THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN SATURDAY MARCH 24 1956 Music Survey MISCELLANY A MORAL TALE Is I By Neville Cardus of the Lapithae and the Centauri. a monstrous race of Thessaly, half men and half horses, whose legendary shape may preserve memories of the first encounter between the primitive Inhabitants of Greece and cavalry forces. Like the recent riots, the bloodthirsty contest between the two races, which was to be commemorated for centuries throughout classical ftm'es in sculpture, painting, and poetry, began with over-indulgence in festivity. The Cyprus riots sprang from a drinking bout celebrating the beginning of the Orthodox Lent. The contest celebrated mythology was the outcome of the meeting of the two hostile races as guests at the wedding feast of Pirithous, King of the Lapithae.

when the Centaurs drank too freely of the generous supplies of wine provided. For some reason the ancient world seems to have adopted the legendary contest as the most hideous example of the effects of intemperance and it is cited as such by a long succession of poets notably by the Roman Horace from Homer onwards.

Louis Parensell I was much amused bv the reference to my old friend Louis Parensell (not Paransel) in your leader on the latest addition to political mythology, Perebzhchik (writes Sir Linton Andrews). When I exposed Virginia Moore's mare's nest in 1936 I never foresaw that the person evolved out of Emily's Love's Farewell would be remembered twenty years later. Oddlv enough, though I was the spoilsport, it was not I who used the magnifying glass but Virginia Moore, who. coming on a little red notebook of Emily Bronte's at the British Museum, examined it under a microscope, though the poem is not written in the minute script of the juvenilia of Charlotte and Branwell. Surely it is superficial of W.

L. A. or any other person," wrote Virginia Moore. to voice disagreement on the basis of anything short of the Smith manuscript itself. 1 arrived at my conclusion not after one hour but after many days of staring through a microscope at the original." I admit cheerfully that it did not take me one minute to read the title as Love's as I think anv journalist who was accustomed to reading much manuscript would Poor Virginia Moore! so far as I know she never admitted the mistake she had made.

Who Was He? One of the amusing memories of that controversy is that the Times Literary Supplement" had a three-column headline asking who Louis Parensell was. Later the. "T.L.S." published a brief letter by C. W. Hatfield, the Bronte scholar, saying, as I had already said, that Louis Parensell was a misreading of Love's Farewell." I am glad you refer to the rather pedestrian title." The title, Emily's own, was altered later by Charlotte to Last Words." when she was preparing Emily's poems for the printer.

It is a matter of taste," I said twenty years ago, but I should call 'Love's Farewell' a Family Herald title." How pleasant it is to find an opinion of mine confirmed bv the Manchester Guardian." Lapithos and Lapithac. The classical student, reading accounts of the recent unhappy clash between Turks and Greeks in the neighbourhood of Lapithos, near Kyrenia in Cyprus, may well have been reminded of the old legend of the strife between the mythical nation The tramcar. a disappearing mode oE transport, still exerts a-fascination. This model tramway is on view at the Northern Models Exhibition, in Manchester. New Films in London 1 "ALEXANDER THE GREAT" IS TOO BIG i Mr Rossen's Honourable Attempt From our London Film Critic In 1875 Wagner arrived in Vienna to Conduct at the State Opera.

Hugo Wolf was then a student at the Conservatoire, in his sixteenth year, and not far removed from poverty. He described in a letter how he went to see and hear the Meister It was Tannhauser. I took up my place at a quarter past two, although the opera only began at half past six. There was such a frightful scrimmage that I was worried about myself. I wanted to back out, but it was impossible, for no one near me would make way.

So nothing remained for me to do except stay in my place. At last the door was opened, the whole crowd pushed their way inside, and it was fortunate that I was drawn into the middle, for if I had not Eot to the side I should have been crushed against the wall. But I was richly compensated for my mortal anxiety. I got my good old place in the gallery. Eighty years after this memorable happening in the short life of Hugo Wolf, I myself went to Vienna and I walked up a spacious staircase at the first night of the reopening of the State Opera in November, 195S.

