New York Greets Stravinsky, to Appear at English's Jan. 27

STRAVINSKY, the greatest figure among contemporary composers arrived in New York today from Europe, with Samuel Dushkin, violinist, to begin a concert tour of the principal cities.

Upon Mr. Stravinsky’s arrival in New York, a reception was given him at Town Hall. During his American stay he will be guest conductor with the leading orchestras of the country and will be seen in such capacity with the Chicago Symphony orchestra before his Indianapolis concert.

The program to be presented will include compositions of Stravinsky for violin and piano, with the great composer himself at the piano, as well as string quartets and ensemble numbers with the entire personnel. The name of Stravinsky in itself stands as a symbol for all momentous developments through which music has gone in the twentieth century. Stravinsky was the first composer of our time to grasp and comprehend the meaning of a changing world, and he was also the first to give it an adequate expression in music. He is one of the few whom fate has elected to become a great representative of a great epoch The entire musical age of his time has passed through the great masters of the classical age and. more recently, through Wagner and Debussy. For the last twenty years, he has Influenced all the creative musicians the world over, and now in his early fifties, Stravinsky is no less buoyant

City's Night Clubs Swing Into 1935 Activities Following Merry Festivities on New Year's Eve

f BY JOHN W. THOMPSON THE holly has wilted, the tinsel has been trampled into bits and the little tike, 1935, has already begun to settle down to business—he i hopes, big business. One of the happiest, snappiest New Year’s Eves in recent Indianapolis annals was celebrated Monday night and although the whoopee : carried far over into Tuesday morning, few entanglements were reported. I It was a clear .cut case of every one having his own good time.

Night clubs reported splendid crowds for the event with some turning aways prospective customers because of limited space. Floor show!, at the Indianapolis Athletic Club', the Hoosier Athletic Club, the. Columbia Club, Showboat, Chateau Lido, The Cars, Castle Night Club, Tally-Ho Room of the Antlers, and the very ornate revue at the Variety Club were all received with enthusiasm by the crowds. tt tt a • Two old favorites. Red and Harry Stevens, have been engaged at the Log Tavern, 902 N. New Jersey-st. Red is a piano player of long standing, with quite a reputation for his "hot” tunes and arrangements.

Three Stars at Palace Attract ‘Forsaking All Others’ Goes Into Second Week. Because of the tremendous business that Clark Gable, Robert Montgomery and Joan Crawford in “Forsaking All Others” are doing at Loew’s Palace, its final showings will not take place until next Thursday night. On Friday, Jan. 11, “The Night Is Young,” with Ramon Novarro, Edward Everett Horton and Evelyn Laye will open an engagement. Considering the entire script of a screen play as a song, and orchestrating the complete accompaniment to it, is the unusual device by which the screen world has been given a distinct new form of entertainment. This secret is disclosed by Dudley Murphy, the director who placed on the screen “Th a Night Is Young,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s new Viennese musical romance “In this picture,” said Murphy, “we wanted to so perfectly weave music, comedy, drama and spectacle together that one was an absolute part of the other, that we went to unusual lengths. “Oscar Hammerstein 11, librettist, and Sigmund Romberg, the composer, worked together for days, fitting every note into the action of the story. They evolved new ways of introducing songs. “Each song is dramatic action, and sung by different players in a combined dramatic scene and musical number. “It is not a picture with songs in it—it is a drama in which music, while predominant, is never obtrusive.” Based on an original story by Vicki Baum, author of “Grand Hotel,” “The Night Is Young” carries its audience through romantic nights in Vienna, into the great Imperial Opera, the emperor’s palace, and through all the splendor, romance and gayety that marks the gayest of continental capitals. Edward Everett Horton, Charles Lutterworth, Una Merkel, Herman Bing, Rosalind Russell, Henry Stephenson, Donald Cook, Charles Judels, Albert Conti and others of note are among the players. Elaborate choruses, a g-eat symphony orchestra, a military review and other elaborate embellishments mark the highlights of the production.
