Thornton Wilder Brings Vibrant Message in His Talk to Club Women

RV JOSEPHINE DORAN THORNTON WILDER, one Os the most talked of modern authors and one of the most wondered about, author of one of the diamonds in the rubbish heap of present-day novels. The Bridge of San Luis Rev."’ talked to an Indianapolis audience Monday night, about “The Relationship Between Literature and Life. He did not lecture, he did not speak. He talked He described in minute detail the incidents in his life that linked themseive together to form The Bridge " A play of Merimee. a little, scarcely known one-ar play een in Paris concerning the affairs and amour of an actress farted the bragm- eething that ended in the character of his little Peruvian actress in ’The Bridge"

An intense interest in Mme. De Sevign** the greatest letter writer toutside of St. Paul, to quote Mr. Wilder', is responsible for the character of the Marquesa. And her daughter is modeled after the character of the daughter of Mine Dc Sevigne And so it goes, and these characters, disunited at first, bearing no relation to one another, became connected finally by the invisible bridge, “so large do some small things become. Tall and straight and dark, with a vibrant energy that fla.dies in his voice, Mr Wilder is an exceptionally fine platform talker. It may be. as he says, “that he primarily a school master.'’ But he hasn't a school master’s voice nor mannerisms. Word' Tumble Out He is not. deliberate enough. In his intensene.' about, tilings that particularly intercut him. his ’.cords rush over one another, the foot of the next, treading on the heels of the last. It, is hard for a man to stand before an audience, composed mostly of women, and talk for an hour and a half about himself—himself and his brain child. But Mr. Wilder did just that, with a touch ot sheepishness and some light heckling that was thoroughly delightful. He has a way of saying things, a dry, humorous way. an individual phrasing of words that makes the audience chuckle. And nothing is more pleasantly invigorating than to spend a half hour just chuckling. 11l tell you one rhmg about Wilder. You never would mistake him for an insurance man, nor a. dealer in ready mades, nor a rising young lawyer. You might mistake him for an “arrived'' architect. There is something about his hands, the movement of his hands, that indicate that they build things. Words, sentences, thoughts, books. Brought Here by Club Mr. Wilder, who spoke at the Masonic temple, appeared in Indianapolis under auspices of the Indianapolis Business and Professional Women's Club. He was introduced by Evans Woollen Jr., who had the good fortune to be his classmate at Yale university. Mostly, after seeing him and hearing him talk, one gets the impression of tremendous energy. Even his hair, black as a raven’s wing, is brushed down with vigor. Club Auxiliary to Meet Members of the Southern Club Auxiliary’ will meet ior luncheon at 12:30 Friday at the home of Mrs. H. P.

GIRL ABOUT TOWN BY MARILYNN

EVERY once in a while the ticketsailing psychosis hits thp town and the only wise thing to do is to pick out a nice hole and pull it in after vou and meticulously avoid your best friends. The Junior Leaguers are up to their ears in Follies propaganda, what with calling the entire telephone book and a parade Saturday through the main streets at noon. All the little Tudor hall girls are busily promoting Richard Halliburton. the glorious romancer, who is coming to lecture here April 27 at Caleb Mills hall. And Marjorie Fisher called me up the other day to tell me in a low and plaintive minor key that she is chairman of a cabaret to be given April 16 at the Athenaeum called “The Miss-takes of 1929.” It is to be given by the Council of Jewish Juniors to raise money for a building for the Federation camp. Louise Jaeger is president of the council. Some of the girls helping Marjorie are Mildred Frand. who will sing “I Want to Be Bad”; Ida Bunes. who will sing, “Suppressed Desires”; Flora Selig and Jane Slutsky, who will sing “Button Up Your Overcoat”: Lee and Eleanor Wolf, who do harmony singing—didn't, they perform at the Little theatre ball with a baby piano and it was cute? and Janet Thompson and Rose Greenberg, who will do dancing stunts. Marjorie said the only way she found to effectively cope (there I go getting reckless with infinitives again. I wish somebody important would speak to me about it), with the situation was to leave town. So she parked herself safely in New York until the ticket-selling epidemic was over. Which is as good a solution as any I've heard of yet. U tt tt WHOOPEE, children! I'm all pepped up! Went to hear EWe Ney Sunday afternoon at the Maennerchor with Mrs. Jack Goodman. and boys and girls, every' minute we expected the pianiste to pick up the piano, wave it around her head three times, and shout "Hooray for Isadora Duncan!” She wore a gown of vivid green chiffon with long flowing lace sleeves, and her hair is very Eva Tanguay. Her program was very Germanic and melodic and when she hit the last group—peaceful little well-bred nocturnes, etudes, and waltzes by Mendelssohn a*hd Chopin—(the Spring Song, can you bear it?) she shot them all to pieces. They were too delicate to stand up under the strain. What I should adore to hear her play would be Stravinsky and Tchaikowsky, or any of the more briliiant modernistic composers. She could tear them to pieces and you'd go wild about it. As it was. she made even the dilapidated Chopin Polinaise sit up and take notice. Such attack and pyrotechnics! A bit of spectacularity thrills one to the soul occasionally. In an interesting and enthusiastic audience were Elizabeth Ohr with Katrina Fertig and Bernice Marselays, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Zinken, Mr. and Mrs. Alex Vonnegut, Mrs. Samuel Hahn, Mrs, Phillip Efroymson, Stuart Dean. Mrs. Herman Wolff, Mrs. James Ritchey, Miss Laura Hare, Mrs. Charles Latham, Dr. and
