Two OF the Philips Memorial
Gallery's December shows can be
seen until Tuesday. One of them
is solo show of paintings, sculp-
ture and mobiles by Max Schal-
linger of Baltimore, an Austrian
artist who came to this country
in 1882. He is said by c. Law Wat
kins Tin his foreword to the cata-
logue of Mr.. Schallinger's exhibi-
tom to have captured and pre-
served the spirit of the folk-art of
his homeland"
Although Mr.. Schallinger was
born in the Salzkammergut, his
education, extensive travel and
international experience surely
must have turned him into a
sophisticate. Consequently, the OBJ
server is apt to doubt the wisdom
in such an artists effort to preserve
in his own work the naivete and
primitivism of authentic folk-art.
There is freshness and charm
about some childhood experiences
and emotions to which the average
person looks back occasionally with
longing, which he knows can
not be recaptured. Similarly, 1t
seems reasonable to assume that a
sophisticated, trained artist can
not recapture the simplicity of the
folk artist, and that any attempt
to do so would be vitiated with self
consciousness.
At any rate, the present group
of paintings, sculptures and mobiles
seem heavy and awkward and
labored, and the writer was unable
to perceive any of the whimsy and
simple charm which pervade some
folk arts.

delve into life histories: instead, the
stage is admirably set to provide
background for achievement against
which trends and influences, poten,
in determining character, naturally
take their place.
The style is essentially literary
and throughout the discussion the
analogy between painting and lit
erature is clearly established. From
first to last the influence of foreign
masters Is recognized and pointed
out, but at the same time the in
herent native flavor" is likewise
given full recognition. Between the
two an excellent balance is main
tanned. There is much here that is
thought-provoking, but nothing
pedantic.
Obviously there are certain omis-
sions which one would like to have
remedied. The landscape school, for
instance, would seem to merit fuller
consideration and such painters as
Thayer, Benson, Tarbell, Melchers
and Cecilia Beaux representation.
Even so the survey is remarkably
comprehensive.
The 104 full-page illustrations
were selected by the authors and
are very well chosen, but, alas, very
poorly printed. Those in black and
white are too heavily linked in most
instances and the eight in color
very false in values. To the artists
this is an injustice and to the public

Elisabeth Schumann
Accorded Reception
In Recital Here
By ALICE EvERSMAN.

The reception accorded the noted
lieder singer, Elisabeth Schumann,
who was presented in recital last
night at Continental Hall by Robert
Fairfax Birch, was one of unalloyed
enthusiasm. Singing a program If
familiar numbers which, with three
exceptions, were given in German,
the artist must have felt the audi
ence was enjoying a remembered
pleasure of time when recitals of
works by the German masters of
song writing were much in vogue.
There was a particular bond of un-
oerstanding between the giver and
the recipients that is not always to
be found.
Nine. Schumann's voice is minia-
ture, but of great sweetness of quail
ity and her singing bears all the
marks of taste and refinement. She
understands how to make each in
flection of value and to maintain the
purity of line in the best traditions
Of lieder singing With this artistry
at her command, she was not able,
however, to project the small drama
inherent in each song and there was
little variety of style to stress the
difference in its character. Some
of this was due to her cloudy die
ton which did not make the words
understandable in either English or
German.
The sameness of approach to these
songs, the texts of which were
chosen with great care by the COM
posers, has been discarded by the
singers of present-day training who
are more in sympathy with the tre-
mendous emotional range the works
typify. The composers listed on last
nights program, Purcell, Haydn,
Mozart, Schubert, Brahms and
Wolf were men of pronounced dra-
matte feeling in their individual
way and whether writing in tender,
gay or somber mood, made their
songs perfect in their complete eX-
preston of the idea of the chosen
poems.
To interpret such masterpieces
fully requires an artist of dramatic
sensibilities. Nine. Schumann's S
vocal limitations prevent a COM
plete realization of the inherent
beauties of the songs, her most eff
fective singing being in numbers of
the character of Schubert's "Nacht
und Traume," Brahms ''Nachtigall"
anu Mozart's 'sDas Veilchen." In
these her effortless vocal emission
and poetic feeling were admirable
expressions of the character of the
songs. The final group by Hugo
Wolf, contained the famous "Anak-
reon's Grab" sung in memory of
the late Edward H. Droop. Leo
Rosenek, at the piano, provided
sympathetic Accomplishments for the
artist who was called on to add
many encores to the program.

