NEW EXHIBITION ATRESEARCH STUDIO

On Sunday afternoon a new exhi-bition opens at the Research Studioin Maitland. It is a three-part dis-play consisting- of the highly color-ful and decorative paintings ofHoward Schleeter, the pleasantlyorderly cement sculpture by CliftonAdams and a series of "cyeloro-manties" (a combination of paint-ing and stage model) by the untir-ing experinientor, Andre Smith.

Referring to Schleeter's work,Mr. Smith says in a foreword to theexhibition:

"Weary critics, prognosticatorsof art movements and clusters ofminor prophets have long ago de-clared Abstract Art, in all its mani-festations, a buried experiment.And yet in the face of their com-bined funeral oratory it still movesalong briskly as ever and con-stantly winning- followers amongartists as well as art lovers.

"The work of Howard Schleeteris in the front of this healthy move-ment which allows the painter thesame freedom in paint as musicalnotes allow a composer, that is, notan imitation of nature, nor an im-pression of nature, but a personalinterpretation of it by means ofform, color and space. Add to hispaintings their textural enrich-ment (not. unlike a woven fabric)a Schleeter painting becomes al-most a thing in itself, a fabrica-tion that, back of its creator's con-cept, has a basic foundation inearthborn reality.

"All this may sound a bit wordy,but not more so than any attemptat an explanation in verbal termsof a manifestation which, after all,asks of us only a visual reactionthrough our personal interpreta-tion, Howard Schleeter's paintingsmust be seen in order to be appre-ciated. And by seeing I mean thatdeeper sense of visual understand-ing which, regardless of surfacequalities of paint and pattern, givesus the spirit of Truth withoutwhich no work of art is worth amoment's consideration."

ALL SAINTS NEW CHURCH BUILDING TO BEOPENED FOR SERVICES ON PALM SUNDAY

All Winter Park will join in con-gratulations to the congregation ofAll Saints Protestant EpiscopalChurch next Sunday when theirnew church building will be openedfor its first service. As represen-tative of Bishop Wing, the Et. Rev,Paul Mathews, D.D.,. retired Bishopof New Jersey, will officiate and theRector, Rev, W. Keith Chidester,will preach the sermon.

The construction of the newchurch has been watched with grat-ification and community pride allthrough the winter. To many whomissed the passing of the old build-ing which had for so long gracedthis corner of Interlachen and Ly-man Avenues, the gradual disclo-sure of the simple but beautifuloutlines of the new church was asinteresting as the unfolding of aflower. The new All Saints givesan impression of quiet and halloweddignity, yet friendly and inviting,a wholly appropriate and inspiringsanctuary.

The opening of the new AllSaints is the goal of several yearsof effort on the part of the congre-

gation, The inadequacy of the oldbuilding had become very apparentin 1938, and the visit to WinterPark of the noted ecclesiastical ar-chitect, Ralph Adams Cram, duringthat year, was most auspicious forsecuring- a tentative design for a

What HungerfordGives Its Students

March 25, 1942.Editor,Winter Park Topics.Sir:

My interest in the Hunger-ford School is based on thetype of education it gives. Vo-cational education. It does notteach colored boys and girlsto use long words and to apeliterary folks. It teaches themhow to work with their handsin kitchen, field and shop, to doa good job and earn both moneyand happiness.

It follows the example ofTuskegee, the famous schoolestablished and run for manyyears by the great leader ofcolored democracy, Mr. BookerWashington. He taught byvoice and example that the col-ored boy or girl who could cul-tivate a crop, cook a meal;mend a plough, shoe a horsebetter than a white man wona position not only of equality,but of superiority. That's theway to raise both self and race.

And that's the way of Hun-gerford.

Yours truly,JOHN MARTIN.

The above brief tribute to Hung-erford School by Dr. John Martinmay increase the interest of Win-ter Parkians in a highly valuableinstitution. Too many of us havebeen vaguely conscious, the writeramong them, of an excellent schoolfor negroes somewhere in the vi-

cinity which came to .notice fre-quently during the winter seasonbecause of its sing-ers and the mildrequests for financial aid whichwere sent around. There wereprominent citizens on its Advisory-Board, if you took the trouble tolook over the list, and its appealsfor maintenance funds were notcarelessly turned aside. But thefact is that Winter Park has somany interests, that Hung-erfordhas not been counted very muchwith many people who should bestrong supporters and workers forits success.

