Midnite came, and the noise
reached a mighty crescendo.
So tonight she was waiting. Only
God and she and Harry knew how
important was this New Years Eve.
Bill Collins had asked her out for
the evening but she said, no, she
wasn't feeling well and would stay
home Then he asked if he might
drop around to her apartment and
she begged off. Bill had given her
a puzzled look, but only God and
she and Harry knew.
Laurette washed the dinner
dishes, brushed her hair and
Strengthened up the living room, be-
cause Harry used to enjoy sitting
in front of the hearth with his pipe.
At eleven o'clock there was
knock at the door, and Laurette's
heart jumped. But it was only the
lady next door, pausing long enough
to extend the inevitable Happy
New Year!"
What's happy about it?" Lau-
rette wanted to ask her.
She picked up book apd tried
to read, but it was no use. Mid
night came, and outside the noise
reached a mighty crescendo. At
that moment Laurette suddenly
realized that Harry had failed her;
New Years Eve was over. and he
hadn't kept the rendezvous!
Then the telephone tangled and
Laurette leaped to answer.
''San Francisco calling Miss
Windsor" said the operator. Then
a long silence, while Laurette held
her breath. Hadn't Bill thought he'd
seen Harry in San Francisco? Final
ly the operator came back: I'm
sorry, Miss Windsor, but our lines
have apparently gone out some
where. I'll have to call you back"
Then Laurette had an idea. "Op-
orator." she asked, was that call
addressed just to Miss Windsor?
Wasn't there a first name?"
why, / guess So" came the re-
ply. Eyes, here it is-to Miss Lau-
rie, Laurie Windsor. That's you,
isn't it?"
'I'll say 1t isl" Laurette shouted
gleefully. ''But only one person in
the world ever called me that!"

New Years Blessings
Ancient Swiss Legend

According to Swiss legend, the
Holy Family is abroad during the
hour of midnight mass on Christ
mas Eve.
Therefore, Q bowl of fresh milk
is placed upon the dining table
and each member of the house
hold carefully lays his spoon upon
the table cloth.
The person who, returning from
church, finds his spoon has been
moved may anticipate special
blessings during the coming year:
for surely Mary and Joseph have
rested within the abode during
their Flight into Egypt and the
Virgin used that spoon to feed the
Infant Jesus.

Bjoerling Sang Here
With Quartet in Fl

Jussi Bioerling, Metropolitan
Opera tenor, will make his local
recital debut under Dorothy Hodg-
kin Dorseys management next Sum
day afternoon. He will be assist
ed at the piano by Frederick Schau-
wecker. The artist recently re-
turned from Sweden, where he gave
concerts and visited his three chill
dren near Stockholm. He will be-
gin his tour tomorrow in Minneapo-
lis where he first sang as a boy
soprano 25 years ago He gave con-
certs then in Swedish churches as
a member of a family quartet, which
included his father and two brothers.
.Bjoerling's debut as soloist in a
General Motors broadcast. nine years
ago and New York recital, led to
his engagement with the Metropoll-
tan Opera. The outbreak of World
War II temporarily ended his actlvi-
ties in this country, which he re-
sumed last year. He sang at the
Metropolitan Opera and with the
Chicago and San Francisco COM
panies. He also made a short con-
cert tour. He will return to the
stage in mid-December, but will be
heard in more than SO concerts be-
fore spring. This tour will be in the
nature of a silver jubilee for the
35-year -old tenor who was here in
1921 with the Bjoerling Vocal Quar-.
tet, directed by his father.

Exhibition of Moderns at Phillips Gallery
Will Remain Here Only Until November "a
By Florence S. BefrymonF

pioneers of Modern Art in Amer
cia," an important exhibition which
originated at the Whitney Museum
of American Art, New York City, last
spring, and is now being circulated
bv the American Federation of Arts,
has just opened at the Phillips Me-
mortal Gallery to remain only
through November a. This in one of
II museums throughout the country
to obtain the show during its year
of travel. Eight additional places
which requested it could not be ac-
commodated.
The travelling exhibition is neces-
sarily smaller than the original, but
1t is a part of it, not substitution.
OF the "a pioneers" in the original,
only two are not included in the pres
ent selection. Each artist Is rep
resented with two paintings or
sculptures. OF the 64 works shown,
81 were in the Whitney exhibition.
The admirable introduction by
Lloyd Goodrich (of Whitney mu-
seum's staff to the original exhibi-
ton catalogue has been reprinted
in its entirety and is available at the
Phillips Gallery. 1t is brief his
tory of modern movement during
the past half century.
Although all of the exhibits were
painted between 1908 and 1921 (the
ma jority between 1918 an 1879 the
show as a whole seems remarkably
contemporary. Two-thirds of the
artists are now in their Sos and Cos.
The major difference in effect be-
tween this group of pioneer modern
paintings Cthere are only five sculp-
tures) and a comparable show Of
today's, is in the deeper, more SOM
her cnlorS.