Ford KeynOtes
Communist Convention
By J. A. (JACO JOHNSON

James w. Ford, National Vice
Chairman of the Communist
Party U. S. A, and former candi-
date for Vice President of the
United States on the Communist
ticket addressed a large and en-
thusiastic audience at the Moose
Temple Saturday night. Many
Negroes who are not Communists,
but who feel that any Negro who
can win a United States Vice
Presidential nomination on any
mans ticket in this land of dis
elimination were on hand out of
respect to Mr.. Ford and the ideals
for which he stands.
While Mr.. Ford's political
views, like those of all the rest
of us are controversial, his sum-
nation of the progress of the
war, of domestic and world eco
Monies, and post war planning
necessities are sound. Mr.. Ford
urged Negroes to continue to af-
themselves with labor
unions, pointing out that during
World War One, we have increas-
ed from a mere handful to more
than seven hundred and fifty
thousand today.
Mr.. Carl Reeve, Administrative
Secretary of the Northwest Dis
trict Communist Party, speaking
on the Communist Party and Ma
Unity in an address pre-
ceeding Mr.. Ford, paid Mr.. Ford
q fine compliment, by pointing
him out as a symbol of imperish-
able unity between Negroes and
whites as far as the Communist
is concerned. Mr.. Ford's
address proceeded the opening of
the Northwest District Communist
Convention, Sunday. May 7. A
collection of $2,599.35 was raised
by volunteer subscription in about
80 minutes, which isn't exactly
hay, and which likewise reflects
sincerity of purpose on the part
of those who are interested in the
party progress.

METHODISTS SEE RACIAL EQUALITY
ADMIT CHRIST BY One VOTE

KANSAS CITY. - Methodists
declared today that they hope for
ultimate elimination of racial
discrimination" within their
church, after they had been told
that labor unions were going
farther in stamping out racial
discrimination than any Protest
ant church in the United States.
AT present. under an agreement
adopted when the North and
South Methodist Episcopal
Churches united five years ago,
Negro churches, with their 33I,-
900 members are segregated into
n of the six Methodist iurisdic-
lions for administrative purposes.
But in the North, Negroes and
Caucasians have worshipped to-
gether in some churches for
years.
DR.. Ernest Title, Evanston.
ILL.,, speaking for the declaration
which said, I'VE look to the ulti-
mate elimination of racial dis
elimination within the Methodist
Church." declared ::Soviet Rus
STA has abolished discrimination
by law, and labor unions of our
country are going farther to
stamp out racial discrimination
than Protestant churches in
America"
Also included in the long state
ment on racial relations:
Negroes should be given full
rights in citizenship" in their "ca-
reers. housing, transportation,
and in educational facilities"
Commended the War Reloc3-
ton Authority for its policy Of
finding homes and employment
for Japanese-Americans and urg-
ed that the church help in this
relocation work.
Asked that "existing discrimi-
natory legislation" against ORR
entails of friendly nations be
amended Immediately, and as
soon as possible for all nations.
By adoption of a resolution
yesterday, the general conference
held that God himself has a
stake in this war;" and commit
ted the church to active support
of The Allied cause.
1--WE are well within the Chris
tIan position when we assert the
necessity of the use of military
forces to resist an aggression
which would overthrow every
right which is held sacred BY
civilized men," the resolution
stated.
The conference devoted the
entire day to debate on the reso-
luton which was adopted by the
narrow margin of one vote of
the ministerial delegates. The lay
delegates voted 203 to 131 for
adoption, while the ministerial
vote was 10 to 169. The reso-
luton required a majority OF
each group for adoption.
