CHAMBER MUSIC

It is a widely accepted beliefthat a quartet or any chamber mu-sic group cannot exist without pri-vate backing or sponsorship. Forcenturies aristocrats and personsof great wealth have supportedsuch groups, enjoying private per-formances and favoring a smallcircle of friends with the privilegeof hearing chamber music. This isprobably the reason why chambermusic was considered by many tobe something which could be ap-preciated by only an initiated few;something beyond the comprehen-sion of the layman.

Today, thanks to the phonographand the radio, American apprecia-tion1 of music is on a far higherlevel than it lias ever been. Neverbefore has there been such a wide-spread enjoyment of the symphony,the opera, the oratorio, and ofchamber music,

Winter Park already has an ex-cellent symphony, and its BachFestival is far famed. Now a newchamber music group is preparedto give a series of concerts, thefirst to be on Saturday, January25, at the Woman's Club. Themembers of this organization areWalter H. Trampler, Dante Ber-gonzi, A. Kunrad Kvam, and JohnCarter. These young men havenot tried to solicit private support,they are offering their music di-rectly to the public. It is an ex-periment to see if Winter Park isprepared and willing to support

chamber music. From the numberof requests they have already re-ceived for this type of music, theybelieve it is.

The first program will consist ofmucic by Handel, Reger, and Dvor-ak. Sonata in Handel's day wasonly a word adopted from theItalian meaning "that which isplayed" just as Cantata meant"that which is sung." It had noneof the strictness of form so care-fully followed by later composers.The sonata which will be per-formed is written for two violins,'cello, and piano. It consists of agroup of unrelated pieces anddances of which the "Musette" isoutstanding.

Max Reger, a modern Germancomposer, is comparatively littleknown in this country. Yet hiswork achieves greatness. The firsttwo movements of his string triowhich will be played, show hisgenius in writing serious and beau-tiful music. In the latter twomovements, however, the composerputs his tongue in his cheek andgives us an amusing picture of astreet waltz, and a caricature of aHaydn movement distorted througha modern haze.

The Dumky Trio by Dvorakhardly needs comment. It hasbeen heard before by Winter Parkaudiences. In it Dvorak breaksfrom the traditional forms andmerely presents beautiful snatchesof Bohemian music.

An advertisement in Winter ParkTopics is certain to be seen.

Work of John Hawkinsat Research Studio

The Research Studio in Maitlandhas on display, until Februaryfirst, paintings by John F. Haw-kins, one of the resident artists ofthe Studio. The gallery is nowopen to the public, and all are cor-dially invited to inspect this in-teresting show.

The work on exhibition was ex-ecuted during- the past ten yearsand was recently exhibited at theArgent Galleries in New YorkCity, where it received favorablecommendation in the New YorkTimes. A psychological ratherthan a visual approach is used inthe work which is characterized bya fine sense of design. A clearunderstanding of form and of vol-ume, and a brilliant use of colorthat is translucent and appliedthinly, so that the texture of thecanvas is never lost. A vividimagination and exquisite techni-cal ability is evident in all of thethe work. Each picture has aframe which was especially de-signed' by the artist to suit themood, the color, and the design ofthe painting.

For ten months Hawkins workedon a large screen called WoodlandReverie. It is an impression, ren-dered with a predominance of vividblues, of the jpngle on the southernside of bhe Ifelo of Pines, ratherthan an exact representation ofthe theme. Another screen calledGeometry and Night Flowers is anexample of pure decoration donein subdued colors.

In his autobiography Stravinskystated that he wanted his music

to be listened to as sculpture.Critics have, usually, interpretedthis statement to mean definitefor as in the work of Michael An-gelo, but Hawkins has interpretedit to mean that it should constantlybe in a state of flux. The sketchfor his painting, Sculptured Music—Stravinsky, was done on theback of a program, while he wasattending a concert by Stravinsky.

