South hoped that West would

much easier to pick up the rest
Of the trumps.
Instead, however, West dis
carded a heart.
Why did West refuse to ruff?
For all West knew, South was
intent on discarding a diamond
from dummy. If West had only
small trumps, he would prob
ably run to prevent dummy
from discarding.
When West refused to ruff
1t seemed clear that he had q
trump trick to protect. South
therefore led the jack of clubs

The two-year-old Washing
ton Recorder Society last night
put on a highly colorful con-
cert of nine recorders, several
other instruments and a So
prano that was in every respect
distinguished and enjoyable.
AS one of the recorder play
ers recalled in his instructive
and tasteful remarks before
and during the concert, Hamlet
says pointedly that playing the
recorder is "as easy as lying. "
1t is true that to play a simple
melody somewhat out of tune
on a recorder is not difficult.
The comparative accessibility
of recorder technique is one of
the reasons for the tremendous
demand for recorders during
the last 20 or 80 years. But you
hear a recorder played really
we'll almost as infrequently as
you hear a link played we'll,
and nobody can play a link.
All the nine players of the
Recorder Society play we'll,
while two are true virtuosi. To
hear a large consort of record
ers play pieces like the Schmel-
ger sonata or the Franck
dances. works as gorgeous IN
their ways as the Schubert
octet, was a new experience for

book Of chords. He Just had
to be loved. and the best way
would be to entertain people.
He worked as a disc Jockey,
a studio assistant, and he got
on WBKB in Chicago and
sang The Blue-Tailed Fly"
The big break came on
January 80. 1857. The Kraft
Theater was casting a dra-
matte show for television.
They wanted someone to act
the part of a rock m roll
singer. Tommy Sands got the
part. 1t was only O one
nighter and he was not a
rock m roll singer, but he
sang "Teen-Age Crush" so
well that, in the morning, he
had three offers from motion
picture studios.
His aching ambition was to
be an actor, but no one
wanted him for anything but
rock n roll. Tommy did it
and did it well. He has been
trying to break away from it
ever since. He thinks he will
make the transition this
year. although as an actor
he talks too fast in a whis-
perry, staccato way - like
Cagney when he gets a busy
signal.
A year ago last Christmas
some friends took him
to young Nancy Sinatra's
Christmas party. Tommy
had fun, but Miss Sinatra
was interested in someone
else. In August, 1859, she
saw his act at the Cocoanut
Grove, and she liked him and
he liked her.
They've been going
steady" since November. This
autumn they will be married,
after Sands does a siX-month
hitch in the Air Force.

Vocalist Wants to Be an Actor

The kid came of the ele-
vator and into the suite of
rooms like a happy matador
dark, bushy-haired, grim
ming, as hipless as a teen
age girl. He's %, and he
earns 100000 a year singing

He's happy, and intelligent
and semi-literate. He reads
his own notices. His name is
Tommy Sands, a thin bundle
of tight wires. In November,
he will marry Miss Nancy
Sinatra in Beverly Hills. His
father-in-law-to-be is also
a singer of sorts.
The kid bounded into the
room and waved a kiss at
Miss Sinatra, who was sew
ing a torn pocket for one of
the boys in the act. She has
a sweet face topped by hair
bleached pale.
Her mother, a petite, at
tractive person who is dark
and friendly, was asking the
men of the Sands act would
anyone want coffee.
She agreed to come to Mi

Nancy wanted to be close to
him. 1t was an important
booking for Tommy because
he is breaking away from the
rock n roll singing and try
ing to sing material that will
appeal to adults.
The children who see his
act cheer wildly when he
satirizes Elvis Presley, and
the adults shrug when he
whispers I'll Be Seeing You
in All the Old Familiar
Places" The kid stands in
a spotlight, eyes closed, hand
reaching out, foot stomping

pose of his betters.
His father was a Russian,
an arranger and pianist for
Ted Lewis. The family lived
in Chicago and, by the time
the father decided to leave
the mother, little Tommy was
ready for a nervous break
down. He had it.
He has studied all the re-
ligions of the world, and has
none. He thinks he has one
in his head, but he cannot
explain it.

OLD-TIMER.
-
DEAR ABBY: I am the
wife of a career Army officer.
1t has taken me almost 20
years to accumulate nice
china, silver and household
appliances. Some of our Army
friends have spent their
money on expensive vacations
and heavy drinking, but I did
without temporary pleasures
because I wanted nice things.
My problem is that I have
been asked for the loan of
everything from my crystal
goblets to my electric mixer.
Some people don't care what
they ask for. Il have false
teeth, too, but I've never told
anyone for fear they'd ask to
borrow them Invariably
my things are returned brok-
en-, bent or out of order, so I
have taken to telling every
one, Il don't borrow and I
don't lend" Now I have the
reputation of being selfish and
stingy. What can I do about
it?
ARMY WIFE
It's not what you say, it's
the way that you say it. It's
possible to refuse requests
with diplomacy, finesse and
finality without once using
the word no. A little tact
can preserve your worldly
goods AND friendships from
breakage.

ariaS by Handel and Bach,
each with recorder obbligato.
Mention should be made not
only of the good continue play
ing of Helen Shaffer, but also
Of the beautiful little Sper-
hakke instrument she used.
Another mention should go to
the only contemporary piece
on the program - the Roy
Heaton Smith serenade, writ
ten in 1855. 1t is a tart and
racy little work, and should be
enjoyed by the public as much
as it is appreciated by recorder
players.
In ambition, style, organiza-
ton, execution and imagina-
ton, the whole evening was out
standing. When somebody asks
about the culture" of Wash
ington, such concert could be
cited as an eXemplar without
hesitation. There are many
facets of culture. and unas-
suming and genuine ones such
as this concert Of the WASH
ington Recorder Society may
be among the most important
Of all.
