his degree, as Ebsen facetiously remarked by sufficient attention to

to his old college with a talent and
a prestige that stands comparison
with the records of any other Rollins boys. And no one is more appreciative of the contribution of
Buddy Ebsen to the world's happiness than Dr. Holt.

WORLD FEDERALISTS
MEET AT ROLLINS
Only through control of armaments can the nations maintain
peace, was the statement of Samuel R. Levering, prominent worker for world peace, at. the one-day
convention of the United World
Federalists held at Rollins College
last Sat., Jan. 17. This' control can
be achieved by strengthening the
United Nations or, if Russia declined to join, by forming a similar
bloc with an effective control, said
Mr. Levering.
The speaker is a member of the
executive council of the national
UWP and a leading worker in
Quaker peace and relief activities.
He is a member of the American
Friends Service Commission which
shared a joint award of the Nobel
Prize last year.

contralto, Harold Haugh, tenor, and
J. Alden Edkins, basso, have won
the approval of Winter Park's discriminating music lovers in previous Festivals, and it is especially
pleasing to learn that they are all
taking high rank in the important
musical undertakings of this season.
The return this year of Harold
Haugh as tenor s'oloist, will be most
gratifying to his many admirers.
Mr. Haugh first sang in Winter
Park at the Festival of 1941 and
the quality and power of his voice
combined with a masterly understanding of Bach's music made him
a favorite who was re-engaged each
year until 1947 when lie was unable
to come and his place was taken
by another leading' oratorio singer,
Lucius Metz, of New York.
Mr. Haugh has been receiving the
highest praise from musical critics
for his rendition of Bach's music.
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer said:
"Mr. Haugh was the outstanding
soloist, (St. Matthew's Passion),
employing Ms virile and vibrant
tenor with conspicuous skill in the
difficult role of the Narrator. His
part, sting without notes, was1 not
only deeply expressive but effi-
ciently timed to maintain laudable
continuity. The Pittsburgh SunTelegraph said: "Harold Haugh's
role of the Evangelist has become
a tradition
i
here as elsewhere, wherever good Bach is heard."
Ruth Diehl, soprano, who returns
for her second season, was one of
the principal soloists' of the Worcester Festival in 1947 and made a
distinguished success. The Worcester Daily Telegram said: "Miss
Diehl, newcomer to the scene, has
a pure soprano voice, of rich, crystalline quality. Her singing was of
consistent excellence, and her aria,
"Come unto Him" she sang with a
beautiful head tone, mellow and
secure." The Worcester News said:
"I know that my Redeemer liveth"
was a masterpiece of vocal art,
every tone colored by a hopeful,
serene quality, purely descriptive of
the text." Miss Diehl is the soprano soloist at St. Bartholomew's
Church, Park Avenue and 50th
Street, New York, where Sunday
afternoon services' are devoted to
the performance of the great oratorio works.
Lydia Summers, whose beautiful
voice and sympathetic interpretation of the Bach scores has made
her a favorite
at the local Festval
since he1: first appearance in 1940,
continues to occupy a prominent
p.'ace in the musical cente.* of New
York. She was the contralto soloist for the uncut performance of
Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" last
December 23rd with the Collegiate
Chorale under the direction of Dr.

Helen Moore added to her laurels as a concert pianist at her recital last week before the Friday
Musicale in Jacksonville. Her appearance was one of a series of
engagements' before prominent musical organizations which. Miss
Moore is filling' this season. Specializing in the Sonatas of Beethoven, Miss Moore devotes part of
her program to an explanation of
the works on her program.
The recital was fully reviewed in
last Saturday's Jacksonville TimesUnion from which we quote the following high tribute: "Dr. Moore
is recognized throughout the South
as a musician of extraordinary
ability and gave a magnificent performance of the three Sonatas. Her
technique is flawless and she plays
with the sincerity, the warmth, and
the depth of feeling which bespeak
her complete understanding of the
intent of the composer."
Miss Moore was the honored
guest at a luncheon following her
recital presided over by Mrs. Lee
Powell, President of Friday Musicale, About 150 guests' were present.
Winter Park will liave an opportunity of hearing Miss Moore in recital in the near future at a date
to be announced.
The third and last of the series
of illustrated lectures Sponsored by
Unitarian Women's Alliance was
given on Monday by Prof. F. W. O.
Hersey who delighted a large audience with his beautiful pictures of
Venice and his well-chosen and appropriate selections from the works
of great poets. Mr. Hersey repeated his success of the first of the
series when lie took his audience on
"A Walk in Dickens-Land, London
to Canterbury". Miss Hilda Loines
with her extremely interesting pictures' of English Gardens and Mr.
Hersey have given much pleasure
and information as well as helped
the good ladles of the Alliance to
raise funds.
Due to the fuel shortage the Community Series postponed the lecture
of Mr. Oliver K. Eaton last Monday evening to Mon., Feb. 9th. Mr.
Eaton's subject will be "The Social Democrats and the Co-operatives of Scandanavia". Mr. George
Saute's lecture scheduled for Feb.
9 is postponed to March 22.

BARTER THEATRE IN
TWO GREAT COMEDIES
"The play's' the thing" this next
week at the High School Auditorium
when Winter Park will have the
pleasure of seeing two outstanding
comedies presented by the famous
Barter Theatre Company of Virginia, On Thursday evening, Jan.
29, 8:15, Norman Krasna's New
York success, "John Loves Mary"
• will be given and on Friday night,
Jan. 30, Shakespeare's gayest of
comedies', "Twelfth Night".
These two plays will be produced
with the glamor and atmosphere of
big theatre by professional casts
and complete theatrical properties
and costuming. Those who attended the performance last year of
"Much Ado About Nothing" by the
Barter Theatre Company will know
what a treat is in store. Robert
Porterfield, the organizer and director of the Barter Theatre, has
brought it to national recognition
as one of the most successful projects for the public appreciation of
the drama.
Winter Park's Kiwanis is' sponsoring these two plays as a benefit
for its program of help for Tinderprivileged children and merits the
highest praise for affording such a
high class entertainment as a
money-raiser.

IMPRESSIONS OF THE
MORSE GALLERY SHOW
The chaotic news' in the papers
prepares the visitor to the Morse
Gallery for the present exhibition
with its many varieties of contemporary American art.
A number of the paintings might
be more pure Art, if they were
allowed to be what is most impressive in them, that is a non-objective study of line, form or color,
instead of clinging to a title. Such
as John Costigan, who repeats his
beautiful harmony of color in an
autumn forest and his graceful lines
of branches of the trees. Yet a forest does not look that way and in
looking at it one might derive more
pleasure if those beauties were not
linked with a spot in Nature he
scarcely recognized. The same
might be true of Lamar Dodd's
"Peach Trees". Trees are not pink.
Peaches are not trees. Yet if one
forgets the subject there is much
beauty in the forms and colors'.
Perhaps most of our painters cannot yet risk flouting the public's
search for a familiar subject. If
we are fearful of new forms in art
let us remember that Nature herself produces more extraordinary,
grotesque, alarming, e x q u i s i t e
than any non-objective artist yet
conceived.
The handicap of a name for a
painting appears again and again.
Take Edward John Stevens' "Village Fire". So we want a village.
It must look like a village and everything else must look as it should.
The dog must not bare impossible
teeth, nothing must be impossible.
Disturbed, we fail to be touched by
the chaos of the post-war times,
when orators and languages and
even animals are distorted in the
stale-mated struggle. A lesser example is the interesting line and
simple color harmony of Xavier
Gonzales' "Pish and Dry Shell."
So we look for a fish and don't like
finding only his skeleton.
Here's top-flight entertainment
