THE GUARDIAN Tuesday October 27 1064 9 review The first pilot BY J. R. L. ANDERSON BRITISH Admiralty charts and pilot-books are so supremely good that it is hard to imagine seafaring life without them. But they are recent in maritime history.

Even British coastal waters were not adequately charted until the middle of the last century a work which we owe, together with the Beaufort Scale for measuring 'wind forces, primarily to Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, who was Hydrographcr to the Navy from 1823-55. there were gallant earlier efforts, the first of which by Captain Greenvile Collins, a Younger Brother of Trinity House in the time of Charles II, is commemorated by the publication of a (slightly reduced) facsimile of his Great Britain's Coasting Pilot (Harrap, 8 8s). Greenvile Collins's "Pilot" came in for criticism (from Samuel Pepys and others) almost as soon as it was published, but in spile of many inaccuracies it was better than any other British work in existence, and stayed in print for 100 years, from its first edition in 1693 to the last in 1782. Harrap's facsimile, a beautiful reproduction of eighteenth-century print and map-engraving, is based on the edition published by Mount and Page in 1753. Before Collins, the Dutch enjoyed a lucrative monopoly of such charts as there were.

Lucas Janszoon Wag-henaer's "Spieghel der Zeevaerdt," published by the superb printer Christopher Plantin in 1584, soon appeared in English as "The Mariner's Mirrour, and was so popular that a corruption of Waghenaer passed into English as the general name for a marine atlas containing charts and pilotage notes bound in one volume for generations such books were called "waggoners." The v.ord is probably still in use in some' seafaring communities. As the seventeenth century wore on, economic rivalries with the Dutch at sea made it more and more undesirable to depend on the Dutch for charts. Dr A. H. W.

Robinson has described the difficulties of the period well in his outstanding work Marine Cartography in Britain." and quotes a testy comment by Pepys on the reputation of the Dutch chartmakers as being so much better than ours, even among ourselves." In 1681, thanks to some pressure from Pepys, Charles II provided Greenvile Collins with the yacht Merlin and commissioned him to survey the coasts of Britain. The King even paid for the work, though not very promptly. MOZART ORCHESTRA CONCERT at Manchester by J. H. Elliot THE Manchester Mozart Orchestra which, it is pleasant to record, is already building up a reputation in far-flung places as well as adding a new dimension to the musical life of its home city gave the first concert of its second Manchester season in the Renold Theatre last night.

It was a measure of the quality of the playing that it was consistently enjoyable in spite of the pitiless acoustics. It is inevitable that something should suffer when tone is strangled at birth and presented for clinical examination. It was by no means wholly the fault of the performance that the inner movements of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings (Waltz and Elegyl lacked the suggestion of moist-eyed languor implicit in the music. On the other hand. Bach (Suite in C) 'gained by, or at any rate survived, the absence of warm resonance.

This was a splendid opening item, fresh and buoyant. Paul Ward, who conducted, never allowed the performance to lapse into routine nd humdrum shapes. Mozart, who has a special sort of claim on the activities of this chamber orchestra, fared not badly in the accompaniment of his violin concerto, K218, though its outlines were sometimes too bold and rigid The soloist, Nella Wissema, played this youthfully lovable work with Mozartean purity of tone and phrase. EVERY OTHER EVENING at Manchester by Ann Shearer BEFORE the first curtain went up on Every Other Evening the resident Opera House musicians played gay French songs. It was the first of a number of attempts to make the audience enjoy the evening.

The first- song they tackled was Aupres le ma blonde if the spirit of this play was a woman, the blonde would be pure peroxide. Mile Francoise Campaux's comedy is of the French, bedroom genre. Perhaps it lost something in Jack Popplewell's adaptation. But whoever is responsible, the final result shows with a deadening clarity that a play of this sort must be intelligent to succeed. There was not one flash of wit in the whole dialogue, and as the characters plodded their predictable way through entanglements and disentangle-ments one began to wonder whether sex was worth it at all.

Yet the audience laughed. That this happened at all is a tribute to the cast, who double-took, shrieked, and shouted their way through episodes which they knew we knew were bound to happen. Their seeming determination to get to the end with all possible dispatch made our mutual acknowledgment of the play's badness the best joke of the evening. Margaret Lockwood and Diane Hart in particular, as the wife and mistress, created a very funny situation within a situation, strongly backed by an unfortunately brief display by Dolores Mantez, the son's girl friend. A good joke but hardly a lasting one.

