BruziIiun Bosch

The imaginary monsters
which are the subjects of
drawings and prints by Mar
cello Grassmann of Brazil at
the Pan American Union are
closely akin to those of
Hieronymus Bosch, 10th CEN
tury Flemish painter. More
than 80 drawings. Autographs
and WoodcutS reveal the fer
tility of Grassmann's imagi-
nation, made concrete by his
competent technique.
But whereas Bosch's fright
ening apparitions were de-
tails in fantastic landscapes,
representing such subjects as
The Temptation of st. An
thony." Grassmann's mon
sters are presented for them
selves. They are the ingre-
dents of nightmares.
A native of Sac Paulo, now
in his mid-thirtieS, Grass
mann was self-taught, so sue
cessfully that he has won a
number of important and
substantial prizes in Brazil
and Europe; and is repre-
sented in museum collections
in Latin America and the
United States.
This exhibition, which
concludes this afternoon, !
to 5, is his first man
show in this country.

Mention music libraries to
the average Washington mu-
sic lover and what does he
think Of? The Library of Con-
gress, of course.
But there is another excel
lent music library in town
which, for the ordinary per-
son interested in music, has
considerably more to offer
than the world-renoWned in
stitution on Capitol Hill.
The Library of Congress is
a paradise for the scholar,
who comes from thousands of
miles away to avail himself of
its unique treasures and re-
search facilities.
But suppose you want to
take home an opera score in
order to follow a performance
on the radio? Suppose you
want to read the latest biog-
raphy of your favorite COM
poser as you relax in your
patio? Suppose you want to
hear a recording of the SYM
phony that Howard Mitchell
is going to play when the sea-
son starts?
The Library of Congress
will be of small help to you.

paid any heed to speak of
nowadays, but both turn out
to be absorbing and well
worth notice, thanks partly,
no doubt, to Sir Thomas
beautiful performances.
The Beecham e5pousal of
Delius has been bearing
fruit. Mozart, however, aside
from the Abduction from the
Seraglio, has had little at
tention from Sir Thomas
lately, so one may hope
that a recording will result
from his scheduled appear
ances this summer leading a
Glyndebourne Magic Flute.
"StOky" Keeps Busy
White-maned Leopold Sto-
kowski, who reputedly is at
least 78. would unquestion-
ably resent as much as Sir
Thomas any intimation that
he is approaching the stage
Of inactivity. No such inti-
nation is detectable. happily,
in the recordings the erst-
while Philadelphia conductor
has been turning out.
"Stoky" still is able to
make any orchestra he is
leading sound like his own,
too. On one Capitol disc he
conducts the French National
Radio Orchestra in DebusSy's
Iberia, Ravel's Alborada del
GracioSo and Ibert's Escales.
On another it is the London
Symphony's turn in DebuSsy's
NocturneS and Ravel's Rap
sodie Espagnole. An Everest
disc, using the summer New
York Philharmonic (the "Sta-
dium Symphony Orchestra Of
New York"), offers vivid read
ings of Tchaikovsky's Fran
cesca da Rimini and a neg
lected tone poem. Hamlet.
Still another Stokowski
venture. on Capitol, is a
Houston Symphony perform
ance of Carl Orff'S uninhib-
tied choral work with pseudo
medieval overtones, Carmina
Burana. In all these cases
the stereo editions, in partic-
ular. reveal StokowSki as his
usual dynamic self, always
with an ear for spectacular
sounds.
There are, Of course, other
conductors pushing almost as
far ahead in years who are
active record-makers-Anser-
met. for instance, now near

utions bulk large in the cata-
log. Like their slightly senior

is superior to its predecessor.
Eleven artists are showing 35
prints and drawings, and 5
sculptorS also have small
groups, which arrangement
gives a better idea of each
artists work than would a
single item.
Charles Todd's semi
abstract beautifully finished
sculptures in wood and metal,
impressed me as the best
group. The heads of his
sharply attenuated figures
such as the large "Pas de
Deux" are mere prongs,
which throw emphasis on the
expressive poses and geS-
lures. Willard Stone has a
group of naturaliStic sculp-
lures, among them an appeal
ing figure of a girl, and a
bas-relief of buffaloes whose
rich color is yellow pine
burned with a torch. Minnie
Barr little Mountain Musi-
clan" is the best of her group.
OF the graphic artists De-
lilah Pierce of D. C. Teachers
College provided a surprise
for me. Known for her high
keyed abstract paintings, she
shows here besides an alb
stract etching of linear con-
trasting shapes, several strong
naturaliStic lithog1 apis of
sea gulls and coast subjects.
Eugene Frederick's trio of
etchings and Autographs is
most varied, with a particu-
larly characterful capture of
an old woman. Abstract
etchings by Mimi Rose good
compositions, and Evelyn
Page (rhythm and movement
in her Jazz PhantasyD,
Alicia Ostricher's naive treat
ment of Biblical subjects,
Marie SkoraS WoodcutS in
color CFiShermen" the best
and Arnold WaSserman's con-
tact prints from lithographic
crayon portrait heads, afford
plenty of variety. James
Wells of Howard University's
art faculty has one of the
largest groups, in several
media and semiabstraction.

