Brahms Sonata Program Provides
Rore Treat for Invited Audience

fine example of complete clarity
within its frame.
The appreciation Of the quality
of last nights performance is not
leSsened by certain reservations,
The character Of Mr.. Casadesus'
tone lacks the warmth and gener-
Gus vigor for Brahms while the
natural opulence of that of Mr..
Francescatti is sometimes thick
ened needlessly by his vibrato.
Then too, the real quality of
Brahms was missed by a fraction,
his singing having not quite the
expected overtoneS of loftiness nor
his ruggedness the complete rich
ness and genuineness.
The tremendously dramatic
Sonata in D Minor" released the
brilliant temperament of the
artists. In the powerful final
movement the virtuosity of Mr..
Casadesus shone, yet at times it
came close to eclipsing the string
instrument. The Adagio was
played with great beauty by Mr..
Francescatti and with vibrantly
sonorouS tone. Together the mu-
sicians made this notable work in
truth the climax of the program
as it is of the composers creations
in this form. The audience, over
flowing into the foyer, was elec-
trif1ed and its ovational acclaim
brought out the artists several
times.

The program OF Brahms soma
tas, played by Zinc Francescatti,
Iviolinist, and Robert Casadesus.
pianist. in the Library of Congress
last night, provided a rare treat
for the invited audience of the
Gertrude Clarke Whittall Founda-
ton,
The hearing of the three violin
sonatas at one time duplicated
the occasion 63 years ago when
the composer and his good friend,
lthe celebrated violinist Joseph
Joachim, played the same pro-
gram for the royal family of Han
over. But last night the presen-
Itation was in the hands of two
French artists who brought not
only their keen musical sense, but
deep appreciation of the contents,
to their Interpretation Of the
sonatas.
Techniques Praised.
It was a performance in which
these elements operated continu-
ously. The glowing spirit, the
fascinating detail and the superb
technical perfection of both art
lists gave vivid life to these i'm
mortal works. Complete under
standing of the different moods
embodied in the sonatas, and
teamwork that has seldom been
surpassed, made the occasion a
memorable one. The program will
be repeated for the public tonight
and sent out over Station WGMS-
FM and associated stations on the
East Coast.
In spite of the fact that the
ensemble playing was impressive,
there were times when the work
Of one or the other, artist stood
out more prominently. In the
lovely Sonata in G Major" the
beauty Of Mr.. Francescatti's tone
was at its purest, the tenderness
and poetry of the music was
sensed deeply and communicated
with inpassioned conviction at its
most fervent moments. The So.
nata can be uninteresting in less
skilled hands. but both musicians
found its strength and beauty in
their very sensitive and compre-
hending reading.
Proper Coloring Rendered.
The Sonata in A Major" was
embellished by the splendid pian-
ism of Mr.. Casadesus. Nuances
of the utmost refinement, yet hav-
ing a telling effect time and again,
gave the proper color and accent
to the violin's songfulness. They
took their place beside, beyond
and around the string instrument
with a wealth Of variety and in
Election Illuminating in their mu-
sical and emotional value. Both
artists have exceptional rhythmic
sensitivity and the lullaby effect
of the Andante tranquillo was a

Tito's Break
With Vatican
Causes Worry
BY JOHN N. HIcHToWER


WASHINGTON Up - Marshal
Tito'S break with the Vatican
aroused fresh worry here today
over the weakest link in the chain
of anti-Soviet nations in Europe
relations between C o m m un S t
Yugoslavia and Catholic Italy.
The American governments con-
cern with the situation arises from
its desire, as a matter of major
policy, to establish the closest poll
tical and military cooperation
among all the European countries,
in and out of the North Atlantic
Alliance, in the interest of check
ing Soviet power.
Tito's diplomatic break with the
Vatican yesterday probably will
make it more difficult to achieve
this aim in two regards: ~ tying
Yugoslavia closer to the Western
European nations, and (2) trying to
solve the Italian. .Yugoslav dispute
over Trieste.
furthermore, some o fficia S
tnmK there ~ be difficulties with
Congress, where the anti-Soviet
Communist government of Yugo-
slavia has always been regarded
with skepticism by many
members.
Tito broke with Russia in mid
1913. Since that time the U. S. has
tightened its relations with him and
= tVided .substential military and
economic assistance.
During the fiscal year which
ended last June 80 the U. S.,
Britain and France tog h r
provided Tito with l20 million dol
lars, this year their help totals SO
millions. In both years the Ameri-
can share has been IS millions.
The Truman administration has
regarded Yugoslavia as a great
asset to the West because (1) it is
living example of the ability of a
satellite nation to break with Mos
COW and survive, and CD Tito'S
30-odd divisions, though they have
been badly in need Of moderniza-
ton, are a valuable addition 10
anti-Soviet strength.
Efforts to get along with Tito
have been marked by frequent