By the end everyone seemed to acknowledge that, for this play, even every other evening would be too often. BEWITCHED on BBC-1 by Mary Crover rE corps of American film series on BBC television, even if it does not bulk very large in the whole output, is strategically stationed so that on four nights a week one or another occupies a peak time on BBC-X in the evening. Five altogether are deployed in this way at the moment; "Dr Kildare" on Saturday, "Bewitched" and "Perry Mason" on Monday, Slattery's People on Tuesday, and The Kogues on Thursday. Of these Slattery's People," though cut to a formula, had for a time at least the novelty of showing British viewers typical problems of the American Legislature. The Rogues is a very poor outfit boasting of stars who do not redeem outrageously silly plots.

Bewitched," which began last night, is something rather different, or will be until we find very soon that every instalment is roughly the same. It has a very naSve sense of humour, but while the idea is fresh it throws up some amusing situations. Darrin, who marries a pretty girl, Sam-anttia, and finds she is a witch, is only beginning to see the possibilities we can see only too well. Her witchcraft so far is mainly devoted to minor tricks, but she can disrupt an entire dinner party and discomfort a rival. It is very awkward to find your soup plate sliding about or a sudden gale blowing your clothes off.

We may not laugh quite so loud as the studio laughter (which is always much too loud), but with pretty Elizabeth Montgomery as Samantha the film had its points. American comedies, however, run in such narrow grooves that fun with this kind of witchcraft, week after week, becomes less entertaining in prospect. Collins, himself an experienced seaman, begins his Pilot by observing that as many ships are lost by ignorance and negligence as by stress of and exhorting shipmasters to be" "sober as well as skilful." His pilotage notes set a style that later Admiralty "Pilots" have followed concise, clear, and cautious. On Chichester, for instance, he writes, "To the eastward of the Owers is the going into Chichester, and very difficult therefore I advise none, but them that are acquainted to go in there without a pilot." The same hand might almost have written this warning, in the current Admiralty Pilot," of Jack Sound at the Western approach to Milford Haven, Unless compelled by circumstances, Jack Sound should only be used by vessels with local knowledge." In. the seventeenth century, indeed, almost to the end of the nineteenth, the sailing vessel conditioned life for the whole British community.

Before the motor lorry (it was the motor lorry rather than the train which killed the coasting barges and ketches) every village that could be reached by water depended on seaborne transport for its goods. The Dee was an important waterway, and gets more space from Collins than the Mersey Point of Air doth not only supply the neighbouring places with coals, but the Kingdom of Ireland." He does not much like the entrance to Liverpool: "There is a channel near Formby to go into Liverpool, where is 3 fath. at low waler on the bar, but this place is not buoyed or beakoned, and so not known. Ships lie aground before the town of Liverpool 'tis bad riding afloat before the town by reason of the strong tides that run here." There have been enormous changes in the relative importance of seaports. Southampton is marked on Collins's chart, but is not mentioned in his pilotage notes; Arundel, Christ-church, and Lulworth Cove all have paragraphs to themselves.

Fowey, Falmouth, and the Helford River have a whole page between them. Fair Isle, in the Orkneys, had a special importance because the Dutch East Indiamen called there regularly. Collins explains, "The Dutch East-India ships, as they come and go from India, sail between the islands of Orkney and Shetland and homeward bound they send ashore at this Faire Island for letters of advice." In the days before wireless the port of call "for orders" was of vital importance to shipping: masters would be told where to take cargoes for the best markets, or, if their ships were in ballast, where to go to pick up a freight Coilins spent seven years over his survey, covering most of the coast of Britain and including the Orkneys and Shetlands. Much of his chart- work was extremely sketchy, but his methods and instruments were primitive, and although he got paid in the end he was often short of money while doing the work. He seems to have been as painstaking as his means and the value of his work is shown by the fact that people went on buying it for 100 years.

