Washington society put on a
brilliant show last night as about
TOO persons gathered in the Will
lard Hotels newly reopened ball
room for a charity ball benefitting
the National Symphony Orches-
ira.
It was "a night for white tie
and tails for the men, and mink,
ermine and white fox, velvets,
satins and sequins for the women.
There were enough diamonds and
other baubles to stock a branch
of Tiffanys.
Among the early arrivals was
Mrs. Joseph Davies, who was hon
orary chairman of the ball, wear
ing a gray dress accented by a
stole of cerise ostrich feathers.
Chinese Auction Big Success.
Most of those who attended
the ball left it slightly poorer.
During the evening various ways
were devised to extract donations
from them for WaShington's
Symphony orchestra.
Pretty debutantes sold bous-
tonnieres to the men. For espe-
cially large donations they pfe-
sented the buyers with kisses
Highlight of the evening was
a Chinese auction, wherein the
bidder had to pay the sum of
money by which he raised the
bid regardless Of how high the
competition went.
Mrs. Davies brought the auc-
tioneer for this event from Palm
Beach, Fla, who put on the block
q brand-new Studebaker. BY in
termission. $4,000 had been
raised with the bidding con-
tinuing.
AS an added stimulus, various
prizes were given whenever a
lucky number was hit by a bid
der. regardless of the amount Of
his raise. These included q min
iature poodle complete with ped
igree papers, a Dior creation,
cases Of champagne and quarts
of French perfume.

Another feature attraction was
the waltz contest, which was won
by the Assistant Secretary Of

I'm SO thrilled with our newly

you about it. It all started when
/ hung my copper bottomed pans
on the wall and liked the warm
color so well that / re-did my
room using copper for decoration.
First, kitchen walls and cup.
boards were painted a soft tawny
brown; breakfast nook, papered a
cheerful brown and yellow pro.
vincial print. Then q new copper
console range and refrigerator
with a copper door were added.
(Our appliance dealer tells US that
more people are choosing copper
surface appliances, not only for
their beauty but practically as
well.) A copper canister set, waste
basket, bread box and copper
moulds on the wall completed the
new theme. And today we just
live In our kitchen, it's so cheerful
and attractive!
According to the Copper =
Brass Research Association, the
swing to Early American and Pro-
vincial rooms in which copper and
brass traditionally belong is large
" responsible for their great pop
ularity today. We have brass
lamps and wall plates in our
living room, as well as q brass
fireplace set. And, have you seen

A couple of years ago John

The veteran director had
won all the honors Hollywood
could bestow and had made
virtually every kind of picture.
Before I hang I'D my gloves"
he said, II want to direct three
actors-Clark Gable, Tyrone
Power and James Stewart"
The first of his wishes came
true with "Mogambo," and
Ford had to go all the way to
Africa to do film with Gable.
Then he found a story to fit
Power. When both were work.
ing at goth Century-Fox, he
told the actor he would find
a story some day.
We'll, I found it," he told
Power on the telephone.
"Fine-when do we start?"
was the answer.
Don't you want to know
what it iS?"
Nope. Just tell me when
we start"

larly intriguing: Mozart's over
ture anticipates the first IA
nous theme or Beethoven's
"Eroica."
After a round Of Mozart
concertos from the unsubtle
hands of Iturbi, it is refresh
ing to have Victor turning to
such a sterling team as Mon
teux and Lili Kraus, especially
for such a relatively neglected
pair as the 18th and 18th.
Mime. KrauS' crisp yet resil-
lent pianism atteSts it's Selma
bel tutelage, and the Monteux
baton extracts values from the
orchestral score all too rarely
exposed. a fact for which the
Boston Symphony players
should be given their share of
credit. Nine. Kraus, inciden-
tally. now has the distinction
Of two LIP performances of No.
18. The new one easily out
distances its predecessor on
both orchestral performance
and total sound.
Now, when is Victor going
to give us LIPS of more Selma
bel Misunderstanding, say, with
the superb HMV recording of
Concerto No. 10?
Quite a few concertos have
been coming along. Serkin and
Sell prove winning COM
combine in the Brahms D
minor, the Cleveland Orches-
ira producing quite as luxuri-
ant sounds as it's more easterly
brethren and Columbia's engi-
neers capturing them with
uncommon accuracy. The
Beethoven Emperor" sounds
genuinely regal in the hands
Of Backhaus and Clemens
Krauss in Vienna, courtesy of
some exceptionally fine Lon
don technical work, too. For
HMV the British pianist Solo
mon turns out a fluent rendi-
ton of the Beethoven fourth:
although he doesn't measure
up quite to Schnabel, and
Andre CluytenS' beat slackens
.curiously in spots.
A 10-minute o-orchestra
rondo written by Beethoven in
his teens is performed by
Friedrich Wuehrer on a Vox
disc. It sounds more like
Mozart than almost anything
else he wrote. The first con-
certo is also given a competent
performance on this record.
Liszt's Triangle" concerto is
given one of it's most spectac-
ular renditions, from the
acoustical standpoint, on an
Epic disc, the familiar Schu-
mann concerto being on the
oversize. Cor de Groot plays
the Liszt. Clara Haskil the
Schumann. The latter doesn't
equal Myra Hess old perform
ance for sensitivity, and Dame
Myra is reported making a
new recording, incidentally.
Orazio Frugoni also does the
LiSzt concerto for Vox, with
the Liszt A major on the back.
The Arrau performance Of the
Triangle" on Columbia still
seems to me the best. though.
Pianist De Groot, the Hague
Philharmonic and Willem van
Otterloo are the collaborators
in a well-recorded Epic per-
formance Of Morton Gould's
jazzy Interplay" The same
composers "Spirituals" also
are on the disc.
