STRAVINSKY WILL BE HEARD TOMORROW AT ENGLISH'S

'David Coppe . Jd/ Current Attraction at Palace, Offers W. C. Fields and Other Stars Lionel Barrymore, Edna Mae Oliver, Madge Evans and Maureen O’Sullivan Poriray Charles Dickens’ Classic. LOEWS Palace in presenting Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s newest film, “David Coppcrfield,” which boasts an unusually strong cast of 65 star players including W. C. Fields in the role of Air. Micawber, Lionel Barrymore as Dan Peggoty. Edna Mae Oliver as Aunt Betsy Trotwood, Maureen O'Sullivan as Dora, and Madge Evans as Agnes.

The Charles Dickens’ classic is Bald to have been faithfully translated to the screen by Hugh Walpole and directed by George Cukor. In addition to its list of stars, the picture also brings to the screen the skilful artistry of a heretofore ‘‘unknown’’ in the person of Frank Lawton, who is cast as the adult David Copperficld, and Freddie Marthelomew is seen as David, the child, who after his mother has died and left him an orphan, finds himself sent to L/mdon by his step-father, Mr. Murdstone, to work in the winery, and, rebelling, sets out for his aunt Betsy's afoot and after many days and encountering many hardships reaches his home-to-be safely. The producers of “David Copperfield’’ have done their utmost to include all the comedy, romance, spectacle, that Dickens originally penned. Added to the program is another Fitzpatrick traveltalk, “Zeeland, the Hidden Paradise.” and a cartoon, “Hey Hey Fever” in technicolor, and Edwin c. Hill in Hearst Metrotone News. nan They Love Popcorn One of America's favorite indoor Bnd outdoor sports, “eating buttered popcorn,” finds itself enshrined on the screen in Paramount’s “The Gilded Lily,” now at the Indiana, because of an inspired moment on the part of Claudette Colbert, star of the picture. Miss Colbert, a fiend for popcorn herself, had Director Wesley Rugsics as a guest at her home and served a big bowl of buttered and salted popcorn. Throughout the evening, as Miss Colbert and the director discussed pictures, they dipped into the bowl. Suddenly, Miss Colbert sat upright. “Do you know,” she exclaimed, “no one has even immortalized poptorn on the screen and yet it’s one of the nation’s favorite confections. Everywhere I drive, I see popcorn stands and persons buying it. And what is more, to any really confirmed popcorn eater popcorn is really something important. Let’s do something about it.” And. in "The Gilded Lily.” something has been done about it. The picture, which presents Fred MacMurry and Ray Milland opposite Miss Colb*' *■ is the romance of two popcorn ca. s who foregather on Thursday rights to eat their popcorn and watch the world go by. The intervention of another man whirls the girl. Miss Colbert, to dizzy heights, makes her the toasted darling of two continents. In the last sequences she tires of this new life and hurries back to the boy who is waiting on the park bench—to eat popcorn with her. On the same bill with “The Gilded Lily” is a short subject, “A Day in the Lives of the Dionne Quintupled.” This was made by Fathe under the direction of the Canadian Government. It shows the famous babies sleeping, eating, bathing, with ft their parents, the doctor and his staff as well as the special hospital. nun Muni Starred at Apollo Once again, it is said. Paul Muni comes to the screen with a blazing picture of real life—life that touches the raw edges, but is so picturesque "nd colorful that it will grip vhe attentioi of all eudiences, according to advance reports. The picture is “Bordertown,” suggested by the stirring novel by Carrol Graham. Warner Brothers, in this latest starring vehicle for Paul Muni, have chosen a plot that is startling in its emotional intensity. It is now on view at the Apollo. Not since he played the role of a convict in ”1 Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang,” has Muni appeared in a photoplay of such dramatic importance and such outstanding ruggedness. One of the mos* brilliant and colorful actors of the American

stage or screen, it is in such characterizations as that in “Bordertown,” that Muni rises to the full height of his talents. He is said to instill both life and fire into the character of a foreign youth who is torn by conflicting emotions in his desperate battle to win success and love against insurmountable odds. Stung by the injustices done his people, he decides that only the rich get the things worth while in life, and goes to a resort town on the United States border where he acquires both riches and power. It is this picturesque setting that most of the scenes are laid, a community wild and lawless, a cabaret frequented by persons of every caste, and by American millionaires and society women seeking diversion. Bette Davis has the role of a fiery adventuress, the wife of Muni’s partner, who makes way with her husband in the hope of winning the love of the younger man. The other leading feminine role is played by Margaret Lindsay, who has the part of a bored society woman who seeks anew thrill by flirting with the young savage, as she has called him. The surging, torrid love of the youth for the society beauty brings about the tragic climax which is as gripping as it is unusual.

