MezzanOtte Gives
Enjoyable Recital in
Constitution Hall
By Elena de Soyn

To give recital in Constitution
Hall is the ambition of many
young artist. It is also a severe test
which Matthew Mezzanotte, resi-
dent violinist. who appeared there
last night withstood with ease. The
event was given for the benefit of
the Speech Clinic Foundation.
Mr.. Mezzanotte made his profess
sional debut in the Lisner Auditor
ium few years ago. He has ma
tured since then and other public
appearances enabled him to gain
confidence in his powers. His best
asset is an expressive, Sonorous tone
and a heart warming temperament
which seems to reflect the skies of
Italy, the land of his forbearers. In
addition he already possesses a
technique adequate to the require
ments Of the music performed and
talent for phrasing. This, together
with a wise choice Of an unhack-
neyed program, provided for an en-
joyable evening.
An unfamiliar Concerto in D
minor" by Tartini opened the re-
cital. The composers high degree
of culture and his interest in the
noblest forms of art are reflected in
the refinement of his music. The
greatest violinist of his time. he
wrote for the instrument with a
knowledge which exceeded by far
that of his contemporaries. Mr..
Mezzanotte played the concerto with
feeling and an understanding of the
style. His collaboration at the piano
was DR. Frederick Fall, who in the
introduction to the concerto showed
himself as a sensitive musician and
an excellent accompanist.
With the exception Of Wieniawski's
"Polonaise in D major use0 as a
closing number and favored by vio-
linists for its snowy and brilliant
character, some selections were
virtually unknown. They were An
dante and Allegretto" from Khat-
chaturian's Violin concerto Alba
Rosa Vietor's "Canzonetta" and
Goddard's Concerto Romantique"
tn; first two being heard here for
the first time. While there was not
much difference in tempt between
the "Andante and Allegretto," the
cantabile quality of the music proved
suitable to the chosen medium and
lent distinction to the program by
its oriental touch.
Nine. Vietor's ingratiating Can
zonetta' could have been easily en-
cored A resident Of this city and a
distinguished violinist, the composer
had not a small share in Mr.. Mez-
zanotte's success, for she has been
his Instructor for several years. God
dard's concerto, popular abroad but
little known here, with the excep-
ton Of the "Canzonetta" movement
often played by Erica Morini, is ar
effective number which should be
heard more often. In this, and in
the Korngold suite, Much Ado
About Nothing" which had beer
played here by Emmanuel Zetlin ir
Its entirety, but programmed by Mr.
Mezzanotte, last night, as first

credit to the excellent training hi
enjoyed.

Forty-two faculty members of the Juneau schools assembled this morning for their first meeting of the l948-49 schools year, in the high school study hall
 Superintendent of School Edwin Clark, in making his opening re- marks to the group. called atten- ton to the change in organization of the Juneau schools which has taken place during the past few months. Continuing. he told the teachers that he felt that Juneau had a right to feel proud of its schools on the basis of their past performance and that he felt they should continue to maintain the high standard for which the schools have been known.
 Clark stated that the good dis cipline which has always character ized these schools was the result of two things-fair treatment and thorough planning on the part of the teachers. The Superintendent added that if there were to be a keynote for this year. he would chose that it be Know Your Pu- pills"
 Clark asked the teachers to study the personal characteristics of each child in their classes and not to devote their time exclusively to those who might be outstand- ing, and also to study the quiet child.
 Following the Superintendent! meeting, the teachers adjourned tt meetings with the two principals Following these meetings, thu teachers began preparation in thei own rooms for the opening o school next Tuesday morning.

 Gilmore asked for continuance of the season until September 8 in Sumner Straits, Clarence Straits, Southern District and South Prince of Wales District.
 Thompson assured Gilmore the index of the fish catch from traps was merely an index and consid- cred in connection with other fac tors, including weather, in reach ! ing conclusions regarding the fish run.

