To Be So1oist
This Afternoon
By Alice Eversmon

This afternoon, Maryla Jonas,
Polish pianist, whose debut in New
York last winter provided one Of the
rare sensations Of many seasons, will
give q recital In Constitution Hall.
AS soon as her reputation was firmly
established in second concert,
Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey signed her
for an appearance In Washington.
Mime. Jonas came unheralded to
New York and played her first con-
cert before small audience. But the
news of her virtuosity spread and
her second program was heard by a
packed house of eager musicians.
The story Of her terrible expert
ence during the war, of her rediS-
covery in Rio, de Janeiro by Artur
Rubinstein and of how he tricked
her into playing again, the en-
couragement she received from i'm
presarios so that tour was ar
ranged, is now public knowledge.
That is how the American public
knows of her, but she was already
one of Poland's great artists when
the war broke. She had the indorse-
ment of Paderewski, who, although
Premier of Poland at the time, took
her as his pupil. She won the
Chopin prize in 1882 and the Bee
thoven prize a year later.
She was concertizing successfully
when Poland was invaded. Her dis
tinguished criminologist husband,
her father. mother and two brothers
were killed by the Nazis. After
dreadful hardships, she made her
way to married sister in Brazil.
There, i'll in body and sick In spirit,
she refused to touch piano. 1t
was the sympathy and understand
ing of Rubinstein who awakened her
interest and started her on a fresh
career which began in most auspi-
cious manner.

of sales from recent exhi-
billions are reported by the direc-
tor, Alonzo j. Alden. The present
show, which will continue through
February, comprises IS paintings by
as many artists. They are varied IN
subject matter and approach, in
keeping with Mr.. Aden's objective
of providing pictures to suit many
tastes.
Occupying a place of honor is an
approximately life-size portrait OF
Mr.. Adens mother, Naomi Barnett
Alden, recently painted by Laura
Wheeler Waring. 1t is an admirable
work, close likeness and q
thoughtful characterization. This
and few other paintings IN the
exhibition, belong to the Alden GAL
iery. Several exhibits are loans from
the American Federation Of Arts.

man Maril's economical paintings
are nearly always subdued in color
and reserved in statement. yet some

permanent appeal. Paul Arts
Mexican Scene" is another work
in between extremes.
I cannot imagine any home owner
wanting such paintings as David
Burliuks New York Scene heavy
in form and muddy in color. But
apparently Mr.. Alden has different
opinion, for he has a number OF
works in the current exhibition that
appear equally undesirable as home
decorations for one reason or an
other.
