According to Mrs. Dram, the

colloquialisms and axioms.
"An expression such as 'diplo-

to the punch line and can't
find a way to put 1t across"
she said.

Mr.. zeitlin, however. Is an

solo sonata was introduced here
last season by Menuhin. The
work Is very well managed to
show on the resources Of the
violin, but suffers from q some-
what insipid first movement. The
slow movement, q simple lyric
song played with mute, is warm
and winning, and the finale Is
fast. vigorous and exciting.

It was q privilege TO hear Glenn
Gould, an extremely gifted young
Canadian pianist. play q taxing
recital program virtually flaw
lessly. insofar as the execution Of
the notes and of his own inten-
tions Is concerned. He is already
possessed Of q formidable agility,
and Of very considerable control
of piano tone. at least for soft
touches. He was at his best In
the two works by pupils Of
Sctonberg; he played them with
reverence and understanding.
and with the exquisite control
of dynamic level demanded by
the music.
After finishing the Webern
Variations. he commented to the
audience at Phillips Gallery on
the great resemblance between
this piece and the Forthcoming
Beethoven. It Is doubtful If this
aside struck a consonant note
with the audience, but he fol-
lowed it by repeating the Webern.
This approach-to play an un-
familiar work twice-is Of bene-
flt both to the composer and to
the audience.
The Beethoven itself did not
fare so well. Mr.. Gould has not
vet learned to play q warm.
sonorous. unharsh forte. Besides
this. the performance was one
in which everything was plus
10 per cent. The fast passages
were too fast, the andante too
slow, the pianissimi too feathery
and luminous for the music.
The polyphonic works COM
prising the first half Of the pro-
gram were played with great
care and precision. The leading
Of the voices was admirably dis
tinct. although the device Of
combining one voice legato with
another non legato or even
staccato grew threadbare with
repetition. Particularly effective
was the playing Of the intricate
divisions by the left hand in the
Sweeltnck. The five familiar
three-part inventions Of Bach
amply justified their presence
on q serious program.
There is one habit which Mr..
Gould should break to improve
the appearance of his perform
ance. If he could refrain from
the ceaseless writings, squirm-
ings and gyrations on the bench,
the eye OF, the beholder would
not be in such conflict with the,
ear Of the listener.
However. the faults Of Glenn
Gould are the faults Of youth,
while his merits are those Of

cerity and dedication. Time can
cure the first, but should never

J. s. Bach's admiration for the
works of Antonio Vivaldi took the
form Of re-arrangements Of many
Of the latter's instrumental con-
certos. It was with one Of these
that John Upham began his or
gan recital In Washington Cathe-
dral yesterday afternoon.
A distant relative and onetirne
close friend Of Bach, Johann
Walther, known today chiefly as
the author Of the first real mu-
sical dictionary, in his day was
well respected as an organist and
composer. OF his four chorale
pArtitas, Mr.. Upham chose the
one on "Jesu, meine Freude," q
well-wrought, somewhat pedes-
trian example Of the sturdy ira
dition that Bach brought to

here was most impressive. but at
times his efforts at sudden tonal

Chamber Warns
Against False
Charity Drives

The Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce has issued a warning to all
businessmen and residents in the
Bethesda area advising them
against giving funds in response
TO personal or telephone solicita-
tionS unless such solicitation of
funds have been approved by the
Chamber.
In recent weeks such calls on
residents and businessmen in the
area have increased substantially.
Several years ago, to solve this
problem, the Chamber created a
Clearance Committee which in.
vestigates requests for approval
of such soliciting.
The primary purpose of this
clearance is to protect the worth
while charities.
The second purpose is to pro-
tect the businessmen and resi-.
dents of the area from being un-
duly harassed and from being
duped by fraudulent operators.
Any bona-fide organization de-
string to make solicitations in the
Bethesda area should write to the
Chamber of Commerce, 7240 Wis
consin Avenue, setting out in full
the purposes of the organization,
names of all officers and board
of directors and a statement as
TO how the funds will be used.
Businessmen and residents re-
ceiving requests for donations
should inquire if the Chamber
has approved the solicitation. If
the party calling states Chamber
approval has been received, then
they should be advised to call
back. In the meantime the Cham
Der should be called to check the
approval Calls may be made to