Home, Asiatic Duty, The PacificIsles, and The Pacific Coast arefour paintings, with a predomi-nance of warm colors, which werecommissions for the National NavyClub on Park Avenue in New YorkCity. The picture, Stars andPlanets, expresses exaltation felton a winter night in a well or-dered universe. The companionpainting, Northern Night, has afemale figure symbolizing the mys-teries of the unknown and a malefigure looking up in adoration andin respect at the qualities whichare beyond his comprehension.Spring with its analogous colorscheme of yellow, green, and blue,was painted in the spring timeafter an illness of the artist, andrepresents the sprouting, growingforces that are evident at that sea-son of the year. In Before theDawn, under a moody, purple sky,three simple crosses on a hill .< inthe background symbolize" the sim-ple faith of Christianity while theelaborately decorated crosses inthe foreground represent the rit-ual which has been built aroundthem. Before progress can be at-tained a return must be made tosimple basic principles of Christi-anity.

Eleven months of work were re-quired for the latest pictures byJohn Hawkins which are theAdamic Preludes, consisting ofeight paintings, the subjects ofwhich parallel Children of Adamby Walt Whitman. The shortenedtitles for the work were composedby Professor John Howard Birss ofRutgers University, who made cer-tain suggestions to the artist afterseeing his preliminary sketches.These eight paintings trace fromthe psychological viewpoint, thecycle of man from the time ofcourtship to the first offspring.

on which Columbus landed on hissecond voyage to America andwhich he called the Isle of Evan-gelis. As his family now livesnear Orlando, John Hawkins has"been visiting Florida frequentlyfor the past few years and expectsto live permanently in the state.

For ten years he lived andworked in New York City as aprofessional designer of stagescenery and costumes. His crea-tions have been purchased by manyeminent producers. For the Den-ishawn Dancers, Ted Shawn andEuth St. Denis, he designed thescenery for their world tour.Florenz Zeigfeld had him do someof the scenery for the Follies andLew Leslie had him design the setsfor Black Bird. For the producers,Rogers, Hart, and Fields, he cre-ated the costumes and the sceneryof the Connecticut Yankee, whichwas played on Broadway for ayear, as well as of several otherplays. Leo Singer, the Austrianproducer, liked the work of JohnHawkins so much that he had himdesign scenery for his shows whichwere first produced in Vienna, in-stead of having the scenery de-signed in Europe. Since the be-ginning of the present war in Eu-rope, De Courville purchased stagesets from John Hawkins in N#wYork, for a production that is-toappear in...London.

MR. CHASE'S ARTICLESON NATIONAL BUDGET

Mr. Harvey S. Chase, then ofBoston, was called to Washington,D. C, by President Taft early in1911 and appointed a commissioneron the first attempt to construct atrue federal budget, which tookthree years of intense effort by allconcerned. Last week in theMorning Sentinel of Orlando, ofSunday, January 19th, Mr. Chasetells the story of the results of thisoriginal budget-making and of theconditions surrounding the, so-called, "National Budget" today.

On the preceding Monday, Jan-uary ISth, a similar story waspublished concerning the "balance-sheet" of the United States Treas-ury at December 31st, 1940, andr e l a t i n g to an extraordinary"mark-up" of the alleged "work-ing-balance" on October 1st, 1915,which has had surprising resultsupon all such statements since thatdate.

Mr. Chase's experience in boththese problems was at first handand he is probably the only livingindividual who could recount thesesomewhat astonishing facts, whichhave not been made public hereto-fore.

SPANISH INSTITUTE

Members of the Spanish Insti-tute from many parts of the statewill assemble in the Rollins Col-lege Commons on February 8 forthe annual banquet. The speakerfor the evening will be Dr. RollitiR. Atwood of the University ofFlorida, director of the InterAmerican Institute. He will speakon "A Program for Inter Ameri-can Understanding."

In accord with the expandedprogram of the Spanish Institute,to include the cultivation of betterunderstanding with our neighborsto the south, the principal motif of

the banquet will be Pan-American.An exhibit from the HispanicAmerican nations is being planned.Prizes will be awarded for the ladyand gentleman appearing in thebest headdress and the holder ofthe lucky entrance number willalso receive a prize.

