Turning back to domestic

Evening star., 1949-03-24

There Is a tendency IN some
quarters to regard man who
plays popular music as something
of lesser pianist than one who
plays the classics. This seems to
be a most unsupportable theory
when a man like Jan August, the
Statler Embassy Rooms head
liner, is in the neighborhood. Mr..
August may have turned to Ber-
lin rather than Beethoven as
soon as his piano teacher got out
of the room, but he is real whiz
of a pianist, who makes a baby
grand jump for joy.
The theory stems from the
varied demands of the two types
of music. With the classics, it
is the music that counts. The
soloist who imposes his own per-
sonality to the point Of domi-
nance soon discovers that he is
desecrating work of art.
Popular music, however, because
it has less substance in itself,
lends itself to the snowy tech
nique, the f1amboyant personal
style.
This latter approach is the
one Mr.. August has, all right. He
plays piano with vigor and
solid. pronounced rhythm and he
plays all SO of the keys. Some
times it sounds as if he is play
ing all 88 keys at once, but this
sensation is only a tribute to his
speed and razzle- dazzle. He has
only the normal number Of hands
(twO.
There are. of course, exponents
Of popular music who have won
their share of fame without the
flashing technique. but they usu-
ally are musicians musicians
Their genius is more appreciated
by the tutored than by the un-
tutored. With the cabaret Gus
toners. it is a style like Mr.
Augusts that registers.
No less an authority than Eddy
Duchin, who is one of them him
self. has called Washington's
Evalyn Tyner the best among
these pianist t-showmen. Behind
Miss Tyner's spectacular style sits
an unerring natural musician.
Both he, himself. says Mr. Duchin,
and Carmen Cavallero have, on
occasion, become so wrapped up in
their improvising that they have
played themselves into corners
from which there was no legiti-
mate musical escape, Just retreat
behind a screen of piano fireworks.
1t never happens to Miss Tyner,
he AYERS.
Just how the Embassy Rooms
Mr.. August stacks up on this par
ticular score is something a man
who is considerably less an au-
thority than Eddy Duchin would
hesitate to say. He does attack a
piano firmly, as if to let it know
Immediately and with no foolish
ness, who is boss around here. He
runs through a program that is
varied more in melody than in
mood or anything else. since
everything he touches is over
shadowed by his individual style
In Mr.. AGgust's hands, a tune
becomes dominated by a solid
rhythm and embellished by more

would produce $4,000 900 Of add

A spokesman for the Buffalo
Evening News commented tonight

tcal Of the Gov. Dewey adnninistra-
tion and pointed to its recent OBJ

suited from recent reports by the

men, were on the Illinois State pay
roll from 1943 to 1949.

ployeS Of Il dailies and SO weekly

can Ex-Governor whose 1940-1948
administration hired the newsmen,
called the reports politically in
spired.
He lost to Democrat Adlai E.
Stevenson last November in his
bid for reelection. after q cam
paign in which the Post-Dispatch
and the Daily News editorially op-
posed him.
Regarding the New York news
papermen. the Daily News said:
Borst is a member Of the Hud-
son River regulating District
Board. Since his appointment in
1914 by Gov. Dewey he has served
two years as president. the re-
mainder of the time as q board

trict Commission. O'Brien has
been on the commission since 1885
and Crary since 1945.
Their pay is $25 a meeting