Salome" outstanding, convey

Star Record Critic

Star Record Critic
Record collectors are lucky.
Inf1rmities of age may cur
tail concert-giving, but rec
ord making goes on. Some
of our most celebrated con-
ductors continue inscribing
their musical signatures for
posterity-and record buyers
from semi-retirement.
Pierre Monteux, now a
venerable 85, appears to be
enjoying himself retracing
familiar paths, both musi-
cally and geographically. In
Boston he has recorded in
the last year or two the three
late Tchaikovsky Sympho-
MES and Stravinsky's Pc
trouchka. In London he has
done Daphnis and Chloe,
Scheherazade, the Sibelius
Second symphony and
Brahms violin concerto with
Henryk Szeryng, an out
standing newcomer.
There was time for a trip
to Paris to do LIE Sacre du
PrintempS. which the French
veteran was leading there
almost half a century ago.
There was also a trip to
Vienna, to tape mellow
sounding performances of
Haydn's Clock and Surprise
Symphonies.
StereO Enhances
These are all attractive
recordings, but DaphniS and
Petrouchka (both of which
Monteux led in their pre-
mieres, in 1912 and 1911.
respectively are especially
outstanding. The readings
are obviously those of an
expert, and the stereo ver-
sions show the rich colors
and instrumental effects to
brilliant advantage. The
Daphnis is on a London disc,
the Petrouchka on Victor.
Bruno Walter, now 83, has
completed a remake of the
Beethoven symphonies. and
has been turning to other
standard repertoire. Brahms
fourth, issued by Columbia,
hints that a stereo Brahms
cycle is in the offing. A pair
of Mozart concertos with
Francescatti and Dvorak's
New World symphony up
hold the Walter repute for
rich, glowing, unhurried
sound.
DR.. Walters activity is now
mostly confined to the re-
cording studio. One hopes
it is being put to good use.
1t would be stimulating to
look forward to some Mailer,
and perhaps some Schu-
mann, once another Walter
forte.
Sir Thomas Beecham, at
81, is fighting gout, but his
enthusiasm seems undi-
minished. Recent manifesto
tions include not only the
magnificent dozen Hayden
London symphonies (half in
Stereo) and The Seasons but
some typically out-of-the-
way Beechamiana.
List and Schubert
Schubert's charming third
symphony. coupled on a
Capitol disc with the fifth,
is one enticing sample. An
other is an Angel pairing of
Brahms dignified Song of
Destiny, handsomely sung
Calthough in English) by the
Beecham choral society, and
a List setting of the 18th
Psalm, for chorus with
tenor soloiSt.
A truly magnanimous
Beecham gesture is involved
in a pair of Capitol discs
bearing Liszt's Faust Sym
phony and the tone poem
Orpheus. Neither work is

