Irving Klein Gives
|CellOCOncert at
Phillips Gallery
By Elena de Soyn

It was not until Irving Klein, cell
ist, had played Veracinis Sonata in
D minor" yesterday afternoon in his
recital in the Phillips Gallery, that
one could Judge the extent OF his
possibilities. In fact, for best effect,
he should have begun his recital
with this number.
The absence of leadership and his
perfunctionary performance of Shos-
takovich's Sonata" which pre-
ceeded it, gave rise to all sorts Of
speculation. His tone was good and
so was his intonation. He knew his
notes and was mindful of nuance.
But with all this his music was mega
tive to an unnatural point. It was
as if both he and his accompanist,
David Garvey, stood in awe before
the composer, or was 1t only in front
of a poorly edited score which both
minutely followed? So much for
Shostakovich.
It was quite different with Vera
cini's sonata. The cellist's hereto
fore mezza-voce tone took on a new
ring. His Interpretation was that
OF an artist. His playing was ami
mated from within and thoroughly
enjoyable. 1t proved that Mr.. Klein
has at least one number in his rep
ertoire which can serve him as a
model of how to develop himself
artistically. Observation-Disclosures
Chant Hebraique," Karjinsky's S
"Jazz," Blooms Lament" in its
first performance here, with the titles
indicating a variety of styles and
character, were polished tonally and
technically only. To further his am
bition as a soloist, with all the pre-
liminary work toward 1t behind him,
Mr.. Klein should not miss oppor-
tunities to concentrate on develop
ing more broadly the real talent he
possesses.
Olefsky Plays at National Gallery.
Another cello recital given in the
National Gallery of Art at night
introduced to Washington Paul
Olefsky, the youngest member of
the Philadelphia Orchestra. The
young virtuoso, accompanied by
Eileen Flissler at the piano, gave
an exhibition of his technique and
musicianship in a program which
included such major works as
Hindemith's Concerto" and
Brahms Sonata No. in E minor
op. 49,"
Endowed with prodigeous
technique, a powerful, sonorous
tone and a sensitive nature, Mr..
Olefsky was fortunate to have
been allowed to mature artistically
in surroundings where he comes
in contact continually with the
highest musical ideals and the
greatest artists. This has left an
indelable mark upon him and
fitted him properly for an artistic
career. Although young in years
he met the challenge of Hinde-
mith's difficult concerto as vet
eran and probed the depth OF
Brahms sonata with an emotional
insight beyond his years. Eileen
Flissler proved herself an efficient
and sympathetic partner.

entire program was tnspectacular
as far as thunder and lightning

were other elements of more re-

The selections were signally un-

on an outstanding series. The pro-

Durant High Wins
First Football Game,
With West, 24.7
First Come Of Season
For Tigers; Was End
Come Played By West

The Durant High School Tigers
chalked up Win number / on We'd
nesday night by defeating West in
the opening game of the season, 24-7.
Ray Hastings and Glenn Cain turn
ed IN many beautiful broken field
runs to spark the offensive fer the
Tigers, but it was the hard charging
Durant line that spelled the diffe-
renee between the two teams.
The Tiger forward wall blocked
solidly and hard throughout the
game and cleared the way for their
backs by consistently opening large
gaps in the West line. James Ruck-
er and William Ferguson were
standouts at end, both Extensively
and defensively. Captain Reedy Nc
Lellan was stone wall on defense
at left tackle.
Start With Bong
The Tigers started off with a bang
by scoring in four plays after re-
ceiving the opening kickoff with
Hastings covering the last 40 yards
behind a bevy of blockers. West
took the lead few moments later
by recovering a tumble deep in
Durant territory and rushing the
ball across the goal on beautiful
end run by Wilkes, converting the
extra point
In the second quarter the Tigers
went ahead to stay by plunging the
ball over, after long pass from
Cain to Ferguson had carried the
ball near the goal Coming back
from intermission with renewed
vigor and pep, the Durant team
scored two quick touchdowns with
brilliant display of offensive
strength. The last quarter was a
case of give and take between two
hard-fighting lines
Mode Substitutions
The Tigers made frequent SUBJ
situations during this quarter with
most of the. squad getting into the
fray. For West, Wilkes and Black
were outstanding, both extensively
and defensively. This was the second
game of the season for West, who
last week was defeated by the
strong Alderman aggregation by the
Simmer than-expected margin of
$50.
Durant will play its next game
Friday, September "a, when it en-
tertains the Eupora Wahoos on the
local field.

are well qualified at Goodman, he
said, explaining that no teacher who
teaches college work has less than
a masters degree.
A cordial invitation was extended
Rotarians to visit the school and see

Is Expert In Field
Mr.. Morton is employed by Mar
tin Harris, contractor, who is drill
ling the Gulf well on the Bob
Bridgeforth property in Yazoo coun-
ty, just two miles west of Pickens.
He was with the State Conservation
Department of Arkansas from
1928 and is an expert in his field.
Mr., Morton's report follows:
One of the questions which COM
es up most frequently by those who
visit the well and the field is, why
l feel so tremendously enthused
over the possibilities of this (Holmes
county, area.
Having spent many years in the
oil business, looking after and the
bringing in of many wells leads me
to feel that this area has about
everything First, perhaps that
which holds the most interest for
all of us is the fact that approxi-
mately $50 wells have been brought
in in this general area. the gravity
Of the Oil is very high and the ac-
feasibility to the field along with
transportation facilities is consider
ed excellent. With the wells that
have been drilled in the territory
and the amount of oil which has
been produced there is a deep be-
lief on the part of those who are in
the best position to know, that there
exists in this area a mother pool

the Pickens field what Smackover
meant to Eldorado. There is wealth

Better Than Expected
when the discovery well was
brought in in the Pickens field in
1910, it was predicted at that time
that the life of the we'll would not
exceed period of five months, but
these wells have now produced seve-
raj million barrels of oil and are
still producing today approximately
what they were producing shortly
after they were brought in