At the urgent invitation of Mr.William F. Pelham, whose enthusi-asm for other good works as wellas Hungerford, stamps him as amilitant, constructive American, Iattended the Sunday afternoon con-cert at the school, I had heard onvarious occasions a quartet of theyoung men students sing theiramusing: "States Song"—"Whatdid Delia-wear" and "Where DidMary-land", etc. Their efforts, whileentertaining-, were no preparationfor the program of spirituals sung-by the whole group of men andwomen students,

Led by their Directress. Mrs, L.B. Hall, wife of the principal, Mr.John E. Hall, this body of some 40women and men sang traditionalspirituals with a beauty of tone anda natural, unaffected devotion thatit has seldom been my good fortuneto hear surpassed.

The voices had a mellow, sweetquality, free from forcing, andthere was an effortless balancing ofthe four parts that produced a sing-ularly spontaneous rise and fall ofmusical tone. The higher notes

Page Three

< The annual Civic Music Associa-tion membership campaign openedlast Monday night with a dinnermeeting at the Orange Court. Therewere nearly 160 workers present.

Dr. Louis M. Orr, president ofthe association, announced thatRachmaninoff had been engaged toappear on the series for next sea-son.

It was also announced that newmembers would have the privilegeof attending the last concert thisseason on April 9 when NathanMilstein, violinist, will appear.

Sergei Rachmaninoff, famouscomposer-pianist, who will be heardhere next season on the Civic Mu-sic Association Series, is regardedas one of the foremost living mu-sicians.

He was born at Onega in theProvince of Novgorod, and earlyshowed musical ability. At the ageof nine, he entered the St. Peters-burg Conservatory, to study thepiano, but three years later trans-ferred to the Moscow Conservatory,studying first with Tschaikowsky'sfriend Sverev and afterwards withSiloti, and taking theory and com-position with Taneiev and Arensky.In 1892, he won the gold medal forcomposition, left the conservatoryand went on a long concert tourthrough the cities of Russia. In1897, after he had already gainedfame as a concert pianist and com-poser, he was appointed conductorof the Moscow Private Opera. Hisown one-act opera, "Aleko" had al-ready been produced with successat the Moscow Opera and his piano

pieces, songs, large secular chor-uses and orchestral works were be-ginning to be recognized far andwide.

An invitation from the LondonPhilharmonic Society to appear inthe threefold capacity,of composer,conductor and pianist, affordedRachmaninoff his first great suc-cess outside of Russia, and his per-formance here established him im-mediately as no longer a Russianbut an international artist. Hisfirst symphony was played at aconcert of the Royal PhilharmonicSociety in 1909, Arthur Nikischconducting. The story of his ca-reer since these debuts as composer,pianist and conductor has been oneof cumulative success in all three,and when he made his Americandebut in 1909, he already occupiedthe very distinguished position heholds today in the music world.

MRS. BLOCH'8S THRILLERSTIRS LOCAL INTERESTBy WYNDHAM HAYWARD"The Bach Festival Murders":

mystery novel by Blanche Bloch;Harper & Bros., 1942, 289 p., $2.00.

There is a large and voracioussegment of the American readingpublic which has taken the modern"mystery thriller" novel to itsheart. Mostly they are murdermysteries. Frankly we don't likemost murder mysteries, outside ofa few of the better efforts of Aga-tha Christie, S. S. Van Dyne, etc.,and so Mrs. Bloch will probably saywe have no business reviewing hernew book.

But in Winter Park we try tokeep abreast of signiflcent trendsin all the arts, and when Mrs.Blanche Bloch writes a mysterynovel, it is something else again.

