But What of Core|Ii? !
His Music Remains Employed Here,
Even in His TercentenoY Year
By Elena de Soyn

bored him. Corelli also was to
read at sight selection by
AleSSandro Scarlatti, the con-
ductor. Unnerved by the kings
rudeneSS, he started in a
wrong key. Scarlatti stopped
the orchestra and had him
begin again. Still another at
tempt had to be made before
Corelli noticed his mistake. He
left Naples in an unhappy
mood to find upon his return
to Rome that a new violiniSt
had found great favor with
the audiences during his alb
sence. The thought Of being
superseded preyed upon his
mind to such an extent that
his health became undermined
and caused his death year
later.
Inherited Traditions
Corelli's reputation as a
teacher equalled his fame as
violinist and composer. Pupils
flocked to him from far and
wide. While not an innovater,
he was destined to perfect, as
semble and systematic that
which went before. From his
teachers, Giovanni Baptista
Bassani, best violinist of the
era. and Matteo Simonelli,
known as the 17th century
Palestrina, Corelli inherited
classic traditions at a time
when poor performance and a
freakish imitation Of animals
and birds were extremely pop
ular with the public and
threatened to Stifle art. Bas-
sani may have taught him his
quiet and elegant manner Of
playing, Simonelli the sim
plicity and purity Of his own
style. The latter'S compost
tionS still form a part Of the
religious service in the Pom
tif1cal Chapel Of the Vatican,
where his manuscripts are
preserved.
Corelli is credited with stabi-
lizing the science of bowing.
regulating intervals and intro
ducing chord playing. His own
writings are always simple
and admirably suited to the
instrument. History made
him father Of a genealogical
tree which traces violinists
from teacher to pupil through
centuries. His principles have
come down in a direct line of
succession and are still alive
in violiniSts such as KreiSler,
Heifetz, Elman and many
others. The span of three
centuries seems great, but on
the chart of the genealogical
tree only eight violinistS sepa-
rate Corelli's name from that
of Leopold Auer, teacher Of
Heifetz and Elman.
Born Poor, Died Rich
Once a poor boy who hiked
two miles from his paternal
home to get his first violin
instruction from parish
priest, Corelli died a rich man.
He left $3.50, 900 and a collec-
tion of paintings which he
willed to his patron and bene-
factor, Ottoboni. However, the
Cardinal kept only the paint
ings and distributed the money
among Corelli's relatives.
The composer was buried in
the Pantheon with great hon.
ors. His tombstone bears the
inscription of Master of Mas
ters, Superlative Virtuoso Of
the Violin, the True Orpheus
Of Our Time" ETC., together
with his honorary title of Mar
quis Won Ladenburg given him
by the ruling prinz Phillip
Wilhelm Won der Pfalz. Sol
emn professions through the
city with musical services at
his grave were held on his
subsequent death anniversaries
by his former students, until
the last Of these passed way.

HOLLYWOOD,

Three months ago I wrote a
magazine article on the state
Of Hollywood romances. It's
on the stands now. And it's
interesting to see what has
happened already to so many
forever" love stories. Peggy
Lee-we show her in q bridal
gown in her marriage pose
with Brad Dexter. Well, they
are still together, as of writing
this story. But there was a
whole week there when it
looked like hello and good-by.
John Kodiak is shown as
a heartbroken guy over the
breakup of his marriage with
Anne Baxter. But just a
few weeks ago he met a
blond, blue-eyed charmer,
Kay Spreckles, and it looks
like he's in love again. But
Anne Baxter. she is only we'd
ded to her career.
We show Ginger Rogers and
the four men she married and
tell when and how old they
were. Hubby No. l, Jack Pep
per. They married when Gin
ger was II and he was 20.
Just babes in the woods. Gin
ger still was two years younger
than Lew Ayres when she
promised to love and obey him
forever in 1886. He was Is,
she was %. Now it starts to
go backward-Ginger is 81 and
Jackie Briggs, mate No. 3, was
% when he took her for a
wife in 1943. Now comes the
biggest leap-Jacques Bergerac
is 26 and Ginger AZ. But.
honestly, she looks younger
than when she married Jack
Pepper in 1928.
WiIdines Sofe
The marriage we all thought
would shiver and shake-Eliz-
abeth Taylor's to Mike Wild
ing, is holding up for this
quarter.
And Mickey Rooney. a
three-time loser, seems to be
winning with the fourth Mrs.
Mike, Elaine Mahnken. Per-
haps it's because she doesn't
want a career. All the others
including Ava Gardner
did.
Two of the loves we men,
tion for Terry Moore have
fallen by the wayside-Al
Besselink and Laurence Har-
vey. But Nicky Hilton, the
first Mr.. Elizabeth Taylor, is
still very much around.
Denise Darcel-on page %
Men are like buses-wait-
ing to be caught" She's still
running after the bus.
But Pier Angel is making
history with Kirk Douglas.
They still are going steady.
And she wants to marry him
madly.
1t was a pretty safe bet to
write three months ago that
Ann Blyth would marry DR..
James McNulty and live hap
PLY ever after. They are both
deeply religious and If this
marriage ever fails, I'll never
believe anything again. It
won't.
Wonder what happened to
ego-eccentric Marion Brando

in Hollywood now. and he's too
tough to keep track Of. All I
get about him are anecdotes
about his pet raccoon.
And here's a quote from Rose
mary Clooney-"If you say I'm
going to be married-uh-well,
I'm afraid to say definitely that
I will be. But you can say I
still have it very much in
mind-and so does joe" He
sure did. But Rosemary wasn't
sure she would be Mrs. Jose

