Dancer With Ballet Likes Excitement So She Hopes to Live in America, Where Things Always Happen. By JOHN W. THOMPSON Tamara Toumanova, a member of Col. W. de Basil's Ballet Russe troupe, which is to open a tworight engagement at the Murat Christmas, is ‘‘up on her toes,” in more ways than one. She knows what's going on about her, has definite likes and dislikes. For instance, the 17-year-old dancer, born on a freight train, of a Russian colonel and a Georgian princess, thinks Clark Gable is the outstanding male screen star. ‘‘Mr. Gable has so much charm, so gracious a smile an artistry all his own,” Miss Toumanova said in a recent interview. Paviowa Instilled Ambition With her parents, the attractive Russion girl travelled through China, Japan, India and Egypt. In Paris she saw Anna Paviowa dance, immediately expressed a desire to take up that mode of artistic expression. With the Paviowa inspiration, Miss Toumanova made her debut in the Trocadero in Paris, with Muss Paviowa, at the age of seven. ‘‘Following the performance,” Miss Toumanova said, ‘ The most important event in my life took place. Miss Paviowa took me on her knee, told me it is the mind and the heart, not the feet which make for a great dancer." Likes History, Novels, Italian Art Miss Toumanova, who has a gluttonous interest in history, reads novels and loves Italian painting, has a very definite idea about art in any form, she feels that a truly great person must live forever In the memory of the audience. Those who appear only temporarily to the people's taste, are not really artists. She likes American hotels, cafeterias and shoes, each for special reasons. She was wearing a pair of American-made slippers when we interviewed her. She showed them gaily. “There is just something about America I can't resist,” she said. “In Paris, which I love, nothing ever happens. I must have something happening. So I hope to make America my permanent home.” Garbo, Dietrich Have Charm Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich have charm, says Miss Toumanova, but it is always displayed in the same manner, which makes their pictures monotonous to her Jean Harlow. a friend of Miss Toumanova's, is not a great artist, even in her specialties, the petite Russian claimed. The evidence of Jean's dyed hair is sufficient to prove to Miss Tamara that Miss Harlow's popularity is not the lasting kind. Miss Toumanova joined Col. de Basil in 1931. She would like to ’live in Santa Barbara, Cal., hopes to go into the movies some day. Awakens to Get Role in Movies Times Special HOLLYWOOD. Dec. 23. Many! people would like to be awakened as was a hobo who preferred to be I known as Ted Smith. The knight of the road was asleep \ on a mattress of tumbleweeds when i a screen company entered the hobo jungle for scenes in "Don’t Bet on Love" which stars Gene Raymond. Surprised by the guests in his meager “bdudoir,” he recovered his composure when the director offered him a role. In addition to facing the cameras, he offered technical advice to the six actor hoboes and departed much richer.

Cramer Will Give Recital Next Month Jordan Piano Teacher to Present Program of Chopin Works. Bomar Cramer, pianist, is to make his annual Indianapolis concert appearance at English’s, Sunday afternoon, Jan. 12. His program is to be devoted to the works of Chopin, and is to be the first "one composer” recital heard here since Schnabel’s Beethoven recital at the Maennerchor two years ago. Mr. Cramer already has established himself as an outstanding interpreter of the works of Chopin. Throughout his musical training he has been steeped in the tradition of the Polish master's music. He began his study with Pettis Pipes, a distinguished pupil of Theodore Lescitizki, teacher of such eminent Chopin players as Paderewski, Gabrilowitsch Friedman and Moiseiwitch. Later, Mr. Cramer spent several years with Josef Lhevinne, probably the leading Chopin authority of the present day. Chopin’s Works Varied Few composers have written In such a variety of styles and with such masterful command of the piano's resources as Chopin. Except for a few songs and a composition for cello, he devoted his genius to this instrument, and our modern conception of piano composition, interpretation and style are a direct outgrowth of his influence. The program which Mr. Cramer has chosen is to include, as its principal offerings, the F Minor Ballade, the B Minor Sonata and the F Minor Fantasie. Mr. Cramer is head of the piano department of the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. During his strenuous years of teaching and study the young pianist finds time to paint and draw. Last year his display of water colors at Lieber’s galleries caused comment among Indiana art circles, because of their coloring, rhythm, faithfulness to life. (By J. TANARUS.)
