Dello Joio: Fantasy and Variations (Lorin Hollander, pianist; Boston Symphony Orchestra; RCA Victor) is here given an appropriately spirited performance by the young pianist who played its world première last year. It is music for a virtuoso pianist and a game orchestra. So is the cheerful Ravel Concerto in G on the other side...
...House Rose Garden, managed to chuckle at 92 cartoons featuring John F. Kennedy, jokingly told the cartoonists that he is really "much thinner" and much less hairy-headed than they had depicted him. 10:30 a.m. Delivered, at Arlington Cemetery, a speech extolling Ignace Jan Paderewski, the great Polish pianist and patriot who died in the U.S. in 1941.

Practically any one of them, asked to name the three greatest living surgeons, has difficulty in thinking of two others. Individualists down to their physical characteristics, great surgeons show that even their skilled hands need be of no particular design. Like a pianist's, they may be long and slender or broad and powerful. Dr. Moore's are of medium proportions, kept limber by playing piano duets with his children on paired Steinway grands...
