Betty Followed
Directors Order
By HoI Humphrey
HOLLYWOOD.

It's a little embarrassing to be
confronted personally by someone
you have been cussing repeatedly
on your TV screen.
This happened to me recently
when I was introduced to Miss
Betty Furness, who is rapidly be-
coming known throughout the
nation as Miss Westinghouse. -
The petite blond was out here
licking her wounds after putting
in 40 hours of plugging an assort-
ment of appliances for her sponsor
at the much-televised COP con-
vention. This week, as any viewer
can plainly see. Betty is proving
her bipartisanship by doing the
same thing for the Democrats on
the same CHS network.
During my conversation with
the country's current No. l
huckster, it was obvious that she
was quite upset over some Of the
unkind things which had been
said of her efforts to earn an
honest dollar.
II know that a lot Of people
are sick of seeing me-" she con-
fessed. II can only hope they
won't get took sick. Actually, it
want as bad as some of you
critics made out" Betty added
accusingly.
During the 40 hours I put in
with the Republicans. I gave just
IS commercials. I admit it was
poor Judgment to put me on five
times in that first hour, but
had no control over that, and 1t
didn't happen again."
Neither, of course, did Betty
have any control over areas like
Los Angeles, where her filmed
commercials were cut in by the
local CHS station at the rate of
So the first day.
Nevertheless, it seems an ole
established axiom among us TV
viewers to vent our spleen on the
personality delivering the plug
rather than the guy who orders it
Betty impaired some other in
teresting tidbits of information
before she departed for the Dem
ocratic fray:
She bought 20 new outfits fol
her two-week engagement at Chi
cago's International Amphithe-
ater. II used 10 Of them on the
Republicans, so If the Democrats
take too long to make up theil
minds they're going to see some
repeat costumes"
Most of the time she watched
the G. o. p. convention on a moni-
tor set which had no sound, so she
didn't know what was going on
land I didn't care after the thiro
day."
A Hollywood producer passing
through the Windy City saw hel
on a TV set and made a movie
offer which she turned down, "be.
cause I was too tired to think
about it."
And her political career doe!
not end this week. I've already
signed with the same sponsor anc
network for a weekly show callec
Pick the Winner which begin.

time" Betty announced.
Maybe the politicians over.

her for at least Vice President. It,

Flute Recital Comes
Close to Perfection

A flute recital in the Phillips
Gallery by Alex Fielder with Rob-
ert Allison at the piano, yesterday
afternoon, broke the regularity of
other combinations. Mr.. Fielder,
holder of a degree in English lit
erature and economics, comes
from Texas, where he is first
flutist in the Dallas Symphony.
He asserted himself in Albinoni's
Sonata for Flute" as q sensitive
musician who can make the flute
tone vital and strong.
The unusually beautiful work
by this Italian composer, held in
great esteem by Bach, brought out
many fine points in Mr.. Fielder's
playing. In musical quality the
sonata surpasses by far Copper
ms Premier Concert Royal"
which followed and lost by COM
parison. The strong rhythmical
pulse the flutist kept uppermost,
and his intelligent phrasing i'm
bued each of the four movements
with dignity and loveliness. The
long-sustained "Adagio" was es-
pecially fine and something Of a
departure from the general use
the flute is subjected to, identified
with a lighter type Of music as a
rule. The young artist was sue
cessful, and were it not that each
time he took a breath it was au-
dible across the auditorium, his
playing could have been consid-
cred fawless.
The local premiere given by
Rayner Browns Sonata for Flute
and Piano" kept both executants
alert. The opening theme. con-
sisting of notes that seemed hit
at random, later served as ma
terial for elaboration. It was quite
a departure from the gentle mel
odies of Couperin. The compost
ton has sweep but little or no
beauty in the accepted sense. But.

News of Music:
By EIeno de Soyn

To celebrate the anniversary of
Americas discovery, the Ambas-
sador of the Dominican Republic
and Sonora de Thomen sponsored
a recital by Rene Rodriguez
Milan in the Pan American
Union last night. The 19-year-old
Dominican pianist was presented
by the Ambassador following his
short address.
Before the public since the age
of IL and among the best of those
who appeared at the Union. Senior
Milan showed a natural endow-
ment and technical facility Of
a higher order. His performance
of Bach's "Partita in c Minor
was commendable for the man
ner in which the leading voices
were brought out and were
blended in both hands with just
enough pedal to give the music
the necessary resonance. A judi
cious use of it lent clarity and
finish to this selection, to
Chopin's Fantasia in F Minor,
op. 40" and to the rather shallow
Hungarian Rhapsody No. IL" by
Liszt
OF the "Partita's" six move
ments. the pianist's delivery of
the "Sinfonia' was the most elo-
quent. The lack of variety in
tempt and of contrasts in AL
lemande." "Courante," Sara
bande." "Rondeau" and "Capric-
clio" pointed to the need of
greater familiarity with the par
ticular style of each. To give these
obsolete dances their due is, per-
haps. one Of the most difficult as
signment of any. Senor Milan
felt more at home with Chopin,
which he played brilliantly, If
somewhat too hastily. His success
with the public was instantaneous,
the liquid. singing quality of his
tone, his flowing execution and
his well-poised appearance find
ing favor.

AT Swords Point" at Keith'S
Three of them are, at any rate
while the fourth. being played by
tMaureen O'Hara, is a daughter
type son-of-a-musketeer.
She is quite a hand with g
Irapier, though, a match with the
blade. in fact, for any one ir
France except D'Artagnan, who
happens to be the son of D'Artag-
nan. She rides right into battle
with the musketeers, too. and
keeps up with them on all but
two scores. She doesn't drink very
much wine and she maintains GER
tain reservations about that AL
for one, one for ALL motto.
1t is possible, come to think OF
it. for reviewer to maintain some
reservations, too-about the gen.
eral merit of AT Swords Point.
1t isn't a bad picture. really: just
an empty headed one. It's all
about the reckless attempts of the
sons-of -musketeers to save the in
FAINT king of France, hidden away
in a monastery from a sinister
duke named Lavalle. You probably
never cared less about the fate
|of an infant king of France than
you will while Musketeers O'Hara
and Cornell Wilde are duelling at
swords and amour.
There is some action. of course
with the musketeers riding up and
down the countryside trying to hi
jack princesses for their own good
and whatnot. but there is some
inaction. too. During the
first hour or so the Queen of
France keeps turning up with
maddening frequency to explain
the plot to everybody, as if she
were surrounded by blithering
idiots who couldn't remember what
happened five minutes ago.
There are hints that this may
have been intended as a burlesque
on the costume adventure film,
but if so, Director Lewis Allen
forgot to tell the actors. They
play it with straight faces, except
of course Miss O'Hara, whose face
is not straight but as nicely con-
toured as anything nature has
devised. Looking at Miss O'Hara
