her lecture-recitals, in which shegives her delightful "previews" ofeach program in turn.

The fact that this is the centen-ary year of Piotr Ilyich Tchaikow-sky (born at Votkinsk, Russia, May7, 1840) justifies—as would the in-comparable music regardless ofhistorical dates—the selection ofTchaikowsky compositions to beginand end the season. The featureof Tuesday's program will be hisfamous Fifth Symphony in E-min-or, undoubtedly greatest of hisworks; most commentators class-ing it as among the three or fourgreat symphonies of all time. Inthe final program, April 2nd, Con-ductor Bloch plans to givs thiscomposer's enchanting tone-poem,"Romeo and Juliet."

Gallant little Finland, saving itsimperilled life from the clutch ofthe Russian bear, will have itstribute in the second concert onFebruary 20, in the performanceof the now increasingly familiarand popular "Finlandia/' in whichforty years ago Sibelius deliber-ately and successfully despite thecensors' grip even upon music,sought to arouse Finland againstthe Russian tyranny.

Tuesday's concert will open withthe Overture . to von Weber's"Buryanthe"; but the human-inter-est feature for Winter Park andRollins College folk will be theviolin solo in the second number,Bach's E major Concerto forstrings, by our own talented young-ster, Broadus Erie, clown here fortwo purposes from the Curtis In-stitute at Philadelphia; first tomarry on Christmas Eve Hilde-garde Rees, Florida girl and likehimself graduate of the RollinsConservatory, who for several•years has played double-bass inthis orchestra; also to renew hispopularity with Winter Park mu-sic-lovers. The romance will em-

phasize the warmth of the "hand"that will welcome him.

Among the other soloists whowill ornament the season's pro-grams are Miss Mabel Riteh, con-tralto and Walter H. Trampler,violinist (who together give nextFriday their recital in the RollinsFaculty Recital Series). While thelater programs are subject not somuch to change as to rearrange-ment, it is sufficiently assured thatthey will include beside the num-bers mentioned above, CesarFranck's Symphony in D-minor,Bethoven's Third (("Eroica"), andWagner's ever-beloved Prelude toLohengrin and the Vorspiel undLiebestod from Tristan and Isolde.

On March 2nd the Orchestra willrepeat last year's successful Chil-dren's Concert in Orlando, and onMarch 20th give a concert at Sara-sota.

With this rich spread, the BachFestival, the series of faculty recit-als, and the visit February 23rd ofHans Kindler's National SymphonyOrchestra of Washington, andother occasions in prospect, themusical people, resident and tem-porary, of the Winter Park-Orlandocommunity and all this part ofFlorida, are promised a season ofrare and almost continuous enjoy-ment.

ART TRENDS DISCUSSEDBY DR, FAIRFIELD

Disclosing the temperamentaland political forces that impelledthe Rebirth in Italy, Dr. 0. P. Fair-field addressed the first session oi"Art Trends—Past and Present",Wednesday at the Rollins ArtStudio. President of the OrlandoArt Association, and an interna-tional authority on the Renaiss-ance, Dr. Fairfleld discussed as-pects o±" that epoch sometimes mis-construed.

The Renaissance, he said, hardlyhad a civilization. Barely out ofsavagery, Europeans crusadingagainst the fine old cultures of tieNear East brushed the hem of theancient Chinese civilization, andwere fascinated. They broxtghtback celery and spices to garnishtheir hearty feasting. It becamethe custom to seat the guest othonor next the common spice-pot,that he might dip therein morefreely. And thus the young civili-zation, in which knives and forks—and handkerchiefs—were unknown,began to affect a sporadic elegance.But, however rude these ways mayseem to later and more cleanly cul-tures; there is that astounding leg-acy of beauty, the work of the art-ists—and artisans—of the Renais-sance.Briefly, Dr. F airfield vignetted a

handful of these masters; Fra Phil-ippo Lippi, the first to paint theMadonna from life; from his wife,in faet—she was a lovely womanand winning her had been a long

Signorelli in-geniously placating the clerics bymaking all his nudes represent thedamned in Hell. Michelangelo bit-terly laboring on the Medici tomb,a job he loathed because heloathed the Medici.

Through two centuries this pag-eant ran its brilliant course, hap-pily always this side perfection.Finally, citing the power and mys-tery of Michelangelo's unfinished"Day", Dr. Fairfield commented onthe eternal paradox, that the ap-proach to perfection is worth morethan the goal.

The next meeting of "ArtTrends" will be held Wednesday,January 17, at 4:00 at.the Studio.As a sequel to Dr. Fairfield's talk,there will be a demonstration ofRenaissance media; egg tempera,gold leaf, oil paint, and the "Vene-tian secret".

POEMS BY CHARLES HYDE PRATT PUBLISHEDIN COLLECTION OF FLORIDA POETS

Three poems by our fellowtownsman, Charles Hyde Pratt,give special local interest to theFlorida Edition of "The Lantern",a well selected anthology of verseby poets of the state which hascome to the editor's desk. The col-lection is edited by Lefa MorseEddy, poet and critic, who is Presi-dent of the American LiteraryLeague, of Brooklyn, N. Y. A wellpresented little volume of 26 pages,the book includes poems by StellaTnttle, Vivian Yeiser Larrimore,,Fay Lewis Noble, Gertrude Gore,Hannah Shomer, Maidi Payne, D.Sanial Gill, Virginia M. Dougherty,Harriet Gray Blackwell, and oth-ers, many of which are based onFlorida environment.

