The Washington Artists
Series of 6 one-man shows,
a new feature in the Cor
coran Gallery's program for
the season, was inaugurated
last Tuesday with the open
ing of an exhibition of re-
cent work by Mitchell jamie
son. Twenty-one paintings
and drawings, done last year
and this, are fruits of his
extensive travels in recent
years, in India, Japan. Italy
and South America. All works
were lent by the artist and
his Washington representa-
tive. the Franz Bader Gal
lery.
His IL paintings, most Of
them tempera on wood, are
neo-realistic, some with un-
usually beautiful colors. The
varied grain of the wood adds
much to the excellence Of
the compositions. Some of
the paintings can be taken
at their surface value. e.g.,
Calcutta. the River" a
large panorama from a height,
with crowds Of figures and
bullocks, in a setting Of
buildings and ships.
But the majority Of these
paintings seem to have some
esoteric symbolism, behind
the apparent subjects. In

Even though concerts by
the New York Philharmonic,
the Budapest String Quartet.
Leon Fleisher and other dis
tinguished artists are already
things of the past, the 1901
Washington music season
gets officially under way this
Tuesday evening.
The event-of course-is
the years first concert by
the National Symphony Or.
chestra under the baton Of
DR.. Howard Mitchell. Con-
stitution Hall will be aglitter
with celebrities, society, and
just plain music-lovers and
we will have the opportunity
to see what an augmented
size and a new union contract
hath wrought.
This year there will be 18
Constitution Hall pairs, the
customary Lisner matinees to
the number of nine, a Sat
urday Special Series" meta
morphosed out Of the former
pops" concerts in the OAR
Auditorium, five Thursday
evening concerts at the Uni
versity Of Maryland, and a
brand new Montgomery
County series of three played
in Rockville.
The soloists are a distin-
guished group, among them
being such names as Cli-
burn, Stern, Szering, Hess
and Francescatti-ail big
drawing cards-as well as
such firSt-rankers (if some
what smaller box Office
goodies) as Uppman, Hol-
lander, Price, Janis and
Pennario. Once again the
Boston and Philadelphia
Orchestras will visit briefly
in Constitution Hall; once
again the programs are art
fully studded with a few nov
elites and many familiar
masterworks.
Everything is at hand for a
brilliant advance. But will 1t
in fact occur?
We tend to assume too
easily that each successive
season will be better than
the previous one, that the
orchestra will sound better,
that the audiences will be
bigger, that the deficits will
be smaller. and that all

music-lovers will be happier.
1t isn't necessarily so.
Last year, to my ears, the
NSO sounded inferior to the
orchestra that played the
year before. Unless I was
much mistaken the rapport
between conductor and men
seemed shaky and there was
less personality" and in
dividuality to the groups
characteristic sound. What
had been for me a great
orchestra became merely q
good orchestra.
I do not mean to cry Cas-
sandra-my intent is merely
to point out that the auto
matte passage Of time does
not automatically guarantee
progress. And the entire
history Of performing Or
ganizationS is a demonstra-
ton of the fact-if it be
needed-that one cannot
rest once an apparent sum-
NIT is reached.
In music, the ultimate
perfection is never attained
and resting on ones reputa-
tion-alas, an all to easy
expedient-is the surest road
to obscurity.
What will happen with our
orchestra Nobody really
knows, and this is one Of
those things that makes each
new season something to
look forward to with an ad-
mixture Of eagerneSs and
trepidation.
BITS AND PIECES. {.
Samuel Feldman, who died
suddenly last Tuesday night
in the National Theater just
before taking his seat in the
orchestra pit, was responsible
for the National symphony

contains the original Russian

doughtily for what he thinks
is a better policy for the lead

Her other painting tech

largely in grays and white,

are his watercolor Foxes"

shaped tails are employed to
good effect. His "Antelopes"
