NEW ROMANTIC TEAM TO OPEN INDIANA EARLY WINTER FILMS

Ann Harding, Gary Cooper Have Leads Margaret Sullavan to Be Seen After ‘Peter Ibbetson.’ Anew romantic team, Gary Cooper and Ann Harding, are to be seen In Peter Ibbetson," picturization of George DuMaurier's love story, which comes to the Indiana screen nrxt Friday as the first in a series of new pictures announced today by I. M. Halperhi, Indiana-Cucle manager. ‘Peter Ibbetson" features also the work of Dickie Moore and Virginia Weidlcr, as juveniles; John Halliday, Douglas Dumbrille and Ida Lupino. It is perhaps the most poetic picture translation yet presented. Following "Peter Ibbetson,” the Hollywood adaptation of Stark Young's 1934 best seller, "So Red the Rose," starring Margaret Sullavan, is to be presented. Tells of Women's Courage Featured are Walter Connolly, Randolph Scott, Elizabeth Patterson (Hoosien, Janet Beecher and Dickie Moore. The novel, adapted for the screen by Maxwell Anderson and Laurence Stallings, is the story of the effect of the approach of the Civil War upon a fine old Southern family. It deals primarily with the courage of the women of the household. The day after Thanksgiving, "In Person,” Ginger Rogers’ first starring picture, is to be shown. Miss Rogers, who has been shooting skyward in pictures with FYed Astaire, will have George Brent as her leading man. From the pen of Samuel Hopkins Adams, “In Person,” tells the predicament of a movie star on vacation after a nervous breakdown caused by a mobbing "public.” After she attaches herself to a likeable young man. the picture takes on a "Taming of the Shrew" angle. Coming to the Indiana shortly is "I Dream Too Much,” which will introduce the operatic star, Lily Pons, to the screen. Henry Fonda, of "Way Down East” fame, is tc be her leading man. In the cast will be Eric Blore, whose buttling and waiting in several recent pictures has been fine.

Ohio Presents Two Features ‘Keeper of the Bees' Comes to Local Screen. “Keeper of the Bees,” the picture play of Gene Stratton-Porters story, is the chief feature of the Ohio's double-feature program today and tomorrow. The other picture is ‘‘Going Highbrow” with Guy Kibee and Zasu Pitts. “Keeper of the Bees” tells the story of a young soldier who discovers that he has only a short lime to live. He decides to desert the hospital to which he has been assigned and really “live” the last months of his life. He stops at a quiet bungalow where an aged beekeeper lives and learns that there is more to life than time. Neil Hamilton and Betty Furness are starred.

Vocal Ability Is Shown in Last Recital Singing of Don Cossacks Resembles Gigantic Human Organ. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Yesterday afternoon the Don Cossack Male Chorus under the leadership of its Napoleonic Serge Jaroff. sang its farewell Indianapolis concert at English's. Its first concert years ago could not possibly have been more inspiringly beautiful. These 31 men from the River Don region, picked from a starving group of prisoners after the revolution, are the essence of choral singers. Their singing is like a gigantic organ, with all the diminuendos and allegros of that instrument, com-* bined with a human creative expression impossible to attain on a mechanical organ. It is music which lives and will live. Directs With Whole Body Mr. Jaroff, the only one among them who was a professional musician before the formation of the chorus, directs the a capella music with facial expression and movement of his hands and body. His small frame shifts from one foot to another, his body becomes rigid and relaxes. Each movement means a certain thing to the chorus, each member of which watches the tiny leader closely. In yesterday's program, "Song of the Indian Host,” from the opera, "Sadko,” by Rimsky-Korsakoff, was received warmly. Known to most of us as the "Song of India,” this music is adapted peculiarly to the versatility of the Cossacks’ voices. Their marvelous falsettos, almost like violin tones, and the gutteral bass, made a fine contrast. Os the first group, religious songs, "Funeral Song,” by Tschesnokoff, was best. It is a plea to God for safety of the soul of one dead. The theme's plaintive simplicity was arrested ably and controlled nicely. Arranged by Leader Another of Rimsky-KorsakofTs songs. "The Invisible Town Kitesh and the Maid Fevronia,” which has been arranged for choral singing by Mr. Jaroff, was an example of what the choristers can do with monumental music. The song is built on operatic themes with the plea for alms “in God’s name,” starting it and the chorus "in the Invisible Town,” ending it. The song has imaginative power, sweeping strokes of tonal beauty and a plot background that holds all the music together in one striking line of musical thought. “An Old Polka,” comical song of the sweetheart who asks her boy friend to dance the polka, is the type of thing the men seem to enjoy most. “Lezginka,” is another of the same type and gives the singers an opportunity to display their own particular brand of vocal gymnastics.

Strength Revealed The closing “Two Don Cossack Songs,” were done ably and revealed the physical strength of a chorus that can sing a difficult program and then have vocal power left to perform two vibrant tunes in a masterful manner. The Cossacks strode from the stage yesterday supposedly for the last time, but we believe they will be back, although perhaps not for several years. Music like theirs is essential to the cultural background of any civilization and any requirement as strong as that is bound to bring back the necessity. Gallant men, strange men. men from all walks of life, men who sing for the pure joy of singing, the Don Cossacks are remnants of a fierce, fighting, romantic race. One could almost imagine the pounding of hooves on the pavement as they "rode” for the next town they intend to "capture.” Mrs. Nancy Martens, sponsor of the concert, deserves a big hand for allowing Indianapolis music lovers to hear the Cossacks. She also deserves praise for bringing to local “legit” patrons the recital of Nino Martini, Nov. 24, and the three operas, “Aida.” “Lohengrin” and “Madame Butterfly.” Nov. 29 and 30. Stooges Back in Films Back from a personal appearance tour, the Three Stooges, Jerry Howard, Larry Fine and Moe Howard, this week started anew starring comedy.