I was admitted to a seat in a box, after showing a ticket priced at a sum which would easily have kept young Wolf alive for nearly half a year. As I ascended the staircase, with elegance and luxury all round, I thought of all the greatness enshrined in this building, the men who had been in charge of it Richter, Mahler, Weineartner, Schalk, Bruno Walter, Strauss, Clemens Krauss. And when Karl Bohm, the man chosen to govern and guide the resurrected Staats-oper, took his place at the conductor's desk, and as the great distinguished audience rose to welcome him. with Bruno Walter and the Vienna Philharmonic leading the applause, 1, for the only time in my life, envied another man. "'This," I said to myself, is Bohm's finest hour.

He has attained to a power and glory far beyond any dreams which could possibly have visited him when he vas a young student. Now might he chant his Nunc Dimiltis Less than half a year after the night of Bohm's apotheosis, the following statement and comments appeared in a Munich newspaper Dr Karl Bohm. the director of the Vienna Opera, has resigned. From August 31 next he will be guest conductor only. The differences between the Ministry of Education (who insisted that Bohm be solely active at the Opera for seven to eight months a year) and the conductor i who wanted to maintain his extensive activity abroad could not be reconciled." Bohm recently absented himself from Vienna and when he returned he was hissed by the audiences in the "standing-places" and the gallery: for while he had been away some of the performances drooped to routine and hastily improvised standards.

Bohm might conceivably argue that he had successfully launched the new Opera in Vienna during the months of November and January. But the fact is that while he was launching it the prices of admission remained luxuriously high. The average Viennese music-lover "did not object that only the people with money, mainly visitors, could be present for the glamorous inaugural periods if they could afford to pay through the nose, very well all was grist to the mill. Obviously Bohm chose, to absent himself from felicity at a tactlessly wrong moment, the moment of the ordinary man's opportunity. To a handsome book produced to celebrate the Opera's reopening.

Dr Bohm contributed an article in which he stressed the importance of a oermanent ensemble at any great opera house. "I can announce with pride and pleasurr; that we have for the next three years made secure a first-class ensemble for Vienna." Stendhal did most' of it for them and did it bettei1 Tribute to a Bad Man (at the Empire) is not like every other "Westernt" and that partly because its cast contains James Cagney, one of the few who can lift a script to a standard not deserved by its writer, and partly because Robert Wise's direction has a rare sense of time and place, of rhythm and of quietness. This is an unusually competent job and a pleasant introduction of two new-comers to the screen. Don Dubbins and Irene Pappas. ART COLLECTIONS AT LEEDS A Year's Acquisitions The world is open at the present time for rather unconscientious exploitation by the musical stars." From north, south, east, and west thev are attracted by material awards hard to resist.

The plane is really an enemy to style and continuity of tradition in the opera houses of our period. Once' upon a time, a conductor or a singer regarded that the ambition of a lifetime had been fulfilled the day on which he was engaged as permanent member ofJ the company of an historic opera house to be one of the Vienna State Opera was to be among the ehoseri few. To-day much more money can be earned by singers and conductors by appearing here and there and everywhere as guests," birds of passage, flying by night. An opera director in Munich produces Zauberflote in his own theatre and in Rome, both in the same week. The director of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, recently appointed, is scarcely seen oflener now in Berlin than when he appeared there at concerts as guest." Presumably the only permanent factor in the new arrangement is the salary guaranteed to him by the Berlin Philharmonic.

The crowds in the galleries and standing places in Vienna should be congratulated that thev forcibly, if unmusically, expressed themselves against Dr Bohm's precipitate withdrawal from a scene wnich for ordinary opera-goers had not yet got through its first act. I a director of an opera does not consider himself essential to a permanent ensemble, can we blame singers not less famous than Dr Bohm they too fall to temptations trom other quarters Most of us, were we appointed to an office as honourable and responsible as that of Director of the Vienna Opera, would devote the rest ot our lives to a proud and jealous service, working or watching night by night; we would hardly take leave or our eyes from a single performance or rehearsal, whether in Vienna or Covent Garden, at least not during the first year of our appointment Or wouldn't we? In December, 1907, Gustay Mahler wrote a valedictory letter to th Vienna Opera he had dedicated himself to it for ten vcars. trai sforming it to the finest in the world. (Between whiles, during his holidays. he composed his greatest symphonies, and Das Lied von der r.roe.

nere is parv ul nriamd a icllci of farewell: The hour has come which brings our common work to an end. I take my Jeave fromahe workshop which I have come to love. I dreamed of rich and complete work, and instead of this I leave behind fragments unfinished." (After ten years of genius!) "It is not for me to judge what mv work has given to those to whom it was dedicated. Yet at this moment I can sav for myself that I was sincere and my aim was high. In the throng of battle, in the heat of the moment, you and I were sometimes hurt or hit by error.

