It is to these early demands upon her versatility that she attributes the range and timber of her voice. Inevitably she attracted wider notice.

She won, among three hundred entrants, the chance to si ng with the 1ew York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchcs· tra. Although an avalanche of applause hailed her performance, she grew despondent over racial discrimination and went to try her luck in Europe. Successes on the Continent, no less than Toscanini's plaudits, helped to break down the barriers of prejudice. After her recital at Town Hall in December, 193 5, her fame was assured.

Ca t I Bamhcq;t:r 7 MISCHA ELMAN'S THIRTY YEARS than thirty years Wherever violin playing is valued, people have flocked to hear him. Yet in all the years he has been performing, he was late to but one concert. That was hi s first, when he was a student at the Odessa Imperial Academy and only ten years old. The prize pupil, on that occasion, was to play for a select audience. The patrons arrived, the orchestra tuned up, but the prize pupil still did not appear. Panic-stricken, the director made a systematic • search of the building only to discover the young artist locked in a room on the top floor. Obliv ious to time or place, he was busily practicing an etude. The director, not stopping for an explanation, hustled the boy onto the stage, ;:~nd the latter earned himself thunderous applause for his performance of the Wieniawski Con certo. Later, it was found that jealous class mates, after taunting Elman, had chased him into the room and then locked him in.

The Institute continues to present outstanding authorities in current problems who will analyze the week's events. It is to these experts in the field of international affairs that we turn to sift through conflicting and contradictory rumors, and pierce the mysteries of official censorship. As acting press attache of the British Embassy in Brussels, and later as correspondent of 'Jime, [,fe, 'Jortu11 e, and 'Newsweek, Mme. Betty Bar zin lived amid the old disorders of Europe for a dozen years. She watched the disastrous game of power politics, played between world wars, and was among the first of the journalists to apprehend the dangers of appeasement and Leo pold's neutrality.

Barzin interprets events, on February 10, in the Now's the time, light of her experience and her private sources of information. The three speakers who follow Mme.
