Gallo then applies the hot liquid directly to the clay model with an ordinary paint brush. The mixture cools and solidifies within seconds. When he achieves the proper thickness about i inch he strips the solidified form off the model and uses it as the casting mold. Measured amounts of polyester resin, catalyst and chopped glass fibers are mixed and poured into the mold. Gallo normally tints the resin before casting to achieve special tonal and textur-al effects.

Although cast figures can be subsequently painted, Gallo does not do this. He prefers the monochromatic effect. He does achieve various gradations of color by casting in several steps with different amounts of pigment in the mix. The casting hardens at room temperature in about 6 to 8 hours. The final step is the polishing.

Any of the techniques normally used to polish plastic can be adapted. Gallo uses' an electric buffer. Pianist Brailowsky Is Final Guest In Series A rising young Chicago sculptor is creating a stir in the art world with a series of life-size figures cast in reinforced plastics. The sculptor, 31-year-old Frank Gallo, turned to the rigid, lightweight medium because, "it not only gives greater freedom of expression than traditional materials, but also lends itself to sculpture suitable for the home. "My figures resemble marble or ivory, he said, "but are considerably lighter and have a warmer, more life-like tone." One of Gallo's newest pieces a sensuous, reflective figure entitled "Girl in Sling Chair" is now on exhibit at the Whitney Museum of Art.

It was recently purchased by the New York Museum of Modern Art and will soon become part of its permanent collection. Gallo, who works in polyester resin reinforced with glass fibers, has developed his own techniques for casting and finishing. As in all casting techniques, Gallo starts with a clay model. But, the special qualities of the polyester material require a radical departure from the standard plaster or sand molds used to cast bronze and other metals. Gallo experimented with many flexible mold materials, including wax, a wax- polyethylene blend and silicone rubber.

But none of these materials proved suitable. Gallo then turned to the U.S. Industrial Chemicals division of National Distillers and Chemical Corp. who suggested one of their new ethylene-vinyl acetate compounds (Ultrathene). The casting process is relatively simple.

An Ul-trathene-wax formulation is first heated to slightly above melting tempera 1965 p.m. today over Radio KGU.

"Stars and Stripes Forever" Sousa "Aloha Oe" Queen Liliuokalani "The Star-Spangled Banner" Francis Scott Key ADVERTISER March 28, Alexander Brailowsky, internationally renowned pianist, brings to a dose the Honolulu Symphony's outstanding 1965 Subscription Concert series when he appears with the Honolulu Symphony Orchestra, conducted by George Barati, at 4 p.m. April 4 and at 8 p.m. April 6 at Honolulu Concert Theatre. The New York Herald Tribune described Brailowsky as "a spidery little man of gentle demeanor who pounces on the piano with the temperament of a lion and steel springs in his fingers." Today Brailowsky is one of the few pianists who can fill Carnegie Hall and concert halls throughout the world. One recent season in Buenos Aires, he gave an incredible total of 17 recitals in the huge Teatro Colon in an eight week Page 22 period, not once repeating a work and turning away hundreds at every performance.

It was in 1924 in Paris that he accomplished his first Chopin cycle for which he has become famous: the first time in history that 172 Chopin works in six consecutive recitals had ever been presented by any one pianist. For his Honolulu appearances Brailowsky will play Rachmaninoff's Piano Concert No. 2 in minor. The orchestra's numbers will be Beethoven's "The Creatures of Prometheus" Overture, Opus 43, Mozart's Symphony in major and i Korsakoff's "Capriccio Espagnole."
