S. Leopold Kohls Believes Organization of Civic Orchestra Is Possible

70-PIECE-CBGUP CONCERT MHIES SPliilTf rat Program of Appreclation Tendered Ernestinoff Rekindles Spark of Enthusiasm. CONDUCTOR GIVES REASONS Says Influential Backing Assured, but Mus : cians Must Hvae Popular Support. Indianapolis wlll have some sort of a civic orchestra if thè suggestion of influential citizens are carried out. The success of thè appreeiation concert tendered to Alexander Ernestinoff at thè Circle Theater la3t Sunday has re-ereated thè desire that Indianapolis have ita own orchestra. Home are of thè opinion that an Indianapolis Civic Orchestra could be formed more easlly at this timo than a symphony orchestra. S. Leopold Kohls, leader of thè Circle orchestra who cdnducted thè Ernestinoff concert last Sunday when over seventy muslcians of thè city donated their Services, believes a Civic Orchestra can be successfully organlzed. “To start with. I do not believe Indianapolis can stand a symphony orchestra for two reasons,” Mr. Kohles States. “First of all, I do not believe that all classes in Indianapolis would care to help support an organization whieh by its nume sugge3ts purely symphonic work. My other reason ls tbat I do not believe that we can Induce sufficient members of thè Indianapolis Protective Association of Musicians to organize. as most of them are tied up with other work, and some of them, I dare say, with very strenuous work, which means that we have to widen our resources by inviting such artists as may be availabie among thè Indianapolis society as well as progressed pupils cf prominent teachers. "We arrive now at thè point where artists at large are making up an organization w liich must be thè civic pride of thè entire population of Indianapolis. and for that reason my suggestion in thè matter is just such an organization as a civic orchestra, “If permitted to work along these lines constructively, I am very confident that wonderful things can be accomplished. The music loving peo pie of Indianapolis can and will be proud of having in existrnce a musical organization that will cater o young and old. rich and poor, with only one thought behlnd it, namely, to give good and wholesome ente~tainment to those who are accustomed to hearing good music, and a liberal education to those who, due to their youth or lack of funds, have not been able to avall themselves of an opportunity such as concerts by this organization would offer. “I am sure we can induce influential peopie to give this movement a certain amount of backing. However, an organization of this kind must be run on a cooperative pian, where everybody connected with it must have thè spirit neeessary for ultimate success.” Many peopie interested in a civic or a symphony orchestra for Indianapolis have been in conference since thè first of thè week. It is hoped a definite orchestra program may be created within thè next few weeks. The Times welcomes expressions along these lines.

SOUSA'SIAIDTO PfiESENT GOfJGERT Famous Musical Organization Will Give Program at Cadle Tabernacle. John Philip Sousa and his band will give a concert Wednesday night at thè Cadle Tabernacle.

Eugene O'NeiU’s "The Halry Ape,” with Louis Wolheim and thè unaltered New York cast, will open a three-day engagement at thè Murat on Thursday This is thè second O’Neill play to be seen at thè Murat this month. It is one of thè vi tal -and important things before thè American public today. At English’s tomorrow night, j "Aster Six Days,” thè ilrst attempt to film thè Old Testament will open a flfteen-day engagement. Two shows i wlll be given daiiy aster thè open- | ing. I The Rialto will offer musical comedy and movles next week. The Broadway will present another Mutual burlesque attraction. YVoUieim in Big Play “THE ILA IR Y APE,” which Comes to thè Murat next Thursday, ls a challenge not only to govemment, society and civilizatlon, but evento | human kind. The genlus of O’Neill has put thè woith of mankind on I trial in terms that show he has llst©ned with an aiert and sensitive ear | to thè language men and women use i when they feel lightly or deeply, or when they feei not at all. but stili igo on talking. By keeplng a humble j door open to lise, thè playwright’s characters speak through him, not he through them. The peopie of hls i plays are born out of hls experlence or hls own hnaginatlon. They are rtesh and blood as we know it and I feel it. No literary offspring of thè great novelists and playwrights of history has been more vivldly and convincingly true to actual lise than thè amazlng hero of O’Neill's "Halry Ape” (Louis Wolheim). To see lt is to drench thè mlnd with freshened thought and meaning that will cling to memory. ■!- -I- -!• Spectacular Film Due "AFTER SIX DAYS,” a movie Corning to English's Sunday night, ls in ten reels and will be aecompanied by a twenty-picce orchestra and a special musical score.

The picture version of thè Bible includes many of thè best remembered and most popular incidente. Whiie historieal accuracy has been observed in every instance, thè producers have treated thè entire film as a spectacular and thrilling entertainment for thè public. The cast of principals includes more than 600 players, together with thousands of supernumeraries used in hundreds of scenes, which include thè flood, thè building of thè tower of Bal.iel, thè | plagues of Moses, thè destruction of thè clties of Sodom and Gemorrah and thè like. -!- -I- -I At tlie Rialto “ALL ABOARD FOR DlXlE”—Musical comedy at Rialto next week.

DIRT IS ALWA YS DIRT IN LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE Bv WALTER D. HICKifAN 1 IMaywrlghts can not make dirt and smut "hlghbrow.” Fino language and ultrasmart attempt* to transform smut lnto a thlng of menta! ohastity always fall. V On thè other hand, there have been a few attempts brazenly to dish up “dirt” in tho hope thè publlo wlll pour its money lnto thè box office. Broducers of “The Rubicon,” as far os Indianapolis is concerned. failod in their effort* to get patronage here. The "cold shoulder” was given thia dirty and uninteresting play. It has goni* elsewhere for its money.

“The Rubicon” is a salaclous attempt to present an indecent situation on thè stage. Ite theme is hAndled in a cheap and brazen manner. Not so with Eugene p'Nelll, who wrote “Anna Chrlstie" and "The Halry Ape." In “Anna Chrlstie" we have a sobeen made to offer a program of wlde varlety. The program also contalned thè needed touch of novelty. The artist was gradone in her encores and at thè dose of thè program aster belng recalled several times added two number* to her recital. This Matinee Musicale afternoon ngain proves thè reai worth of thè orgnniz.atlon. This organization brings to thè city exceptional artista. Herbert Ooode waa thè accompanist for thè singer.

In thè cast is Louis Wol--1 eim. formerly a college professor, who was unknown on thè stage until he undertook thè role of Tank Smith in this O’Neill play. Today he is discussed with Lionel Barrymore and ali tha others. My advice is do not be afraid of O’Neill. He doesn’t insult.
