Don Cossack Chorus Received
Warmly at Constitution Hall
By Elena de Soyn

The reception accorded the Don
Cossack Male Chorus yesterday
afternoon In Constitution Hall,
seemed to be especially cordial and
in keeping with the spirit OF the
25th jubilee which the organiza-
ton is celebrating this year. Extra
recalls Of Serge Jarof, the Nconduc-
| tor, after each selection and during
| the intermissions, were only small
manifestations Of appreciation as
compared with the rapt attention
given each number.
The religious part of the program
was never more beautifully sung.
The rich sorority of the basses,
blending with the full throated ex-
|pressiveness of the middle voices and
supplemented by subdued effects Of
falsetto tones, gave good idea Of
the type of devotional singing fos-
tered by the Russian Ortho odox
Church. It was a feat Of skillful
conducting on Mr.. Jaroff's part in
creating the illusion of great Ca
thedral choir, Of many men and
boys. by drawing such inspired sing
ing from only 26 sturdy chests.
It is the reverence which the Cos
sacks put into their Interpretation
of such music that makes them diff
ferent from many other organiza-
tions and places them into class
by themselves. In the Is years of
concertizing, which took them all
over Europe, America, Australia and
Africa, the group has done more to
acquaint the world with Russian re-
ligious worship which once Termed
the integral part of state and COM
munal life.
The first part of the program was
given over to several compositions
| in which the chanting of the dea-
con preceded or dominated the choir.
To these belonged the traditional
Lords Prayer" Of Moscow,s famous
Ouspensky Cathedral, and Gret-
chaninoff's Augmented Litany," !"
unusual for the opportunity given
a solo voice, to be heard above the
choir. Bortniansky's "Who Can
Equal Thee" q concerto for two
choirs revised by Mr.. Jaroff, as the
opening number, brought the Christ
mas spirit Of old Russia, where it
was performed only on great holi-
days. Lvovsky's familiar Lord
Have Mercy on Us" and Turchanin-
offs LET All Mortal Flesh" COM
pleted the devotional section of the
afternoon.
The only departure yesterday
from the~program plan followed by
the organization during its II an
nual appearances here, was the
special number by Shvedoff, COM
posed "To the Twenty-fifth Ami
versary =, of Jaroff's Don Cossack
Chorus" In this singing narrator
relates in English how the Cossacks
fled their native land and found a
new homeland in the United States.
The music is a medley, consisting
Of a traditional Cossack song, COM
Evening star., 1947-01-06

bined with four American soldier
songs. Adding half a dozen Russian
folk and Cossack tunes, the group
concluded with its usual exhibition
OF Russia's national dancing, per-
forming stunts Of agility and arous-
ing the audience to pitch Of en-
thusiasm.
Louise Behrend at Phillips.
In the Phillips Gallery, Louise
Befrend. violinist, with Eugene Hell
mer at the piano, combined old and
new In her appearance yesterday
afternoon. She Is well remembered
as progressive musician who made
a practice Of presenting here an
nually several sonatas played from
memory. Her growth IN confidence
and style have been marked from
year to year, her yesterdays ap-
pearance not excepted.
Opening with Purcells Sonata in
G Minor" followed by Schumann's
.Four Pieces in Popular Mood, op.
I02," the violinist essayed Bach's
Sonata in G Major for rmaccom-
panied violin. In selecting this less
familiar work, rather Stunned even
lby virtuosi, Miss Behrend seems to
have overestimated, somewhat, her
capacity for doing the work full JUS
tice.
While the sonata is noted for the
beauty and nobility of its "Adagio"
and of the Largo" its lengthy.
"Fugue" in spite Of much valuable
material for homework, was hardly
meant for public consumption even
| in exceptional cases. The singing
quality OF Miss Behrend's tone and
lher generally good intonation in
such numbers as Prokofieff's "Five
Melodies, op. IS Bis" Shostakovich-
Tziganow 1.-TWO Preludes, op. "a,
Nos. Is and "a" and Ravel's "Kad-
disch" were often impaired by awk-
ward chord combinations and lack
of repose. The recital was concluded
by Ravel's "Tzigane."
Sinfonietta Plays Bach.
Devoting the evening to music by
Bach and Mozart, the National Gal
|lery Sinfonietta, Richard Bales con-
Quoting, gave an enjoyable perform
ance of Bach's "Suite No. 3 In D
Major" with it's famous "Air," made
popular by violinists, and Mozart's
Symphony No. 20, A Major, K. 201." ;"
The soloist of the evening, Jan
Tomasow, played Bach's effective
violin Concerto No. l, A Minor"
and Mozart's Concerto No. 4, D
Major, K. 218" with authority and
an ingratiating tone.

WhyGrow

By Josephine Lowman

A recent letter from a reader says,
II would like to pass along to other
readers an exercise which has done
so much for me. 1t is SO simple and
easy to do, and with this one exercise
I took inches off my hips. I lie on my
back with my arms resting on the
floor at my sides. bend my knees
up close to my stomach and roll
from side to side, slapping my thighs
on the floor on each side
This is good exercise and have
already given it in my column. Not
only is it reducing to the hips and
thighs but it gives the waist a
good twist If you win keep hands on
the floor as you roll, arms should
extend out from shoulders. give
this in class with several variations.
For instance, If your weight is low
on your hips and Is in your thighs,
you should bend your knees and
place your feet on the floor instead
Of bending knees close to your stom-
ach with your feet OH the floor.
Raise your heels but keep your toes
on the floor as you roll your hips
from side to side. If your weight Is
higher up you should do the exer-
else as my reader suggests.
The following exercise is one Of
the very best for a large. back hip
line: Sit on the floor with your legs
stretched out on the floor in front
Of you. Lean back until your body
weight is directly over the largest
part of your hips. Lift your legs,
keeping the knees straight, as you
roll from side to side. Catch your
self with your hands on each side.
II you viii turn your feet and legs
in the direction toward which you
are rolling you viii find that it adds
much impetus to your roll. had

Becouse spring is the
time Of the year when we'd
ding marches are heord most
frequently-the foshion
press all over the country
gets on its toes for those
girls who ore pIonning to
march down the oisle. And,
because brides usually are
the prettiest people we know,
we've tried to get the very
latest information on the
trousseou lingerie to help
make them even prettier!
We needed some advice so
we called on Hazel Shoffer,
who has had much exper-
ienee in helping brides plan
their lingerie trousseous.
She soys thot too many
brides buy with "eye appeal"
foremost. Thot's important,
but q complete lingerie
trousseou should provide for
all occasions. There is q
school of thought which says
that all bridal lingerie should
be bought in one color.
Miss Shoffer thinks that
isn't so wise. For one thing,
the monotony of the same
color would tire you. She
likes the ideo Of q complete
trousseou thot has q variety
of fobric, style and color.
There should be, Of course,
coordination in the pur-
chase Of lingerie sets. Peie-

Well, the fiesta is overland what

one of the best the twin cities have
ever had. I want to thank the
cowboys for bringing in their horses
for the parade I think they made
a pretty good showing. EDITORS
NOTE: Dam" good-like those
saddles)
After the parade we all went out
to Mike Knagge's rodeo arena for
a little roping. We had a good
crowd and lots of cowboys. This
arena is one of the few in this part
of the country where the cars can
park under shade trees.
Last Sunday was one of my lucky
DAYS. I won the first money in the
first jackpot calf roping with a 1863.
Mike Megariz was second with 18.1,
and Jim Garrett third with 1910.
In the second go-round was
lucky again. T had an Is flat for
first. Lee Farrell was second with

with 271.
