The Theatrical World

Symphony Orchestra Ends Season in Glory BY WALTER D. HICKMAN-

■\/rEMORIES of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's last concert of the season at the Murat last night v.;il be centered around the melod>s of Anton Rubinstein, the familiar musical folklore of Collins Foster and the Wier.er Biut Waltz of Johann Strauss. Ferdinand Schaefer, conductor, scored impressively in arranging a program which definitely appealed to those who appreciate orchestral music and those who delight in hearing a large orchestra pl_y composition.- which have a swing, a lilt and the spice of melody. The proof of this is found in Mr Schaefer’s presenting the overture to "Mignon” and Antonin Dvorak’s • Symphony No. 5. E Minor. Op. 95" from The New World Symphony as the first part of the- program. The second half was given over *o melodies which awaken an emotional response. This is excellent program building. The largo and allegro of The New World Symphony were beautifully played by the Never has the orchestra been heard to be’tpr advantage than in these two movements. Tire various string sections were 'pler.did. It was a pleasure to hear the orchestra play three Foster songs. “Old Dog Trav.’’ "Jenny Comes Orr the Green" and “Jeany With the Lmht Brown Hair.” Because of Josiah K Lilly’s interest in the music of Foster. Indianapolis has become the home from which the influence of Foster’s music naturally radiates. The sympathetic playing of tho'-e three songs resulted last night in one of the biggest ovations of the evening. All the meiodious swing and dash that Strauss put into his Wierer Blut Waltz was brought out by Mr. Schaefer and his orchestra. BBS Splendid Chorus at Keith's ZION TRAVELLERS.” Negro religious pageant, was presented last night at Keith’s Theater by a cast of characters selected from Indianapolis Negro churches and a chorus composed of more than 200 persons under the direction of Arthur W. Womack. The pageant had its setting along the straight and narrow path to Heaven and tcld the story of various folk as they applied to St. Peter for entrance to Heaven. On the way they were continually harassed by two comical little imps dressed in red and possessing long tails. The Devil and h:s cohorts, armed with spear and pitchfork, made their bids for the souls of the humans, and in many cases got them. Among the better presented -krtches were "Rich Man, Widow’ and Children.” "Wayward Girl.” and “Missionary and the Gamblers." The songs sung by the chorus, including many of the conventional spirituals of the Negro type, were well presented. Although there were no outstanding soloists, the group harmony was evident as is usual in such music. The Crispus Attueks High School orchestra, under the direction of Miss Ruby Harris, played the prelude and intermission music. The program opened with a skit portraying the old-fashioned camp meeting, in which Old Uncle Joe. after limping upon the stage, became so enthused over the music that he threw away his cane and went into a lively jig. The "Zion Travellers" will be presented again at a matinee this afternoon at 2 and at 8 p. m. tonight. nan Busy Night at Roof THE music of Slim Lamar and his orohpstra. free tap dance instructions from 7.45 till 8:45. under the direction of Louis Stockman, and a "Naughty Marietta" waltz content are the attractions offered by the Indiana Roof for its patrons tonight. Dancing, which will begin at 8:45 tonight, will be interrupted at 11 for the Naughty Marietta” waltz contest preliminary. Contestants will waltz free style to the lilting strains of a group of Victor Herbert's waltz melodies. Six couples will be chosen to waltz in the contest finals to be held on the Roof next Saturday night, when cash awards will be given to the winners.

SHOW GIRLS KIDNAPED! COLLEGE BOYS HELD! JUST PICTURE THAT

It seems that two college boys dated up a couple of showgirls last week in front of the Lyric, picked the girls up. put them under their coats, and walked off with them. "*■ Patrolman Rudolph Price saw the whole thing, felt that the college boys hadn’t been properly introduced, suspected kidnaping, and pursued. He caught the boys three blocks away, searched them, and Pund them carrying concealed girls. Yesterday in Municipal Court Patrolman Price and the college boys explained to Municipal Judge Charles Karabell that the showgirls were merely life-sized photographs used for lobby display purposes. and the college boys added that they had wanted them for their fraternity houses. Tire boys offered no defense except that, as they explained to the court, it was one of those things college boys are likely to do. Judge Karabell withheld judgment.

VOLIVA, SWEPT FROM POWER IN ELECTION, DOOMS FOES TO HELL

by L nitrd Press ZION CITY. 111., April 3. Wilbur Glenn Voliva, who for a decade has predicted a bad end for the world in 1940, took a look at Zion City election returns today and revised his forecast to set the date as of yesterday. Voliva was defeated in a city and township election which ousted all but one of his supporters from city and township office. The vote ended his reign over the industrial community he has ruled with autocratic power for 23 years. "I have no comment, but good can not come of it,” he said ominously. “My opponents are doomed to hell.” Overjoyed supporters of William M. Edwards, the rebel candidate for mayor, saw in f heir victory a judgment against Voliva for his wanderings from the narrow paths of righteousness as defined by John Alexander Dowie, the prophet who founded Zion and established its socialistic industries. They intend to restore and enforce the blue laws that Voliva has annulled by non-enforcement. Cigaret smoking, dancing and oyster eating will be cardinal sins again, punishable by fine and jail sentence. Optometrists to Hold Dinner Dr. W. L. Van Osdol will preside tomorrow night at a business and educational meeting of the Central Indiana Association of Optometrists in the Washington. Dinner at 6 will precede the gathering.
