New Heights Are Achieved bySymphony Ferdinand Schaefer Leads Orchestra in Brilliant Opening Concert. BY WALTER D. lIICKMAN The labor of love that Ferdinand Schaefer, conductor, as well as every member of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra has bestowed upon it came into full bloom last night at the Murat theater during every minute of the first concert of the sixth season. There was a balance, a brillance in every section as well as magnificent tone which demonstrated the marvelous advancement that the orchestra has made in six years. The formative period of the orchestra is over and it is now in the stage of advancement and greater growth. Last night's concert is the best guarantee of the future of this civic organization. The orchestra has come to stay and proof of this is the way the audience reacted. One of the most noticeable improvements was the strengthening of every section, especially the French horn and the brass sections. The horn section has been increased over last year. Haydn Work Flayed Well The magnitude as well as the skill of the string sections was shown during the playing of “Variations from the Emperor Quartet” for string orchestra by Joseph Havdn. The sympathetic interpretation of this composition revealed a balance in the string section which was a great delight. The ovation following this was spontaneous and general and Mr. Schaefer brought the members of the string sections to their feet to share the expression of satisfaction of the audience. The first part of the concert was devoted entirely to Carl Goldmark’s “Rustic Wedding Symphony, Op. 26,” and from the playing of “The Wedding March” through “The Bridal Song,” “Serenade” and “In The Garden,” terminating with “The Danse,” the forceful direction of Mr. Schaefer w’as ever present. Direction Improved There seemed to be new' power and control in his baton last night and that brought about a balance and a response w’hich never has been equaled in any concert. The second part of the concert opened with Carl Maria von Weber's Overture to the opera “Euryanthe” and there was no let down either in direction or from any location of the orchestra. The evening of melody was brought to a close with the nlaying of Bizet's “Carmen Suite No. 1,” which brought back memories of some of the most tuneful music that this composer gave the world. History was made by the orchestra last night as it. w'as revealed as a fine, sensitive and w'ell balanced organization.

Indianapolis singers aspiring to a career in opera are to be given the opportunity this week of winning a one-year scholarship for study of opera technique, Mrs. Jane Johnson Burroughs, director of the Burroughs-Jackson College of Music and Fine Arts, announces. The scholarship is to be awarded by Lorene Ivey Frederickson, voice and opera instructor in the school. She is a former opera singer, her repertoire including the title role of “Carmen.”

i aigi uvt ax jg, inc lalau k/il i_r. Applications for try-outs will be received from singers from 18 to 30 until 5 Friday. Auditions will begin at 2 Saturday. Judging, which will be on the basis of voice suited to operatic work, will be done by a committee whose members have no connection with the school. Providing the winner shows progress, the scholarship will continue for one year, and will include both private and class instruction. Two members have been added to the school faculty, Mrs. Burroughs announces. A class in music criticism, with both oral and written work, is held at 10 each Tuesday, with Walter Whitworth as instructor. Miss Daisy Hinkle, Bloomington, who received her musical education at Indiana University and in summer study abroad, is anew instructor of cello. Ethiopian Pictures Coming to Circle Perhaps the combination of dense jungles, arid deserts and freezing plateaus was too great for adventurous cameramen in the past. Whatever the reason the fact remains that Ethiopia was not penetrated and viewed by motion picture lens until a free lance Swiss director made an expedition about a year ago. On the very eve of announcement of hostilities between Italy and Ethiopia, this director. L. Wechsler, and his party, returned to Addis Ababa with 20.000 feet of film. These pictures have been assembled under the title of “Wings Over Ethiopia” and will be shown at the Circle, starting Friday, as a part of the regular movie bill. “Reunion” Writing Begun Following closely a decision to put Herbert Marshall in “Reunion,” William Drake has been signed to start on the script. The World War spy story is to be Marshall's first under his 1936 two-picture deal with Paramount.

Famed Ethel Once Scared by Applause First Night as Star Recalled by Actress to Appear Here Tomorrow. A member of the Barrymore family has the honor of opening the 1935-36 season at English's tomorrow night. This time the honor falls to Ethel Barrymore in W. Somerset Maugham’s comedy, “The Constant Wife.” which was one of her successes some seasons ago. Out of her versatile repertoire. Miss Barrymore selected this comedy because in it is one of her favorite roles and she knew that it would not only interest the more experienced generation of theatergoers but that it would bring to the legitimate theater the younger generation. many of whom have never seen a dramatic play. Recalls Star Debut Although possessing a million memories from her long career on the stage, Miss Barrymore remembers most vividly her appearance before her first starring audience in New York at the Garrick Theater. She realized that this audience which would witness her performance in “Captain Jinks” would make or mar her future. She was so worried that she nearly starved herself. ”Do you wonder that when I made my real debut as a leading lady that I was seized with an acute attack of stage fright?” she asks in discussing this memory. “There I was. the principal player in anew drama by an eminently successful playwright. True, if the piece was bad, good acting could not save it, and if it was good, poor acting would ruin it. “Having the chief role, everything practically hinged on me. The success or failure of the play depended largely upon my ability as the leading performer. The late Clyde Fitch, the author, entrusted so much to me, as also did the late Charles Frohman, my manager, who had spent many thousands of dollars before the play could draw a single dollar.

Voice Failed “To say that I was extremely nervous when I stepped out on that New York stage for the first time would be putting it mildly. I was simply paralyzed with fear. My voice refused to respond to my will. A great lump gathered in my throat. I trembled. “Instead of giving me courage, the burst of applause thai greeted my first entrance only served to frighten me still more because it meant to me that the audience expected a great deal of me. “Before me I saw the eyes of some 1200 persons riveted on me, their ears eager to catch my every word. Then I remembered the critics and I feared what they would say. “When the ordeal was over, I remained awake all night waiting for the morning papers. Then I found that the play and myself were nicely received.” Miss Barrymore has had many New York first nights, but she will never forget that one. “The Constant Wife” will be given at English’s tomorrow night, Friday afternoon and night.
