RICHARD BURTON'S"HIGHER THAN HILLS"

By Rose Mills Powers"Higher Than Hills," the title

poem of Richard Burton's latestvolume of verse (just off the pressand dedicated to his wife, Guth-rie Harding, the well known poet),is a work of great significance tohis thousands of readers.

This timely poem voices the un-faltering credo of a sturdy cham-pion of the more solid and endur-'ing- human verities over a writingperiod of more than forty years.In an era of conflict, fear and in-security with its inevitable per-versions in art and literature, hereis a heart-stirring appeal to a dis-illusioned and bewildered genera-tion to break away from the tram-mels of flesh to the high adventureof the spirit:The saint and the sage and the

clear seeing bardAre with him, companions who

hold up his hands,They throng from all lands,

* >l< >!' >H

Let him stake out his claim,On his lips the ineffable Name,In his heart the unquenchable

flame, • .For the secret is riddled, the con-

quest complete,A.nd. he flashes a message to all

laggard feetTo strive like to him, to aspire, at

last to attain •The homestead most holy, the city

that shines without stain.To this reviewer, this challeng-

WINTER PARK ENJOYSITS OWN ORCHESTRA

There were many moments dur-ing the Symphony Orchestra con-cert last Wednesday evening whenone might have closed his eyes andimagined himself in that, greatmusic hall on 57th Street whosevery walls are hallowed by thereverberations of the world'sgreatest orchestra. And here wewere in our own Auditorium andnot even at the mercy c.f imps ofthe static whose improvisationswould make the divine Arturo flingaway his .baton in despair couldhe but hear them mangle his bodyartistic.

There is no need for compari-sons. We. do not need to gaugeour enjoyment of symphonic musicen the provincial notion that ourorchestra is not as good as thePhilharmonic. We are afforded anopportunity for a much keenerpleasure—that of sitting in as

Art Studeniis-'Lsague, and. 13 yearsunder Kenneth Hayes Miller. Hehas had a number of exhibitions inthe North, among which was oneat the Gallery of Valentine Duden-sing. Mr. Dudensing was the or-ganizer cl the first exhibition ofmodern art in this country, anda critic of high standing, whohas said that "Commander Dyerwas one of the few painters tohave a sense of col?r value."These oil landscapes of Florida,Arizona and the Dyer's owncharming Penquin Island are donein a very simple pallet, using alight key. This work has beensaid to have a resemblance toCezane and Dufy.

Mr. Dyer has been a pupil of.Guy Peine du Dois and ThomasBenton and has held other ex-hibitions in Mcntclair, N. J.

"THE GUARDSMAN"" When Creditor Kilroe told ActorGevrge Holt in the last act of"The .Guardsman" that all his dis-guising was ridiculous and didn'tfool anybody the writer felt thatthe clever Molnar had uncon-sciously taken a shot at his ownplay. For although Director Dor-othy Lockhart chose a brilliantvehicle for the cpening of theAnnie Russell Series, there is alack of real life in the thing thatis not compensated for by anyamount of brilliance. The .emo-tions of actor people seldom havebeen known to evoke sympathyfrom the rest of us, and the onlyway to get a kick tut of theirstrained relations is to make sucha tour de force that will dazzle anaudience by fiery projections oftemperament and mi^h volcanicsentiment.

RICHARD BURTON(Oonlinued from Page 1)

Hills," ranks with the work of Mil-ton, Browning-, Tennyson, Whit-man, Lowell and Markham, andwill be quoted as one of the firstrallying calls to a soul-sick worldto climb back from "the drab lowerlevels of today" to the high widespaces of the Spirit.

It is a pleasui'e to review thework of a poet who is articulateand no experimenter with bizarreand uncertain verse form. RichardBurton invests a wide range ofsubject matter with high dignityof language, an occasicnal flashof native Yankee humour and al-ways with, a sure sense of rhythmand technique.

