SYMPHONY CONCERTFEATURES SINGERS

Winter Park's big musical fam-ily gathered for its second orches-tra concert last Tuesday evening inthe auditorium and was delightedwith a program of unhackneyedpieces under the direction of Mr.Alexander Bloch. Samuel Barber's"Adagio" for strings, which openedthe program auspiciously proved aninteresting musieianly work withsome rather "Tristanesque" remin-iscences. Mczat's "Kleine NachtMusik" was well played and muchenjoyed, as also was the Elgar"Serenade." A transcription of aBach "Fugue a la Gigue" closed theconcert in a lively mood.

Two of the young members of themusic family were given an oppor-tunity to show their talents,—MissLuicille David, contralto, and Mr.John Powell, baritone, and weregiven liberal encouragement fortheir conscientious singing. MissDavid gave two Brahms songs,"Botschaft" and "Der Schmied,"also the "Seguidilla" from "Car-men." Not so successful in thefirst in which a slow tempo robbedthe lyric of its surging eagerness,she gave characteristic vigor to thesecond and was decidedly morespontaneous and vocally effective inthe "Carmen" number.

Mr. Powell's1 voice was not wellsuited to Schubert's "Der Wan-

POETRY SOCIETY(Continued from Page 1)

"Renascence" made her famous in1917, followed by the disillusion-ment of the post-war years, sym-bolized in T. S. Eliot's strange bleakpoem "The Hollow Men." Goingback to the Spanish war in 1898,she contrasted William VaughnMoody's famous "Ode In Time ofHesitation" with Richard Hovey'sprophetic poem, "Unmanifest Des-tiny", with its theme, so timely to-day, in the present crisis, as ourcountry fulfills the destiny of whichHovey sang: "I only know it shallbe high, I only know it shall begreat,"

Introducing Dr. Holt, Miss Rit-tenhouse spoke of "The Independ-ent" as "the choicest high-classweekly magazine of this country inthe long years of its existence,"founded by Dr. Holt's grandfather,Henry C. Bowen, edited for manyyears, by his predecessor, Dr, Wil-liam Hayes Ward, and publishingthe work of every major poet fromWhittier, Bayard Taylor, BryantStoddard, Holmes, Aldrich, TI. B.Stowe, Longfellow, Sir Edwin Arn-old, Mrs. Browning, Tennyson andothers, to Emily Dickinson, BlissCarmen and the more modem poets.

Especially interesting was Dr.Holt's story of Sidney Lanier'sgreat poem "Into the Woods MyMaster Went" the acceptance ofwhich by "The Independent" inDecember, 1880, gave first nationalrecognition to the South's greatestpoet. Of equal interest to thiscommunity was his story of thepublishing' of our famous novelist,Irving Bacheller's first poem in"The Independent". Framed auto-graphed manuscripts of many ofthese poems were shown by Dr.Holt, comprising as interesting andvaluable a. private collection, ofAmericana in poetry, as exists to-day. Dr. Holt's reading of severalof these masterpieces was greatlyenjoyed, as well as his amusing edi-torial experiences with some of thefamous literati and their literaryquirks,

Miss Rittenhouse read the contri-buted poems writen by RobertaTeale Swartz, Margery MansfieldEugene R. Shippen, Stella WestonTuttle, Charles Hyde Pratt, Doro-thy Brown Thompson and the writ-

ers of two poems with the samenumber of votes, and the poem withwinning vote, called "Life Again",the best three reserved for the finalprize award reading in April.

In the interval of vote counting,Dr. Holt entertained his audienceby reading three of his own humor-ous poems, including "Daffy Dil-lies," read by him at the dinner hon-oring Clinton Scollard and JessieRittenhouse, some years ago inWinter Park, when they were pre-sented with a silver loving cup asan aFectionate tribute from a hostof friends in this community.

The statement in last week's is-sue of Winter Park Topics thatthere are ample building materials'available in local dealers' hands fornormal home building has clearedaway. much of the confusion thatexisted in Winter Park.

DR. MANUEL BRINGS OLD ITALIAN MASTERTO LIGHT IN KNOWLES MEMORIAL CHAPEL

By Gordon Blackwell"The tasks of an art restorer are

delicate and responsible."This is a statement by one of the

experts of the craft, Dr. DonaldoManuel, famous South Americanartist, who has been treating manypaintings of the Knowles MemorialChapel for the past few months.

Recently he made a special re-quest for one small oil painting onwood called "Christ of the Column".It was a dark yellow-brown and byan unknown artist.. The only thinganyone knew about it was that Gen-eral and Mrs. John J. Carty hadpresented it in memory of Mrs.Carty's "brother Thomas Russell.But Manuel noticed that the tech-nique of the strokes correspondedto sixteenth century Renaissancepainting. He made plans about re-storing it which he revealed only tohis wife, who is his ever-presentassistant.