But once a work was achieved, a problem was solved we felt fullv rewarded, even without obvious signs of success All of us have travelled a long way. and with us the opera house for which we have worked." On September IB. 1897, Hugo now 37. ioined his friend Hellmer at ttieir table in the restaurant in Vienna, Zum braunen Hirschen." Wolf, agitated and hungry, consumed his choD in torn shreds.

i nr. Hinii in Modern Ureas -FINISHED PORTRAIT." ITV DRAMA A CUT ABOVE THE AVERAGE Two Major Plays in a Week By Bernard Levin Walt Disney in "The African Lion" (at Studio One) deals with the wild life of Africa much as in his two previous true, life adventures," as they are called, he dealt with trie flora and fauna of the United States. The treatment this time is perhaps a little less imaginative, but the chief and paradoxical reason why the African film is less impressive than its two American predecessors is that American wild life has seldom 'been filmed whereas the lions and giraffes and zebras and elephants of darkest Africa have been film stars for years (mostly in American Alms). This time it was difficult for Mr Disney's cameramen to be original. All the same, they have produced some magnificent pictures for instance of cheetahs, leopards, and lions hunting.

The lion though honoured in the film's title makes on the whole a poor the king of beasts is in fact the laziest and least noble of the cats of Africa. "TANSY" Mr Pitfield's Opera at Wirral School At the Wirral county grammar school for girls' at Bebington on Thursday nignt, the first performance was given of an opera for girls by Thomas Pitfield. The title. lansv. or Autumn Nocturne, promised less favourably than the work proved.

The libretto, written, by the composer, is set in the. seventeenth century, and combines a nice variety of education and girlish ingredients a proper moral, a little history, religion, and sentimentality. witches, even a dream-ballet (style Jobss- or iwarma uranam, with rrequent lignt relief orovided by an owl. a bat, a cat, and a mouse, who entertain one another with a stream of school puns, mala-propisms and witticisms, while first watching and later upsetting tSe human activities. It is a cleverly devised piece for its purpose, and the composer has set it to music no less apt.

He employs choir and soloists, violin, cello, percussion, and piano-duet, and succeeds, at a higher level of taste, and skill than is generally found in school operettas, but with the simplest technical and musical means, in providing appropriate music, at a school level, for scenes as varied as a ballet of good and evil spirits, a witches' dance, a Quakeress's prayer, a morris dance, and even an exoressive pathetic interlude. It could hardly be made suitable for performance anywhere other than at a girls' school, but fince it was written for that purpose, this cannot be held against it. even if memory is unkind enough to recall "Dido and Aeneas." The school, which is strong in music, an.1 has had practice in the past in several fairly ambitious operatic and other musical ventures, presented it with confidence and ease in the singing, acting, and staaing alike.

At the eighth Northern Models Exhibition, organised by the Northern Association of Model Engineers, which opened at the Corn and Produce Exchange, Manchester, yesterday, railway, traction, marine, and other steam engines predominated.

True, the junior section consists almost entirely of aircraft but there is, apparently, an economic reason for this. Model aeroplanes are cheap, and comparatively easy to build before graduating to steam engines one must have the price of a lathe, which may be about 40. One must also have the patience of maturity. Mr L. G.

Formilli, a rolling-mill superintendent from Sale, has been building a large working model of a showman's traction engine for about nine years in two more it may be finished. Most of the more complicated models are made by engineers but a medical practitioner is showing a radio-controlled yacht, a wine merchant a 2-6-0 Mogul locomotive, and a packing-case maker a steam-driven United States' Navy tug. Aircraft modellers include a company director. two decorators, and a chemist. The Myford Trophy for the best model in the show was awarded to a Jin.

scale Beyer Garratt locomotive, entered by Mr A. W. G. Tucker, a retired engineer, of Bramhall. This model also won the trophy for the best exhibit by an N.A.M.E.

member, and the Evening Chronicle trophv for the oest locomotive model. Mr Tucker also won the N.A.M.E. general models trophy iui ins inpie-exoansion mnripns mn engine. In the handicrafts section the familiar housewives' entries yielded the prize to a suit of armour made by Mr E. Hutchinson, a Rochdale vehicle-builder.

