what blunted by 'echoing
acoustics. Ormandy (Colum-
bia) focuses overly on building
handsome Sound-which the
technicans have not quite
transmitted perfectly. 1t has
a slight edge.
The unfinished" symphony
is on the oversize of both the
Boston and Cleveland discs.
Sells again has the bite. The
Ormandy coupling is Mozart's
40th, and it is first class. He
ought to try it more often.
A rehearing of ToScanini's
recording of the fifth, Incl
dentally, raised the question
of whether all this isn't aca-
demic. 1t still seems to set a
standard.
Victor has just reissued the
Toscanini edition of all nine
Beethoven symphonies at cur
rent lower prices. Sell, Munich
and Ormandy all probably
own it.
Won Karajan has led a new
Angel coupling of the eighth

impressive in various ways.
The ninth has an especially
attractive vocal quartet, headed
by Elisabeth Schwarzkopf.

Columbia Records original
cast LIP set Of the BroadWay's
THE Most Happy Fella" makes
real record news, for it con-
tains not only the entire mu-
steal score, but also the dia-
logue.
This fabulous production is
enriched with a terrific Frank
Loesser score and a superb
cast that includes Robert
Weede, 10 Sullivan. Art Lund,
Susan johnson, Mona Paulee
and Shorty Long. It's a Broad
way musical, but in another
sense you could almost call it
opera-anyway you want it,
it's delightful.
The handsomely bound set
includes three 12-inch LIPS
and an informative. illustrated
booklet. 1t takes almost three
hours to play the set, and it's
worth every minute of the
time.
Among the various musical
numbers are a great many

RICHARD III

The aural part of the Olivier
motion-picture Richard III"
on three Victor discs, carries
more impact than I had ex-
pected. Not being able to see
the battling at Bosworth is a
handicap, of course, and Oil
vier'S own Characterization
which has an important visual
aspect-alSo loses by not being
watched. Shakespeare's words
sometimes get lost in the
drama, too IA flaw, but less
Of one, also in the theater).
But enough comes through to
make one quite willing to play
the six sides through at a sit
ting, and sometimes an arm
chair-grippipg one. William
Walton's score contributes
more than negligibly, too.
A Richard" expressly for
discs could doubtless be done
better, but until one is, this
will serve Shakespeare better
than passably. 1t will serve
best, of course, for those who
have seen the movie.
The treatment usually re-
served for operas and occa-
sionally Shakespeare has been
accorded by Columbia to the
current Broadway musical
THE Most Happy Fella." Ac-
tually this isn't so far out of
line, for some of the critics
have practically been calling
the hit Frank Loesser show an
opera, and it has Robert
Weede. who has sung at the
Met, as its star.

By JAMES G. DEANE

A recent article in High
Fidelity magazine reported
that ToScanini is occupied
these days with helping tech
nicians work over unissued re-
cordings. presumably in the
process of getting them issued.
These are recordings made
during NBC Symphony broad
casts. Apparently there are a
good many of them available
in the NBC-Victor archives,
which Toscanini's legion of
admirers won't mind at all.
What they mind, no doubt, is
the necessity of waiting.
One has newly arrived-a
performance of Berlioz'
Harold in Italy" broadcast
on November 20, 1858, during
Toscanini's last season. The
recording gives testimony to
why Jacques Barzun, the avid
and erudite Berliozan, has
written so admiringly of Tus-
canini's Berlioz performances.
This one is marvelously crisp
and animated. The finale
fairly crackles.
Carlton Cooley, now the
Philadelphia Orchestra's first
chair man, is the excellent
viola soloist. But for a few
Grant coughs, you would
never know the recording was
from a broadcast. The sound
is much better, in fact, than
what came over MICS low
fidelity New ork-Washing-

Gath, 25th, 26th
Apparently the number of
Beethoven fifth symphonies in
the catalogue (there were only
% last ChriStmas) has been
deemed insufficient, for the
orchestras of Boston, Cleve-
land and Philadelphia all have
contributed new ones.
There must be a special
challenge in this middle, most

Perhaps the challenge consists
in its being so familiar

make me sad and ashamed. I am
a loyal American, and out of
loyalty I observe that in a few
ways we are inferior to other peo-
pies in certain standards and
practices. Never are we inferior,
I am convinced, in our ideals. Per-
haps because we have been nur-
tured on such high ideals as are
expressed in our Constitution and
Bill of Rights, the failure in uni
versal practice seems the more
severe.
Be this as il may. the point I
want to make is that knowing the

vides a basis for judging and
weighing the strengths and weak
nesses Of ones own. One knows
where, we are. in the world. What
is good. is good for reasons sake.

emotion. What is less good is ap-

there was little, if any, evidence

Many people thought she had

But when a dozen lambs were

great hunt was staged. while
women and children stuck close

The Waccamaw country was

tupelo trees, and snarling wild
animals fought with tooth and

A few scattered log cabins,
surrounded by small clearings,
Eotted the pine ridges where a
little farming and gardening was
carried on.
The woods was everybody's
pasture where livestock had free
range, and every settler had a

bears. bobcats and cougars also
had the run of the great forest
and sometimes they made seri-
