio programs for the Treasury
Department and sang for soldiers in
a long list of training camps.
Both Elman and CORN are donat-
ing their services for the occasion.
The money derived from the concert
will be devoted to relieving the suf-
ferings of children of all creeds in
War-torn England and China and
for the purpose of purchasing field
hospitals for the Russian front.
The Washington concert is part of
drive for $3,000,0O0 to be raised
throughout the country. Tickets are
on sale at the Cappel Concert Bu-
reau in Ballard's, 1340 G street.
