TOBACCO MEANS PROSPERITY


today in Southern Maryland.
August motorists riue between fields
of green leaves that after curing may
sell at unprecedented prices at the
tobacco auctions 1t is the Maryland
tobacco that adds a steady burning
quality to the mixture in a cigarette
The best quality Maryland may sell
for 72 cents a pound and the average
price has been Sc cents. One field OF
tobacco may realize thousands OF
dollars.
Such prices approach those paid in
the 18th and 18th centuries. when
the leaf was luxury in the capitals
of Europe In those days the labor
was slave and the lords OF the Mary
land manors were persons OF wealth.
Such manor is the oldest house IN
Maryland. the manor OF CornWalils'
Cross, built 302 years ago on st, In

though dormers and a portico nave

outline of the original house can be
seen In the brickwork. Walnut trees
tower about the house and lockwood
bush in the garden is 80 feet in diam
eter.
The place was built by Thomas.
CORVALLIS. a commissioner of the
Ark and Dove expedition-the orig
inal Maryland settlement of 1884. He
came from London and is believed to
have been of the same family as the
peer who surrendered at Yorktown l4s
years later

A Leaf Will Out|ive
A Family Tree

This was the arrangement: The gen.
tlemen adventurers paid Lord Balti-
more S10O for each worker transported
to the colony. In return Lord Balti-
more patented to the gentleman 1000
acres for each five men The men
were under contract to work without
pay at least four years for the gentle
man in exchange for their transpor-
tation.
For 10 men transported by Thomas
CORVALLIS he was patented 1000 acres
as a manor Apparently leaders of the
expedition were given double acreage
That brought his cost down to rs cents
an acre.
In it's very first year the house was
raided by Roundhead sympathizers in
an outbreak incident to the struggle
between King and Parliament. Corn
wallis, whose wife Penelope would not
risk the three month sea voyage,
meantime had returned to London.
He sued for damages.
Some time before the American
Revolution the manor passed into the
possession of branch of the Ellicott
family, the family that gave its name
to Ellicott City. Family descendants.
Mrs. Charles S. Grason, a widow, and
her two daughters, Dorothy Grason
and Mrs. Marie Cruitt, live in the
manor. They are the last of the line.
The interior is an antiquarlan's
treasure trove. Over a mantelpiece
hangs an original Peale portrait of
a lady of the manor in the Federal
days-one of the Ellicotts. Below is
Franklin stove On the walls are un-
identified early American paintings
Il am not a lady, but my great,
great grandmother was says Mrs
Cruitt, showing guests through the
house. She is usually in overalls, hoe
in hand. She kept the place going
through the help shortage of the war
years, planting and stripping tobacco
herself. And the high prices it brought
enabled her to pay off the mortgage.
Mindful of the work, she says: III

Works of 2 Mexican Composers
Feature Water Gate Concert

relas de Viaje," We're of different
types, the former employing Mayan
themes and rhythms and the latter
more reminiscent of the French
idiom. The persistent drumbeat
often OF some duration, in Mr..
Ayalas work, the use of native in
strumentS, the dark color and the
unvarying rhythm, form the basis of
a modern treatment Of ancient
themes. Originally ballet music, it
is descriptive of the beginnings of
man according to the Mayan theory
and as such has a primeval quality
that Is skillfully accentuated in the
orchestration.
Mr.. Vasquez' "Acuarelas de Via je'
has three divisions entitled An
ticipation," Lake Amatitlan" and
Return" With delicacy OF touch
he has created the appropriate at
mosphere, at times employing poign-
ant harmonies in juxtaposition to
fuller orchestral usage with fine ap-
peal. 1t Is work Of substance and
the conductor was warmly ap-
plauded at its conclusion. The con-
cert ended with the Brahms Sym

The postponement OF concert at
tbs Water Gate usually results in
smaller audience the succeeding
night and such was the case when
the Friday program Of the National
Symphony Orchestra, due to the
storm, was put off until last night.
There were several compensations,
however, among them the presence
OF two distinguished Mexican COM
posers, Jose Vasquez, who appeared
for the second time as guest con-
ductor of the orchestra, and Daniel
Ayala, whose Eel Hombre Maya"
was played for the first time here
and who came out to acknowledge
tho cordial reception accorded his
composition.
Mr. Vasquez has given Washing
ton the rare opportunity to hear
symphonic works by Mexican COM
posers on the two programs he has
directed at the Water Gate. Last
night one Of his own was included
and In his conducting of the music
OF his native country, he demon
strated keen feeling and ability to
gain colorful results from an Or
chestra unfamiliar with the special
nuances required.
Making his debut here at the
same time was the Metropolitan
Opera baritone, Walter Cassel. who
is equipped already to challenge
vocally the supremacy of such re-
nowned artists as Lawrence Tibbett
and John Charles Thomas. AS yet
Mr.. Cassel does not have the kind
OF interpretive ability of the cele-
brities that injects wealth of shad-
tngS into the vocal tone and de-
lights in the play of infections ac-
cording to the meaning of the text
His voice Is a magnificent one, OF
great volume and rich timbre which
should lend itself to every type OF
nuances with the splendid breath
control he possesses.
His first group consisted of two
arias: vision Fugitive" from Mas
senet's "Herodiade" and Fri tu'
from Verdis "Un Ballo in Masch-
era" 1t was in the latter that his
full talent was revealed in the seem
ingly inexhaustible sorority Of his
voice. his dramatic power and
breadth Of style. That this type OF
music is his forte was shown also
in LaForge's "Voodoo Spirits" a song
written last summer and dedicated
to the singer. Somewhat on the Or
der of GLORY Road" it requires the
same abandon and fervor that Tib-
bett uses and which Mr.. Cassel COM
manded with ease.
The excellence Of his diction was
to be appreciated in the songs in
English, Sailors Life" arranged by
Wilson and Rachmaninoff' I'm the
Silence of the Night" as we'll as in
the French and Italian of the arias.
Encores were asked for by the
pleased audience that took him to
its heart and Mr.. Cassel started of
in rousing fashion with Speaks "On
the Road to Mandalay."
The two Mexican numbers pre-
sented by Mr.. Vasquez, Ayala's "El
Hombre Maya" and his own "Acua-