Mrs. W. C. Bowers, of Coopers-town, New York, a winter visitorat the Alabama Hotel, is the pres-ident of the Spanish Institute thisyear. She is well known in WinterPark circles for her interest ineverything relating to Spain. Shehas not only travelled widely inSpain, but last year received theCervantes Medal of the SpanishInstitute for her stimulation of in-terest in the Spanish language andcivilization,

Mrs. Calvin A. West, of Orlando,a resident of Florida since 1925and a trustee of Florida SouthernCollege, and Mrs. Fielding LewisTaylor, of New York and WinterPark, honorary president of the lo-cal chapter of Bundles for Britain,are co-chairmen of the committeearranging the banquet.

IMPORTANT LECTURE

One of the most important lec-tures of the season, which will con-tain more authentic news of thewar than has come from almostany other source, will be the talkby Rev. Ewart Edmund Turner,who for 10 years was an activeminister in Germany.

Miss Margaret Moore, chairmanof the International RelationsCommittee of the Winter ParkWoman's Club, announces that dueto the wide interest being shownin the coming lecture by Dr.Turner, "Hitler Marches on SouthAmrica," this program Wednesday,Jan. 29, will be held in the Con-gregational Church and will beopen to the public. The time is 10o'clock and it will be preceded byan organ meditation.

Dr. Turner, who was in Polandand Germany just before Hitlerstruck in September, 1939, andwho has been in South Americasince then, studying Nazi penetra-tion there, comes with an authenticpicture of things as they are andthings as we can expect them tobe. He is the leading Americanauthority on Martin Niemoller, oneof Hitler's most famous prisoners.

Dr. Turner is in Florida as oneof the speakers on the Chain ofMissionary Assemblies, but this isthe only time he will appear inWinter Park. For 10 consecutiveyears, prior to the outbreak of theEuropean conflict, Dr. Turner was

CARVED CEMENT WORKAT RESEARCH STUDIO

At the Research Studio in Mait-land a new doorway in carved ce-ment has just been finished andset in place. It is the work of Da-vid Swanson done in collaborationwith Andre Smith, the architect ofthe Research Studio buildings. Mr.Swanson has held to the Aztecforms which the Studio has usedfor its decorations, and has de-signed an Adam and Eve motifwhereby on this occasion the eter-nal pair make their appearance oneither side of the doorway whilethe ever-present third party isagain offering his apple of temp-tation in a beguiling curve on thedoor lintel over their heads.

Mr. Swanson was invited to theResearch Studio in order to experi-ment with this cement medium for

sculptural work, not only for walldecorations but in the round aswell.

The Research ••• Studio- buildings -are probably unique in the applica-tion of this form of applied deco-ration, and its effectiveness hasalready been demonstrated by thenumerous doorways and wall pan-els which Mr. Smith himself hasexecuted. Mr. Smith believes thatthis method of sculptural workshould be more generally used andespecially by architects in theirresidential work. Its simplicity ofhandling makes it possible for asculptor to offer his services atvery reasonable rates. Mr. Swan-son's doorway is a further proof ofthe effectiveness of work of thissort. It is hoped that his experi-ments will help to further theadaptation of direct carving in ce-ment for the enrichment of door-ways and wall decorations not onlyin public buildings but for privatehouses as well.

triangle" plot, and the play comesoff with good humor, and a sigh ofrelief from the audience. PatriciaPritchard was a lovely Candida,but was not quite strong enoughto dominate the play as the char-acter should. Candida is essen-tially a dominant intellectual, farabove both her husband and thepoet in wisdom and understanding.The climax in the third act is atypical Shavian trick, and alwaysa delight to audiences, where Can-dida chooses the weaker of the two.Rev. Morrell, Marehbanks and theaudience are all under the impres-sion that Marehbanks is the"weaker," and the quick explana-tion and satisfying turn of eventswhich close the play are thrillingin their finesse.

It was a good show, and theRollins students- deserve great-credit for giving such fine enter-tainment. Winter Parkers aremuch interested in the work of thestudents, and especially appreciatethe choice of plays which presenta normal, human aspect of per-sonalities and life, in contrast tothe literature of morbid, patha-logical and psychological studies.
