A group show at Henri

street. Alexandria, encores
with new paintings. several
artists who had one-man
shows there last season
(Zambelis, Kenji Ambo, Rob-
ert White) and introduces a
few newcomers. outstanding
among whom is Daniel Mis-
trik, whose work was reviewed
here when he established his
studio in Bethesda last year.
His portraits and still life
are beautifully painted, and
there is variety in his in
teriors and landscapes with
figures. Another newcomer
is Melvin Miller. whose natu-
ralistic painting of a row of
early American houses, should
delight antiquarians.
Robert White, who will
have a one-man show this
month at the Lobster Pot
Gallery in Nantucket, is rep
resented with several hand
some new trompe l'oeil still

color combinations and
painstaking execution that
characterizes all his work.

DO you like the Weber F

answered. We'll, you'll have
a chance to hear it next April
when Dick Bales and I go to
work OF it in a National GAL
lery concert" replied Emer-
son, probably smiling in back
of all that cigar smoke. The
incident brought to mind how
many pieces that were great
favorites 20 or 25 years ago
now find none so poor to do
them honor. A July Sunday
morning may be a fitting time
to conjure up some of these
old ghosts, not from records
but from memory. There may
be, also, some music that has
been rescued from oblivion
over these decades.
The Weber Konzertstuck is
a wonderful programatic pi-
ano concerto that was a
staple of most symphony Or
cheStras during the late '20s
and '30s. You can recall the
theme of the march by think

On Tax Plan

Carl L. Shipley, chairman of
the Districts Republican State
Committee, has asked G.. o. P.
colleagues to join in support
Of a District tax program
which more equitably lays the
burden on all who benefit from
municipal services"
Mr.. Shipley, in a memoran-
dunn to members of the Repub-
lican State Committee, asked
for consideration of proposals
to:
1. Oppose all further new or
increased taxes. except sales
tax.
2. Oppose any further in
crease in the District budget,
unless the money becomes
available without additional
tax increases.
3. Urge Congress TO make an
annual payment to the Dis
trict in lieu of taxes that the
Federal Government would pay
If it were a private taxpayer.
4. Urge Congress to take all
necessary steps to provide fair
play and equal opportunity for
all.
Mr.. Shipley asked members
of the committee to vote on the
four proposals.
Taxes" he said, should be
based on all who benefit from
our municipal services. Taxes
should be based on ability to
pay, but not laid so heavily on
larger Taxpayers that they
move out of the District 1.

Besides these, there are
miniature animals, fish and
birds carved of peach and
apricot pits which may ap-
pear to be trifies but are
quite the contrary. The pa
tience and delicate touch
needed in addition to knowl-

ated with silver beads and

board of directors of the
D. C. Chapter, American
Artists Professional League,
has grown rapidly and has
held several exhibitions an
nually. Currently is its mem
bers' juried show at Collec-
tors Gallery, 1928 Wisconsin
avenue NV, through July
II.
Unfortunately, this show
does not measure up to what
can be expected of this or
ganization. Twenty-Five oils
and watercolorS by as many
artists include too large a
proportion of students work.
About one-fourth of the ex-
hibitorS were represented in
the exhibition by Ralph de
Burgos' students at Muth's
last month, with some of the
same paintings. AS students
work, they were commended
here; but as part of a pro-
fessional exhibition, they fall
short.
Sole Juror
Most Of the officers and
board members of the league
are missing from the show,
for which Omar Darlington
was sole juror. AS a consci-
entiouS artist, he presumably
did his best with the works
submitted. But If these are
the cream of the entries, one
can only conclude that some
of the league artists did not
submit their best work, which
is unfair to the gallery. Since
many galleries take a three
month >siesta in Washington,
those, including Collectors
Gallery, which continue to
present shows every three or
four weeks, should be en-
couraged by exhibitors.

Periodically one is re-
minded that the music heard
in present-day concert halls
and opera houses is only a
fractional quantity. For
every symphony or opera
performed nowadays, dozens
have been condemned to
silence. Musical history is
crowded with forgotten dere-
licts.
Neglect, of course, is not
always deserved. 1t can
hardly be assumed that none
of Handel's IS or so operas
is worth hearing just be-
cause they are ignored by the
Metropolitan. for example.
The Met, it is true, may not
be the most practicable place
to look for a Handel re-
vival. But there are good
reasons to think a round of
Handelian opera would be
more than a waste of effort.
Anyone curious on this
score may turn to a L'Oiseau
Lyre-London recording which
gives a glimpse of Handel as
a stage craftsman. The work,
a masque entitled AciS and
Galatea composed apparently
in 1918 and Handel'S first fer
the stage in English, enjoyed
great popularity in Handels
lifetime.
Comic Villain
AS drama Acis and Galatea
is tame, to put it mildly.
The libretto. attributed to
John Gay. has to do with the
unfortunate intervention of
an amorouS giant named
Polyphemus "a baSSo) in the
billing and cooling of Acis "a
tenor and Galatea "a So
prano), the outcome being
rather upsetting to Acis in
particular. tNo David and
Goliath turnabout III this
case, uphappily for the hero).
There is no reason to think
that Handel was under any
illusions about the poten-
tialities of this plot, how
ever. 1t was just an excuse
for making music; actually,
it is evident that Handel had
his tongue in his cheek. Poly
phemus is really a classical
cousin to the comic-villain
Osmin of Mozart's Abduction
from the Seraglio. His blust-
cry air, 20 ruddier than the
cherry" is given a perfect
rib-tickling touch by the OBJ
bligato of a high-pitched re-
corder-no one could have
intended this to be taken
seriously!
There are also an amusing
trio, a delightful duet and
other engaging pieces in this
paradoxically lively, archaic
score which Sir Adrian Boult,
Joan Sutherland, Peter Pears,
Owen Brannigan as the ir-
restible Polyphemus, and
David Galliver refurbish with
unexpected vitality in this
English-made recording. For
the muSicologically inclined,
alternate versions of 20 rud-
dier than the cherry" are
offered with a treble recorder
and the piccolo-like Sopra-
nino recorder, it being uncer-
tain which was favored by
the composer. This counters
the fact that the prorducerS
have sanctioned some cuts.
Assorted AriaS
The horizon toward which
vocal Handel recordings could
proceed is hinted by several
other recent ventures. Miss
Sutherland, who in Acis and
Galatea reveals herself as a
most appealing and accom-
plished Handelian soprano.

