Schumann took the Byron text for this closet drama, cut it considerably, and wrote a quantity of incidental music which, except for the well-known overture, is never heard.

The romantic fustian of the lines, one must admit, is often eflective, and their poetry is materially aided by the accompanying Schumann setting. In this wedding of words and music the words are more important and the "melodrama" would not ordinarily be played for the music alone, yet there are various movements of musical beauty and drama. Perhaps of a little special interest, but certainly worth doing. Ormandy always has a lucky hand with Sibelius, and on ML-524!) with the Philadelphia Orchestra he plays four lesser suites with beauty of tone and sympathy for the music. These are En Saga, Pohjola's Daughter, Occanides, and Taniola.

all representative of Sibelius's imaginative reconstruction of northern myths, combining poetry and drama in equal parts, and in En Saga one of Sibelius's more effective orchestral climaxes. Robert Casadesus plays Beethoven's "Moonlight." "Appas-sionata." and Sonatas No. 2fi "Les Adieux." and No. 24 "A Thcrese." This is a full Beethoven program played with the authority and precision and justness one would expect of such a pianist in the first rank. Casadesus' control is especially valuable in "Les Adieux," a very difficult sonata to play really well.

LOU COSTELLO BACK IN FILMS HOLLYWOOD. April Word that Lou Costello is returning to the screen to make his first movie in three years is both glad and sad news glad that this roly-poly little man will a'zain hand us laughs. And sad because he won't have his long-time partner, Bud Abbott.

In a deal nut together by Famous Artists, Lou will star solo in "Big Girl" with Eddie Sherman 'the Abbott and Costello manager of many years producing. The author, Rowland Barker, whose story has an Americana background, a'so wrote "The Rocky Graziano Story." and director in television, in conversation with famous celebrities. Here, Michaelis chats with "the first lady of the world," Eleanor Roosevelt, in the intimacy of her home. The topics they touch upon vary from personal reminis-censes of her great husband and of an earlier President, Theodore Roosevelt; to her views on raising children; through bits of her philosophy on the future of man: to revealing anecdotes about the "braintrust-ers" who made the New Deal. Charming, warm, relaxed, Mrs.

Roosevelt projects easily in these delightfully unrehearsed moments her and greatness. The listening experience is one that you will find unforgettable and one you ill ant to return to again and again! Otherwise, it would be forced love, and God couldn't countenance nor accept that.
