Artistry Stands Out in Recital

poised refinement. The difficulties
of the Paganini Caprice were
nothing in his hands and he not
only gave a dazzling exhibition of
virtuosity in a very speedy tempo
but managed at the same time to in
vest it with a wealth of finely
worked out detail. The Lalo Sym
phonie Espagnole" was less even in
achievement, although here also
there was the brilliant technical
dexterity and special effects created
through bowling and nuance. The
occasions for a rich singing tone
offered by the melodies appearing
constantly in the midst of bravura
passages, were not taken advantage
of sufficiently nor was there full
realization of the crisp style of the
work.

Evening star., 1947-12-11
By Alice Eversmon

Last night was the first opportu-
nifty to hear Tossy Spivakovsky in
recital in Constitutional Hall, al
though he has appeared there twice
as violin soloist with the National
Symphony. The gifted artist first
focused attention on his particular
talent at Howard University, where
he was presented on the Music
Schools concert courses. These
glimpses of his artistry aroused ex-
pectation Of further appraisement
in the greater acoustical demands
of Constitutional Hall, where, un-
fortunately, last night there was a
small audience to greet him.
The fact that Mr.. Spivakovsky is
an individualist was to be observed
throughout his program. He has
his own ideas about bowling, tempt,
Interpretation and phrasing and all
of them enliven his performance of
works from the regular repertoire
and brilliantly embellish those of
the contemporary. He draws also
a special tonal quality from the
violin and has extraordinary fleet
ness and Sureness in technical
matters. These features set him
apart already as violin personality.
However, the final act of fusing
all these qualities into a complete
and unvarying whole has not been
achieved. They are apparent al
ways in his performance, but not
each to the same degree. What is
felt most strongly are his ideas
which evidently seek broader and
finer method of discourse. There
was not number played that did not
show some original approach, some
interesting effort toward a greater
expansiveness. Because in this re-
spect he has added something to
the accepted manner of violin play
ing and because musically, tech
nically and temperamentally he is
so very gifted, his development will
be watched with interest. He can
smooth off the ridges and assure of
the consistent operation of all the
elements of his art for he has in
telligence as we'll as talent.
In the first part of his program,
Vltali's "Chaconne" and the Paga-
mini Caprice No. "a" were numbers
where his artistry reached the high
est point. His tone in the Cha
come" was exceptionally beautiful
throughout and he played it with

. old Tanis Chandler, who re-
Gently finished an important fea-
tured role in Hunt Stromberg' S
dynamic drama, "Lured," which
fRened at the Loew's Valentine
theatre through United Artists
release. Lucille Ball, George San
ders, Boris Karloff and Charles
Coburn are co-starred In the
film, with Sir Cedric Hardwicke
and Alan Mowbray lending top
support.
Miss Chandler bridged the
gap between reaching Holly
wood and screen recognition by
being a baby sitter. Out of the
baby sitting, however, came an
ingenious idea. Instead of 60
ing to the homes of her en-
ployers, she had the mothers
bring their infants to her. In
that way she multiplied her
earnings. Within a year Miss
Chandler, while still haunting
casting offices, began a nursery
school at her home.
Before she got her big break
with Producer Stromberg, she
had attained an enrolment of
thirty-five children in the school,
which is still in full swing with
her mother and three assistants,
one of them trained nurse, In
charge.
Miss Chandler is perhaps the
only actress in Hollywood who
tided herself over the rough
spots by being a baby sitter, but
there are others who can boast
with pride at their willingness
and ability to get out and really
work at down n-to-earth jobs.
Ellen Drew, for example, was
once a/waitress and soda jerker
in a luncheonette next to Grau-
mans Chinese Theatre in Holly
wood.
(NDana Andrews earned a liv-
Z-.ag for a long time in Hollywood
by pumping gasoline in a service
station.
Alan Ladd knocked around
the film colony for years before
he became established, even
working as grip at Warner
Brothers studio. George Mont
gomery was a bartender at the
Los Angeles Breakfast Club.
Larry Parks, who currently is
riding high because of "The Jol-
son Story" was a carpenter in
Hollywood for a brief period.
Ironically, one of the jobs he
worked on was bungalow ad-I
dition to the Beverly Hills Hotel.
Later he had the satisfaction of
living in this very same bunga-
low he had helped build.