Two of Mr. Pratt's poems aredirectly inspired by aspects ofWinter Park. "A FloridianAbroad" is easily identified as Mr.Pratt's own nostalgia for Floridaduring his winter spent in Cali-fornia a few years ago. "Winter

Visitor" sketchily depicts the"tourist" who sees only in Floridathe opportunity to get a littlemean satisfaction at his exemptionfrom the discomforts of the Northbut no appreciation for the beautyaround him.

Mr. Pratt makes interestingpoetry, and he often arrives at adepiction of beauty following a re-freshingly unconventional trail;his lines move easily along butnever without a purpose. He ex-presses a warm love of life andthe ever unfolding charms thatcome from the scent of orangeblooms and the changing lights ofsun and shade. He has the happyfaculty of robing simplicity in dig-nity and his sincerity makes hisverse ring' true. He has been therecipient of many honors at thehands of the Allied Arts of WinterPark.

We quote the two poems of Mr.Pratt's which have been mentioned.

A FLORIDIAN ABROADThe mountains here are beautiful when looked at from the town,But living on the side of one is not the life for me.The stony paths go steeply up or just as steeply downAnd stones and hearts are colder here than where I used to be.

A little town in Florida lies dreaming in the sunAbove the road the live oaks bend to form, a long arcadeFrom which the Spanish moss in pendants delicately spunHangs glowing in the golden light or darkens in the shade.

The pleasant homes along the way are open to the breezeAnd hats and coats and heavy work are rather out of styleA lazy colored boy is raking underneath the treesBut frequently he stops to rest, and smiles a lazy smile.

If I were there I'd soon be oub and strolling down the street,The men are not too busy to pass the time of day,The orange trees are blooming now and all the air is sweet.And mocking birds are singing too. But I am far away.

In Florida a thousand lakes lie smiling at the skyWhere clouds pile up like mountains, only softer and more kind."0 piled-up clouds, your colors are so beautiful", they cry,"That we should like to share them too. We hope you wotildn't mind."

"Why no. If you will promise to be very, very still,We'll send you tints of pearl and gold, and shadows deeply blue.But you must show them to your friends." "Oh yes, we will, we will."So say the little lakes, and on reflection, so they do.

Oh gentle, kindly Florida, your sand is in my shoes,The music of your "Hurry back" is singing- in my ears;Is singing, calling, telling me that never can I loseThese memories that cling like sandspux's through the miles and years.

WINTER VISITOR

Along a quiet street in Winter ParkJohn Oldman walked each afternoon at twoTo keep his one important rendezvous,Unseeing as though walking in the dark.He bought his Northern paper, crossed the street.,And on a bench beneath the live oak's shadeHe studied stocks and deals he might have made,Clucked at reports of blizzards, snow and sleet,Snorted at politics, read every wordOn home-town births and deaths and bargain sales,Then shuffled back. Around, in tempting view,Played beauty, life and love. A mocking birdTold most amazing and romantic tales.But none of this John Oldman ever knew,

DR. SHIPPEN TELLS HIS REASONS WHYHE LIKES TO LIVE IN WINTER PARK

Continuing the series of lettersfrom prominent Winter Park resi-dents giving the reasons why theylike to live in Winter Park, we pre-sent the following summary byDr. Eugene R. Shippen.

Climate. We were drawn toFlorida nine years ago, anxious toescape the New England winters,increasingly trying to us; and to"Winter Park in particular, becauseof its temperate climate, on theedge of the frost belt, without thedisadvantages of tropical condi-tions and the possible danger ofcoastal hurricanes. Climatic con-ditions, golden days, have fullyjustified our choice.

The Town. Winter Park met ourdemand for a residential townwhich was small, with large open-air spaces, and yet, at the sametime," free from ' the ' provincialismthat curses many small places;near a good shopping city (Orlan-do) and yet sufficiently removedfrom "the madding c r o w d."Lovely lakes, beautiful shade trees,a fine azalea garden,, the MeadBotanisal Garden with its notablecollection of orchids, a CountryClub, a golf course, and residencesof unusual architectural merit, to-gether, make of Winter Park to usthe moat attractive town in Florida.

Rollins College. This is natur-ally the chief asset of the town.Having spent many years, at homeand abroad, in or near a collegetown, I was assured here of a con-genial cultural atmosphere,, withabundant library facilities, publiclectures, concerts, plays and artexhibits, not to mention the privi-lege of being thrown with stimu-lating college teachers, RollinsCollege offers these advantages ina generous measure to winter resi-dents.

The Winter Colony. WinterPark is remarkably cosmopolitan, alittle Washington in that respect.

With enough New Englanders tomake us feel at home, but notenough to inhibit our innocentpaganism, the winter residents con-stitute a fair cross section of theUnited States. The UniversityClub, founded in 1935, strikinglyillustrates the nation-wide charac-ter of the winter colony. Its twohundred and four members havedegrees from ninety-four differentuniversities and educational insti-tutions, American and European!Fifty-nine, or nearly a third of themembership, are listed in "Who'sWho."

What with the college, a Univer-sity Club, the Annie Russell The-atre, the Symphony Orchestra ofCentral Florida, the Bach Choir,the Poetry Society, an active Gar-den Club, a live.Chamber of Com-merce, a clean business adminis-tration in our City Hall, and, notleast, the undenominational relig-ious services in the gloriousKnowles Memorial Chapel, a RalphAdams Cram masterpiece, by theway, Winter Park offers—well,"superlatives were made for veryyoung persons", as an old Boston-ian once said, so enough of my en-thusiasm.