and now is reserved entirely
for children. "Saint-Saens
is brilliant young composer
cursed with a complete lack
Of inexperience," remarked
Berlioz. 1t is true that Saint
Saens' sickness, know-how
and unqueStioning sufficiency
make him seem a bit super
f1cial to us, but let's make
an exception of the Carnival
Of Animals" and the Bee
thoven Variations for two
pianos.
Thinking of two pianos,
who doesn't remember the
wonderful variations of
Schumann for two pianos
and two horns? This warm.
romantic piece was once as
familiar as the piano quintet.
Bauer and GabrilowitSch
used to play it con amore,
and were initiated at far re-
move by every piano team in
New York.
Franck is dead today, ex-
cept for the E major organ
chorale, but I suppose nobody
laments the loss of the D
minor symphony or the D
major quartet, the latter the
longest of all genuinely dull
works of chamber music.
I have overlooked the
Schubert Unfinished" Sym
phony which, together with
the Beethoven Fifth, was for
thousands the beginning and
end of classical music two
decades ago. The Beethoven
is still with us, but we have
tired of the Schubert, to me
personally always one of the
few unsurpassed pieces for
orchestra.
The list of pieces once ex-
tremely popular and now no
longer heard includes much
that isn't missed and much
that. we mourn. The cate
CORY is up to you, as is many
an addition-"Schoenberg'
"Verklaerte Nacht," Critics
THE Pleasure Dome of Kub-
la Khan" the songs of Rey-
naldo Hahn and those of
Clara Edwards, the Mendels-
Sohn piano concertos, the
Faust" Symphony of List,
the MacDowell piano con-
certo and that of Grieg, the
italian Serenade" of Wolf.
What's New?
Now, on the other hand,
what's new in music? Among
individual names, Scarlatti is
probably the most conspic-
uous. Twenty years ago he
was known only as the COM
poser of three little soma
taS" which appeared over and
over again as the first group
of a piano recital. Since then
the pioneering work of Kirk
patrick and Valenti has
shown Scarlatti to be not
only one of the most prolific
but also one of the most
varied and profound of all
keyboard composers.
Schultz and Josquin, little
more than names in histories
in the recent past, now reach
an overwhelming audience.
1t can be fairly said that
to the concert going public
the door to all music written
prior to the 18th century
has been opened only re-
Gently, and that the revolu-
ton in taste and knowledge
initiated by the phonograph
record has now been joined
by countless live perform
ances.
The harpsichord has taken
its place beside the piano in
our musical life; the New
York Pro Musica beside the
Budapest Quartet.
When I studied classic
counterpoint out of Kitson's
textbook at Yale in 1888, I
had never heard single
piece of classic vocal music,
so far as I can now recall.

bled that what I was being
taught bore little resemblance

IN II

Montana skin divers will be
allowed to shoot three types of
rough fish with spear guns start
ing May 22s opening day of the
1860 fishing season, under regula-
tons adopted by the fish and game
commission. Rough fish became
legal targets for spear gunners for
the first time last year after a law
passed by the 1859 legislature.
On the west side of the divide,
in waters designated by the COM
mission, suckers and squawfish can
be taken. On the east side of the
divide, in designated waters
suckers and carp may be speared
The commission emphasized that
such spearing of fish, with rubber
or spring propelled spear guns, i:

1000 Boats Are
Licensed In Mont.

Nearly 1000 boats of over ten
horsepower have been registered
and licensed by the Montana Fish
and Game Department since July,
1859. Five counties accounted for
almost half of the states motor
boats. F1athead county led the
state in registrations with 833;
Cascade was second with 803;
Missoula third with 651 registra-
lions, followed by Lewis and
Clerk with 586 and Yellowstone
with 500.
Of the total number of 6,785
registered boats, 6,388 were the
cupboard type vessel and 397 were
inboard types. Inasmuch as only
a few years ago there were very
few boats in any of Montana'S
lakes or rivers, these Figures show
a startling increase in numbers of
boats in the state indicating that
boating is rapidly gaining in
popularity as a family sport.
With regard to length, which is
a fair indication of value, AGO
were under 16 feet; 2,247 were
between Is and 26 feet; 43 were
between 26 and 40 feet while only
four were between 40 and 65 feet.
Only one boat was over SIS feet,
which is the largest vessel in the
state and operates on Flathead
Lake.
Another breakdown showed that
only nine were commercial pas
senger vessels, As were livery boats
and "a licenses were issued to out
of-state owners. All the rest were
issued to Montana pleasure boat
owners. In addition, there were 81
dealer licenses issued for demon
stration purposes.
