no one bargained for.
1t came out that Miss Bergman
was able to add this to her other
chores in the picture after the COM
pany was all ready to dub in another

was made were those in which Joan

English Duo Gives
Recital in Social
Chamber Music
By EIeno de Soyn

The Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge
Foundation sponsored the appear
ance of Viola Morris, soprano, and
Victoria Anderson, contralto, spe-
cialists in vocal chamber music,
known as the English duo. The re-
cital was given last night in the
Library of Congress and differed
from others insofar as the singers
made point of arranging the COM
positions on their program in a
chronological order from the 17th
century down to the present day.
Counting in the encores, they sang
twice as many English songs as of
those from other countries, max
ing known about a dozen of unusual
and representative numbers of the
English school.
Composers featured were: Henry
Purcell, John Attey, the last to write
for the lutte; Frederic Austin and
Frederick Keel, either Of whom was
famous as a singer and a composer; !;
Hubert Parry, considerede to be the
equal Of Purcell and Elgar; Healey
william, at present organist and
teacher in Canada; Martin Shaw
and Vaughan Williams. Germany
was represented by Heinrich Schuetz,
father of German music" Schu-
bert, Schumann and Brahms; France
by Couperin, Duparc and Cesar
Franck, the latter French by adop-
ton; Italy by Monteverdi, Bene-
detto Marcello and Bononcini; the
United States by Kentuckian
folksong, given as an encore.
Together the singers presented
three groups of songs, the last, list
ing settings of texts from Shake
speare's "Cymbeline," "a Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" and Twelfth
Night" The artists displayed indi-
viduany and in ensemble rich, we'll
schooled voices which could fill easily
a hall many times the size OF the
Coolidge auditorium.
Among the most appealing selec-
tions were Couperin's "Musette-Air
Serieux," Franck's dramatic LES
Danses de Lormont" in duet form,
The Queens Maries" a Scottish
air arrangement by Michael Diak,
sung by Miss Anderson; Duparc's
'L1nvitation au Voyage" and Chan
son Triste," given by Miss Morris.
Supported by Lindsay Lafford at
the piano, the artists met with an
enthusiastic response from the au-
dience and enjoyed well-deserved
success.

The cutting. girdling and polish
ing of diamonds, described in an
article appearing in this section
earlier this week. is the work OF
highly skilled craftsmen.
Matching the craftsmen in skill
are the buyers of precious stones
who, through years of experience
acquire the ability to differentiate
between the best, the average and
the mediocre while the stone is still
in itSsfude and natural state.
ICisn't every one who can obtain
admission to the sales of rough dia-
monds. In fact, the British-owned
syndicate which dominates the in
dustry usually permits only repre-
sentatives of established firms to
be present at the showing of the
unfinished gems. These showings
or sales are held only infrequently
during the course of year and the
presence of retail buyer is about
as likely as that of a man in a
beauty parlor.
The buyers who are present are
able to determine almost certainly
how the rough stone will cut. They
can detect flaws. They can visual
izet the appearance of the stone after
the craftsman has cut and polished
it until all its sparkling beauty il
developed.

jewelry business, Arthur j. Sundlun

More About Diamonds
BY Elem

He knows that the dealer will be at
the same location and he knows
that every effort will be made to
right the wrong and maintain the
good name of the firm.
This is not always the case,
unfortunately, where the dealer is
unknown to the purchaser and where
the deal is made in type of market
where no really permanent estab-
lishments are encountered.
I'm certain types of market places
dealers trading back and forth
among themselves are skilled in
appraising the gems they handle but
an unskilled retail purchaser ventur-
ing into such a market would be con-
siderably at the mercy of an I'M
scrupulous trader who might later
on be difficult to find.
while at times it may be thought
that there is a considerable spread
between the cost of a diamond in
the rough and the same stone when
Incorporated in ring, it should be
borne in mind that there are many
steps between the rough diamond
and the sparkling gem. There is
considerable loss not only in the re-
duction in the size of the diamond
during the cutting process but in the
unforeseen splitting which may re-
quire the broken parts to be pro-
ceSsed into a number of small dia-
monds instead of one large one. A
fve-carat diamond is worth a lot
more than five carats in diamonds
of one-cagat size"
In my article which appeared list
Tuesday, attempted to cover all
three phases of the jewelry business
at one time. Obviously this was
difficult in the limited space avail
able and there may have been some
confusion. 1t must be remembered
that there are really thee distinct
businesses, the cutting and polish
ing of diamonds, the wholesale deal
ers and finally the retailers who
serve you as individuals.
