There is no need to speed spring evenings and summer nights in rooms as dark, dismal and depressing as the black hole ef Calcutta, in the opinion cf Dorothy True Belt well known Honolulu interior decorator, who preparing an average American living room arrangement for the blackout ventilation display at the Honolulu Academy ef Art opening Tuesdar, April 21. From her experience in outfitting other people's homes and office since December 7s first dimmed lights, Mrs. Bell has devised many simple and inexpensive methods of applying the two principles, no slit or pinprick of light must go out fresh air must come in.

For the first objective Mrs. Bell's knowledge of. and skill in handling, textiles has aided her in choice of material that light does not penetrate, that lends itself to fitting into the cornice box or valance of wood or stiffened cloths she advises at the top of windows and doors, that can be made to cling close to the sides of room openings. For the second she uses an IS inch overlapping, crisscross arrangement of curtains or drapes which she finds acts as "a funnel ef air." JEAN FRANCIS WEBB vi- 'i By PAUL. FrNDEISEN Sadie Iditor.

Star-Bulletin Last week ta this column it was mentioned what a signal the Press Wireless transmitter in Los Angeles was putting into Hawaii during its ten programs the afternoons in the frequencies ef 15.530 kc. and 8.330 kc. No sooner dd trie story appear in print when the FW station halted its test. Because the was so splendid and being somewhat curious to find out when tests, and. possibly, a regular program schedule would be instituted I had our Associated Press bureau here send an inquiry to the AP bureau in Los Angeles to make inquiries about the PW station and its future plans.

The answer came back as follows: "Press Wireless says It has no plans at present for further test programs and also has made no plans, up to now, for any regular program schedule."

April 26, at McKanley auditorium.

Vicissitudes ef the orchestra have been many and interesting over a long period of tme. The organization weathered the trying days of the last war, and, if enthusiasm and determination mean anything at all. sen-ice men and civilians who desire it will not lack for inspirational symphonic music during the present march toward victory. With Fritz Hart again on the podium wielding his imperious but coaxing baton, and the personnel of the orchestra enhanced by the addition of many talented service men and others who have come to the islands in pursuance of the war, a splendid season is anticipated. There will be nothing maudlin or over-sentimental in the programs selected or in their Interpretations.

Vigorous, red blooded, inspiring music will be played music that is calculated to meet the spirit of the times and also to offer balm for ruffled nerves and flagging energies. It is good for ihe civilian population as well as those of the service, to get together mere often these days here is the opportunity. The SAT. P.

Modern Dance To Be Exemplified Modern dancing will be exemplified in many of its phases at a recital to be given at Academy of Arts tomorrow afternoon at 3:30, by Josephine Taylor and her Dance Group.

This is a request program, and will embody many of the dances given at a similar recital several weeks ago under these auspices. Miss Taylor is a highly qualified authority on the modern dance and has contributed much to the artistic life of the city by imparting such knowledge to large numbers of students. She is also an excellent interpreter herself. With the group of students performing Sunday a program of beauty and grace may be anticipated by those who take an interest in this form of self expression. Participants In the dance are Lei Folk.

Lucy Ann Holtzworth, Jean-ette Lam, Elizabeth Myhre, Vivian Watkins. Music for the dances has been composed by Lloyd Stone and Car-ola Skog. who will furnish the musical accompaniment.

A survey made about a year ago Into the art life of the Filipino people by Dwight W. Hiestand. an American connected with the bureau of education in Manila, reveals many things which are interesting and refutes the ideas mentioned in the previous paragraph. For instance, the stature and physical makeup of the Filipino has all the indication? of an artistic nature. He is slender in build, with small hands and feet, graceful, often with oxqui3itely delicate features, very sensitive to all forms of beauty, naive, affectionate, not very aggressive, and with a bent for the theoretical rather than the practical the women enjoy a greater respect than any other women in the east.

These characteristics separate the Filipinos from other Asiatics. Their music is not what we call oriental has less harshness than that of Chinese or Japanese. This is largely due to the fact that Spanish music was introduced three centuries ago. Operatic music is very popular, Everybody sings, but the men's voices are best Both men and women are very talented in the use of musical instruments. BMW In native music, love songs, serenades and lullabies predominate.

Such music has an unmistakable virility and nationalism which identifies it. and the survey indicates that there is a rich virgin field of native Filipino music which will bear investigation by the composer and musicologist. Excellent banc nd orchestras are common. Consider the famous Constabulary band from Manila, which has rlayed here on different occasions. A large percentage rt the members of bandsmen in Hawaii came from the Filipino islands.

What do we mean by good popular music, someone asks. Well, for Instance, Strauss waltzes, Sousa marches and Gilbert and Sullivan operettas. No orchestra leader who desires to reach the general public can do wrong Dy including such in a program. "Who ever thought," writes a cynic, "that music would sink so low as to tonalize skyscrapers?" Or rise so high as to depict mermaids playing at the bottom of the Rhine. When one speaks of a "swan ong" something beautiful is generally meant.

As a matter of fact, however, the swan's song is an ear piercing screech exceeded only discordancy by the vocalism of the peacock.