Civic Schedules Fourth Program Washington School Group Will Appear. The Civic Theater tomorrow night will present the fourth program in its series of Sunday performances. It will be presented by a group from George Washington High School in choral verse and rhythm under the direction of Bess Sanders Wright. After the World War, groups in Germany and England sprang up in response to an urge to express a universal song by means of unity of feeling, movement and speech. Groups in different parts of the United States have found the work mast creative and enjoyable to the group working, and most acceptable to an audience. The group has appeared this season before the English section of the State Teachers Association and before the Central Association of Science and Mathematics Teachers. Mrs. Wright obtained her training at the Philidelah Rice School of the Spoken Word and has played in summer theaters at Woodstock, N. Y. and at FTovincetown, Mass. Some numbers are done in un’son, and some in three parts, light, medium and dark voices. Three numbers will be done by Mrs. Wright. Her costumes were designed and made by Margaret Stowers Hiner. The program is as follows: "Macdalenp" Charles Kingsley.. Group In three parts. "Atlanta. After the Race" Ro.elle Mercer Montgomery Bess Wright "The Proud. Mysterious Cat" Vachel Lindsay Group "The Pirate Don Dirk of Dowdee" .... Group "The Trail?” C. B. Crandall Group "Patterns’* Amy Lowell "Hunger” Arr. by Mrs. Wright Pearl Kretheotls. Ethel Hedge.

ROUNDING ROUND tii rat rn c with Walter I H tA I tKj D. HICKMAN

THERE was an individual triumph for every member of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra last night at the Murat. I took the liberty last night of being on the first floor for the first part of the Bach and Brahms program and for the second part I went

upstairs for a very definite reason. That reason was to realize once more the need of the adequate drop or background for this orchestra. I got further away from the rocky mountain and woodland idea of a drop upstairs than I did below. This is no criticism of the orchestra, but it has lot to do in making a symphony concert the theater of great music. Mary Ann Kulimer has every rea son to be proud of her reception while playing with the orchestra Bach’s “Violin Concerto in A Minor.” She found under the baton Ox •Ferdinand Schaefer and with the tremendous response of every member of the orchestra the delightful qualities of the score. There was a poise and a training which was reflected in every mood of the concerto. The support that every member of the orchestra gave her was a compliment to effort and intelligence. And yet, I still maintain, the playing of this concerto would have been, from the standpoint of effect, a bigger sensation if the background and lights had been properly handled. Every member of the orchestra came forward in another triumph bv playing Bach's “Prelude and Fugue in D Minor.” The various

The program concluded with Brahms’ “Symphony No. 4 in E Minor.” nun Idyll to Be Sung '"pOMORROW night, the beauti--I- ful sacred “Idyll of Rebekah,” written by Arthur Matthison and set to music by Joseph Barnby, will be given by the Tabernacle Presbyterian Church vested choir of 50 selected voicesIt is written in two scenes, the first laid partly in the outskirts of the city of Nabor and partly on the road from it to the dwelling of Issac. It tells the beautiful love story, dear to us all. Eliezer is told that the maiden who gives him the cup of water is to be the bride of Issac. In the second scene Isaac goes forth into the field, at eventide, to meditate and to await the coming of Rebekah. This beautiful song poem is one of the most outstanding in the history of Christian music. Dr. J.

Samuel Dushkin and Quartet Will Be on Program With Celebrated Composer-Pianist Fourth Subscription Concert of Martens Series to Include Violin Numbers and Best of Ensemble String Compositions. IGOR STRAVINSKY, the most dynamic of living composers: Samuel Dushkin, eminent violinist, and the Musical Art Quartet will present the fourth subscription conceit of the Martens Concerts, Inc., tomorrow at English's.

Mr. Stravinksy, the composer, at the piano with Mr. Dushkin. will present his own compositions, while the Musical Art Quartet will be heard in some of the finest of string quartet compositions as well as the ensemble playing a Stravinsky Suite for strings and piano. While the fame of Stravinsky is growing steadily, he is today at 50 the same young and petulant Stravinsky, who some 20 years ago startled the world with his inimitable "Petrouchka.” Stravinsky is a hard worker and is never at ease unless he is doing something. He is the spiritual descendant of the great masters of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries and like them his activities cover an amazingly wide range of occupations—composer, pianist and conductor. , Mr. Stravinsky arrived in New York last Saturday and was tendered a reception by distinguished New York musicians at Town Hall on Jan. 7 when the musical program was devoted to Stravinsky compositions. Stravinsky has had an extremely
