MENTAL HEALTH REPORT
Many Saved From AsyIums

Today that same hospital

patient. and has only half as
many patients.
There and in others of the
Nations best mental hospitals,
70 to IS per cent of the pa
tients go home within three
months-to-a-year after admis-
sion. And this same hospital
now spends only half as much,
for total treatment, for every
patient who RECEIVERS, due to
the shorter stay.
Only 20 Pct. Benefit
The dolorous rub is that
only 20 per cent of patients
in all the Nations mental
hospitals get the benefits of
such effective treatment.
This includes drugs and in

This country's ever-grow-
ing interest in Shakespeare
an theater is manifested in
a new American recording of
AS You Like 1t which Caed-
mon Records has produced as
a 3-record album.
If this is not the first
Caedmon presentatio n
through the Shakespeare Re-
cording Society. such enter
prises still must rank as
rarities. So it is good to re-
port that the production
compares favorably with
those turned out in England.
In some ways 1t is superior.
For one thing. the album
contains a booklet of the
play in easy-to-read form,
which many listeners will
enjoy following. The editors
say the text follows closely
that used in Shakespeare's
own playhouse.
We found the pacing Of
the action, directed by Peter
Wood, to be smooth and most
of the lines easily under
stood. Just enough sound-ef-
fects are injected to bring to
life the pastoral or forest
scenes. The play itself, Of
course, is a favorite with
many. What high school stu
dent will ever forget Jaques'
famous monologue: "All the
worlds a stage?"
The consistently good cast
includes Max Adrian as
Jaques, Stanley Holloway as
the clown Touchstone, Keith
Michel as Orlando, Vanessa
Redgrave as Rosalind, Derek

NUMISMAT|C NOTES
Counterfeit
Is Death

Counterfeiting is as old as
money itself. The American
colonists in Pennsylvania
were warned of it's dangers
as early as 1927. Lawbreakers
were threatened with the
gallows. However, the more
usual punishment was i'm
prisonment, lashes. standing
in the pillory or having an
ear or two cropped off.
During the Revolutionary
War, when confidence in the
Continental currency was
shaky enough at best, the
British conceived the idea of
undermining it still further
by flooding the country with
counterfeitS. After Gen. Howe
took New York in 1776 that
city became the chief source
of the British counterfeit
notes, which we're. if any
thing. too good, since the en-
craving was sharper and
clearer than on the originals.
Watermarks. silk thread or
flakes of mica are not in
themselves proof Of a genuine
bill.

felt Is Death" is found on the

piano.
AS usual, she is equally
brilliant in the fiery songs
or the lullabys, or pastoral
songs of Manuel de Falla,
Granados, Mompou, Toldra
MontSalvatge, Turina a and
Rodrigo. The only slight flaw
is caliber of the recording,
somewhat less natural than
Angels best.
Another gifted soprano,
Maria Stader, is eminently
qualified for a program of
oratorio arias on a Deutsche
Grammophon record. She has
brilliant support from Karl
Richter and the Munic h
Bach Orchestra, complete
with harpsichord.
We cannot remember any
similar program we enjoyed
more. There are Bach ariaS
from the st. John and st.

Joshua, Haydn pieces from
The Creation and The Sea-
sons, and a Mendelssohn
number from Elijah. Beauti-
full music, beautifully sung.

will remember the group of
spirituals, among them
Swing Low. Sweet Chariot.
Miss Price sings this. and 13
other spirituals on an RCA

by an orchestra and chorus
conducted by Leonard de

scribe the way Miss Price

Wide Angle Lenses
Real Aid to Fans

What 35mm still or smm
movie user hasn't at one time
or another faced a frustrat-
ing problem Of trying to cram
a scenic view into the un-
yielding camera viewfinder,
wishing there was some way
of including all of that met
ropolitan skyline at dusk,
sweep of crashing surf, or
brilliant panorama of a cher
ry orchard in full bloom.
Perhaps you had the an
swer to this all too common
situation in your gadget bag,
a wide-angle lens to replace
the normal" lens. If you
had to resort instead to
backing off or to panning
the scene, it's time you
looked into the advantages
of owning a wide-angle lens
for your camera.
Has Shorter Focus
A wide-angle lens, simply
stated, is a lens whose shor-
er-than-normal focal length
gives more picture area on
the film than would the
cameras normal lens at the
same camera -to-subject dis
tance. In the case of 35mm
cameras, normal lenses are
those whose focal lengths
fall into the As to 5Smm
range, with wide-angle focal
lengths commonly found at
35 and 28mm. From there
they drop to %, rs and
2lmm, the last two giving
extreme wide-angle coverage
and. particularly in the case
of the 21mm, being special
purpose lenses for profess
sional use. For 8mm movie
cameras. normal lenses us
ually are in the 10 to 13mm
range. Wide angle focal |
lengths begin at about the
9mm level. dropping down to
rs, SIS and 5.5mm.
In terms of practical US
age, 35mm fans will find the
35mm focal length to be a
very versatile and useful tool.
Lenses in this group cover a
field Of view Of 54x37 de-
grees, and can be had with
virtually as much speed as
the average normal lens,
With maximum apertureS OF
f-3.5 and f-2.8 being plenti-
full for all types Of cameras;
35's Of f-2. f-1.8. and even
faster speeds are available
for certain cameras. AS
would be expected. as lens
speed increases, so does lens
price. although a faster lens,
particularly in the wider TO
cal lengths, is not necessarily
a higher quality lens.
Certain Limitations
A 35mm lens on a 35mm
camera will capably handle
most picture situations s
