Corcoran Announces
Its 10th Biennial

The. Corcoran Gallery OF Art to
the majority of Washingtonians Is
almost synonymous with the name
of C. Powell Minnigerode, its direc-
tor for more than 81 years, and a
member of its staff over half a
century. His resignation, announced
recently, was a surprise to many OF
his friends. But it is deeply graft
flying that his acceptance OF the
newly created post Of director
emeritus will keep him actively in
volved in the art world, where his
long experience will continue to be
of incalculable value.
Hermann w. Williams, jr., takes
over the position of director under
the most auspicious circumstances.
Appointed assistant director of the
Corcoran Gallery nearly year ago,
he came with an impressive record
of previous achievement in art
fields and has been working closely
with Mr.. Minnigerode. He has the
good will of all who have met him.
The Corcoran Gallery announced
that its goth biennial exhibition OF
contemporary American oil paintings
will be held from March 80 to May
IL. Important from the standpoint
of artists throughout the country,
this show will be an "open" exhibit
ton. Because of transportation
difficulties, the two war biennials
were strictly limited as to sub
missions.
Furthermore, the jury will not be
circumscribed as to the number OF
pictures it may accept. Every ac-
cepted work will be shown. The
exhibition is limited to original oil
paintings not previously exhibited
publicly in Washington by living
American artists.
Henry Varnum Poor is chairman
of the jury invited by the gallery to
pass on paintings offered for the
biennial, to supervise the installa-
ton and to make the w. A. Clark
prize awards. Other members are
Richard Lahey, principal of the
Corcoran School of Art, and Julian
E. Levi. They will be assisted by
Louis Bosa and Harold Weston.
Mr.. Williams will serve as an ex
officio jury member, except in the
awarding of the four prizes, which
total $4,000. A popular prize of 5000
will be awarded by vote OF visitors
dusing the last week OF April. y
The prospectus, with full informa-
ton, can be obtained from the Cor
coran Gallery. February II is the
last day for receipt of entry cards.

Changed Form
Adds Interest
To Concert
By Alice Eversmon

In his recent recital in Constitu-
ton Hall, Jascha Heifetz startled
the audience by beginning his pro-
gram with modern, fast-moving
composition. This was contrary to
all the rules of program making,
which advocates a sedate classic or
a set of classics as an introduction
to every recital by instrumentalists
or singers. The plan of arranging
the numbers has been in use for
decades and has become tradi-
ton, but there is no reason why
artists could not be as enterprising
as Heifetz and play whatever they
pleased. The audience, in place of
being bewildered, was frankly de-
lighted with the change.
Possibly the idea has been to
work into the main features of a
program gradually. Artist and au-
dience had to be warmed up" and
both arrived at this point by care
full steps in which technical de-
mands grew and the content of the
music became more complex. After
the audience has been given the
piece de resistance, it is rewarded,
and the artist can relax somewhat,
with group of light, entertaining,
short numbers. If Bach, Scarlatti
or Mozart ever served to close a
program in one of their lengthier
and more pretentious works, it was
done so long ago that no one re-
members it.
Music Dosage Reduced.
Program making has undergone a
revisal since the days when Bee
thoven included four Of his SYM
phonies in one concert. In those
days, and earlier, from four to six
hours for a concert was nothing to
complain about. Today, a recital
or orchestral program that last two
and half hours is a rarity and
the ordinary run is not over two
hours. In the grand old days, when
the public liked music in large doses,
there were no unions to limit the
performance period.
At the same time, the service
given to tradition is sometimes over
done. There is no reason to follow
precepts simply because an esteemed
parsonage established them. Often
it is mere chance that creates a ira
dition and reverence that continues
it. It seldom has flrmer basis
than that and a new tradition can
be started just as reasonably. A
few authentic instances can be
found, it is true, and these are to
be respected for their origin but a
little more independence of thought
might add considerably more zest to
concerts for both audience and
artist.
Order Needs Revision.
Heifetz proved it on his last visit
and Artur Rubinstein's success was
not impaired by his practice in diff
ferent cities of playing what he felt
like, without announcing program
in advance. The whole art of con-
cert giving needs overhauling for it
has become so stereotyped in char
acter as to leave nothing to be an
ticipated. If artists broke away
from the old form they would have
the time to present a greater num-
ber of unfamiliar works, thus
broadening knowledge, and the au-
d4ence would be on its toes from
the first moment to enjoy them. 1t
would not be necessary to wait for
the most interesting work on pro-
gram until the old form and the old
masters have had their due. The
great classicists fit into any portion
of an artist recital.