First with heat and vapors theyloosened the grime and old varnish,which melted into little pools on thesurface, quickly swabbed off withcotton. Then appeared the gor-geous coloring of garments, andthe softness of flesh tones—the firstreal evidence of an old Italian mas-ter. But most exciting was thedark brown strip of over-paintingat the bottom by a later artist. Thiswas removed with great care andthe lost signature emerged: LA-VINiA FONTANA, MDLXXVI.

The man who had restored orig-inals from all over the world—Rem-brandt, Titian, Carlo-Dolci and Gil-bert Stuart, to the start the list—had to come to Winter Park.to ap-ply his skill to uncover one by Fon-tana, whose famous works havelong been prized by museums inBologne, Rome, Florence, Venice,and Milan.

He is happy but modest about hisdiscovery. "I am only pleased thatI was able to discern, restore, and

preserve a valuable work of artwhich is now 366 years old. Strange,when years ago while studying artand restoration in Florence, Italy,I saw the two Lavinia Fontana'sself portraits at the famous PlazztPitti on one of my many researchtrips to and from the Academiadelle Belle-Arti."

Dr. Manuel's life is like a book-length novel overflowing with ad-ventures. His earliest recollectionsare of his life in South Americaunder governesses who taught himthe many languages which hespeaks fluently—Spanish, English,French, German, Italian. This wastraining for the colorful world trav-el which he later experienced. Atthe University of Salamanca, Spain,he studied medicine and law, wherehe received his LL.D.

Manuel remembers with greatdelight his first adventure in art.It was during his vacations fromthe university, which he spent inroaming to odd places all overSpain. On the beach near Valenciahe happened upon an old man paint-ing a landscape. Manuel was soimpressed by the magic of the art-ist's brush that he spoke out loud,"That is not painting—that isliquid sunshine." Needless to say,Joaquin Sorolla y Bostida, for itwas that great man, took charge ofthe enthusiastic disciple and gavehim his first lessons in painting.

There followed a short period oflaw practice in South America, forpurposes of the pocket, and then thejoys of extensive world travel andstudy in the monasteries of Vienna,Venice, Florence, Sevilla, Mexico,where he learned the difficult tech-nique of art restoring. Since thenhe has been associated with, largegalleries in many lands.

His outstanding work extended toFlorida in recent years, and in St.Augustine he achieved great re-nown, and the attention of Dr. Holt,with the restoring of 79 canvasesin the Ponce de Leon Hotel. Be-sides his assignment on theKnowles Memorial Chapel artworks, he has renovated the por-traits and signatures of the 32presidents placed by Dr. Holt in theAlumni Building at Rollins.

"I always try to surpass myselfand not to surpass others," hestates as a credo. "Life is like apainting: fields beyond look green-er, but it is an optical illusion.They are made with the same pig-ments and brushes."

The Grumbacher Collection se-lected his oil pallet as one of thefifty odd chosen to represent therediscovering by modern artists of

the color secrets of old masters.Many of his other paintings, avail-able for sale or exhibit, present thegrandeur and glory that is SouthAmerica's—of Brazil in "CascadaTropical" (Tropical Waterfall), ofUruguay in "Arroyo Sarandi," ofArgentina in "Rio Capitan," and ofColumbia in "Manana en el Lago."The last mentioned he presented toDr. Holt for Rollins College.

Dr. Manuel has straight sightedvision about the position of art inthese war times. "Next to the pro-secution of the war to its ultimatevictory—perhaps of equal import-ance—is the maintainence of na-tional morale. Therein lies the op-portunity—yes, the clear duty ofthe arts. Music, the theatre, litera-ture, and painting must be a solaceand a stabilizer for the nationalspirit in our trial by fire!

"Has not some of the greatestart been created in the face ofpains, sorrow, misery,, and withinthe very sound of the guns? Re-member how 'The Star SpangledBanner' was created. Therefore,the artist should now redouble hisefforts to produce—at nominal pric-es—more inspiring pictures.

"For my part, I'll do this and putmost of its returns for the serviceof humanity in serving the nation—and praying God to illuminate meand my fellow men in producingsomething beautiful and construc-tive in a world of destructiveness."

STUDENT CAST SCORESHIGH IN "CRAIG'S WIPE""Craig's Wife" at the Annie Rus-

sell Theatre last week was a mostsuccessful presentation, and the-atre-goers were greatly impressedwith Director Donald S. Allen'scasting of the Rollins Student Play-ers. The most notable thing aboutthe performance was the uniformlyexcellent acting of all its principals.It is seldom that a student play canoffer a complete cast of such well-chosen and resourceful young ac-tors.

