Band Booked One of the popular soloists with Harold Bachman’s “Million Dollar Band,” coming Sunday to The Lincoln Square, formerly the Rialto, is William Paulson. His command of the xylophone and kindred instruments marks him an artist of the first type. The music that he brings forth from the strips of wood of which xylophones are composed, baffles description. Nothing seems impossible to him from the softest organ tones to the snappiest jazz melodies. Paulson has created quite a name for himself in this aggregation of artists. In addition to the xylophone, Paulson plays drums, tympani, bells and a hunderd special contrivances in the novelty numbers, which Bachman offers during his concerts. Paulson is considered one of the most brilliant performers on these Instruments that we have in the United States.

Miss Huebner also announced that Dr. John Newcomb will direct "The Wren.” Dr" Newcomb has been active for many years in the society, the Dramatic Club and the Players’ Club and has directed many plays, particularly for the Dramatic and Players’ Clubs. "The Wren” was produced in New York several seasons ago with Helen Hayes, for whom it was especially written, in the starring role. “We hope to make the presentation of ‘The Wren’ at the Murat our greatest achievement,” Robert Winslow, treasurer of the society, said today. “Special settings are now being designed and every effort will be made to make the production a notable one in the history of amateur theatricals, not only in Indianapolis, but for the State and country.” Baggot Says a Few Words King Baggot says he and no other is responsible for Mary Philbln's huge success on the screen. It was her work in “Human Hearts” which Baggot said was the turning point of her career. He predicts wonderful things for her in “The Inheritors,” I. A. R. AVylie’s novel of English life which is going into production at Universal City shortly.