Kodaly to Direct

zoltan Kodaly, famous Hungarian
composer, will direct his "Missa
Brevis'' in the Covenant-First Pres
byterian Church tonight at $50.
This will be the first performance
of his work, still in manuscript form,
sung by the Chancel Choir, with
Theodore Schaefer, the minister of
music Of the church, at the organ.
The soloists are Faith Swank, con-
tralto; George Barritt, tenor, and
Harold Ronk, baritone. Sections al
lotted to three treble voices will be
sung by Julie Curtis and Evelyn
Meyer, sopranos, and Rachel Koer-
ner, mezZo-soprano.
An active underground worker
during the war, who openly opposed
the Nazis, Mr.. Kodaly is here on a
short visit, during which he ap-
peared in New York. Philadelphia,
Dallas and Pittsburgh. He believes
that now is the time to lay ground
work for the possible renaissance of
music, which has to speak to the
multitude of the people and not to
the learned minority.

National Museum Shows
Iimbach Lithographs

The division OF graphic arts OF the
National Museum Is showing this
month one of the best exhibitions
it has had in the past year-litho-
graphs by Russell T. Limbach OF
Middletown, Conn. They are on
view in the Smithsonian Building
through next Sunday.
Mr.. Limbach is an experienced ar
tist who has been exhibiting since
the early 1920s. He has received IA
awards in nthography in the last
two decades, and is represented IN
the permanent collections of 16 mu-
seums. There is nothing surprising
about these honorS after one has
studied his excellent prints in black
and white and colors. One only
wonders how he has time to accom-
plish so much, since he teaches in
the art laboratory of Wesleyan Uni
versity, Middletown.
He was born in Massillon, Ohio, In
1904, studied at the Cleveland School
of Art and in Paris and Vienna. He
is a painter, illustrator and car
toonist as well as a printmaker. A
few years ago he wrote and illustrat-
ed book, american Trees" sub
ject which particularly interests
him.
Many of the 30 Autographs in the
present exhibition depict trees OF
different kinds, ages and conditions.
Mr.. Limbach seems to have tender
spot for old trees, with dead limbs
stark against the sky, but still put
ting forth leaves from newer
branches. Possibly he regards these
trees as symbolic of courageous peo-
pie, who continue to fight despite
Encouragement and defeat.
The Autographs reveal a high level
of technical mastery. A large pro-
portion of them are in colors, the
result of considerable experiment
by Mr.. Limbach. Among the out
standing items in color are Winter
Storm" Grow Tree" Central
Park" Winter" Birch Hill" and
a portrait of clown. Some OF his
black and white prints have the
variety of an additional gray ink.

Solo at Phillips Memorial
Mary Watkins is an artist with
ideas, as one can see from the ex-
hibition of nearly 80 of her paint
ings on view at the Phillips Me-.
mortal Gallery through next Fri
day. She has endeavored to give
form to such intangibles as COM
placency, avarice and intolerance,
indecision,and exuberance. Each OBJ
server will have to decide for him
self whether her semiabstract fig
ures and settings conjure up the
respective qualities and moods.
In my opinion, Mrs. Watkins is at
her best in such paintings as mis-
chief in the Meadow" lent by Amer
ican University from the collection
established as memorial to her
husband, the late C. Law Watkins.
The composition of clouds, horses
and landscape, and the good color
spotting, make this an outstanding
work. Two fresh little flower studies
in antique oval frames, tinted a
light cream, vegetable Dinner" a
still life owned by the Phillips Gal
lery, and the angular Fighting
Cocks" are others which impressed
me favorably.

Two of the chief stumbling
clocks toward dairy industry ex-
pansion is a lack of trained men
to handle certain specialized
tasks and a definite need for
more research to point the way
toward higher production at a
reduced cost per unit of output.
A strong band of North Caro-
llnlans have set themselves the
job OF clearing that brace of OBJ
stacles in order to give Tar
Heels more than just enough
milk to set their breakfast cere-
ais.
The States dairy industry now
is handling an annual business
volume of approximately $685.
900, 900, but there is plenty of
room for growth. And more
diaries and processing plants
are making their debut almost
every week.
Focal point for dairy progress
is at N. c. State college, center
Of farm research and dairy
training in Tar Heelia.
Around $780, 900 already has
been invested in new dairy lab
oratory equipment at State and
an additional sum of approx
mately 500, 900 will be spent
within the next two years for
more facilities, including barns,
fences, livestock, and machin-
cry.
The varied types of training,
relating to the dairy science
field, includes the regular four
year curricula, the graduate
training program, and intensive
short courses fashioned to train
men in the practical aspects of
dairy work. Last year 201 men
were enrolled in three different
snort courses.
The Students, some of whom
had never visited a college
campus until State college be-
gan its short courses, came
from many sections of the State
and were, according to college
officials, more interested in the
training given than scores OF
regular college men.
Short courses were conducted
in dairy production, frozen food
locker. work, dairy manufacture
ing, ice cream making, and
market milk. In addition, there
were special courses for dairy
herd supervisors and for dairy
field men.
Forward = looking farmers,
dairymen, farm educators, and
scientists long have felt that
these periods of intensive in
struction for farm workers are
one of the chief needs of mod
ern agricultural education. Re-
suits Of the first courses empha-
size the value of the work.