The play itself written by GeorgeKelly, was not a particularly fasci-nating piece, having very little ac-tion, an abundance of words and atheme that became tiresome. Every-one had a suspicion and a wild hopefrom the beginning' that the 'wormwould turn' before the end of theplay, but the prolonged family ar-guments, the constant nagging andfinding fault almost wore down theaudience before Miss Austen cameto the rescue.

As a matter of opinion, it seemedthat Mrs. Craig's fate at the finalcurtain was not half bad enough forher. Instead of having everyoneclear out of her way, why couldn'tthey have had just one wild orgy ofa party, with hundreds of unexpect-ed callers, smoking- all over thehouse, books and newspapersscratching all the polished tablesand the piano, flowers littering theroom, chairs broken and art trea-sures smashed? That would havecleared the air, and the rest of thehousehold could then have left withhigh spirits, having gotten a lot outof their systems. Philippa Hermanwas excellent as the unbearablewife; the audience groaned inward-ly every time she started a new ar-gument. Patricia Pritchard did asplendid piece of acting as the eld-erly Miss Austen. Her makeup,costume, speech and stage presencewere carefully studied. Clifford Co-thren did his part very well, as Mr.Craig, and showed much improve-ment over previous roles. He por-trays mature parts with intelli-gence and understanding. AllenderJones had another mature part,that of Mrs. Frazier, and her care-

DOROTHY LOCKHART REPORTS CONTINUEDOUTPUT OF HELP IN BUNDLES FOR BRITAIN

The entry of America into the war raised the question in some mindsas to the proper status of the "Bundles for Britain" organization andits work. The subject has been a matter of frequent discussion andWinter Park Topics is pleased to give the following statement from MissDorothy Lockhart, President of the Winter Park organization.

"Realizing one's first reaction after the bombing of Honolulu was to'go all out for America'," said Miss Lockhart, "I am happy to report thatthere has been no lag in the continuation of the good work being carriedon at our Headquarters for Britain. Aware that it is the right and justimpulse in the hearts of all g'ood Americans, yet I must remind everybodythat we cannot let Great Britain down at this most critical time. Thatthe people of Great Britain are in the midst of a cold, bleak and terriblewinter, that they are rationed on food and on fires, that they will liveunder the threat of renewed bombings and invasion and that as long aswe are able to, we must keep up our aid to them."

"We must remember" continued Miss Lockhart, "that Great Britainis still our'first line of defense:that this little island stands between us andthe powerful Axis powers. I do not ask for divided allegiance, as I donot see the matter in that light. The United States and her Allies standshoulder to shoulder. If they are to win this war, Bundles for Britainmust continue to give and give, and we in Winter Park are being countedon to continue our work for humanity in England."

The recent presentation of a memorial gift of $300 as a testimonialto the late Dr, Robert Mowat, of Bristol, limgland, who lost his life ina plane accident when returning to his1 home from his lecture course inWinter Park, is the subject of a letter of acknowledgment from theBristol Hospital to Miss Lockhart.

ST. MICHAEL'S HILLBRISTOL 2

Mrs. D. Lockhart Smith,"Bundles for. Britain",, Inc.Winter Park, Fla.Dear Mrs. Lockhart Smith,

I was delighted to receive a gift of $300 (.£74.5.2 sterling) from theWinter Park, Florida, Branch of Bundles for Britain per The CountessBeatty, Bundles for Britain, London, and I should like to assure you thatwe are extremely grateful for the kindness of your members in assistingus in this generous way.

I am particularly interested to know that it is your wish to makethis gift a testimonial to the late Dr. Robert Mowat, Professor of Litera-ture in the University of Bristol. I have spoken to the President of thisHospital, Mr. E. S. Rayner, and we suggest subject to your approval, thata Cot should be named "The Robert Mowat Cot, per Bundles for Britain,Winter Park, Florida Branch" for a period of three years. We name aCot in this Hospital for an annual contribution of j;25 so that your giftwill cover a period of three years. I offer this suggestion for your agree-ment and in the hope that you will feel that it will make a fitting me-morial to a man who was very fond of Children.

Dr. Robert Mowat was well known to us in Bristol being a Professorin History at our University. He was of course well known outside Bris-tol for his work, his books and his lectures and in his passing we feel thatwe have lost a very great and kindly man.

II believe that Dr. Mowat visited America as Carnegie Visiting Pro-fessor in History and it was most unfortunate that so promising a career

should have terminated in such a tragic manner.I am.enclosing a short History of this Hospital which has benefittecl

by your kindly gift so that you may know something of our work and Ihope that you may find it of interest.

"Bundles for Britain" have been good friends of the Bristol Chil-dren's Hospital and I am delighted that we have added another Branchto our list of Benefactors in your good selves.

Will you please thank your members very, very much for the giftwhich they have sent us and for the honour they do this Hospital in asso-ciating it with a memory which I am sure they hold in great respect.

Yours faithfully,REGINALD THOMAS, Secretary.
