Unknown Soldier" of the day on a
caisson drawn by an armored car
The cortege crossed east to Fifth
avenue and north to Central Park
for the hour-long ceremony.
The procession included three di-
visions-military, the city's uni
formed forces and veterans organ
izations- had massed colors and
military bands. Detachments from
the Military and Naval Academies
the 82d Airborne Division, the Sd
Cavalry from Fort Meade, Md, and
other armed units preceded the
caisson.
Gen. Courtney H. Hodges, COM
manding general of the 1st Army
and grand marshal of the process
sion which marched in solemn ca
dence, placed a wreath of laurel
and palm at the Eternal Light.
Thousands lined the streets as
the cortege passed, and church bells
tolled. Men barred their heads.
Spellman Watches Procession.
Francis Cardinal Spellman and
other Roman Catholic dignitaries
stood on the steps of st. Patrick''s
Cathedral as the procession passed.
Some bands played, but for a
large part of the time there was
only the sound of muffled drums
and the marchers' feet. Mayor
ODwyer and other city officials
were in the procession.
An Army band played the dirge
"Dolore" as the pallbearers carried
the coffin up a ramp to a catafalque
at the sheep meadow. A 2l-shot
salute was fired by four howitzers
in a grove near the meadow. At
the end of the ceremonies the
caisson carried the casket back to
the transport with an escort of ar
mored cars.

By Alice Eversmon

The number of artists around
the age of 16 who give full recitals
in Constitution Hall are few indeed.
For this fact alone, since she can
claim no more years than that, the
appearance of the gifted Sylvia
Zaremba was notable event. What
she has accomplished in SO short a
span Is amazing and If the young
pianist does not have her name III
scribed among the finest exponents
of the instrument in a few years
time it will be still more astonishing.
She came as artist on the c. G..
Cappel series and Immediately
demonstrated her right to be
counted as such.
She has a. prodigious technique
and an already mature musical
feeling. Her fingers and wrists are
strong as steel which permits Of
sonorous volume when necessary, yet
she can coax from the instrument
soft and poetic sounds. When
velocity is required, there Is released
a brilliant show of speed that main
tains always an immaculate accur-
acy. She is bountifully endowed
with talent and far advanced in all
the mechanical matters that belong
to the exposition of such program
as she presented last night.
It consisted of the Bach -Busoni
organ Toccata In G Major" Schu-
mann's. 'Etudes Symphoniques," !"
Chopin's "Ballade In G Minor, op.

Displays Amazing Artistry

%" and the Etudes from opus 70
No. Z in G sharp minor and No. II
in A minor, Ravel's "Payane" and
"Alborada del gracioso," Kabalev-
'sky's "Sonatine in G major, op. 81,
No. /" and Balakirew's "Islamey."
In all of these, her playing was
fluent, meticulous in phrasing and
clear r-cut. What was wanting was
more power OF projection and more
abandonment to the charm Of the
music itself. Both Of these things
can hardly be expected to appear
at her age in her performance and
in this will lie the blossoming out of
a deeper and more personal concept
as the next step in her development.
Nearly all of the numbers reflect
ed this need to some degree. The
exact quality of the sorority she
brought to the Bach "Toccata"
could not be properly gagged as the
piano top had not been opened, but
in her reading of the three sections,
there was nobility of line and the
voices in the fugue were clearly de-
fined in their relationship. The
same knowledge of her art was
present in the Schumann work and
Evening star., 1947-11-08

In the the Chopin group but here
her limitations as to interesting
color variety, to contrasts Of spirit
and to interpretive subtleties were
apparent.
Where fleet and dashing effects
were demanded in these numbers,
and In Ravel's "Alborada del graci-
oso" especially, her technical dis
patch was Of the highest order. It is
not that Miss Zarenfba is not mu-
sically sensitive to the poetry and
shadings of the music she played,
for she stressed them with refine
ment and care, but the singing
freedom that would have sent them
forth sparkling is not yet part Of
her equipment. Ravel's "Pavane"
was as beautifully designed as could
be desired but the fine, delicate flow
Of it was restrained.
Kabelevsky's "sonatine" was one
of the most attractive ofsthe pro-
grams list in the lightness and
residence Of her tone and in the
sympathy of her feeling for it. At
the same time, it was in the Bach,
Schumann and Chopin, where both
technical and musical problems are
more serious, that her fund of talent
and its future possibilities were most
