“Skylark,” except on matinee days, takes up only about four hours of Gertrude Lawrence's day. Much of her remaining time ana energy are! monopolized by her efforts for the British War Relief Fund. And consequently there was little talk devoted to the theater in a luncheon interview. it is easier to understand the plucky spirit and resistance of the English people in the Battle of Britain after talking with Miss Lawrence.

By JAMES THRASHER -

T SEEMS TO ME that popular records ought to have a ‘“connoisseur’s corner” such as Victor sets aside for its particularly choice items in the serious music field. After all (though the tunes may be substantially the same) there's quite a gap between Gene Autry or Guy Lombardo and, say, the music of Meredith Willson or Mark Warnow. So let's rope off a connoisseur’s corner of our own, and fill it with

some extra special releases of current vintage. We might start off with Columbia'’s coupling of “The Children Met the Train” and “Seldom the Sun,” written by Alec Wilder and played by the Alec Wilder Octet (flute, clarinet, oboe, bass clarinet, bassoon, harpischord, drums and bass). This novel and diverting brace of tunes isn’t the usual singable brand of popular product. good, ‘serious chambef music— even if it is “in the grooye.” The melodic line is distinctly of contemporary French inspiration, and Mr. Wilder seems to have more in common with Mompou, Poulenc and others of the 20th Century Gallic group than he does with Tin Pan Alley. Needless to say, this recording is strictly for the ultra-fastidious.

too, that the conflict is cementing} The tonal color is rich and un-

usual, the workmanship distinctly musicianly. J Victor also has an engaging pair by Alan Shulman, played by the New Friends of Rhythm. of which Mr. Shulman is a member. The A side has a swing paraphrase of “Carnival of Venice,” called “Heavy Traffic on Canal Street.” It's a gay romp with an old favorite. 3 On the reverse is “Mood in Question,” a heady libation of Debussyan -harmany over a subdued but steady drive in the rhythm section. The instrumentation includes string quartet, | clarinet, harp, guitar and bass. |

DUKE ELLINGTON has tried

something new with a couple of nostalgic tonal likenesses of two beloved Negro entertainers. “A Portrait of Bert Williams” is in the mood and style of many of the well-remembered songs of the Twenties which Williams made famous. “Bojangles,” which refers of course to Bill Robinson, has something of Bojangles’ sunny spirit as well as his gifted dancing feet. It’s a Victor record, and a good one, 8 8 a

NOT SO UNUSUAL, but still worthy of a place in the select corner, are Ray Noble's “Rhythm on the River” and “That’s for Me” (Columbia), and “The Sheik of Araby” and “My Blue Heaven” by Coleman Hawkins and his AllStar Octet (Bluebird). Mr. Noble does some original and stimulating tricks with two songs from the recent Bing Crosby picture. Both have a delightful, easy swing, and the modulation