parently, because she got her

News of Music

The name of Arcangelo Cor
elli, whose tercentenary Is be-
ing widely observed. has been
conspicuous by its absence
from symphony programs this
past season. His famous con-
certi groSsi, which once formed
the backbone Of the National
Symphony'S repertoire and
were favored by the Philadel-
phia Orchestra, have not been
played here in a decade. But,
the year 1853 is not over yet
and there is much time left
to pay Corelli homage.
The recent bequeSt to the
Public Library of Hans Kind
ler's orchestral library, con-
tanning some Of Corelli's scores,
should be an inducement to
local groups to perform them.
The name of Corelli will
live as long as the violin
forms a part of the or
chestra. And what goes
for the violin applies to the
rest of the strings, for he
composed only chamber mu-
sic specializing in the church
sonata form. His violin So
natas, string trioS, accompa-
MED by other instruments,
and his concerti grossi are
famous for their lofty melodic
line, harmonization, spiritual
lied contents and the intelli-
gent union of parts. Leon
cavallo called him the Pet
rarch' Of Italian music and
Verdi, who had a special es-
TEEN for Corelli, is known to
have said: ITO think, that
we modernS dare to presume
that music is progressing. It
is Corelli with Bach and Han
del who divested music Of its
kroSSer elements.
His Name Lived
Corelli'S own style of playing
was distinctive for the charm
and nobility Of his tone and
for its refinement. His man
ner Of execution, free from
flashy virtuosity, may have
also reflected his personality.
Modest and retiring, he was a
man Of principle and charac-
ter, one who commanded the
respect and admiration of
people in every walk Of life.
Distinguished visitors paid
him homage. royalty showed
him attention and he moved
in the highest circles of the
aristocracy. His name became
synonymous with artistic per-
fection and lived for genera
tions while the names of those
who came after him were COM
pletely obliterated from mem
ory.
In his boyhood his perform
ance brought him q powerful
patron in Cardinal Ottoboni,
who befriended him and later
employed him. Corelli lived in
Ottoboni's palace and made the
weekly musicaleS there an out
standing feature in Rome's
social life. In the days when
other great musicians were
looked down upon and treated
as servants. Corelli occupied
q rather unique social posi-
ton. On one occasion, during
a musicale at the residence Of
the cardinal, on hearing q
group of distinguished guests
chatting, he calmly stopped his
performance. put down the
violin and Joined the circle.
His independence allowed him
to pass up attractive offers to
establish himself elsewhere,
as those made repeatedly by
the king Of Naples. For re-
fuSing the latter, Corelli paid
dearly in the end.
When he finally came to
play in q concert at the court
of Naples, the king humiliated
him by leaving the hall in the
midst Of his performance, pre-
tending that the composition

Train Smashes Auto
Stalled at Lakeland;
Occupants Escape

A Maryland couple jumped to
safety from their stalled car yes
terday seconds before a fast
travelling passenger train smashed
the car to bits at the Lakeland
grade crossing, near College Park.
David H. Easley, So, was driv-
ing the car and Connie Miller,
about 40, was the passenger. Both
are colored.
Pfc. Emmett F. G. Gray of the
Prince Georges County police
force said the car stalled in the
path of Baltimore & Ohio train
bound for Washington.
The crossing has warning
lights and a bell. Michael Good

of the train, told police the warn
ing signals were working as he
rounded a bend and spotted the
car on the tracks. Mr.. Good
night said he applied the brakes,
but could not avoid smashing
into the stalled automobile. The
car. a 1948 sedan, was demol-
iShed.
Pvt. Gray could not say how
fast the train was travelling. The
train was delayed about 20 min
utes while the tracks were
cleared, then proceeded to WASH

Arlington Awards
Contract 70 Build
14-Roon School

BY an unusual split vote of
4 to l, the Arlington School
Board has awarded a $3.50, 900
contract for construction of
Jamestown Elementary School.
The successful low bidder was
E. L. Daniels.
Board Member Curtis E. Tut
hill opposed the motion for a.
room school, favored by the other
four members. He contended the
contract should call for a 20
room school, at a cost of $685., 636.
Mr.. Tuthill, who is a psychol-
ogy teacher at George Washing
ton University. said it would be
better to build a complete school
now.
Other Needs Cited.
The other board members and
Supt. T. Edward Rutter said that
other parts of the county will
need more classrooms before
Jamestown will need the addi-
tional six rooms.
An Arlington Circuit Court
order last month held that Fed
eral employees are banned by
State law from serving on the
school board. The three board
members who are Federal en-
ployes are retaining their posts
while the appeal is pending be-
fore the State Supreme Court.
Since the litigation began, the
board has sought to assure le-
gality of its important acts by
having the two members who are
not Federal employees form a
voting majority. Some of the
Government workers have alb
stained from voting to bring this
about.
DIR. Drew HOnOred.
The school will be built near
Glebe road and Albemarle street

In other business, the board

The Prince Georges and Mont

to support legislation that would
enable construction of new
building on the University of
Maryland campus which would
house the Childhood Education

dent of the University of Mary
land Pre- School Parent Teacher
Association, said the request will
be made after the group of legiS-
lators completes a tour of present
facilities at 7::3O pm. Wednesday.
Mrs. Bogdanof said special
appropriation of 100000 will be
asked. She said funds were in
cluded in the original budget re-
quest of the university but were
stricken by the State Planning
Department which reviews budg-
ct proposals before they go to
Gov. McKeldin and the legis-
latorS.
"It seems that every other ap-
preparation has various influen-
tial organizations to lobby for
it's inclusion and passage, but
this appropriation is considered
not sufficiently important for all
it does is provide specialized
teachers for little children" Mrs.
Bogdanof said.
The Childhood Education De-
partment is a training center
for teachers who specialize in
nursery schools, kindergarten
work and work with physically
or mentally handicapped chill
dren. Mrs. Bogdanoff said it is
the only training center of its
kind in the East.