The three departments of thevolume, entitled Melody, Counter-point and Harmony, are an expo-sition of the sure touch and singingquality of the poet's work and, ina "way, form a symphonic whcle.Especially appealing to the re-viewer in "Melody" are "A Pic-ture", "Prayer", "The Lane" and"Before a Shrine" for their beautyof lyrical expression. Counter-point, in its mood of

"Some hour of sodden grayWhen every fool derides meAndjoy gleams far away,"

has many arresting poems, strik-ing a note of rebuke in "Heavenand. Earth" and "The Lay of theWar Lords," the note of primitive

instinct in "Always the Sun," thenote of invention in "ModernMagic," and the note of worlddemocracy in the striking poem,"Broadcast For Our Times." In-cluded in "Counterpoint" and strik-ing a note cf loving retrospect is"Asleep at Farmington," writtenin memory of the late William Gil-lette, the famous actor and a life-long friend whose devoted Japan-ese servant and five cats are fea-tured in another poem, "Osaki andthe Oats," with its sure appeal toall lovers of animals.

One cannot leave this depart-ment without mentirning "OmitFlowers," so revealing as tothoughtless and neglectful contem-poraries.

In the last analysis, RichardBurton strikes a prophetic note inthe poem "So Many Poets Go AwayUnheard/' introductory to his ode,"Higher Than Hills," from whichwe quote the first verse:"So many poets go away unheard,Despite their making dreams, their

high endeavor,Till tardily there cornea some

afterwordTo make them known forever."

Although he has not gone un-heard and has won high distinc-tion as a poet for mere than fortyyears, this writer believes thatRichard Burton's "afterword" maywell be the echoing through timeof his new challenging ode, "HigherThan Hills," striking so surely theuniversal note of aspiration andattainment.

Dr. Burton is giving a criticalsurvey of current poetry with areading at today's meeting of thePoetry Society cf Florida at thehome of President Hamilton Holt(by invitation only).

He will read from his new book"Higher Than Hills" at The Book-ery (Corner East Park Ave. andNew England Ave.) on Mondayevening, January 31, at 8 P. M.The public is invited to attend.

FIVE ARTISTS ATRESEARCH STUDIO

Editor's Note: There have beenso many inquiries regarding thenature and purpose of the recently-created Research Studio in Mait-land, that the Editor is glad toprint the following article byAndre Smith who is the Directorof this interesting project.

The Research Studio has beencreated primarily to offer Ameri-can artists an interlude from theirmore habitual surroundings in or-der to allow them to woi'k for ashort time in association withother artists and to do so in whatmight be called a vaeatifn mood,that is, in a mood of relaxationfrom their usual strain of "high-pressure" production.

Tho artists'who come to the Re-search Studio are selected by meon the strength of a marked indi-viduality in their work and a prom-ise of future development. Theycome as our guests and are underno expense other than their per-sonal expenditures. In extendingour invitations, the artists are giv-en the choice of the duration oftheir visit, whether they will re-main for the full four month peri-od from January to May, or mere-ly lor a portion of that time.There is no definite term of en-

. rcllment.• For this first season we have

with us at present fair paintersand one sculptor. All have credit-able records behind them and holdthe promise of outstanding accom-plishment.

The work of these men, theirpoint of view and the direction oftheir advancement reflects clearlythe art tendencies of today. Wal-ter Addison who. is a sculptor whoalso paints, comes to Maitlandfrom New York City. His alertinterest and understanding of an-imals has resulted in work whichbecause of its stylized and "ab-breviated" recording has an irre-sistahle charm. Ralston Crawford,whose home is in Exton, Pa., is in-terested in compositions that aresemi-abstraetional and are the re-sult of his integrated observationsof the farmlands and buildings ofhis own countryside.

In interesting contrast, both incolor and statement, is the work ofA. L. Chanin. Done for the mostpart in a srmber key, he is chieflyconcerned with recording his reac-tions to a "burdened humanity" inwhose lusterless living he findsmaterial for his dramatic com-ments.

