At Last Symphony Concert Draws One of Largest Crowds of Year
By WALTER D. HICKMAN mT HAS happened at last. What In the world are you howling about now? Really I have a reason to yell with joy. Nearly every seat was taken last Bght at tne Murat for.- ■ er: by Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Mendelssohn Choir and Rafaelo Diaz, tenor of the Metropolitan Opera as soloist. t believe that f >na B. Talbot after several ;.A irs of failing to make expenses with her orchestral concerts has at last started a season which will turn out profitable. And that is just what it must be If we are going to have great orchestral concerts. The high spots of the concerts were as follows, according to my way of hearing music: The playing of Tschaikowskv's overture. “The Year 1812.” Cnder the wonderful baton of Fritz Rainer, this splendid and inspiring tonal picture was given a finish and perfection that was marvelous. Even before the final crash of this overture was over, the audience was yelling “Bravo” and cheering Reiner and his men. Isn't that wonderful when we get so worked up that we cheer great orchestral music?

Rae Tells You if You Have It Bandits Will Get It, So Spend It and Be Happy
By WALTER D. HICKMXN SAKE a little tip In song from Rae Samuels. She tells you in jazzy melody at Keith’s that there are so many bandits about in this world that if you have it they will get it, so spend your money and be happy. That is the way Rae Samuels is introducing herself in song tills season. She *-. .: then flashes from one song to ant , j other. She gets ;l whale of a laugh Ajpip ’ while singing of At the girl who went along on low speed for so many years until she got into high gear ?when she sat upon And this same RAE SAMUELS guy in song took li e r automobile riding and then brought her back. Some scandal: In another song. Rae sings and acts like a woman who was elected to Congress. She sings that this Congresswoman is going to paint the White House pink and take the Incon - tax off women. Also, she is going to abolish divorce. All she is going to do Is shoot the men. Give the women a chance, KfffriF to be her slogan. Rae Samuels is just as energetic and just as much of a great show man as she has ever been. The fact is. she ha Improved. Indianapolis still holds this little woman mighty close to her heart. Her success is complete. Yesterday after doing many encores. Miss Samuels made a little talk and said that she wished she could sing opera or a ballad Instead of these “silly little songs.” I was afraid she was going to say that she wanted to play Juliet, She added “But if T did sing the high class stuff they would probably pay me In buttons." Nearly forgot to tell you that she Is wearing a wonderful gown, one of those many colored new things. Mildred Land is at the piano. Another Samuels triumph. I.eo Beers has one of t hose per sonalltles which some people brand
The playing of two movements by j the orchestra of Schubert's “Unflni ished Symphony.” Here we heard. I bellev as beautiful an# careful playing as I have ever heard at an . orchestral concert. It comes under the head of being great. The singing of "Beautiful Savior” and “Hallelujah Chorus” from “The Messiah” by the Mendelssohn Choir under the direction of Elmer Steffen. ! Rafaelo Diaz was the soloist with the choir while singing "O Come All Ye Faithful.” Diaz, while singing "At the Well.” i ope of those little things In English which has a wealthy orchestral bad: ground. It was during the last three programmed numbers, which included "At the Well.” that Diaz really revealed the wealth of his \oice and his technique. I am not going to forget this 01 chestral concert. It is one of those rare treats which will linger many, I many months in my memory box. I Also the Mendelssohn Choir has | come into its own as far as the pub i lie is concerned. And above all. orchestral concert have come to stay in Indiana pole That Is enough of a Christina : present for me. i