It is hard nowadays to understand the importance of such a pilot-book in the eighteenth century it was at least the equivalent of the AA book and Bradshaw in one, with the added importance that it might save your life or your goods from being wrecked. Perhaps because marine cartography is a rather specialised subject, Greenvile Collins is not much known; yet his contribution to the development of British life was substantial. This facsimile edition of his work, nutting it on the market again in the fourth century after its original publication, is a pleasing reminder of him. L. S.

LOWRY EXHIBITION at Newcastle by W. E. Johnson RICHARD HAMILTON EXHIBITION at the Hanover Gallery by Frederick Laws PAINTINGS etc. '56-64" by Richard Hamilton at 1hi Wannew flnllnrv St George Street, London 1, consists of 35 QLIGHTLY embittered, perhaps, because success came too late in life, after both his' parents had died, L. S.

Lowry has a strong sympathy for those other neglected characters less fortunate than himself. The Geoffrey S. Bonnet collection of early drawings and watereolours seen a few years ago, first at Middlesbrough and then on Tyneside, has already shown this sympathy in action in crowd scenes of those job-hunting during the depression of the twenties who were forced to doss down in lodging houses offering beds at 4d and 6d a night. Now in the Alonty Bloom collection of iate figure paintings showing at the Stone Gallery, Newcastle upon Tyne (until November 14). his sympathy for his feHow-sufferers has again been spotlighted.

Here is whole wide, rich anthology of unfortunates in close-up a man, for example, getting a drink at a water-fountain, a woman with twisted mouth, and a man slumped, drunkenly perhaps, at the foot of the stairs. Even in his own work these figures are not without precedent The bowler-hatted man with red muffler at Leeds dates from 1944 and the Man sleeping on a wall," who he says he saw from the top deck of a bus, belongs to In the latter, leaning against the wall on which the man stretches full length, is a small attache case bearing the initials S.L." Are all of these, like the multiple variants of the full frontal Man with red eyes," self-portraits Or are they just versions of the artist's alter ego? Unique they certainly are and from the whole history of art I can think of only one close parallel the dark, solitary, peasant figures of Van Gogh's Neunen period. Lowry, alas, and to the chagrin of future art historians, had no brother Theo with whom to correspond. quotations from horror films and their posters. He is not, however, denouncing the visual world of admass or accepting it.

This spares us the rhetoric of the pop artists whose celebration and mourning of conspicuous consumption has become a weariness to the eye. This exhibition covers the work of eight years and is more a record of research into a possible new language for art than a simple show of paintings. There is no symbol-waving or shock trickery here or very little. Mr Hamilton mixes his techniques into wholes which are smoothly elegant and have formal dignity. I found often that I preferred his smaller sketches to the final work, but then I have plainly not been converted yet by his argument.

What a naive spectator, unsupported by explanatory catalogue, would make of this exhibition I find hard to guess. He would presumably recognise some comment on the eroticism and technological preoccupations of our society and might like the looks of the pictures purely as abstracts. What anyone is to make of an American comic button reading "Slip It To Me" which Mr Hamilton has blown up to a 48in. diameter panel called "Epiphany 1964 I cannot imagine. Almost as puzzling is a "Portrait of Hugh Gaitskeli As a Famous Monster of Filmland based on a positive hatred" for the subject's influence on British politics." The aggression of the method of "satire" would win sympathy for the victim.

Failure to understand Richard Hamilton's latest work is a little disturbing. He was responsible for two of the most memorable, lucid and intelligent exhibitions of recent times, "Growth And Form" and "Man, Machine, and Motion" at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, and collaborated with Victor Pasmoro on the basic design scheme for art teaching. oils, collages, prints and gouaches. There is often a mixture of media, and several paintings are shown in variant versions in different stages of production. The artist describes them as having been produced in a spirit of polemic they are paintings of and about our society." He accompanies them with a catalogue which lucidly annotates his intentions for each picture, describes its history of development and the technique used in it.

The polemic Involved is more about aesthetics than about the condition of society. Mr Hamilton is concerned with pop art but not producing it. He plainly considers it a duty to bring life as tt is today into painting, and uses bits of photographs of President Kennedy and aeronaut Glenn, fragments from motor advertising, architectural sketches, girlie photos, and THEATRES LONDON THEATRES MANCHESTER NOTTINGHAM OPED.A HOUSE.
