Polly’s Selections Here
Add To Holiday Cheer
by Polly Harrop
’Most everywhere we go these
days we hear ^ ‘ A Slow Boat to
China” or Tommy Dorsey’s Un
til” pouring forth. But ever so
often a desire for '^cool-ture”
sneaks in, and we turn the record
salesgirl’
orange, purple
white trying to find something
satisfy our yen for '^good” music.
Maybe a few suggestions about the
new albums will help.
•
If you heard Ezio Pinza last year,
you will want to hear him again.
His new album Ezio Pinza in Popu
lar Italian Songs, is made to order.
Mr. Pinza sings ” Beautiful Nova
ra”, ”The Little Husband”, ‘^Love
Is My Food”, and many other folk
songs with his characteristic gaiety
and sincerity of approach.
For something unusual, there is
Basil Eathbone’s new album, Sinbad
the Sailor. Tlie music is from Rim-
sky-Korsakov’s ‘ ‘ Scheherazade ’
and Mr. Eathbone, supported by an
excellent cast, tells the familiar,
dramatic tale of Sinbad and his
thrilling adventures. For all who
were charmed by Peter and the
Wolf, this album will prove to be a
”find”.

For something with a more modern
touch, there is Morton Gould’s new
album, Soft Lights and Sweet Music.
This collection includes ”You and
the Night and the Music”, Or
chids in the Moonlight”, ”I’m in
the Mood for Love”, ‘^Goodnight
Sweetheart”, and several others.
With those Morton Gould arrange
ments, what more could one ask?!
Members of the Choral Ensemble
will appreciate the Rachmaninoff
album of Four Songs sung by Janies
Melton, the first of which, ”In the
Silence of the Night”, was perfor
med last year.

Robert Nathan’s Long After Sum
mer is one of those books which can
be read twice. The first time for
the story and then for the philoso
phical touches and poetic descrip
tions. By this I don’t mean to
imply that it is a great book which
will be read a hundred years from
now, but the first time I found the
story intriguing enough to skip the
passages of description. When I
leafed back through the book a sec
ond time reading the omitted parts
I discovered that I was really read
ing the better part of it.
The story starts out to be one of
a Bostonian bachelor who needs a
housekeeper and takes in an orphan
but turns out to be one of puppy
love between the orphan, Jenny, and
a local lobsterman’s son. Jot. Jenny
owns one possession, a bright colored
ribbon until the bachelor gives her
a puppy which she gives to Jot—
”It’s like if you’ve got something
together,” she said, ”you’ve got
more than if you’ve only got
alone. ’ ’
it
Wlien Jot is caught in a storm at
sea and killed, Jenny’s mind starts
to run backwards, reliving her sum
mer. If you Vant to discover the
after effects on her mind and her
later influence on the bachelor, read
Mr. Nathan’s book.
Other loose records that can pro
vide interesting listening are: Efrem
Kurtz conducting the New York
Philharmonic Symphony in a March
by Prokofieff and a Waltz by Sho-
by the
entitled
stakovitch; and a record,
Arthur Fiedler Sinfonietta
Christmas Symphony.
All of these may be found in the
record department of Bocock-Stroud
Sport Store. I know—I spent three
hours there last week.