Sick And Broke
Skipper Sims
Gets Some Aid
Fellow Shrimpers,
Citizen Readers
Take Collection
To Mon. Hospital

A lonely, grieving, sick shrimper
may have little brighter Christ
mas because, fellow shrimpers
and other Citizen readers are help
ing him out.
Elijah Sims, skipper of the Capt.
Frank, which sank and took down
with it mate James Cannon last
Monday, is still in Monroe Gener-
al Hospital, following his IL hours
of exposure in the chill, wind
whipped waters of Northwest
channel.
The native of Ridgeville, Ga.
who has Skippered shrimp boats
for years was rescued by shrimper
Jane Carolyn. He and that vessel
could not save his friend James
Cannon who lost his precarious
footing on the sinking ship and
went down with her.
The Coast Guard loaned Sims
clothes on Monday, and then found
the shy, grieving man was i'll
from his ordeal. He was taken to
Monroe General hospital where DR..
H. K. Moore has been treating him
since then.
Lonely and mourning his dead
friend, as well as missing his
family of four children and wife,
Sims yesterday faced Christmas
without funds, without clothes, or
papers.
The kind hearts of fellow shrimp
ers, particularly Capt. Rod Strange
skipper of the Captain Charles, q
boat owned by the same company
as Sims former vessel is making
recovery easier for Sims.
Capt. Strange walked up and
down Duval Street yesterday and
collected pennies and dollars from
fellow shrimpers, bar tenders, and
retailers. He collected $l6.50 in all,
to which he added $11.0O of his
own to buy $3.50 in clothing for
sick skipper Sims.

mourning shrimper has called
friends to add to the small but
growing collection for the destitute
father of four.

'Creat Stars OF U.S.. Stage"
Is A Fine Pictorial Feast .
DANIEL BLUM
RELAXES IN XIV
AFTER PUBLISHING
THEATER HISTORY
BY SUSAN McAVoY

Anyone who loves the American
theater, its past, present and its
future, can give himself as a
Christmas present or a theater-
loving friend one of the most
stirring books on the theater to
come out in years.
Yesterday I feasted my eyes on
the pages of "Great Stars of the
American Stage" with author
Daniel Blum who has been stay
ing at The Key WeSter.
The huge book with its 1900 pic
lures of stars from cradle to last
portrait is just one Blum'S con-
tributions to "the fabulous In
valid" the American theater.
He has also published the "Pic-
torial History of the American
Theater 1851" with $500 Illus
trations, and the Theater World
Annual and Screen World AnnuaPS
published since 1914 and 194S.
Blum came to Key West for a
few days rest and out of curiosity.
The So year old theater aficion- do
is not a frustrated actor. Rather
he is a fulfilled collector of old
theater programs, old glossies of
stars reaching back to the turn
of the century and old clippings.
Owner of one of the finest private
collections of theater memorbilia,
Blum, decided to make his col
lection available to thousands of
Americans when he and Green
berg his publisher brought out
these ANNALS and histories.
Yesterday forgot the chill
breeze blowing in Key West and
was carried back to what / re-
member as my year Of the golden
summer spent with the great and
near great of the American thea
ter.
It was a summer when some
of the leading stars on Broadway

SCOT Blanket 1
Over City
Temporarily"
City Electric
Engineers Assure
Citizens That
1t Will Cease

Key Westers had taste Of the
SCOT that covers most big cities
up north last night and today
when the new steam electric plant
emitted trial plumes.
L. w. Whitmarsh, chief engineer
of City Electric said that the
blast of smoke which covered the
Post Office and Caroline Street
houses with SCOT was due to a
kicked out fan.
I'VE will not have SCOT as .
regular thing when the plant
goes into operation" the ensi-
neer said. Fright now with ali
the adjustments Of the engines
and fhe try-oUf period. there
may be occasions when SCOT will
come out"
Whitmarsh assured The CITIZEN,
that SCOT will not cloud Key West
skies or dirty up the otherwise
smoke free city.
'.If1it does occur we get fac
tory man down to iron out the
troubles. We're working on it right
now. Half an hour ago there was
a little more SCOT. l hope Key
Westers will understand this is
just temporary and bear with us
till we get the plant under full
and regular operation"
This morning poSt-office en-
ployes were swabbing down SCOT
covered marble floors, steps and
sidewalks. Caroline Street resi-
dents near the plant also COM
planned of unusual houSecleaning
caused by the plumes.
Last night many persons thought
there was a fire in the city or
up the Keys when the sky was
blackened by the SCOT. For many
the film of smoke provided their
first sight of urban sunset, namely
one where the sun is reddenec
through the film of smoke.
The SCOT will stop sooting wheF
the plants gets into its regular
swing. Mops and busters may sta.
out until then.
