Eugene Ormandy was born In
Budaest, Iungsrs and was
named for Jepo Hubay, Hunger
iai violinist. He is today con
ductor of the world famous
P," elphia Orchestra.
F Sharp Instead of F
Wh6rt he was two years old
Ormandy could identify many
symphonies. At four he inter
rupted a violin recital to an
nounce loudly: "You played an
F-sharp instead of an F." ~nd at
five he was admitted to the
Royal Academy of Music in
Budapest. At 14 he was awarded
a masters degree from the aca
demy.
Ormandy set out for the
United States at 21, lured by
the promises of a manager who
turned out to be untrustworthy.
When he arrived he had no job
and no money.
Climbing Steps to Success
The "difficult years" as he
called them now followed. He
became an abecure violinist in a
movie theatre, the Capitol, in
New York City. Before long he
b-ame Concertmaster of this
orchestra and later fourth as
sistant conductor.
Ormandy feels that the per
formance which "changed the
course of his life" was when he
was asked to conduct three
m o v e m e n t s of Tchaikovsky
Fourth Symphony with only 15
minutes notice. He feels that
here, in conducting, is where he
discovered a new instrument
"richer and more responsive than
the violin."
He remained at the Capitol
Theatre until 1929. During this
time he conducted a large part
of the symphonic repertoire four
or five times a day thus gaining
much experience.

Bold style and unusual experi
ments with texture in various
media characterize the paintings
of James Wat6an, currently on
display in the Russell House
Assembly Room at the Univer
sity.
24 Exhibits
Watson, head of the Columbia
College art Department, is ex
hibiting 24 paintings in oils and
water colors, drawings and litho
graphic prints.
The exhibit, which will run
through February, is the second
in a series of four arranged by
Prof. Edmund Yaghian, head of
the University department of
fine arts.
"I try for an architeetaral or
linear quality in my paintings,"
Prof. Watson said. Most of his
abstractionist works are of
bridges, trestles, and houses.
Even his figures, in his words,
sometimes "look liki they are
made of cast iron."
In his effort to introduce tex
ture into his paintings, the artist
employs such techniques as glu
ing construction paper or apply
ing white lead to a canvas before
painting or sprinkling powdered
paint on a wet canvas. He has
achieved unusual effects by com
bining ink with oil paints or by
using enamel for all black areas
in his paintings.

Gamecock
A striking painting called
"Gamecock," in deep red, black
and blue, demonstrates the ar
tist's preoccupation with texture.
A three-dimensional effect was
produced by piling white lead
on the canvas and modeling it
by hand. This was than glazed
and paints applied.
"Daguerreotype," the artist's
impression of an old-fashioned
wedding picture with the bride
standing stWffly behind the seated
bridegroom, features the use of
colored construction paper, cut
in various shapes and glued to
the canvas. This was then
painted and varnished.
