JEAN MUIR ADDS TALENT TO LYRIC’S FILM

One of the satellites in “Stars Over Broadway,” the picture starring James Melton, Frank McHugh and Pat O'Brien which is to open at the Lyric Friday, makes good use of the beauty and talent of Jean Muir. The stage show will include six acts of vaudeville with the Harris twins and Loretta Allen as one of the headline acts.

Marx Offering Has Plot, Too Comedians' Picture Boasts Credible Story. “A Night at the Opera” has the Marx Brothers, and for most of us that is enough. But it also has a plot—a really credible story, spiced with operatic interlude and romantic moments which are supplied by the two young singers, Kitty Carlisle

and Allan Jones. Os course, there is the usual mad whirl of insane gags and antics of the Marxian type. The scenes, according to the stars, include some real hot-dog fun in an open air restaurant, two sheets and a pillowcase in a stateroom on an ocean liner, a hotel room without a Gideon Bible, and a capriccio and a couple of cadenzas in an opera house scene. The supporting cast includes the stately and dignified Margaret Dumont who claims that, in the course of her nine years as Groucho’s leading lady, she has been chased 10.000 miles, in addition to suffering several nervous breakdowns. Opening at Loews tomorrow.

Virtuoso to Retire When Recitals End Yehudi Menuhin. 19. Plans Two-Year Rest on Western Ranch. Announcement by Yehudi Menuhin. 19-year-old violin virtuoso, that he plans to retire for two years as soon as he completes his present world tour, climaxed a strenuous decade of concert work. The statement was made Sunday at the close of a Paris concert. Mr. Menuhin already has given 100 concerts in 63 cities. His European schedule calls for future appearances in London, Amsterdam, The Hague. Madrid, Rome. Lisbon. Milan and Florence. As soon as possible, he will go to his California ranch for a complete rest. . In spite of his father s ngid limitation of Yehudi’s public performances during his early childhood, he has led a life of intensive study. Asa two-year-old. he sat on his mother's lap at San Francisco Symphony Orchestra concerts; taken home, he cried for a violin of his own. . . . His precocious talent was guarded and nurtured by wise and levelheaded parents. They entrusted his instruction to Louis Persinger, then concert master of the San Francisco Symphony; it was with that organization that Yehudi made his memorable debut when he was 9. The next year the New Y'ork Symphony Orchestra presented him to an incredulous audience who heard a chubby boy in velvet knickers play the Beethoven concerto with flawless technique and masterful artistry. Europe, clamoring to hear him, had to wait until 1929. Meanwhile, though he gave only four to six recitals a season, Yehudi and his two younger sisters, talented pianists, were receiving a broad general education. Eight instructors were engaged for the three children, who were taught piano, harmony, English. French and German. Their father, a San Francisco school teacher, taught them history and arithmetic. In addition there were hours devoted to exercises and recreation, concert going and further acquaintance with the great works of music through recordings. And the children slept 11 hours each night.