EXIT "TREVALLION" Ballet Takes Over It is hardly surprising that the Cornish comic opera Trevallion at the Palace is closing to-night. It had as 'Unanimous a critical trouncing as any plav for years. Its departure leaves a gap in the Palace season which is being plugged at very short notice by Les Ballets Africains. a company of dancers from various parts of French Africa which till recently was appearing at the Champs Elvsees in 'Paris. It will fill the bill at the Palace for two and a half weeks from Wednesday.

Peter Hall, who is becoming as "inevitable a producer as Peter Brook used to be. is directing Donald Alberv's presentation of Gigi." This is adapted from Colette by Anita Loos and the chief parts will be played by Leslie Caron, Tonv Britton, Estelle Winwood. Marv Clare. Kathleen Michael. Esme Percy, and Jessie Evans.

The play will begin a tour on April 9 calling at Brighton. Glasgow. Aberdeen. Edinburgh, and Manchester before opening in London. The first nights in London next week are: Tuesday.

Unfor-by the Oeorge Jean Nathan stnnriarr a I tunately. the fhow in wnich he appeared Anyone who, in novel or in film, would take a great man as his subject would do much better to deal with just one episode or two from the great man's, life than to try to deal with the whole of it. But that truism is not the sort of advice which film-makers care to take and it has not been the way of Robert Rossen in producing, directing, and writing "Alexander the Great" (at the Odeoh. Leicester Square). Had he been less ambitious he might have made a memorable work (with a bit of help from someone to take'the Delphic and, occasionally, laughable double-talk out of his script), for at least he equipped himself with a most impressive pair of actors, Fredric March (as Philip of Macedon) and Richard Burton las a remarkably likely Alexander).

To an extent almost unrivalled in pseudo-historical pageants of the screen these two. sustained their mighty burdens and emerged as interesting people, not as overloaded ciphers. Had Mr Rossen narrowed his tairget and shortened his sights he might, out of some single episode chosen to illustrate the stress and strain between the great father and the greater son, have produced something really dramatic and cofierenL But he would not be content With less than the whole of Alexander the Great his youth, the Gordian knot, Darius, the march to India, his death. And the result is a great, unwieldy blunderbuss of a film, for all its avoidance of most of the follies of. its kind and for all its honourable attempt to do justice to Alexander's Macedonian barbarism as well as to his Aristotelean culture, instead of making him just another glossy boy from 'Hollywood with big muscles and a trite love-story.

Even so the first of the film's two nearly equal pans it lasts for 161 minutes, by the way is by no means bad in this part Philip is still alive and there is plenty of cogent drama in the relationship between father and son, not a little complicated by the steadfast claim of the mother (Danielle Darrieux) that the son had been fathered not by Philip but by a god. But by about half-time Philip dies, Alexander sets off for Asia, and (relieved by a curiously poignant interlude for the fall of Darius endless marches, countermarches, banquets, and gallopings ensue. This second part is a confused b'ore. The film was made in Spain, which allowed plenty of dry open space for army manoeuvres, but meant that scarcely, adequate studio props replaced the Greek architecture and sculpture. In the supporting cast of millions a few bearded fellows distinguished themselves notably Harry Andrews as Darius and Barry Jones as a rather jolly Aristotle.

Claire Bloom (as the nearest thing in the film to the great man's "true languished and tiraded with dignity In any other company big might also have seemed the word for Le Rouge et Ie Noir" (at the Paris-Pullman), a film in which that very capable director Autant-Lara has most sedulously followed Stendhal prescription and has been much assisted by Gerard Philipe (Julien borel) and by Danielle Darrieux. who unsurprisingly, looks rather more at home" as Mme de Renal than as 'Alexander's mother. This is a very well-acted and tasteful work which, however, never auite loses its carefully borrowed look it is a frequent reminder that, well as Autant-Lara and his colleague have done it.