So, instead of going to England for Christmas, Miss Grahame is bringing her family to Hollywood.

Admiral Byrd Here Thursday Noted Explorer to Lecture at Armory Afternoon and Evening. Admiral Richard E. Byrd, one of the great explore!s and pioneers of modern times! is to lecture at the Armory Thursday night at 8. There will be a matinee for school children at 3:30. The address is to be illustrated by motion pictures which give a graphic account of the hazardous exploits of the second Byrd expedition. The pictures show- the rebuilding of Little America, where for two winters 56 men lived buried beneath the ice. They show the strange life on the bottom of the world —penguins, skua gulls and snowy petrels. They follow Byrd on his exploratory flights and show him at Advance Base, just before he began his solitary vigil through five months of Arctic night. During this time he lived in a tiny hut at a point 123 miles south of Little America, for the purpose of scientific observation and maintenance of the world'3 southernmost weather station.

George Gershwin Music Heard in First of Sunday Concerts Musical Show Selections Seemed to Lose Vitality When ‘Revue’ Atmosphere Was Lacking. The music of'George Gershwin was heard at the Civic Theater last night in the first of this season's Sunday night concerts. Show tunes, miscellaneous songs, a prelude for piano and the Rhapsody in Blue made up the program which was presented by the Sigma Alpha lota vocal octet and string quartet, and Mrs. Haroid Sweeney, pianist. Mrs. William G. Sparks, who directed and arranged the music, also appeared as pianist and accompanist.

The concert was somewhat in the nature of a “noble experiment,” with the composer as its subject. At the finish, Mrs. Sparks’ arrangements seemed to have won out over Mr. Gershwin’s music. As in the case of most popular compositions, the chief interest lay not so much in the music itself, as in what was done to it. Mrs. Sparks is clever, both as arranger and pianist, and her original harmonic and instrumental embellishments of the wellknown melodies were often to the music’s advantage. But in the chaste medium of the string quartet, songs like “Strike Up the Band" seemed to lose their vitality. An over-serious approach to essentially flippant music seemed to mar the performance, and the introduction of “expression” into the songs only rendered the lyrics incongruous. Aside from such works as the “Rhapsody.” Gershwin’s music seems out of place in the concert hall. Members of the octet were Mesdames H. H. Arnholt, Robert Blake, J. Harry Green, O. M. Jones. Carl B. Moore, Paul E. Dorsey and the Misses Mary. Frey and Irene Jarrard. The quartet was composed of Miss Marianne Kulmer, Miss Roberta Trent and Mrs. T. W. Rubush, violins, and Miss Lillian Statrost,

Cincinnati Orchestra's Initial Venture Called Civic Achievement 7000 Attend Two Performances of Wagner's “Die Walkuere," Sponsored by the Symphony Organization. BY JAMES THRASHER Timr* Staff Writer A great occasion in the musical life of Cincinnati was the produc* tion of Wagner s Die Walkuere," sponsored bv the Symphony Orchestra and directed by Eugene Goossens. on Friday and Saturday nights. An event too in the lives of the more than 7000 people who attended the two performances. It is difficult to imagine a more excellent presentation than was this initial venture of Cincinnati’s orchestra in the operatic field.

Only highest praise can be spoken of all who took part from the principals to the last man in the second violins and the electrician back stage. From the first note of the opera, one sat back with the feeling that here was an immortal musicdrama about to be performed as one has ardently wished to hear it. Memorable Portrayal Cyrena Van Gordon's Brunnhilde was a goddess so dramatically moving that one could forget the stupendous vocal difficulties confronting any 6inger who essays the role. The tender, tragic love of Siegmund and Sieglinde was given a memorable portrayal by Paul Althouse and Greta Stueckgold. and the Wotanof Fred Patton was admirably sung. To the part of Fricka, Elizabeth Wysor brought a beauty, both vocal and physical, almost beyond the deserts of that trouble-making deity. Herbert Gould was the cruel Hunting, an imposing and convincing villain in excellent voice. Mr. Goossens proved himself no stranger to the technique of operatic direction, and his thorough knowledge of (he work presented was unquestionable. Each subtlety of the complex score was masterfully handled, and the orchestra, perhaps the real "star" of any Wagner opera, gave a beautiful performance. Credit Due Teacher Credit is also due Robert Korst. teacher at the Cincinnati College of Music, and an experienced Euro-

’cello. Mrs. Frank B. Hunter, as narrator, gave a brief biographical sketch of Gershwin's life. (By J. TANARUS.) ENGLISH 8:20 MATINEE WED. 2:20 YO?il EVES.—SSc to 52.20. WED.

pean singer of Wagner operas, for his splendid work as producer and stage director. It is of interest to that Miss Frances Benner, former student at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music, sang the role of Waltraute, one of the Valkyries. She has boon chosen to sing Magdalena. one of the two feminine roles in Wagner's "Die Meistersingcr.” which is scheduled for performance in March. Miss Benner also has been engaged as soloist with the Schubert String Quartet of Cincinnati for a Southern tour in December, and for a production of the "Messiah" at an Alabama college. Ambassador Shows 'The Dark Angel" "The Dark Angel." one of the out* standing pictures of the year, starring Merle Oberon, Herbert Marshall and Frederic March, is the feature at the Ambassador Theater today and tomorrow. The story deals with two cousins, in love with the same girl, and their strange adventures in the World War. The climax is reached when one of them is discovered after they had thought him dead.
