than that he has played audiences attest that he is a grea with equal success before a room full of red indians in ar izona and before the natives of hawaii he declares that the ind ians from the phoenix school were among the most responsive of any audiences for which he has ever played in london home of his birth music was familiar art his father was a gifted amateur violinist and his mother a pianist of consider able skill harold bauer is one of the few pianists in whose presence there is every promise of artistic security one who makes no assault on one's ears with the murderous devices

romanticist his art relates to no one composer he produces exquis ite models of tonal shadings by the mere pressure of key and ped al sentiment he proclaims with out sentimentality he possesses but he is not possessed by tech nic although he has devoted most of his time to recital work mr bauer has appeared with such world famous musical organiza tions as the symphony society of madrid the boston symphony the philharmonic society of london the cercle musicale of paris and the berlin philharmonic orchestra that the great cultural force of music appreciation continues to develop here mr bauer

shakespearean authorities picked miller's essay for first place from a group of nine entries which survived the regional eliminations besides miller the eight regional winners will receive a copy of

uni versity dr charles moore chair man of the commission of fine arts mrs robert c morris shakespearean association of am erica dr john t murray har vard university dr robert m smith lehigh university and dr william van wyck lecturer and author of all shakespeare's works his comedies in miller's opinion pro vide the best radio material as examples he mentioned as you like it and twelfth night as benefitting from columbia's re duction of their playing time i think the adaptor is to be highly commended for his method of pre senting these plays neither play i feel merits a three or four-hour performance and both plays are well suited to radio in the same category miller placed henry iv and much ado about nothing dislikes king lear miller felt some of the plays notably hamlet and julius caesar were unaffected by con densation for radio the single play which in the essayist's opin ion suffered from cutting was king lear taking issue with the shakespearean authorities who ad vised omission in the radio ver sion of the sub-plot of edmund and edgar miller declared that every true lover of shakespeare missed the intrigues and eventual pathos of that story he agreed with the adaptor that this minor plot is overstressed and is given too much space by the playwright his conclusion lear is not good radio material miller compared the function of the narrator in columbia's shake spearean repetoire to that of the chorus in ancient greek plays the brevity of some of shake speare's scenes he pointed out makes his plays difficult to pre sent on the modern stage because of limited technical facilities this same difficulty arises on the radio since narration is needed to des cribe the rapidity of the changes concluding his essay miller stated columbia has rendered a distinct and unique service to radio and drama on the radio it was a glorious moment for many people who have starved to hear shake speare's plays it was also a gold en opportunity for the general public to educate itself to the finest in drama o university club meets e k smiley assistant director of admissions addressed the uni versity club of bethlehem at its annual meeting held recently at i