The dust wrapper of her newbook is mildly frightening, with itsillustration and the blurb line "alively and entertaining tale of mur-der and mystery". If we did notknow the author, and had not seenthe book develop conscientiouslyand painstakingly over manymonths, we would never have readit, probably. But better critics thanwe can ever hope to be have calledit "tops" in mystery novel enter-tainment, so if you want the bestin that sort of thing, we recommendit unreservedly.

The book has a special interestfor Central Florida readers, as Mrs.Bloch has borrowed a situation forthe musical setting of her storyfaintly reminiscent of our own Win-ter Park, with rival factions ofsymphony orchestra proponents andBach Festival advocates competingfor popular attention. The locale-is a Texas oil town; and the-variouscharacters are expertly drawn andthe action cleverly handled. Know-ing Mrs. Bloch as we do, we cansay that any effort to see a "romana clef" in her book is a rank per-version of the facts, and a delib-erate misunderstanding of her tal-ents.

As we said, when Mrs. AlexanderBloch, wife of the conductor of theCentral Florida Symphony orches-tra, writes a mystery novel, thatis something else ag-ain. Most mys-tery novels in recent years that wehave read have seemed rattier dull,

WINTEE PARK TOPICS, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1942

lacking in the refinements of style,plot and characterization that makefor good writing. However, asmight be expected, Mrs. Bloch'smystery novel is intelligent, spark-ling, clever, witty and sophisti-cated. We hope it will have a farwider audience than the ranks of'"mystery fans" alone.

Mrs. Bloch knows how to write,her style is charming, her man-agement of situations deft, andabove all, of course she knows andloves her music. So while wemight wish she had put the sameeffort into a more delicate and ro-mantic creation of young love andmusic, we are happy, nevertheless,that our Winter Park authoresshas done something to reflect sur-passing credit on herself and theAmerican mystery novel.

And we hope her next book,which already we anticipate witheager expectation, will not be a"musical murder mystery", becauseto us, murder and music don't mix.We like to feel that musicians donot resort to such extremes tosettle their differences. The bullfiddle player may crack down onthe piccolo player's head with hisbass viol, and Beethoven, Bach andBrahms sometimes take consider-able punishment at the hands ofwell-meaning players, but morethan that we will not concede.

Lastly but not leastly, may wequote from Deemst Taylor, dean ofAmerican music critics, who said ina recent commentary on Mrs.Bloch's first novel, "Blanche Bloch'sbook is not only a swell mysteryand a well written one, but a bookabout musicians by someone whoreallv knows what musicians arelike." Which puts me in my place.

The history of All Saints g-oesback to the early days of WinterPark. The Madison Church of theGood Shepherd, Maitland, was theparent church of All Saints. BishopWhipple of the Diocese of Minne-sota began to be a winter residentof Maitland about 1876. He con-ducted services at the Inn and soonafter" built the present beautifullittle church as a memorial to hisson.

Ten years later the old SeminoleHotel was built in Winter Park andbrought a number of Episcopaliansas winter guests. In that day ofslow transportation over sand roadsby superanuated Florida horses thedistance of three miles to Maitlandwas considered far too inconveni-ent.

Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Stovin of Win-ter Park had been attendants, thelatter the organist of the Churchof the 'Jood Shepherd. They werethe first members of the new con-gregation of All Saints.

For a number of years the twomissions of the Good Shepherd,Maitland, and All Saints, Winter.1Park, were under the charge of thesame clergyman. Each had its ownrectory, which it desired to haveoccupied by the minister-in-charge.This led to a degree of argumentwhich made it seem wise for eachchurch to have its own residentminister.

All Saints continued as a missionfrom 1886 to 1924. , Then it becamea parish church under the rector-ship of its first rector, Rev. JamesB. Thomas. Ph.D., now retired andliving in Winter Park. He came tobe-in charge of the mission, October1, 1923, and the first services as aParish were held on May 18, 1924.

"The church building within"says an old account, "is very beauti-ful—being finished in the best ofFlorida pine—hardly procurable to-day. The organ is a memorial toMiss Nannie Hayes."

