BY DAY THORPE

Rudolf Serkin Joined the
Budapest Quartet last night for
a full evening of music for piano
and strings. 1t was one of those
concerts which relatively few or
CARNATIONS other than the Buda-
pest can make come alive-a
collection of old favorites. The
"old favorite" is often excellent
music-the pieces by Schumann.
Mozart, and Dvorak played last
night are all masterpieces-but
it is cuStomarily encrusted by the
traditions of performance, that
is to say, made dull by super
If1ciality or distortion. The Buda-
pest Quartet has the happy
genius of making the most IA
miliar music sound fresh and
new, because even decades of
concerts have not dulled the
beauty Of the music in the ears
of the players themselves.
There is probably no pianist
who would be a more suitable
companion for the Budapest
Quartet than Rudolf Serkin. His
entire career has been devoted
to the classic and romantic liter
allure, and while the quartet has
not stayed in these domains ex-
clusively. it nevertheless is most
at home in them. Mr.. Serkin is
one of the finest 'pianists alive

Playing Their Way Through
the University of Maryland

Joan spent most of 1851 studying dancing
in New York, doing night club work in Canada
and, during the summer. in Ocean City. She
started at Maryland in the fall.
The following summer, the Hubbells formed
their brother-sister act and began working
together professionally. From June to August
they toured North Africa, Bermuda and the
Azores with Special Services entertaining
troupS.
When fall came, both decided to forget
school for while, and they toured with USO
shows through the Northeastern States. Then
they went to Alaska and Puerto Rico.
In 1858 they joined a New York troupe and
went to Japan, Korea Guam, the Philippines
and other Pacific islands to entertain service
men. They spent two months in Korea, a
month in Japan and five weeks in the islands.
They were in Hawaii on the way back to the
States when the Korean armiStice was signed.
I'VE had wonderful time on the tour"
Joan says. even though we did perform under
some difficult circumstances. Sometimes
my stage slanted and I would start turn
in an acrobatic dance on one end and wind up
at the other. At least 1 didn't fall through
the stage like one of our comedians. He did
a flip during his act, and when he landed
he went right through the boards
Sometimes had to dance on dirt stage
with the troops sitting around a hillside
They would back an ambulance up to a
temporary stage or clearing, and this was
our dressing room. Sometimes we had a
tent. We girls had to wash our hair in a
pail. Anyway, now l feel ! can dance
anywhere
When they returned, Tip went back to Blair,
and Joan studied dancing in New York and
did night club work until September 1854
when they both went to school at Maryland
The Hubbells live at 1929 Piney Branch
road NV.
Joan and Tip have an unusual method of
working their way through college, but it
beats selling books or magazine subscriptions
and provides more fun and more money, too

A TALENTED sister and brother are working
N their way through college with two
accordionS and four nimble feet
Joan and Tip Hubbell, University of Mary
land students, spend their summers on the
night club circuit to earn money for school
Both play the accordion, sing and do tap and
acrobatic dancing.
They are good enough to have been on the
same bill with Sarah Vaughan. Tony Bennett
Fran Warren and Somethin' Smith and the
RedheadS.
While at Maryland during the school year.
the Hubbells take night club, convention and
club dates in Baltimore or the Washington
area on week ends. This summer, their act
is scheduled for night clubs in Montreal
Quebec and Ontario, Canada.
Joan, %, will be a senior this fall while
Tip, 81, will be junior. She is majoring in
American Civilization while he studies an
artS-law course. Their father, Carter c. Hub
bell, is lawyer for the Interstate Commerce
Commission, and they plan to follow his
profession.
A busy schedule which includes being CO.
captain of the Maryland majorettes and
member of Kappa Delta Sorority. plus the
night club circuit, hasn't seemed to bother
Joan's studies. She is a straight student.
Both Hubbells got early starts in the enter
tainment business. Joan was dancing when
she was and soon taught her little brother
almost everything she knew. Both then took
dancing lessons.
Before they were in their teens, Joan and
Tip were dancers with an all-girl accordion
orchestra which entertained at nearby service
camps and hospitals. The youngsters learned
to play the accordion, then to enlarge their
repertoire of talents.
After Joan was graduated from Montgomery
Blair High in 1850 second scholastically in a
class of $685. she won talent contest at a
Washington night club and stayed there eight
weeks. Then she toured the South on one
night stands. playing the accordion and
dancing with an orchestra.

Swedish Music Gets Boost At
Stockholm International Festival

STOCkHOLM-(By Air Nall
Swedish composers and instru-
mentalists gained an appreciative
foreign audience at the thirtieth
annual convocation of the Inter
national Society for Contempor-
airy Music, VII c h was held in
June in Stockholm in connection
with the annual recurring Stock
holm Festival. All concerts, to
the greatest X tie n played by
Swedish musicians, were recorded
on tape, and some twenty radio
stations in Europe, as well as a
few in the United States, have
ordered these recordings, which
means that the major Swedish
orchestras and also the works of
some of Sweden's contemporary
composers will become known in
many parts Of the world. The for
eign critics who visited the Stock
holm Festival were generous in
their praise OF the Swedish inter-
probation of the foreign compo-
sitions, and Geoffredo Petrassi,
Italian president of the Societys
convocation, characterized the
Stockholm event as one of the
very best festivals of it's kind
ever staged. Several European