Carson Davenport is a Virginianfrom Danville. He is especiallyexpressive through his watercolorswhich are vigorously presented inrythmical patterns and are alwaysfresh and stimulating in their col-or selection.

And from Waterbury, Conn,comes George Marinko, a modern-ist who expresses himself most ef-fectively by way of his surrealist"manifestations" and the strangeand the highly imaginative revela-tions that he evokes by means of

his exacting draftsmanship andhis technical thoroughness.

Children's MatineeAn outstanding feature of the

Series this year is the children'smatinee which has been plannedfor Friday afternoon. Miss Dor-othy Lockhart has announced that"grown-ups" will be barred fromthe special matinee unless accom-panied by at least one child, andshould a childless adult wish tobecome a part of this afternoon ofmerriment, Miss Lockhart will beglad to furnish the necessary childcompanion to complete the "en-trance requirement." This will bethe first time a children's matineehas been held in the Annie RussellTheatre. •

WESTERN WORLD LACKSREAL DEMOCRACIES

President Roosevelt's peace con-ference at Buenos Aires in 1936can never be considered a greatstep forward toward the peace ofthe world, as so many of us hoped,declared John Martin at his lec-ture on Thursday. Instead, it hasserved to tie us, up, diplomatically,with the dictatorships of the West-ern Hemisphere'—Brazil and SanDomingo being outstanding ex-amples.

The whole idea of the confer-ence, said Mr. Martin, was to con-sider the prospects of holding to-gether in peace the nations of thewestern world as champions ofdemocracy. We pledged ourselvesto the upholding of the MonroeDoctrine, and the whole thingended with much congratulationsand fanfare, and the feeling thatat least our part of the world wassafe from the conflagration immi-nent in Europe. But the treatywhich was the outcome of themeeting was ratified only by theUnited States, and was pigeon-holed by the other nations.

Soon after, by a coup d'etat, aman named Vargas set himself upas dictator of Brazil. Backed upby the army, he has declared thathis term of office as "president"has no end. He has denied chargesthat he is forming a fascist state.The sad part of it all is, that thepeople of Brazil are perfectly sat-isfied with conditions. They found

"It is a prostitution of the nobleword 'democracy' to say that Brazilis a democracy!", lecturer. Martincried to his hushed audience. Southof the Rio Grande there are notmore than three constitutionaldemocracies.

Another large monkey-wrench inour machine of democracy is therepublic of San Domingo, which isnow being ruled by a monster inhuman form, Trujillo. With acriminal record behind him, heworked up to the head of the Na-tional Guard when the marines left,in' 1924. In the last election hereceived mere votes than therewere registered voters. Anyonecriticising anything about the gov-ernment is assassinated.

In sixteen of these countries theword democracy is a sham and amockery. Most of these republicsare already on the side of ourenemy, Fascism. "Should we con-tinue to uphold the Monroe Doc-trine, which places us in the ca-pacity of protectors to potentialenemies?" queried the lecturer.

CLEOPATRA REALLYWAS A HOME GIRL

Cleopatra was the lady of . thehour at Dr. Evelyn Newman's • lec-ture Monday afternoon. Thosewho- had thought that the powei;of the famous Egyptian queen layin her great beauty, were jarredby the statement that Cleopatra's;charm was almost entirely in herpersonality and voice. And al-though'she has been called the"Siren of the Ages," she was reallya home girl at heart and made afine mother!

Dr. Newman's authority forthese remarks is Arthur Weigall,

--whose book "Cleopatra," althoughnot new, is much preferred by our

;..widely-read lecturer; to the biogra^-phy of the same person by BmilLudwig. Ludwig goes into thesame old scandal-monger line ofattack, giving much space to whatwas, after all, Cleopatra's ownbusiness. Weigall, on the otherhand, gives quite a stimulating pie-'tuire of the famous woman, show-ing her abilities in the :line ofstatecraft, and her love, for her.children. She was a great per-sonality in history, and Dr. New-man's packed house felt muchmore appreciative of her in thislight, than in her old role as merelya great lover.
