...realm. (Audiences often suspect Cossack Ovtchinikov of being a woman.) The Cossacks hum their own accompaniments and strum them. Conductor Jaroff's control of his men is intense, superb, exercised by a clutched hand and fierce jerks of his little head. Musical cranks at last week's debut performance complained that the substance of the songs was sacrificed to the manner of singing, that too many tricks made for monotony. But no such attitude was reflected in the box office returns. The Cos sacks gave performances in Greenwich (Conn.), Philadelphia, Montclair (N. J.), & Richmond, three more Manhattan ones...

Prodigious child musicians have a way of flourishing like the flowers of the field and fading just as fast. An exception last week proved to be Violinist Erika Morini who nine years ago at the age of 15, made a debut memorable for rare technique, vigorous emotion. For three years Morini toured the U. S. successfully, then retired to her home in Vienna. Last week after six years she returned?mop of black hair, vivid green dress?and despite her acrobatic tactics impressed a Manhattan audience with her increased poise, understanding...
