Star Music Critic


Paul Galloway this month
marks his goth anniversary
as organist and choirmas-
ter Of Washington Cathe-
dral; also he was awarded
last week an honorary doc
tor Of music degree by West
minister College in Fulton,
Mo. He Is one Of the most
distinguished musicians in
Washington, and one of the
worlds pre-eminent choir
directors. These facts are, !
suppose, signpoSts pointing
toward the propriety Of a
few words Of recognition in
print-especially since Call
away Is celebrating his 50th
birthday. I myself am not
quite the proper man for the
Job. for, having been a close
friend Of Galloway for IL
years, I know him too well to
write about him perfuncto-
rily, and not well enough to
draw a complete and rounded
likeness. There aren't many
who know him that well.
But If there can be no por-
trait, perhaps a few attitudes
and gestures are to be found

and companions Of one sort
or another. Paul Galloway is
first and last a musician.
The time he spends away
from his primary obsession Of
matchmaking can be said to
be devoted TO recuperation
and the rehabilitation neces-
sary for more music-making.
! do not mean that Galloway
of the podium or the organ
bench is colorless. Far from
1t. His secondary accomplish
ment Of conversation and
general sociability is as char
acteristic as his playing or
conducting. He dances a little
swims a little and plays cards
o little, and has few other
pastimes I have noticed. Not
wishing to take a bond Of fate,
he has remained single.
Choir Boy Training
Callaway's first occupation
Is the training Of the choir
boys who attend st. Adams
on q partial scholarship.
None Of the other teachers
Of these boys is in the same
relationship to them. The
Latin teacher, the chemistry
teacher and the others are
each concerned with the ed
ucation of their pupils, whose
papers or recitations have in
their eyes no intrinsic inter-
est or value. With Galloway,
the singing the choir boys
produce is his own quality
product. and he Is intensely
and personally concerned
with how 1t sounds. There

From AIusku

Alaska, our newest State,
sent an exhibition of more
than 20 paintings, which was
formally opened June 10 in
the lobby Of the Department
Of Commerce by Hon. E. L.
Bartlett, Senator Of Alaska,
with a brief welcome by Hon.
Lewis Strauss. acting Secre-
tary Of Commerce. Today is
the last Of this brief show
ing.
A foreword to the extensive
biographical catalogue is by
Darrell Kniffen, secretary.
treasurer of the Farthest
North Art Guild Of Fairbanks,
Alaska, under auspices Of
which the collection was
organized. The Al paintings
were selected from hundreds
OF entries.
Mr.. Kniffen says in part
that the exhibition is to show
us Alaska as seen through her
artists eyes, and to introduce
the artists themselves, who
are generally young. the
average age being under 40.
The great majority Of these
paintings are representa-
tional, the majestic scenery
and picturesque inhabitants
Of the far north lovingly
presented.
But only 8 Of the IL artists
are natives of Alaska. The
others went there from 20
States from coast to coast,
and most Of them had
art training in established
schools in their respective
States.

A Salute to Galloway

the most remarkable reci-
tails, both a cappella and
with orchestra, that we have
heard in Washington. For
Galloway, 1t was another out

conducting IL opera perform

involved vocal soloists or
choruses. He has conducted
several instrumental concerts
at Dumbarton Oaks, and at
