The Union Premiere

Bales does not parody these
tunes, nor, on the other hand.
does he dress them up in sym
Iphonic suite. He arranges them
straight. and the singers play
them straight. even to the point
lof always including just one
more chorus than is absolutely
necessary, The resulting noStal-
gia is not at all Objectionable, as
it could have been if the COM
poser had tried to exaggerate the
sentiment of his material.
The concert opened with the
seventh symphony of Walter
Spencer Huffman, a young and
prolific composer of Baltimore.
1t is a large work in four move
ments, classical in feeling and
somewhat Hindemithian in style.
Clean-cut. dry. and tangy, it is
full Of good tunes and effective
orchestration. Mr.. Hoffman, who
was present to receive the APP
Iplause. is a man who has some
thing to say. He knows how to
say it, and when to stop.

Yesterday afternoon at Bark
er Hall. the Madrigal Singers
offered a characteristic program
of nadrigals. folk music. and
works and thoroughly
delighted those in attendance
with their fine ensemble and
excellent musicianship, as well
as their obvious pleasure in
what they were doing.
That the youngsters do a top
notch job with such crowd
pleasers as 1.-THE Deaf Old
Woman" and Johnny Schmok-
er" tsung as an encore) is no
surprise many other high
school groups do as well. What
is unusual is the exquisite
polish of their madrigal singing
for this is. in fact, madrigal
group and not q glee club.
Thus, so far as this reviewer
is concerned, everything that
came after the first two groups
of madrigals was anticlimatic.
But in the lovely unaccompanied
of Costeley. Morley, Ben
net, Byrd and Gibbons, the fresh
voices Of the young singers and
their almost instructive grasp Of
the style, was a treat to hear.
The Madrigal Singers also did
very well with Frederick Picket's
10 miniatures on poems by
Langston Hughes, a skillfully
written set. Somewhat less eff
fective was Ralph Hunters over
ly cute Five Nursery Rhymes. y
while the folk song arrange
ments were of only the. slightest
musical interest.

THE FAMILY COUNCIL
Cord-Ploying Husband
Puts Wife on Spot
THE PROBLEM

AhAN ANO0AA@ANA
MRS. r. WI refuse to go
to court.
BILL-Mother is greatly to-
blame.
THE DETAILS
MRS. n. Why husband has
left me after 40 years of married
life and he accuses me of having
turned our three children against
him.
From the very beginning. my
husband has gambled, but at
first it was only a few dollars a
week. During the last few years,
however, he has contributed al
most nothing to our home, but
has spent all his evenings play
ting cards in a gambling house.
Because of his addiction. I
was dependent on my children
for financial help. Our needs
were not great and they never
failed to bring their contributions
each week. 1t always panied me
to feel they were depriving them
selves because of my husbands
weakness. but / long ago gave
up any hope Of breaking him
Of his habit.
A few weeks ago, my husband
must have had an especially bad
run with the cards. He came
home one day and insisted I
give him the household money
the children had contributed. I
finally lost my resistance and
gave him the money. The chill
dren found out about it and they
tipped of the police to the gam
bling place, with the result that
my husband was arrested along
with others. Now I have lost
him, but my children insist /
should take him into court for
nonsupport.
This I cannot bring myself
to do.
BilI-Our mother is as much to
blame as our father, because
she has put up with too much.
Our father has a job and is
earning enough to support our
mother and provide for their
old age handsomely. He not only
fails to do so, he even steals the
money we contribute.
He managed to resist his habit
for years to the extent of rails
ing us as children when he had
no alternative, but mother re-
fuses to realize that she is to
blame now by giving him an al
tentative, at our expense.
We do not mind doing things
for our parents, but we don't
want to continue supporting a
gambling house. We are seriously
thinking of withdrawing our
support unless mother takes ac-
ton.
THE COUNCILS VIEWS
Mrs. r. w. is definitely unfair
to her children. She should not
confront them with a choice be-
tween supporting gambling and
withdrawing their support from
her. She should take their advice
and serve notice on her husband
that. unless he provides a reason
able amount of money for their
home. she will go to court.
The trouble here is that not
only is the husband surrendering
to his weakness, but the wife is
also doing so. If she puts up a
fight she will not only free her
children of an unfair burden, but

The fact that the children have
been loyal and have cheerfully
made sacrifices should not be held
