NEW Y0RK.-A priced paint
ing by Signae recently was
bought at a Parked auc-
ton by George Farkas, chair
man Of Alexander's Department
Stores. The next day the auc-
tioneer phoned Farkas and ex-
planned that he'd made a mis-
take. He'd overlooked a higher
bid which had been left with
him by another collector. Would
Mr.. Farkas give up his Signac,
for a profit?
Farkas replied that he'd dis
cuSS it with his wife-who final
ly decided that the collector
who'd left the higher bid could
have the Signac, on one condi-
ton. A 5000 contribution would
have to be made first to the de-
serving Beth Abraham Home in
the Bronx. Three days later
came the collectors check, for
$4,000 to the Beth Abraham
Home. It was signed by Henry
Ford II.

OF all things, the novelty on
last nights Philadelphia Or
cheStra program in Constitution
Hall was a concerto by Felix
MendelsSohn.
It seems that the 15-year-old
genius wrote a pair of piano
concertoS which he and his sis
ter Fanny performed. One Of
the two, the Concerto in E,
MendelSSohn played successful
ly with Ignaz Moscheles at the
second Keyboard in London a
few years after he composed it.
But the E major Concerto did
not stick. MendelSsohn never
did publish it, and it was only
after the last war that the man.
uscript, in the former PruSSian
State Library in Berlin behind
the Iron Curtain, was ''rediscov-
cred"
Yesterdays solOists, the duo
pianists Gold and Fizdale, were
the first TO introduce it to this
country some seven years ago;
yesterdays Constitution Hall
performance seems to be the
first one recorded on the local
scene.
The work proved to be pleas
antly melodious, but rather
slight in substance. It is not
hard to see why Mendelssohn
allowed it to slide into obscurity
during his lifetime. It suffers
from a certain amount of pro
ixity, and not even the bril-
iantly sensitive artistry of Gold
and Fizdale (surely the premier
two-piano team playing today
could turn it into a moving ex-
perience.
It was interesting to hear the
concerto once, but it won't add
to Mendelssohn's stature.
The evenings piece de resis-
lance was the big ProkOfieff
Fifth Symphony, long since
established in the repertory as
one of the Russian composers
most effective and affecting
orchestral works. II not for an
anticlimactie finale, the Fifth
would reach for genuine great
ness, with its strong opening
movement In the Eroica mood,
its magnificent scherzo, and its
elegic adagio.
Mr.. 0rmandy and his men
played it for all it is worth
(which is a great deal), and the
Enthusiastically golden tone Of
the Philadelphia was displayed
to wonderful advantage.
The orchestra was in fine fet-
tie throughout the evening, and
the sold-out house was properly
appreciative.
One wonders what the au-
dience reaction will be to the
next Constitution Hall program
of the Philadelphians scheduled
for January 20. Guest conductor
Robert Craft and Igo Stravin-
sky will offer Stravinsky and
Schoinberg only-and not the
easiest S & S at that. l daresay
the applause will be just as en-
thusiastic.
