RECORDS
The case Of Ives

IN ARIES Edward Ives" as
the Columbia publicity re-
lease accurately puts it, SIS a
composer American musicians
like to talk about, but seldom
get to hear
For decades, perceptive critics
have commented on the top rank
of Ives among home grown COM
posers, but little was done about
it aside from occasional record
ings by private groups like the
New Music Quarterly and others
which obtained relatively slight
circulation.
Born in 1874, Ives waited un-
til last year to be recognized
Officially" Pultitzer Prize, al
though one of his major works
the Concord" Sonata-was
completed in 1915. Up until that
time he was getting the run
around, although Stravinsky and
Schoenberg rested on pedestals
for discoveries to which Ives
had beaten them by years.
Now-another Eat last"-we
have the Concord" Sonata on
records, performed by its leading
exponent, John Kirkpatrick, who
originally introduced it publicly.
It's not easy listening-these
tone sketches of Emerson, Haw-
thorne, Thoreau and the Alcotts
for Ives music is among the
most individual ever written, and
few comparisons can be made
and few musical memories evok-
ed by a listening to it. 1t has to
walk by itself.

ed organize the Duncan Paris
Legion post in New York. AS
result, the Legion invited him
to become national representa-
tive in charge of membership
promotion for New England, New
York, New Jersey, and Pennsyl-
vania. His work there led to his
promotion to the post of assistant
director of the Legion's national
Americanism commission, which
he held for a little more than
year.
The Inside Story Of the Le-
gion" is the record of what he
was shocked TO learn about the
Legion during that time.
His book is written in an easy
going, readable, personal style.
Well-documented, it never gets
begged down in ponderous edi-
torializing.
In this campaign year, with
the Legion breaking up wallace
meetings and otherwise fighting
the progressive forces, Gray's
expose should prove valuable to
Progressive Party workers.
The book suffers from the lack
of an index. II also fails to en-
phasize the dangerous storm
trooper attitude of many Legion
leaders toward the Progressive
Party. In fact, the new party
is mentioned only once in the
books 255 pages.
Gray, after his work with the
Legion, came to Chicago as edi-
tor of the weekly organ of the
United Electrical, Radio & Ma
chine Workers of America (CIO)
here. For the past few months
he has been publicity director
for the Progressive Party of

ONE of the major obstacles
" encountered by the Pro-
gressive Party in its petition
campaign downstate was the ac-
tive opposition of the American
Legion, which even used open
physical violence at times.
The hostility of the Legion
was not unexpected. Progressives
for years have considered the
nations largest veterans organi-
cation a powerful tool of the re-
dictionaries.
But not until Justin Gray
wrote his first book. The In

MOVIES:
Key Largo
Ohm HOUSTON, whom af-

flclanadoeS OF the blood
and-guts school of films will
fondly recall as the director of
the Maltese Falcon is back in
all his glory with an item adapted
from Maxwell Anderson's play,
key Largo
Houston is lad who knows
how to get every bit of Juice
out of this kind of story. He's
got the melodrama formula down
pat But. that alone isn't enough.
Hundreds of other guys have the
melodrama formula down pat
and still their stuff is no more
exciting than a Truman speech.
Houston's packs a wallop be-
cause it's really drama; it's about
people and the action evolves
from the character of the people
who parade across the screen.
That lends xealitY-in proportion
10 the reality of the characters
portraYed-and punch TO his
films.
Well, Houston hasn't failed his
fans in ''Key Largo" which in
cludes among others Humphrey
Bogart, Lauren Baca1l and the
old master, Edward G. Robinson.
The movie is set in a small
Florida fishing resort which has
been taken over by Robinson,
gangster in exile, and his bud
dies, who terrorize the inhabi-
tants of the town.
Among those who live in town
are Lionel Barrymore and his
daughter in law, Miss Bacall.
Who should come along but our
Bogey, who is a friend of the
Miss BIS late husband who died
in battle.
There you have all the in
gradients; the forces Of good and
evil are squarelY arraYed against
each other. Eventually. of course.
good is triumphant-whY. won
der. doesn't it ever triumph in
Congress. for instance.
Robinson, who seems to do it
automatically, does an exceed
ingly craftsman-like job as the
gang leader.
If you like violence and sus-
pense, neatly blended, Key
Largo" is your dish.
OUT of the same drawer is
another of this weeks entries,
The Street With No Name"
According to this, the F. B. I. de-
votes its time to duties other
than bounding honest progress
sives. 1t seems they also chase
crooks! Where do they get the
time?
Anyway, in this one our brave
boys are arrayed against the