Burns Mantle

Loving show business" and playing his
own particular role in it for more than
half century, Burns Mantle was a happy
man. He looked upon the theater as a
temple of sort and his approach to a
dramatic production was reverent. Other
critics developed the habit of watching
his reactions-and being guided by them.
They could tell by what they saw in his
face what variety of review he would
write He wore no mask.
That is another way of saying that Mr.
Mantle was not personally thespian.
His service to the stage really was rendered
in the character of an annalist He
chronicled the passing scene of Broadway
and Hollywood was the top historian of
the American world of make believe But
he also was analytical and interpretive in
his work He told not merely what hap
pened but how and why; and it was in
this aspect of his career that he won his
most enduring laurels. The annual VOL
umes of "Best Plays" which he edited from
1919 onward are not simply anthologies
of scripts. Rather they are expostions of
the prevailing ideas of the age as those
ideas found expression in the drama. Mr..
Mantle searched his material for values
humane and helpful and when he found
gold he announced it with enthusiasm
Curiously, his own private life was a
dramatic achievement He started as a
linotype operator on the Denver Post and
became a critic by accident, "subbing"
for professional His NeN York period

last summer. Representative Deane OF
North Carolina noted the disposition OF
witnesses to oppose any change that
affects my own board" or my own organ
ization" That is true of any reorganiza-
ton proposal. But it is the committees
task to distinguish between opposition
based on mere self-interest and that which
reflects thought and experience. That task
would be simplified by seeking the mini
mum of change in the beginning. For, as
involved as our local government structure
may be, it represents an evolutionary
process of many years, not easily upset
overnight Any number of the changes
proposed are radical enough to justify
much more consideration than they can

trio approach to the problem of the sex Of
fender and the enophasis by the psychiatrist
on treatment, it is proper to ask how effective
are psychiatric methods in aiding these af-
fiicted persons to find sexual qualification
through accepted channels Virtually all
psychiatrists agree that 1t is possible to effect
cures. From their viewpoint, the problem for
the most part is to get these criminal sexual
psychopaths to recognize their disability, to
make them realize that their activities are
abhorrent to society so that cure may be
effected.
In terms Of the effectiveness Of attempts to
cure these offenders, estimates will vary. Dr..
Karpman estimates that rs per cent Of those
he has treated have been cured. Other
psychiatrists offer a much lower figure as to
what they consider the average success will be-
Most promising, however, in terms Of the
curative ability of psychiatrists, have been the
results published by a New York group. A
team of psychiatrists sponsored by the New
York Quaker Emergency Service worked with
400 cases in every age group in the first year
of their project recently completed. OF this
large number, their report states. there were
only six failures, or rehabilitation rate Of
988 Per cent. 1t is, of course, too early to de-
termine the permanency of the cure, but the
results of this organized effort, as far as they

volying even the President of the United States
himself, is one of the most ghastly indictments
of the Government that I ever have seem
The most shabby part OF the whole thlng Is
that Mr. Hull sees no evil in withholding this
sort of information from the public. It GER

We all look with admiration upon some one

Never Turkish Republic Capital

To the Editor OF The Star:
Seemingly the memoirs Of Cordell Hull, now
appearing in The Star, are digests OF his forth
coming book Otherwise there Is no explanation
for the error or omission in the instalment
in The Star, January 27, in which the following
appears: AFTER Turkey moved her capital from
Istanbul to Ankara, got this penned note
from him: C. H.: Why shouldn't we move our
Embassy from Istanbul to Ankara? Every ones
doin 1t. F. D. r.
The facts are that Istanbul-not Stamboul-
never had been the capital of the Turkish
republic. More than decade prior to Mr..
Hulls tenure as Secretary Of State a small
group of Turkish patriots known as National
lists established their headquarters at Ankara.
Much to the surprise and dismay of the Allied
Powers (the United States had not been
at war with Turkey that group grew by leaps
and bounds. In February, 1922, the Nationalist
accepted Robert Whitney Imbrie as a repre-
sentative of the Department Of State to deal
directly with the department in matters peril
nent to the amity of both countries. Houses
were few and far between; the prime minister
was ensconced in the railroad station while
the chief of staff of the army had residence
and Offices in the freight depot; railroad car
was moored on a siding in the depot yard
and in it Imbrie established the first chancery
of the United States at Ankara, Turkey.
If history must be written, 1t should be In
