I i I Tribute to Charles Ives Takes Note Of Neglect of American Composer By MILES KASTENDIECK By devoting an entire evening to the music of Charles Ives the Columbia Festival of Contemporary Music paid a belated tribute to one of America's most original composers last night. Though it has been said of some of his music that it was the greatest composed by an American, still the American public at large is generally quite unfamiliar with his work. The very fact that it is difficult to per-form has militated against its being more widely heard.

It is something of a coincidence that the first performance of his Third Symphony, written over 40 years ago, should have been heard in New York for the first time last month and that this Charles Ives evening should have occurred only a month later. Whatever is generally known about Ives's music comes from his songs, of which he has written, over 200. These, however, do not occur frequently on recital programs, though almost every time -they do audiences are charmed by them. By nature nonchalant and reticent about his music, Ives has expressed himself most fully in the smaller forms. He has four symphonies to his credit though a performance of any one of them would probably be considered a complete novelty on most concert programs.

The program heard last night Included the Sonata No. 2 for Violin and Piano, first performed 25 years ago, but heard in New York for the first time last night; a group of songs, all but one of which came from a volume published in 1922 at Ives's own expense; the String Quartet No. 2, which had its first complete performance last night though it was composed between the years 1907 and 1913; "The Unanswered Question" and "Central Park in the Dark," which were given their first performances last night though the latter is 40 years old, and the Third Charles Ives was born in Danbury in 1874. He is a product of Yale and studied with Horatio Parker. Of interest to Brooklyn readers is the fact that he studied organ with Dudley Buck of Apollo Club fame.

He chose a business career instead of a professional life and established the life Insurance firm, Ives Se Myrick, managers of the Mutual Life Insurance Company, one of the largest of its kind. His avocation was, of course, music, and he appears to have been most fruitful in the decade 1906 to 1016. That his music was not playd does not seem to have bothered him a great deal When it was, as in the case of the Concord Sonata, written in 1915 but not heard until 1939, he was hailed as one of the most vital and original and audacious of composers. More important perhaps than anything else, is the fact that his style Is thoroughly native. His father's study of acoustics and his own recognition of natural expression led him into unconventional paths, often anticipating the modernism which made certain European composers stand out as leaders in their field.

He certainly recognized right at the start of the century that rhythm was to be the index of this age. Should his music ever meet with popular acceptance, it will be interesting to point out how America really began to learn about Charles Ives in the spring of 1946 when he was 71 years old. SPIRIT OF PACKER was best promoted by Renee B. Karsa, senior in the junior college. Miss Karsa received the annual award presented by the century-old school.

The test was made in New York and sent to Hollywood. When Wallis was casting for the role of Sam, he showed the test, along with the tests of five other to 300 women employes at the studio, stenographers, secretaries, messenger girls, file clerks. They were polled, and their vote was overwhelmingly in favor of the unknown.

In casting Douglas in the import' ant role in 'The Searching Wind" Wallis is keeping Intact the record he has made for creating a new star with each new picture. The list already includes Lizabeth Scott, sensation of "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers," Don DePore and Kirk Douglas. Sterling Holloway Had a Yen to Act Sterling Holloway knew a long time ago that no producer or di rector was going to be overcome by his looks and immediately sign him up to a long-term contract. But at IS he decided he was going to be an actor anyway. He started by trying to enroll in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts.

He didn't know that one Just doesnt make such a decision that to get into that venerable institution, one must possess definite qualifications. When he was asked by the in terviewer at the academy how long he had cherished the ambition to become an actor, Holloway remarked blandly, "For 15 "And were any of your folks on the stage?" the interviewer wanted to know. Holloway struck up a thoughful pose and said, "Oh, yes, my mother is stage-struck," and as an afterthought added, "My great-great aunt Lady Penelope Boothby had stage ambitions but her family didn't think it was nice for her to be an actress. For some reason, the academy decided it could not afford to pass him up so he joined with such other students as Spencer Tracy, Pat O'Brien, Allen Jenkins, Philip Loeb and Kay Johnson. Immediately upon graduation the Theater Guild cast him in "The Failure." Following this, he appeared in "Fata Morgana." Hollywood soon become aware of him and brought him to California to appear in "American Madness." His first and practically his last dramatic role In pictures, was in "Hell Below," in which he played a death scene in a submarine.

He remained in the film colony doing one picture after another. Finally he went into "Cheers for Miss Bishop" with Martha Scott. In the middle of the picture, he received the news that Treasury Secretary Morganthau had picked number 192 out of the Washington gold fish bowl, making Sterling the first civilian actor to become a soldier. However, a horse had a different idea. Three days later, it kicked him with such violence that it broke his leg and pushed him right back Into civilian life.

He spent the next three months in a Hollywood hospital and five months at his ranch while his leg was still in a cast. Soon after Pearl Harbor. Uncle Sam decided tlat if he could work wim sucn alluring company, he was wen enough to be a soldier On the day he received his private-first-class stripe, Hollowwav's commanaing omcer toid him to write, produce, and appear in an army show that had to open in two weeks. "Hey. Rookie" was the result, and to the surprise of all (especially Holloway) it ran nine months in Los Angeles.

It also rolled up a profit of $350,000 for the Army Relief Fund. Pfc. Sterling Holloway thereupon became Technical Ser geant Holloway. An overseas trip with "Hey, Rookie" followed. For a full year he traveled through Africa and Italy by truck, putting on two shows a day for the OIs.

He traveled over 60,000 miles. All this activity sent Holloway to the infirmary and then, via hospital ship, back to the United States for medical discharge His first assignment upon his re turn to Hollywood was the meaty and serious role of "McWilliams" in Lewis Milestone's production of "A Walk in the Sun," which Lewis Milestone produced and directed and which is now at the RKO Albee. Milestone for Carey Harry Carey will start his 50th year In motion pictures this month when he begins a major supporting role in Metro's "Sea of Grass," starring Spencer Tracy. Carey is oo years old.

His discovery was by the purest chance, the kind of thing that makes truth stranger than fiction. His final selection for the part in which he is making his Hollywood debut was the result of a unique vote among feminine employes on the Paramount lot Young Douglas, recently discharged from the navy, was in New York when Wallis was here a few months ago.

Hume Cronyn Is Surprised In Hollywood, the unusual is never a surprise.

Hume Cronyn says he Is living proof of the fact. "Up to the time I came out here," the actor explained on the set of "The Postman Always Rings Twice," his latest picture, now the Capitol, "I was always ribbed about my first name. I have come expect bewilderment when I am introduced, but Hollywood accepted me almost too casually. I never even got a chance to explain that I was named for my father, who was called Hume after his mother's maiden name; that the family estate in Ireland is still called Humewood, and that my son Christopher, inherits Hume as a middle name. Cronyn was born In Ontario, Canada.

After graduating from McGill University he enrolled i 1 the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and showed such exceptional ability he was offered an Instructor's post: For four years he taught, sandwich-ing-in Broadway stagfe appear ances. His plays include "Three Men on a Horse," "High Tor" and "Room Service." He came to Hollywood In 1933 to play in "Shadow of a Doubt" and "Phantom of tfie Opera." His recent films include "Lifeboat," "The Seventh Cross," "A Sailor Takes a Wife" and "The Oreen Years," the Radio City Music Hall hit. He is married to the actress Jessica Tandy.