as being up-stage. Beers is a human being like all of us. He has his way of putting over his act. He is different. He knows how to play a piano and how to “talk-sing” a nifty song. I like his work, because he has the nerve to be Mr. ! I.eo Beers. I do not like the brand of silly hokum dished out by Hawthorne and Cooke. Starke ;md Coultier with William Reinhart have a mighty smart singing and dancing turn. Youth, speed and class. Claudia Alba is a strong woman, who does the strongest stunts. There is some corking good comedy work on the part of Joseph B. Stanley in “Waiting.” Here is some grand fun. This man has a chance to be somebody in the variety world along comedy lines. Stewart and < 'live are best w hen dancing. Ralph. Louse and Nan Sterling, open the show with "Frolicsome Follies." At Keith's all week. , -|- -I- -j. IiYRII II \S \ WINNER IN FEIN \NI TENNYSON The very last word in things modem and then an easy and pleasant turn to beauty and color touched with delightful bits of fantasy is the offering of Fein and Tennyson at the Lyric this week. During the first part of the art we see a girl listening iti over her radio to a man singing. The girl. as she hears the man sing night jsAC after night, falls in love with him She writes hint syPIL "P* '?->.& a letter and It Is ■ ’|g: answered by a personal call of the singer. He P|K -in gs to her siings of the orb . ent and we are *4 __ quickly trailsported with a change of J H scenery into the oriental atmos phere of British V India. The man then sings the EVA NORTH words of Kip ling’s most plaintive and sorrowful ballad. ''Man,la !a> ' The girl, in tin- costume of the little Burmese heroine, answers back with a voice full ~f melody and sweetness. It is an exquisite little cot. l'lsano and Landau furnish the best comedy of the bill. The act is an Italian and a Swede in comedy dialogue Mmc.

good dancing. Davis and Belle do very well some difficult feats requiring strength and balance. At the Lyric all week. —(By the Observer.) -I- -I- -!- HERE AM) THERE ON THE NEW PALACE IHLL If memory is not all wrong, the last time that I saw Mae Dix she was not in vaudeville. For vaudeville purposes she has surrounded herself with the Chicago Harmonaders, a jazz playing orchestra, and somebody in blackface, who intro duces the various numbers and does some stepping for no reason whatsoever. Miss Dix makes the mistake of doing the same old line of stuff that the average entertainer does. Tn the Harmonaders she has a good playing organization. The thing that is needed in such an act is novelty, hut Miss Dix does not achieve that. She goes along the same old way. She has enough talent to have individual material. Mardo Kaehn, even when he was in Indianapolis and not on the stage, has several ideas in the way of put ting over a song and a variety act which he wanted to try. He has always had a good voice. So Kaehn. with the assistance of Peggy Hoffman. has gone in for vaudeville. She plays the piano and sings a wee bit and Kaehn sings and then pushes the piano off the stage. When I saw the act Kaehn showed signs that he was before a home town audience. He lias the goods and there is no reason fur feeling nervous Crystal Bennett and company open rhe show with a boxing and athletic offering Bob I.a Salle tells stories and puts over Ids songs with a hang. Daly. Mac and Italy close Ihe show with “Just for Fun.” The movie feature is Viola Dana in “Along Came Ruth.” At the Palace today and Wednesday. -!- •!• -!• 11l KLESQCK AGAIN ON VIEW \T CAPITOL "Burlesque as she should he ' seems to tie the idea Fox and Krause had in mind in reopening the Capitol, in fact they have gotten closer to the old methods of real burlesque than has been seen here for some time. The opening show "Hello Indianapolis" is a fast peppy thing t hat in no way seeks to rival the modern musical revue. It sticks to what It started out to be and is full of slapstick. Ivtre limbs and noise. Jack La Mont, comedian gets many laughs with ids stuff, and for that reason it seems as if he could hspense with several of his ”oracks" that in no way lieip the show and are off color. Chubby Drisdale carries the Bm inine dancing honors of the show. Along with Miss Drisdale are sev eml that deserve mention, namely, the Misses Fitzgerald. Burnette and Moss. Thought the “Hoses of Picardy” and the "Dancing Dan”
numbers the best song numbers of the show. At the Capitol all week. —(By Observer.) -!• -I- -IOther theaters today offer: “Classmates” at the Circle, "Wages of Virtue” at the Ohio, “Argentine Love" at the Apollo, “Hot Water’-' at Mister Smith’s, and “Western Wallop” at the Isis. "The Messiah” will be given at Cadle Tabernacle tonight, with a large chorus and special solists. AUXILIARY FOR JUNIOR G. OF G.