Critics I often accused of attackine a work I Mercutio. purchased by the Leeds Art Collections Fund a rococo mirror in the style of Thomas Johnson, bought from the Corporation Fund and a handsome pair of carved and gilt torcheres attributed to John Pelletier, also bought from the Corporation Fund with the aid of a grant from the Ministry of Education. A group of Chinese and Korean furniture, embroideries, paintings, are mostly gifts from Sir Alvary and Lady Gascoigne, with some additions from Lady Ramsden and a verv splendid English silver flagon of 1686 (from the Swaythling collection) has been given by Mrs Penrose May.

The most important of the pictures is without question On the Lagoons, Venice." by Francesco Guardi, given by the National Art-Col lections Fund out of the Ernest Cook bequest, from which come also an important addition to Leeds's already notable series of watercolours bv J. S. Cotman, and an uncommonly large and well-preserved watercolour. by Peter de Wint, of Bolton Abbey Sir Alvary and Lady Gascoigne have most generously donated an interesting series, of pictures, including seascapes by Backhuyzen. Charles Brooking.

Koekkoek, and Dominique Serres, together with a night landscape by Aert van der Neer and a religious subject by A. van der Werff, and some English anecdotal pictures bv Rippingille and others. The gallery's own purchases, from the Corporation Fund, include a series of portraits of members of the Fountayne family, of which the most interesting are of Thomas Fountayne. a signed example by Mary Beale, and of Frances Maria Fountayne. also signed, by Joseph Highmore and also some contemporary works, among which the younger realists, both English (Derrick Greaves and French (Yves Ganne and Rend Aberlenc).

figure prominently, though other trends are represented too. by a large near-abstract of Terry Frost's and a small bronze by Kenneth Armitage. Even such a summary account would be misleading did it rot also mention a large collection of drawings by Phi? May. J. Rhodes and others, an extensive series of prints, mostly of little significance, but headed by a "Clown" in aquatint (not lithography, as the catalogue has it) bv Rouault.

and Rembrandt's etching of Abraham Entertaining the Angels." If additions to its stock continue to pour in at this rale Leeds, already one of the most important of art collections, will soon be needing another mansion the size of Temple Newsam in order lo house them, and a greatly augmented staff in order to catalogue and look after hem.

risAei I at Hall (UEL iHtk InuicriJil -rnLy 20 Kmil Si 1, An exhibition of a year's acquisitions by one of our greater provincial art galleries would not normally be expected to reveal much in the way of a consistent pattern- of development the period is too short, and any particular policy pursued by the director or purchasing committee is likely to be obscured by the acquisitions due to gifts or bequests. In spite of these general observations, however, the exhibition which opened at Temple Newsam yesterday, devoted to acquisitions of the Leeds Art Galleries since April 1, 1955, shows both an astonishing profusion and certain consistent trends of policy. Gone, certainly, are the days when the art collections of a city Kke this consisted mostly of English nineteenthrcentury subject-pictures together with a few watercolours. The aim of policy now is obviously far wider it envisages the formation of a representative series of English and other furnishings, a comprehensive collection of British painting, with subsidiary Dutch, French, and Italian collections, and a series of oriental objects which, though still patehy. is already of importance.

The explanation is. no doubt, that an actively pursiied and iniemgenny directed policy not only calls to its support the municipal committee and the local Art Collections Fund but also attracts gilts and hequests from private individuals and national bodies such as the Contemporary Art Society and the National Art-Collections Fund. indeed, with the inestimable advantages of such a magnificent house as Temple Newsam at its disposal, is in the enviable position of being able to exhibit a much greater proportion of its possessions than most comparable institutions, and this in itself is no doubt an incentive to potential givers an incentive enhanced still more by the happy effect so often achieved by its director in the harmonious display of varied material. During the year under review a number of notable gifts have been received, none of them more remarkable than a collection ot about thirty pieces of Spanish furniture, mostly of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, given by Lady Ramsden in memory of the late Lord Ramsden. Such collections are rare in this country, and probably no other British gallerv can show so fine a series, chairs with characteristic embossed and painted Cordova leather backs and seats, chests, trunks and bible boxes with marquetry inlay, tables and secretaires.

There are also fine pieces of English furniture from various sources a Sheraton style bow-fronted sideboard and a pair of knifeboxes of the same period, given by Lady Martin a writing-desk in Chinese-Chippendale style TUESDAY MID-DAY CONCERTS ALBERT HALL, TUESDAY MARCH 17 1 10 p.m. LEON GOOSSENS, Oboe Divertimento on themes by.