Besides his work as rector of AllSaints Church Dr. Thomas was aprofessor in Rollins College, givingcourses in Bible Study and Com-parative Religion. He is a gradu-ate of Rutgers University, of t\\aCambridge Episcopal TheologicalSchool and Doctor of Philosophy ofHalle University in Germany. Heis author of several works in criti-cism and philosophy and also haspublished several noems. He wasalso awarded the prize of the Poetry

(Continued from Page 1)were sung, not reached, for, as isso often the distressing habit inamateur choirs; the lower and mid-dle register of the basses had asort of a mahogany richness thatreminded me of deep bells struckgently. There was no need ofstraining the ear for the words.There was a very affecting' emo-tional expression but never lackingin dignity and reverence. This wassinging that would move peopleand refresh their spirits. I t hadnothing to fear from comparisonwith any of the choirs of widelyheralded radio and concert fame."Whatever else Hungerford mighthave, there was no question, in mymind, that Hungerford has MUSIC.

After the concert, a trip aroundthe school grounds and buildingsprovided food for reflection. Theseclassrooms were scrupuously cleanbut their equipment, to say theleast, seemed scanty. Perhapschairs are not an essential part ofeducation, but a few more of themat Hungerf ord would not be luxury.Perhaps some of our Winter Parkhousekeepers would be glad to sendspare articles of furniture. How-ever, it would be much wiser andmore constructive to visit Hunger-ford and hear the music and thenmake up one's mind what to do.

As it was Sunday, there was noopportunity for me to see theschool in operation, and for thisreason it seemed that the educa-tional work of the institution shouldbe briefly described by one of itssupporters—hence the letter by Dr.

EASTER ISN'T EASTER

MR. BLOCH PRESENTSDELIGHTFUL PROGRAM

It was certainly no calamity forAlexander Bloch to have a dimin-ished personnel under his baton lastTuesday evening for the last of theseason's concerts of the SymphonyOrchestra. He provided an appre-ciative and enthusiastic audiencea most enjoyable and stimulatingconcert. While the absence of thebrass and other instruments whichenrich the tonal color might in timebe yearned for, there was nothought of any lack in the qualityand effectiveness of the string or-chestra in this program.

Starting with a perfect exampleof Mozart's work, the "SymphonyConcertante for violin, viola andorchestra" with Walter Tramplerand Dante Bergonzi as soloists1, weenjoyed the quintessence of classi-cal elegance, superbly performed byboth soloists and orchestra.

Following the cerulean clarityof Mozart we were served withsome heady wine in the nature of arecklessly brewed "Sinf onietta, firstmovement" by Nicolas Miaskovsky.The themes were rather obstinatelysent upon their way on differentlevels which tended to meet withoutthe slightest annoyance, however,and one rejoiced to hear how littledamage was done. If Mr.: Blochthought lie was giving Winter Parka rather difficult test, let him nowrest assured that we can take itand like it. And we thank him forgiving us the thrill of such provoca-tive composition.

Lekeu's "Adagio for Strings"proved a work of exquisite beautywith finely imaginative essays intohitherto little known realms. ArnoldKvam and Walter Trampler en-riched the work with exquisitelyplayed incidental solos. The pro-gram closed with Wolf-Ferrari's"Serenade", a. pleasing but rathersuperficial work.

This concert seemed to this re-viewer to provide unanswerable ar-gument for the permanence of ourSymphony Orchestra, and Mr. Blochwell merited the spontaneous andsound approval of the audience.

GILBERT & SULLIVAN(Continued from Page 1)

Sellman, Warren Titus NormanNagel, Wyndham Hayward.

"The Gondoliers"; or "The Kingof Barataria", was the last of theoperettas composed by the immor-tal combination of W. S. Gilbert andArthur Sullivan, and opened at theSavoy Theatre in London in De-cember 7th, 1889. With the pos-sible exception of "The Mikado",the. opening .night of "The Gondol-iers" was the greatest" triumph oftheir joint careers. As Deems Tay-lor says in the "Treasury of Gil-bert and Sullivan", "Gilbert hadgiven Sullivan exactly the thing hehad said he wanted, i. e. a storythat offered musical situations; andSullivan had obliged with a scoreof superb spontaneity and tuneful-ness. It is the gayest of all theiroperas, and the pity is that it isnot heard more often."