Westminster Choir,
Marking 18th Year,
To Sing Wednesday

On it's first transcontinental tour
since the war, the Westminster
Choir will be heard in Constitution
Hall Wednesday. This year marks
the 25th anniversary of this 40
voice group directed by DR.. John
Finley Williamson.
A quarter of a century ago the
choir made its first appearance as
a concert group through the efforts
of Mrs. Edgar Stillman Kelly, then
head of the Federation of Music
Clubs. She secured financial spon-
sorship which launched it on
concert career. In 1920. sponsored
by Mrs. H. E. Talbot of Dayton,
Ohio. the choir travelled in this
country and Europe and has. been
making repeated appearances in
principal cities of the United States
since.
Twenty years ago the West
minister Choir College was estab-
lished in Dayton. After moving
to Princeton it became degree
granting institution, holding its
charter from New Jersey, The
school was designed to train musi-
clans as thoroughly as conserva-
| tory of music. its curriculum in
Guiding in addition subjects neces-
sary for successful church, college
and community leadership. 1t en-
joys academic reciprocity with
Princeton Theological Seminary.
| The group participated in the
making of Walt Disney's Fantasia" -
and of the film Hymn Of the Ma
| tions." Its latest recordings include
Beethoven's Ninth Symphony"
made with the Philadelphia Orches-
ira under Eugene Ormandy.
The choir takes its name from
church in Dayton and Its musical
standards from DR.. Williamson, its
founder. He lifted the organization
to the important place in the music
world which il now occupies.

Howard Has Fine Exhibit


Minna Citrons exhibition of
paintings, drawings and prints at
Howard University Gallery of Art
through November contains a. col
lection of surprises for all who re-
member her solo show at the Cor
coran Gallery of Art a few years
ago and her works in group shows
here and elsewhere. She has gone
all out for abstraction.
The present exhibition Is retro
spective of her work during nearly
decade. The visitor can follow
her career through series of paint
ings of people, depicted naturaliS-
tically with flavor of kindly satire,
to figures done in more patterned
line, and, finally, to representa-
tional paintings - concerned solely
with color and texture.
Whether or not she has perma-
nently turned away from her for
mer interpretations of contemporary
life, many of her admirers will still
derive pleasure from such paintings
as "The Dealer "Old Hee Haw," "
Forced Labor Lilly of Tennessee
Valley" and prominently Dress
Circle" Carnegie Hall, all of which
are hanging in Howard's Founders
Library. Although the exhibition is
not hung in strictly chronological
order, the more recent water colors
of the past year or two are kept
together.
Mrs. Citron was born in Newark,
N. j., obtained her education in
schools and colleges of Brooklyn and
New York City, and made three
study trips to Europe. She lives in
New York, has frequent solo exhibit
tiols there, and is also represented
by solo and in group exhibitions
throughout the country

beautiful in color, and his STRIFE,
painted in 1918, seems prophetic.
Some of these pioneers are well
known here because of their sub
stantial representation in the Phil
lips Memorial Gallery's collections:
Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John
Marin and Georgia OKeefe. The
last mentioned is represented in this
travelling show by loan from the
Phillips Gallery, the stark and SIM
pie MY Shanty." Maurice Sterne,
too. is familiar to Washingtonians
because of his muras in the De-
partment of Justice and his work at
the Corcoran Gallery. His years in
the Orient were a strong influence.
Two of his Oriental paintings, done
in 1912 Cin India and Bali, are the
current shows examples of his pio-
neering in modernism.
Every one interested In the de-
velopment of progressive tendencies
in American art will want to see
this exhibition during the fortnight
it will remain.

Pioneer Works No Longer
Appear to Be Revolutionary

But after examining individual
works, one is surprised. Some OF
these "pioneers" do not seem at all
radical to our eyes; others whom we
now regard as fairly solid realists
who paint in a comparatively nat
uralistic way today have changed
from their experimental days of 80
years ago.
In the first category are Andrew
Dasburg, whose Landscape" is fresh
and pleasing, if trifle misty; Sam
uel Halpert, represented with his
substantial Cathedral Interior" and
handsome Still Life in Window
Bernard Karfiol, whose boy Bath
ers" appears to be no more revolu-
tionary than the well-known Bath
ers" by William Morris Hunt in the
Boston Museum, and Middleton
Manigault, whose wooden Indian
is a speaking likeness of the cigar
store original.
Henry Lee McFee's portrait OF q
baby seems as traditional as an old
masters. But his "Still Life" OF
apples enveloped in cubistic set
ting makes him a pleasant pioneer
However, he is one who has changed
to solid realism. Thomas Benton
some Is years after these paintings
OF World War I period, became a
leading interpreter of the American
Scene" Charles Burchfield is an
other surprise. His two early water
colors particularly THE East
wind) look like the backgrounds
to an animated cartoon; they have
imagination and fantasy quite diff
ferent from the satirical realism OF
his later paintings. Charles Sheeler
too, is represented by distractions
quite different from his recent and
contemporary Photographic preci-
sion. -.
Earliest Work Is Walkowitz's S
Picnic in the Park
Maurice Prendergast is the earli-
est modern in the group, having
been converted in 1898. His tapes
try-like patterns of people in parks
are very similar to his painting
which won the third Corcoran BIZ
ef1nial prize in 1928, to the bewild-
efment of many Washington gal-
leryeoers. The earliest painting in
the exhibition is Abraham Walko-
witz's Picnic in the Park" 1908),
a. decorative panel rather like a
mural study.
Most of these pioneer moderns
found their inspiration in French
art. But few were launched else
where. notably Oscar Bluemner,
German born architect, whose Silk
tawn on the Passaic" seems to be
exactly what one would expect of an
aSchitect turned modern painter.
Konrad Cramer, also German-born,
was stimulated by expressionism.
HIS abstract improvisation" is
