Cello Recital Is Pleasing
~ |Friedlander Shows Field Is
Not Limited.
By JAMES THRASHER
The cello is famous, among other things for the heauty of its tone and paucity of its solo: literature. But Ernest. Friedlander, principal cellist of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, disproved this latter dubious claim to fame in a program at the Odeon last night which com-
1bined the meritorious with the un-
familiar. Mr. Friedlander was presented under auspices of the Jordan Conservatory, where he serves as head of the cello department in addition to his orchestra duties. The recital’s most imposing single item was the Sonata in D, Opus 102- No. 2, by Beethoven. The collaborating artist here, as elsewhere throughout the evening, was the so= loist’s wife, Marie Friedlander.
Work Is Subjective
. The sonata in question is decidedly more than a pleasant and gratefully revealing composition for technical display, as some of the Beethoven violin sonatas are. Here we find Beethoven, walled in by silence, probing deeply inward for a tonal expression of his struggles and his philosophy. The work, like the piano sonatas of the same period, is intensely subjective and considerably recondite. It demands of its interpreters a technical equipment that can disregard snares of notes for deeper matters at hand. And it likewise demands clear comprehension and close study to project tc an audience the unified unfolding of the composer’s thought. In short, the difficulties are many and varied. Chose Bach Music
The Friedlanders, it is pleasant to report, set forth the work in admirable style. One should not expect that their interpretation would be ideal. But it emphatically was considerably above the mere. adequate and serviceable. The movement had many moments of deep, searching beauty, and the last movement's intricate contrapuntal texture was knit together with a splendid unanimity of purpose, technical and emotional. The players are to be thanked for opening a door, apparently almost forgotten, on another example of Beethoven's mastery. To begin the program, Mr. Friedlander chose three examples of Bach's music, two chorale preludes and a sonatina from one of the cantatas. The choral preludes, though much transcribed, are seldom heard through the medium of the cello.
Attends to Phrasing
The most gratifying and noteworthy quality of Mr. Friaedlander’s playing is his musicianly attention to the matter of phrasing. Not many musicians ,it would seein, rea« lize that inflection, arficulalion and timing are as imporiant in their art as they are in the actor's. But Mr. Friedlander is one wo does, certainly. In consequence his performance carries conviction and an extra portion of pleasure. There were times last night when
‘IMr. Friedlander’s tone took on a
hard and tough quality, particularly in loud, rapid passages... For the most part, however, he drew forth
‘Imusic of warmth and. sonority.
Mrs. Friedlander was at all times an ideal musical assistant. Her accompaniments were excellently adjusted and her dexterity up to every demand. Furthermore her tone was such as an accompanist’s should be, one which matched that of the
cello rather than emphasizing the piano’s percussive qualities.

Nunnally Johnson did the screen play for this current and highly regarded feature. And Mr. Steinbeck read and approved the cinema version before the cameras started grinding. The only drastic Eng from the book is in the ending, which could not be filmed for reasons obvious to anyone who has read the book. Instead, Mr. Johnson wrote an ending which Mr. Steinbeck suggested and which, in fact, he at one time had contemplated as a finish for his book. The producers’ publicity states that none of. the actors’ scripts carried the last 15 pages, and that the performers did not know how their
1saga of the migratory “Okies” was
going to end until the day the final scenes were shot. A technical adviser on the picture was Tom Collins, the man to whom Mr. Steinbeck dedicated his novel. Mr, Collins for the past seven: years has headed the Government camps for migratory workers maintained by the Farm Security Administration. Mr. Collins coached the picture’s cast in “Okie” dialect, checked the sets each ‘day and served as wardrobe consultant. The film’s director was John Ford, whose “The Informer” is gen-
