NUMISMATIC NOTES
Cut Portions

There is an old saying
that it takes money to make
money. This was once liter
ally true in the West Indies.
The big Spanish dollars"
(pieceS of eight) sometimes
were cut up into portions to
make small change. Spanish
mints in the Americas also
made small silver including
/, 2 and 4 reales coins. De-
mand, however, for the big
pieces of eight g reales)
often was so great that issue
of the smaller coins was
limited.
When everyday business
suffered from a lack of small
silver, big coins were cut up
usually into wedge shapes
just as a pie is sliced. Less
frequently portions were cut
into irregular shapes which
usually were then identified
by a stamped mark.
Occasionally the big coins
were perforated by cutting
out the centers. The remain
ing rings often were referred
to as "holey" dollars. The
smaller center cut-out por-
tions generally represented
from 1/8 to 1/16 of the total
original weight.
Contrary to popular be-
lief such make-shif5 small

A Witch Story

Another London release is
a surprisingly sparkling thing
called La Bruja, described as
a zarzuela in three acts by
the Spanish light opera
champion, Ruperto Chapi.
This is a kind Of Spanish
fairy story dealing with a
witch and a hero who went
through stern tests to re-
store her youthful beauty.
Though labeled light opera,
the construction of the two
record opus often reaches
level of more serious music.
The melodic line through
out is thoroughly charming,
and the engineering is some
Of the best found anywhere.
The singing by Teresa Ber-
ganZa, Dolores Cava, Alfredo
KrauS and Carlos Munguia is
outstanding, and the orches-
tral and choral work rich
and warm.

Singers Galore

Here is an outstanding
group of records, dealing with
singers both Of the present
and past:
GERARD SOUZAY: The
baritone sings songs by De-
busy, Dalton Baldwin at the
piano - (Deutsche Grammo-
phon) - This record already
has scared high on the best
seller list. and with good
reason. Never has the gifted
French singer Of art songs
applied such delicate hues to
the poems of Bourget, Ver-
laine, Baudelaire and others.
1t is a record to prize.
AAFJE HEYNIS: The con-
tralto sings Bach's Cantata
No. ITO, Vergnuegte rub, be-
liebte seelenlust, and Bach
ariaS, with Szymon Goldberg
and Hans Gillesberger con-
Quoting the N therlands
Chamber Orchestra - (Epic)
- Miss Heynis Is described as
a real contralto, and that is
conceded after one hears her
deep, resonant tones. This is
one of Bach'S more listenable
cantatas, particularly in the
section that includes organ
and strings entwining with
the singers florid notes. The
ariaS are fine, too.
JUSSI BJOERLING: The
late tenor sings arias from
Cavalleria Rusticana, La Gio-
conda, L'Arlesiana, Girl of
the Golden West, Fedora, A
Masked Ball. Manon Lescaut,
Tosca. Turandot and the
Verdi Requiem - (RCA Vic
tori - This Is the second
fine record Victor has re-
leased since the death Of
Bjoerling these mostly
dramatic excerpts taken from
the last three years of his
life. They will be loved by all
who admired his way with an
Italian aria.
NETANIA DAVRATH: The
soprano sings Moussorgsky-
Songs of Dances of Death,
The Nursery Song Cycle, The
He-Goat and Hopak Van
guard) Our admiration of
Miss Davrath's way with folk
songs receives a big boost with
these. They vary from darkly
Russian to charming light
songs (The NurSery). Erik
Werba gives good piano sup
port.
BENIAMINO GIGLI: A re-
cital by the immortal tenor,
including popular arias from
I Pagliacci, Rigoletto. Tosca,
La Boheme, L'Elisir d'amore,
Aida, Manon, Carmen, I Pes
catori de perle. Serse. Agnus
Del of Bizet and Faust-(An-
geD - This is another of the
Great Recordings Of the Cen
tury series. 1t presents Gigli
mostly as he sounded in the
early 1905 right after his
Metropolitan Opera successes.
A great voice now stilled, and
3 record all tenor fans should
have.
RUSSELL OBERLIN: The
countertenor sings canatas by
Telemann, Buxtehude and
Handel, with Alexa d er
Schneider, violin; George
Ricci, cello; Bernard Krainis,
recorder, and Douglas Will
liams, harpsichord - (Decca)
This is a superb account
ing of probably the most out
standing countertenor today,
in music that is rich and
moving, and couched in its
original form with this quar-
tet of instrumentalists. Su-
perb sound.

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. ]. WEDDERBURN
Contributing Writer


Tomorrow is one day that
picture taking is an absolute
must" And today's color
films insure better color snap
shots than ever before. This
is due to better lighting and
faster films. So ready your
self for a shooting schedule
of the entire family celebrat-
ing our holiest Of Holy days
Christmas.
Children, of course, have the
most fun and should get the
lions share Of attention. You
can start by catching their
expressions as they see the
Christmas tree and the gifts
for the first time. Other shots
of them-opening presents,
playong with new toys and
having a general funfest-
will suggest themselves to you
as the day progresses.
Shoot For Expressions
Then the holiday feast, with
all the family seated at the
table, is another scene you
surely will wish to record on
film. Take scenes of the fes-
tive board before, during and
after the meal is over. And
don't forget to shoot for ex-
pressionS, for this is the very
essence Of pictorial success.
With the new and fast
color films you needn't worry
about glaring lights directed
right at the faces Of your
subjects that might cause
them to squint or turn away
from your camera be it a
