Geltch Gives Recital Featuring New Suite By Eric Korngold
An audience, only slightly smaller than average, disregarded the wintry weather last night to attend the program of violin music presented by Prof. Waldemar Geltch in Fraser theater. Professor Geltch was assisted by Miss Allie Merle Conger, member of the School of Fine Arts faculty, at the piano.
The major offering of the evening was Eric Kornogold's suite for violin and piano. "Much Ado About Nothing." The four movements of the suite presented an interesting variety of musical moods, starting with the happy "Girl in Wedding Gown," "March of the Wake," played in the style of a grotesque funeral march, came next, followed by the contrasting "Garden Scene," a sweet, melodic interlude. Climax of the suite was the fast, catchy "Hormpipe."
Kórngold Composes for Movies
Last night's was the first performance of this suite in Lawrence, according to D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts. Korn gold is known for the music he has written for several leading movie films, including "The Constant Nymph."
"The Ascension," a sonata for violin and piano, (Cecil Burleigh) was the opening number on the program. Assisted by Miss Conger, Professor Geltch played the three parts of the sonata, the first being peaceful and tranquil, the second, impetuous, ending with the third section, an expression of supreme exaltation. Burleigh, who is known for his program music based on texts from nature, succeeded Professor Geltch in the violin department at the University of Wisconsin. Last Numbers Are Favorites
Following the Sonata was "Concerto No. 4 in D Major" (Mozart). The "Andante Cantabile" movement was especially impressive. The program closed with two highly spirited selections which were favorites with the audience, "Gypsy Dance, A Minor" (Nacchez) and "Hora Staccato" (Dinicu-Heifetz).
The next event on the School of Fine Arts calendar is the 78th allmusical vespers to be held Sunday, Nov. 31, in Hoch auditorium.
Most Strikers Back on Job
Washington, (INS)Near normal production in the nation's coal mines was reached today with most of the striking miners back on the job in the government-controlled pits.
Kevil and Alfred arrived,
gained upon the whole front,
the prime minister went far
beyond any of his previous speech
in forecast and brute reality.
The costs of victory will be enormous, he said. American and British armies invading Europe from the west will fight battles far longer and more bloody than Gettysburg or Waterloo. In addition, Adolf Hitler may yet strike England, as he threatened to do in Munich beer hall speech yesterday, and the attack may take a strange and fearful form.
Churchill pulled out every stop on his unparalleled instrument of oratory to insure that neither England nor America will attempt for a moment to rest upon the victories already won.
Turin Plant Put Out of Access
A solemn undertone to the prime minister's speech was the role of guns on far-flung battle grounds. Despite torrential rains and continued stiff Nazi resistance, the American and British armies in Italy moved steadily forward. The British Eighth army advanced five miles along the Adriatic coast to reach the vicinity of the Sengo river, while on the western Bank the American Fifth army moved Fornelli and moved close to Gaeta. Aerial activities in the Mediterranean theater appeared to be handicapped by heavy rain, but a survey of the damage done by a flying fortress assault on the Flat motor ballbearing plant at Turin yesterday proved conclusively that another vital cog in Hitler's war machine had been put out of action. Allies Destroy 63 Flat Planes
Latest dispatches from Moscow showed the Russians racing at break-neck speed toward the bandlers of Poland and Rumania. One Soviet column was 55 miles west of the liberated city of Kiev, and another 50 miles to the southwest.
Relentless pounding of Japanese ships and bases in the Southwest Pacific continued, with a destroyer and five additional merchantmen left in sinking condition by Allied bombers, and other enemy naval units assaulted over a wide area. Sixty-three additional Japanese planes were destroyed in recent clashes.
