ing the poets life time. Prince
Antoni Radziwill was the first to
undertake q musical setting of the
epic and its premiere was held in
the Berlin palace Of the Prince in
1919. Radziwill showed the work
to Chopin who said, II found
therein Q good many things well

"Damnation Of Faust" to Goethe

The next best known, in this

music by Massenet and first given

Rimsky -Korsakoff. Dargomyzhsky

contributed to the song literature

Contemporary Cubans
The riotous color, burgeoning
forms and overpowering heat Of
the tropics seem to permeate the
exhibition Of recent paintings from
Cuba, selected by Jose Gomez
Sicre, head Of the Pan American
Unions visual arts section. for
the American Federation Of Arts
The show is hung until February
~ at Watkins Gallery. American
University. the first place on q
national circuit, which will take
these paintings all over the coun-
try.
More than 80 works, the major
ity paintings in gouache, with q
few oil on paper. pastel and ink,
and a number of ink drawings,
represent nine Cuban artists, all
working in modern idioms,
strongly personal and experiment
tai. People with a taste for re-
straint. harmonious color and
gracious form, will find this es-
thetic fare as indigestible as GER
tain peppery, oily foods served in
the tropics. One seems to hear
the faint beat Of native drums as
an undertone to some of these
paintings.
Yet the artists who produced
these works which have such ele-
mental, primitive aspects, are
a sophisticated. well-educated
group. Six Of them were born
in Havana. they and the other,
studied at the San Alexandra
Academy there. some Of them
studied at the University OF
Havana. Most of them had
further study and travel in Eur
ope, the United States, or else
where in Latin America. All
have exhibited in the United
States, all but one Of them, here
at the Pan American Union. two
in one-man shows. The same
eight are represented in the per-
manent collections of the Museum
Of Modern Art. New York City. q
number of them in other Amer
lean collections.
These artists are identified by
the exhibiting organization as
"Cuba's foremost artists" which
if true, must be so in a very limi-
ted sense. Seven of the nine are
remarkably close in age. ranging
from IS to 80; one Is over so, one
is %. 1t is more logical to assume
that Cuba has outstanding artists
in several age groups; that there
was nothing about the years 1910
to 1914 to explain the births Of q
constellation Of geniuses. These
artists are probably foremost
among Cuba's experimentalists.
Lazzari Retrospective
Pietro Lazzari is an exuberant
experimenter, and variety is the
predominant characteristic of his
one-man show at United Nations
Club through February. His works
are Of such size that "a of them

This retrospective comes near
to having the effect Of a group ex-

approaches and styles. There is

Rowan. done in charcoal, which
caught his warm personality as
well as his appearance. A silver
point portrait Of a young girl is
exquisite-perhaps the most beau
tiful work in the collection. Sew
eral oil portraits done in tradi-
tional manner, including a self
portrait of 1888, contrast strongly
with his more radical treatment
of Frans Bader of the Whyte Gal
lery. and young self-portrait
done in Rome in 1923.

Slum Clearance Will
Compensate Expense.
Governor Says

In commenting on the law
creating Public Housing Auth
ority, Governor HASTE stated
he believes that public
housing should be the next
major undertaking of the Gov
eminent. He estimates that in
addition to any Federal Hous-
ing funds each Municipality
would have to spend from
$50, 900 to 100000 a year for
a period of at least five years
to clear the slums.
The former would mean an
increase in taxation. The gains
to the community would
more than compensate for
the financial outlay, however.
There would be a gain in pub
lie health, an increase in the
value of property through the
