NEED MAGICIAN TO PERFORM AT LEISURE CLUGS Ritter Is Rounding Out His Bookings for Groups Being Organized. A man-huut is on in Indianapolis for one who can pull rabbits from his sleeves and make glasses of water become bouquets of flowers. The hunt is under the auspices of the Leisure Hour Clubs of Indianapolis with Dwight 8. Ritter, director of the clubs for entertaining the unemployed, as leader. Ritter wants a magician to aid in rounding out his bookings of entertainment for the clubs now under organization. The organization of new clubs finds numerous communities taking stock of the number of their unemployed citizens and appealing to Ritter for aid in the formation of groups for weekly entertainments and day-time centers of amusement. “Forget the Depression” . “One community,” Ritter said, “that is more or less in a rooming house and apartment neighborhood found after a poll that 35 per cent of its inhabitants were unemployed. They’re starting a Leisure Hour Club." He suggests that other sectors of the city, churches, fraternal organizations, and parent-teacher groups, take an inventory of the number of unemployed persons with a view of organizing a Leisure Hour body to entertain and to dismiss depression thoughts with community singing and games during the winter months. Organize at Brookside Tonight the Brookside community house’s club will formulate its organization. The meeting begins at 7:30 p. m. Ritter will aid in the organization meeting. All persons in the vicinity interested are invited to attend the meeting. Similar meetings are scheduled at Rhodius park community house next Tuesday night and at Municipal Gardens on Wednesday eve. Persons desiring to get in touch with Ritter to obtain facts on the organization of clubs should write him at 911 Majestic building or call Lincoln 2737.

HAMPDEN IS AT HIS BEST AS ‘CYRANO’ Actor Gives Stage One of Greatest Death Scenes When the Big-Nosed Poet Answers the Last Summons. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN SARAH BERNHARDT will always be present In my own Hall of Fame because of her death scene in “Camille.” Walter Hampden goes into that memory box at the side of Bernhardt because his death of Cyrano is one of the two greatest I have ever witnessed upon the American stage Last night at English’s when the big nose of “Cyrano de Bergerac” was getting more white as the Death was fastening its cold embrace upon his tired soul and ugly body, I was more convinced than ever that here was the greatest acting in death that I have seen since Bernhardt coughed

her self to death as “Camille.” Hampden catches the soul glory of the big nosed poet, adventurer and fighter as Cyrano draws his sword and fights death in its own uneven fight. Here is poetic beauty of life’s failure as man fights to carry on in a mad, exhausting effort to defeat death. One’s mind flashes back to Cyrano’s fight with a hundred men who would kill his

drunken friend. Again, Hampden indicates the glorious fight of the cadets of Gascoyne, in the fourth act. So great is the artistry and technique of Walter Hampden as Cyrano in this death scene, in the first act, when he fights a duel to death while composing a rhyme of several verses before he “makes

Hampden as Cyrano.

the final thrust,” in the funny but soul-touching love scene when Cy-, rano supplies the soul for the words of love that is the characterization that I am ready to say, without fear of contradiction, that Cyrano is Hampden's greatest contribution to the American stage. Those few of you who have the memory of Mansfield as Cyrano, when he played English's in 1899 for one performance, will welcome the greatness and completeness of Hampden as the fighting, romantic poet of Rostand’s great poetic, romantic comedy-tragedy. To me, it will be the great victory of Hampden in the death scene, which will always linger fresh and glowing in my own litttie Hall of Fame. Since Bernhardt, I have never witnessed a more wonderful portrayal of death than that of Hampden as Cyrano. • It has been my good fortune to have seen Hampden at least four previous times in this role, but last night Cyrano seemed to have more soud and beauty even in physical ugliness than ever before. Hampden's great triumph (excluding consideration of his mighty facial makeup) rests, of course, in the great lyric beauty that he finds in the text. The actor is carrying a tremendously large company and production with him. It is one of the heaviest which we have seen in recent years. The rest of the cast really doesn't matter, but it is entirely satisfactory, especially the charming simplicity of Katherine Warren as Roxane; the work of Whitford Kane as Ragueneau, the pastry poet, who makes better tarts than verse, and the strutting elegance of Reynolds Evans as Comte de Guiche. Here is perfection in acting if it ever existed. Mr. Hampden will close his engagement at English’s today with, a matinee and night performance.

STATE MAY ASK COURT TO RULE LIBBIMS FREE Demand for Trial Likely to Result in Directed Not Guilty Verdict. Bp United Prr*t WINSTON-SALEM, N. C., Oct. 20. —Libby Holman Reynolds/ demand for "complete vindication’’ on the charge of murdering her husband, Smith, opened the possibility today that the state might present a skeleton case against her and ask a directed verdict of not guilty. Solicitor Carlisle Higgins was silent on his next move, however, saying he was entirely too busy to think of the Reynolds case this week. Higgins’ last comment was on the Reynolds family letter suggesting the state drop the case against Mrs. Reynolds and Ab Walker, Smith’s closest friends. Libby Holman,, through Jigs attorney, Benet Polikoff, objected to any move that would not exonerate her completely. “I want a trial,” she said, “in order to get complete vindication and exoneration. I want this cloud over me lifted permanently, not temporarily.” It was pointed out that though the charge were quashed, future grand juries could reindict her. Rate Reduction Asked Petition for an electric rate reduction bjF the Northern Indiana Public Service Company was filed before the public service commission today by the board of trustees of Wolcott, Ind. Charge is made that the present rate is not in keeping with prevailing reduced costs. Breeding grounds of the pinkfooted geese are being sought in remote regions of Iceland by an expedition.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNIJY Secretary American Bridge League Tournament players have many troubles—and, as with every one else, some of them never happen. An amusing incidept occurred recently In the National Challenge Team-of-Fcur championship, in which P. H. (Hal) Sims caused himself a lot of unnecessary anguish. Sims held the East hand and his partner in the West was Edward Hymes Jr. South was the dealer and. of course, passed. West also passed and North opened with one heart. Sims overcalied with two diamonds and Hymes in the West bid two no trump, which was promptly doubled by North. East and West were vulnerable and Sims feared he was in for a bad set.

The Play North's opening lead was the ace of hearts and after laying down his hand as dummy, Sims took one look at the North hand to see just how bad the slaughter would be. During the game he usually has a glass of a soft drink at his elbow and after one glimpse at North's rock-crushers he became so perturbed that he upset the glass over cards, players, and kibitzers alike. Tournament ethics prgvented him from expressing his opinion of his partner’s bid, but if thought could

have produced any effect, Hymes would have shriveled to a crisp. The confusion lasted several minutes and Hymes was the only one who did not appear upset. The cards were dried off as. well as possible and when the players finally resumed their seats, he calmly proceeded with his play of the hand. North led the ace, king, and queen of hearts, followed by the king of clubs, to show' his partner a sure entry in that suit if South ever should be in the lead. He then led another heart. Hymes won with the jack and ran off five diamond tricks. This left each player with three cards. Hymes kept the ace and deuce of spades and the queen of clubs, while North was obliged to discard all his hearts, and held only the ace of clubs and the king and ten of spades. Dummy's three remaining cards were the queen and eight of spades and the jack of clubs. % At the tenth trick, Hymes led the jack of clubs from dummy. North won with the ace, and Vas obliged to return a spade, which gave the declarer the two remaining tricks. It was now Sims's turn to feel sheepish, and South's turn to criticise his partner for allowing two no trump to, be made when holding all the cards in the deck. (CODvright. 1932. NEA Service, (Inc.)
