Norwegian Pianist
Gives Program at
Phillips Gallery
By Alice Eyersmon

The Norwegian pianist, Dagny
Solheim Nordbo, gave her audience
in the Phillips Gallery last night
rare treat by presenting works by
composers of her country with one
Dane. Carl Nielsen, added. Here
was the flavor of the music anthem
tically brought out by an artist Of
distinctive talent. Naturally the
works of Edward Grieg predominated
but the younger generation was rep
resented by the popular Harald
Saeverud.
1t has been said of Grieg that he
composed best when in the noun
tains and his lovely Evening in the
Mountains could we'll bear this out.
1t has delicacy and atmospheric
charm Of much finer calibre than
his gay dance music, "Prillar" and
"Halling." These latter, as also the
Wedding March" and 1.-THE We'd
ding March of the Hill Folk" are
richly of the people, the folk lore
and the fantasy that has sprung
up around 1t. Although a part of
the repertoire Of most pianists, they
require the sensitive feeling of a
performer like Mrs. Nordbo to IL
lustrate their essential qualities.
The pianist is especially schooled
in the art OF polyphony and by her
skilled use of it, the music becomes
especially declamatory. This was
notable particularly in the Pre-
Jude" from Grieg's THE Holberg
Suite" and in the Suite, op. As" of
his Danish contemporary, Carl Mel
sen. The latter is pianisticly bril-.
liant work although overly long for
the limited amount of themes used
His style is less mobile than that
of Grieg and also less colored by
sentiment or pictorization. But he
masses effects for the full exploita-
ton of the instruments possibilities
and through Mrs. Nordbo's splen-
didly devised phrasing, these are of
noteworthy proportions.
The artist has wide resources at
her command, given free expression
by an exceptionally even and spar
king finger technique. The more
modern note of Saeverud's 1.-TWO Ca
prices, op. /" require a greater I'M
Outstanding of their contrapuntal
character and again, her special
ability in analysis and the stressing
Of the high point of a phrase was
impressive. The program ended
with the same composers "Canto
Riyoltoso," dedicated to the Nor
wegian underground movement and
having something of the same STIR
ring quality of Sibelius' ''Finlandia::'
That he is equally adapt in smaller
forms was seen in his March
Dance of q Little Boy" charming
and gay number.
A "Minuet" by Karsten Solheim
may illucidate Mrs. Nordbos back
ground for he was not only a pro-
life composer but music critic for
As years and cantor at the Dom
Church in Bergen. Whether COM
ing from a family Of such well de-
veloped musicianship or not, Mrs
Nordbo is an accomplished pianist
with an easy and assured address
The reception given her was es-
pecially cordial.

Credit where credit is due. The
drum corps at Phyllis Wheatley
does by no means get the credit
due it. Wheatley is one Of the only
community houses which has a
drum corps. Look at the size Of
those little fellows and gaze also
at the size of the persons around
them. You can get a fairly good
idea Of what hard work and long
practice it must have taken, to
get those kids down so pat that
they know what's coming off.
Remember, be critical if you
wish when some one commands
you; but be not too critical when
told what's demanded of you.

BOY SCOUTS TO
BE HONORED
Boy Scout Week Will Be Ma
tiOn-Wide Observance
February 7-13
DEVELOPS CITIZENSHIP

The observance of Boy Scout
Week, Feb. 7th to 18th on a ma
tion-wide scale, says DR.. James E.
West, Chief Scout of the Boy
Scouts of America, has great value
to boys. Boy Scout Week, he says
emphasizes the romance and drama
of Scouting. In statement for
Boy Scout Week, marking the 37th
anniversary of the original incor-
poration at Washington, D. c., DR..
West who was Chief Scout Execu-
tive from 1911 to 1943, says:
Throughout the country Boy
Scouts and their parents and
friends are observing Boy Scout
Week. Sometimes I am asked be-
cause of my long association with
the Boy Scouts of America, start
ing in 1911, why Scout leaders
place so much emphasis on this
occasion. 81 always tell them that
we do it because of its great value
to boys. Very deliberately we de-
veloped the observance of this an
niversary to create dramatic op-
portunities for boys to take part
in a nation wide celebration. From
the start of Scouting we have con-
Quoted as a part of the program,
spectacular features which create
a desire on the part of boys to be
Scouts. In our annual observance
of Boy Scout Week we emphasize
the romance and drama of Scout
ing in way to impress boys and
attract them to the program. We
feel it desirable to do this annually
because new crop of boys of
Scout age comes up each year. A
new crop of boys does not absorb
the experience of those who went
before. We have to do it over and
over again. I believe that the
greatest responsibility that we as
leaders in Scouting have today, as
it has always been, is to think in
terms of creating and maintaining
an intense desire on the part of
boys to be Scouts. The techniques
of that are the techniques that we
use in our Boy Scout Week observ-
ances. This is important not OF
course for the sake of mere num-
bers, but because of what Scout
training means to the future cit
zens of America, because of the
way in which Scouting does help
boys to develop into men of char
acter, trained for citizenship"

ROAD BLOCKS SET UP

According to Chief of Police
John Jacobs, the rumor that two
Philadelphia bandits spent Satur-
day night in Smyrna hotel, or
that they stopped in Smyrna at all,
is completely unfounded. A search
of the registers of the Colonial
Hotel which accepts transient only
upon registration failed to reveal
that any two such men had stayed
in town overnight. However, State
Police said that David Almeira, 81
and James F. Smith, %, both ex-

and traced to Laurel, Md. Then,
they said, the men sped through
Hyattsville shortly after z Pm
outdistancing a county police car
which picked UP the trail Sunday

nection with the killing of police
