Mrs, Talbot Hopes to Be Able to Bring Noted Tragedienne to Murat —Frieda Hem pel in Concert Sunday— Maennerchor to Present Nikisch in Recital, Complete publie support will be required if Eleanor Duse, greatest of tragediennes, is brought to the Murat for one performance by Ona B. Talbot in April. Already Mrs. Talbot is receiving subscription pledges, but a capacity house at a stiff scale must be assured before Duse can be definitely booked. On Sunday afternoon at the Murat, Frieda Hempel will appear in a costume song recital.

•WOMAN IN WHITE’ AT CIRCLE Much comment has been caused in the past few days regarding the appearance at the Circle starting Sunday of “The Woman in White.” Question have been asked as to whether this was a motion picture or a presentation, or what. Ace Berry comes to us with the information that "The Woman in White" is an organist of rare ability and charm who. however, seeks to hide her identity under this more or less mysterious billing given above, and heightened by the fact that she is costumed in a gown, shoes and head-dress of glittering white. She has chosen for her first selection at the Circle, Elgar’s “Pomp and Circumstance,” an impressive offering.

Assisting Miss Hempel will be one of the best known pianists of the country, Coenraad V. Bos, and Louis Fritze, flutist.

ROUNDING ROUND THEATERS w i t li ■ WALTER D. HICKMAN ICKING the ten best movie* for 1923 is no easy task. Have given much thought to my selections for this department. My ten best movies for 1923 are as follows: “If Winter Comes.” because It was a great novel and a much better screen vehicle; “The Covered Wagon.” because it expressed real American history; “Robinhood.” because of Douglas Fairbanks; “Little Old New York," because of its settings and historical value; “Hunting Big Game in Africa.” because of the ability of H. A. Snow to get Into the heart of Africa; “Why Worry?" because of Harold Lloyd; “Three Wise Fools” because of the cast; “Potash and Perlmutter,” because of the story and the cast; “The Bright Shawl,” with Dorothy Gish and "The Flirt,” because It tells a wonderful family story. My favorite movie of the year is the Fox production of “If Winter Comes.” -I- -I- -ITest Dalton, local playwright and author, lists the following plays which he would like to see the municipal theater produce here this coming summer: “The Devil’s Disciple," by Shaw; “Rip Van Winkle,” by Bouci-
