Another Season Closes for Our Own Orchestra Players in This Symphony Design Prove Their Worth in Giving Us More Than an Experiment in Music. r IMIE Indianapolis Symphony orchestra is an organization which has A helped to educate those interested in music. It is an organization which wants to live. I hope it does. The orchestra was presented in its final concert of the season at Caleb Mills Hall, Tuesday night. The first composition played was Mendelssohn's ‘‘Scotch Symphony.” The orchestra’s rendition of this piece was colorful but never elaborate. T tt• n c O/vUCoi Al to f n 1

I was conscious of a certain I smoothness in the orchestra as a unit, in displaying the various I moods of this piece. But there were Jno peaks that lifted one to the j knowledge that it was great music. The “Good Friday Spell,” from I ' Parsifal,” by Wagner, is the type of ! thing that I personally think the | orchestra can do well. It deals with I t he primary presentation of the idea j in a musical setting, j The musicians seemed to feel j closer to this piece and so gave to j it a depth of understanding whicn j has not been evident in some of their more intricate renditions. To me, the "Serenade No. 2, F Major, Opus 63,” by Volkmann, was slow and uninteresting. Not slow as to tempo but slow to get across any feeling or impression, it Just didn't take with me. But the light and airy “Merry Wives of Windsor Overture,” written by Nicolai, was a treat. It was the expression of the entire orchestra in that each group seemed to feel a sort of challenge in taking up the high-flying melody. Tins piece was lifting to one’s spirits. This composition held one’s attention when there was little to hold onto. The skill of the musicians was evident In keeping the music strong without letting it get heavy: I really enjoyed this one. The concert was an Indiana State Symphony Society presentation. <By the Observer.) a a a Theaters today offer: “Sailer’s I.tick” at the Apollo, “The Mind Reader” at the Circle, “Rome Express" at the Ohio, “The Big Drive” at the Indiana, "Perfect Understanding” at the Palace, burlesque at the Colonial, and “Jungle Bride” at the Terminal. 68-FOOT WHALE BREAKS LAWS Highway Commission Grant Dispensation to Trucker Chicago-Bound.

Adams, commission chairman, that truck length and weight law enforcement is going to be more rigid in the future, state police at South Bend stopped Joe Moe of New Jersey, who was trucking a sixty-eight foot whale to Chicago for the world's fair. Moe was driving a truck and trailer with 1932 New Jersey license plates. He said he had been stopped thirty times on his way west. The highway commission decided to grant. Moe a dispensation in view of fact his load carried a fair exhibit and he proceeded through Indiana on a special permit.