NEWS OF MUSIC
D. c. Library Offers
Invaluable Facilities


place for you to go is the
music division of the District
Of Columbia Public Library,
where a first-class collection
Of scores, books, and records
is at your service.
The devoted staff is cour-
teouS, efficient and very help
full. 1 know, because one of
the readers advisers hap
pens to be my wife, and I
can truthfully state that
have always had the red car
pet rolled out for me when
ever I visited the place.
Because of this fact, I
might perhaps be considered
someWh;It biased, but I can
assure eny potential visitor
to the OCPL music division
that my case is not unique.
In my years of talking to
musical people in Washing
ton, 1 have never heard any,
thing but praise for the
hard-working staff, and the
only complaint 1 have ever
heard from them is that too
few people make use of their
wonderful facilities for
learning about, enjoying, and
hearing music.
The DCPL music division
even has a few places where
it can beat the Library Of
Congress at its own game.
Kinder Collection
For instance, when the IL
brary of scores and parts as
sembled by Hans Kinder,
the first conductor of the
National Symphony Orches-
ira. was given to an institu-
ton after his death, the
DCPL was chosen as its
home, not the Library of
Congress.
The Kinder collection, a
large and representative one,
is meant for use. 1t is the
solid rock upon which many
of our amateur orchestras
stand. Without these circu-
lating scores and parts,
Washington would be consid-
erably poorer in the sound of
music, and fewer people by
far would learn to know a
symphony from the inside.
Now, DCPL has acquired a
new treasure. a fact which
somehow or other escaped the
eagle eye of commentators
on the local music scene when
the acquisition was announ-
ced some six weeks ago.
Thanks to the generosity
of a public-spirited citizen,
the library of the late Ev-
erett Stevens, widely re-
spected piano teacher and
we'll known composer Of
music for youngsters, will be
available in the DCPL music
division as a memorial to its
owner, who died prematurely
last year at the age of 43.
Rich in Piano Music
The collection consists of
over 500 items, including
books, sheet music, phono-
graph records and manu-
scripts. 1t is rich in the piano
music of contemporary COM
poSers, Bach. and List. Mr..
Stevens was especially de-
voted to List, whose music
is now coming back into
fashion after many years Of
unWarranted neglect, and one
of the rarer items is a record
ing of the E fat Piano Con-
certo played by Stevens with
the Peabody Conservatory
Orchestra under Gustave
Strube.
Mr.. Stevens began writing
music in 1927 as a tot of II,
and no less than 88 of his
compositions were published
in his lifetime. The gift to
the library includes his per-
sonal file of all his own COM
positions, among them the
manuscript score of his piano
concerto, performed by Hans
Kinder and the National
Symphony Orchestra with

in the Tenth street and
Constitution avenue entrance,
the exhibition has nearly 180
works by 70 artists of 18
States, the District of Co.
lumbia and Canada, count
ing a few uncatalogued
items, and the memorial ex-
hibition of beautifully bound
books by the late George A.
Scheirer. His gold and
colored tooling in fine floral
designs and such realistic
details as the raven on the
binding Of a little volume of
Poe, show how well this
artist had mastered his
medium.
Mary Elizabeth Kings
portrait of a winsome little
girl with her doll received
the Elizabeth Muhlhofer
award for the best painting.
The Minor Jameson land
scape painting award was
bestowed on Martha Moffett
Bache'S Gloucester Winter"
realistically depicting a snow
storm over the harbor.
Several honorable mentions
were given: To Sander Bodo
for his superb engraved
portrait of an old man: to
Merle Foshag for her moody
gray day landscape in water
color, EARLY SPRING" and
to Gertrude Little for her
watercolor portrait on ivory
of a pretty blond woman.
The last mentioned is what
most people probably still
think of, in connection with
the term miniature" But
as demonstrated in this an
nual, artists have long been
making miniatures in many
media, as indicated by other
prize winners, the Scheirer
memorial collection, an d
various works in the show.
GraphicS Shown
Marian U. M. Lanes illumi-
nations glow like jewels with
their exquisitely colored and
gold floral borders. Besides
the Scheirer books, there are
several by Annette Metcalfe,
the society's president; two
of her group are only a few
inches in dimensions.
Outstanding among the
miniatures on ivory is Glen
ora Richards portrait of a
blond baby boy. Other water
colorS I liked are those by
Frances Hungerford Combs,
Edward S. Harrison, Furman
JohnSon's bent old man on
a windy road; Helen Kirt-
lands oil, a simple modern
still life; paStels by Anne
Aspen (mothers and chill
dren) and Lillian Paca (sea-
gulls): encaustics of the
M donna by Marguerite
Mum, and Louis Stern's
sharply realistic gouache of a
broken window.
Among many miniature
graphics, I liked drypoints
by Charlotte Howard, Anne
Jouard and Chester LEIGH;
woodcuts by James D,
Havens, Clarence Sherdon,
and Jeanne Whitmore; block
prints by Karol Kowalski;
pen drawings by Eunice
Haden and Isabel Mahaffie;
pencil drawings by Ethel
Foster and Edward Rosen-
field, and monotypes by Pearl
Dee Church, distractions
with interesting textures.
The best of the little sculp-
lures are Eleanor Cox's pet
Bird" Ruth Kotch's slate
carving and Harvey Moore's
bronze rooster, Elizabeth
Powers abstract bronze, Ce-
ella Rogers alabaster Sun
Down." Howard Safford's S

Richard Shorten's lead

Among several copper-on-

Mr.. Stevens, a group of his
friends presented the DCPL
music division with the COM
plete edition of Chopin's
works edited by Paderewski
just published in Poland, as
we'll as other useful volumes.
Mr.. Stevens friends were
all over the country, and the
donors of the additional
items came from many States,
among them California. New
York, Massachusetts,, North
Carolina, Virginia, Louisiana,
Arizona, New Jersey, Ne

good people, as we'll as the

their gifts to be a living
