RECORD NOTES
By RAEBuRN FLERLAGE

The first complete recording of
H u m p er dinck s Hansel and
Gretel has j ust been issued by
Columbia in an excellent per-
Torrance by the Metropolitan
Opera Association featuring Rise
Stevens, Nadine Conner and John
Brownlee MOP-26, $1,000.
Sang in English, the folkish lit
tie children's opera should find
its way into many Christmas pack
ages.
ABSOLUTE TOPS" on my own
list is the beautiful performance
by Reginald Kell and the Phil
harmonic Quartet of Mozart-s
magical Clarinet Quintet tAfM- 702,
$3.50. One of the three great
composers for the clarinet with
Brahms and Weber,, Mozart ere
ated matchless works both in the
chamber and concerto categories
for this most expressive of wind
instruments.
Benny Goodman's excellent per-
Torrance on Victor has long been
difficult to obtain, and it is for
tunate that KelI was chosen to
make the alternate version, since
he's one of he handful of clarinet
lists who could match Hull Houses
Benny.
The result, to be brief, is one
of the most measurable albums in
the catalogues.
COLLECTORS who understand
blues and jazz have always con-
sidered Bessie Smiths first Co
lumfoia album one of music's top
prizes. I'm inclined to suspect that
the second album by ''the Empress
of the Blues" (C-142, 1919 will
outsell the other volume two-to-
one.
In the first place, it contains
Nobody Knows You When You're
Down and Out and Gimme a
Pigfoot - two of the most mag
nificent sides ever cut.
In the second place, it has I'M
expectedly fine surfaces; and in
the third, CoIumbia's new Rec
ortainer" makes it one of the neat
est packages on the market
bookshelf size.

Cali My Sons" deals with the
question of social responsibility
in the story of small manufac-
turer who delivered defective air
plane parts during the war-his
crime resulting in the death of 81
American pilots and involving ter
rible consequences to members of
his own household.
For the second time young Ar
thur Miller has dealt courageously
and effectively with an important
and socially significant theme, and
on this occasion it gained him
the laurels of the New York Drama
Critics Circle Award for the best
play of 1947.
TWO years earlier he had
reached teh peak in the fiction
field with his powerful novel deal
ing with anti-semitism, Focus"
which reached the best-seller class
and has now sold over 100, 600
copies.
A New Yorker by birth, tall and
Lincolnesque in appearance, Miller
got the prize-winning habit early.
As student at the University of
Michigan he found himself once
too broke to go home for the holi-
days, He borrowed a typewriter,
and in three days batted out
comedy that netted him $1750 in
prizes-a $500 Avery Hopwood
Award and a grant of $3.50 from
the Theatre Guild. A second effort
brought him a second Avery Hop
wood prize.
1T WAS in the field of radio
that he really served his appren-
ticeship as a writer, turning out
reams of copy daily. He confesses
he got so he could do a half-hour
radio show in an eight-hour stint
at the typewriter. But this jour
neyman work did not prevent him
from thinking, or from observing

how the world around him was
constituted. AS he worked he
studied the political and economic
cogwheels of society, and what he
learned gave solidity and author
ity to his creative work.
In addition to winning the critics
prize, CAN My Sons" was declared
the best play of the year by the
American Theatre Wing and also
topped the poll of theatrical folk
conducted by Billboard. 1t is rare
that honors like these are showered
upon uncompromisingly progress
sive works-particularly in these
reactionary days.

on his fourth and last brush with
death.
1--WE were in a wooded area in the
front lines" he says, "and were
pausing briefly to catch our breath.
Suddenly there was an explosion
overhead and trees began to crash
around us. I looked down and saw
blood on my left arm. 1t had been
hit by shrapnel."
He was sent back to Paris and
hospitalized for the remainder Of
the war. Although he asked to
be sent back into action, he missed
the massacre of Malmedy, in which
mis- outfit was the one which was
moved down by their German
captors.
Saved by Erroneous Order.
His first escape occurred when his
outfit was given an erroneous order
to advance. Minutes after they ad-
vanced, the area they had left was
subjected to heavy shelling.
His other escape came when he
traded watches with another SOL
dier, who had complained that Mr..
Bort was getting shorter watch
periods than he. The other man
had barely assumed his watch sta
ton when he was hit by shell.
He says now that he is so con-
vinced it was divine guidance"
which saved him that nothing can
deter him from his desire to be-
come Methodist minister.
A former employe of the Bureau
of Engraving and Printing, he is
the son Of the late Harry r. Bort,
former route agent fer The Star.

Falls Church PTA Hits
Reopenirg School Floor

The reopening of the third floor
of the old Jefferson School in Falls
Church was severely criticized at a
meeting of the Falls Church Par
ent- Teacher Association last night.
Speakers pointed out that the top
floor was closed off by the school
board last year after the PTA had
requested that it not be used unless
certain structural changes were
made to permit quicker exit In case
of fire. The school board has made
the alterations the PTA requested
and opened the top floor in order
to take up overflow from Madison
School. Figures presented to the
meeting showed that in the last two
weeks alone there have been 40 new
enrollments at the Madison School

ing was that the building might be
structurally unsafe and that an i'm
partial inspection should be made
by competent sources. A resolution
was approved urging an inspection
by a representative of the county
school system, the State Board OF
