EUROPE'S CULTURE

NOW CENTRES IN LONDON

By Janet Leeper

AS THE WAR

EFFORT in England gathers ever increasing momen-

tum, the cultural life of the nation goes on.

To the questions whether new books are being written and discussed, pictures painted, debates held, new plays put on in the West End of Lon- don, there can be but one answer. For what would it avail us if, having won the war, everything for which democratic people are fighting had been completely neglected in the years of struggle-all the world of mind and beauty, of creative thought and free ex- pression.

So it is that a new con certo by a young English composer received its first performance in London in April, 1941. Bach's Passion Music and the great classical symphonies. fill the Queen's Hall time after time.

Notable work is being done by painters. It is at the Royal Academy which opened, as usual, in May; and in the many individual ex-

to the

dy, the valley of the Rhine and Switzerland heathen Bavarians.

Now Britain is shielding that self-same flame. The continent is again in the grip of paganism and longing eyes are turned to the country of free men where the mind is not enchained. Never have refugees of so many nationali- ties fleeing from oppression found asylum here. Not only from Germany and Austria do they come, but from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Hol- land, Belgium and France.

The stage has been further enriched by continental .ta- lent. Chamber music flourishes not only daily at the National Gallery but at the "Polish Henrth." The Czech Trio shows us how Dvorak should be played and no squa- dron of Czech airmen is with- out its virtuoso violinist.

POLISH POETS ARE LEARNING ENGLISH Everywhere these gifted foreigners, fighting our com- mon enemy, mingle with our native artists and join in our intellectual life. Professor Worm-Muller, Professor of History and Adviser to the Nobel Institute, leaves Oslo University where only "re- written" history books are in fashion in order to teach us the true meaning of the Nazi occupation, while Dr Egön“ Wellecz, the leading European authority on- Byzantine music. and a refugee from Vienna contributes an important ar- ticle on the subject to the new edition of that monumental work, Groves Dictionary of music.

phic and colour reproduction for which she has long been famous, applied now for the first time to English sub- jects, Langer, the distin guished Czech playwright, is here. The Poles have brought their poets and their poets are learning English. We remember with gratitude that Conrad was a Pole and wonder if there is another' Conrad among those sparse battalions who have fought so gallantly on many fronts?

Their countryman Topolski is here to record their exploits in paint and to trace with never-failing skill and humour the English war-time scene, grave and gay. An Anglo- Polish Ballet season has shown that the Polish na- tional ballet is not dead, a Free Dutch matinee that Dutchmen are not only bi-lin- gual, but have brought their talents with them,

Britain, already rich in her own native gifts, has become the repository of a whole con- tinental culture, the home of the unfettered national spirit of many nations now groan- ing under the Nazi yoke. Ever seeking new forms of ex- pression, England herself is reflected in her literature, the most vigorous, the most varied in the world.

Free France finds her spiri- tual home in the liberal at- mosphere of the capital. La France Libre, the monthly journal of the Free French Labarthe, edited by Andre maintains that high intellec- tual standard we expect from. Frenchmen, and writers such ns Eve Curic, Denis Saurat and Camille Huysmans contribute to it. Free French, Czech, Polish, German and . Dutch newspapers

The arts flourish in Britain in spite of difficult time. They will return to the continent when the oppressed peoples have been liberated and the Second Dark Age is but 'an evil memory.

collection of commissioned war paintings on view at the National Gallery.

Sir James Jeans, in a lecture at the Royal In- stitution puts forward the latest discoveries on the physical nature of the planets. Works of re- search come

from the University presses, and booksellers' tables are piled with interesting new publications history, fic- tion, belles-lettres, and serious studies of every kind, some of them bear- ing unfamiliar foreign names. Sales of books are increasing.

LIGHTING. THE NEW DARK AGE For London has in a true senso become the centre of European culture. The-heart of Europe beats not at the centre but near the perimeter. So was it long ago in the Dark Ages, when the Irish monks kept alight the little flame which was to light civilisation on its way be a beacon to a pagan continent. In the sixth and seventh centuries It was Irish missionaries who carried Christianity through pagan -England-to-France, Burgun--

You would probably try to divorce him as quickly as passible.

But this is precisely what women have to put up with in some parts of Libya, and not even Graziani has been able to change the age-old custom of the "shooting of the bride".

;

* These swarthy brides of Libya, in fact, have to be more than courageous to decide on marriage, for if they are not very popular with all the men- folk, they may lose their lives on their wedding day.

After the ceremony, they are bundled on to a camel's back-all wrapped up in a four-square 'parcel so that no outlines can be distinguished —and then the menfolk fetch their rifles to do their "bride shooting."

Needless to any, most of them will fire without aiming. But if she happens to have one real enemy among them she is out of luck.

worthy of the matrimonial stage and allowed to work for her husband for the rest of her humble life.

Humbleness, in fact, is the keynote of married life under the shadow of Islam. In some . towns one can see only negro women or the unveiled women of the Tauregs. The others stay in the house unseen and unheard by anybody but their husbands.

The master of the house wears the two pound key to her room proudly round his neck. To have more than one key hanging from one's neck is quite a social distinc- tion.

Only once a year these wo- men are allowed out of their houses to go to the Mosque. And even if they leave their house for good, they don't go to a better world.

The beauties of the other world are for men only. The Koran prontisees that men will be rewarded over there with cool rivers and with lovely virgins, however, who have not been, touched by "either Man's or Spirit's hands."

Mere wives, of course, can- not compete with this, and thus even the Garden of Eden is labelled "FOR MEN EX- CLUSIVELY" In that part of the world!
