Violin Recital by Milstein Is Superb 9 Enthusiastic Audience Hears Russian in Concert at English’s. BY JAMES THRASHER Truly a ‘ Toscanini of the violin.” as one writer has called him, Nathan Milstein made a welcome reappearance at English's yesterday before an enthusiastic audience. This young Russian, like the great conductor, allows the composer to speak through him and colors each composition with superb artistry. There is a rare quality of inevitability in Mr. Milstein's playing. Each phrase is delivered with authority and absolute “rightness,” that makes us feel it could not be changed without detriment. Technically, of course, Mr. Milstein has “everything:” A tone, rich, varied and of amazing power, unerring accuracy and dazzling skill of bow and fingers. Yet this equipment never is used for mere display. He is a master musician even more than a master violinist. An excellent delivery of familiar music made up the first half of the program. The Vitali Chaconne was played with strength and dignity, yet colored with infinite shading. To the Bach G Minor Sonata, Mr. Milstein brought complete understanding of its structural and emotional content. Turns to Lalo Turning to the “Symphonie Espagnole" of Lalo, the violinist disclosed the full warmth and vibrancy of his singing tone, and thrilled his listeners with a spirited performance that knew no technical limitations. In the Lalo and throughout the recital, Mr. Milstein was assisted by the masterful accompaniments of Leopold Mittman, collaborator par excellence. Mr. Milstein avoided the wellworn paths of the violinist’s rather limited repertoire in his closing groups. His own transcriptions of a “Consolation” by Liszt, Kodaly’s It Rains in the Village,” “The Seamstress,” by Moussorgsky, and a Chopin Nocturne were followed by Paganini’s “La Campanella.” Though designed more for a display of lovely tone and breathtaking dexterity, each selection bore the mark of the player’s innate artistry. Wic .iawsky’s “Polonaise de Concert,” “The Bumble Bee.” by Rimsky-Korsakoff, and a third encore, ended an afternoon of music to be treasured in the memories of those who heard it. Pianist to Give Second Recital Sara Elizabeth Miller to Play at Herron. Sara Elizabeth Miller, pianist, is to play her second Indianapolis rental in the Sculpture Court of John Herron Art Institute on Monday evening. March 16, at 8 30. Her performance there two years ago will be remembered for the magnitude of the program and its excellent performance. A native of Indiana, Miss Miller is still in her early twenties. She has been pronounced one of the really gifted and brilliant young American pianists by Rudolph Ganz, internationally famous concert player and teacher, who heard her in Chicago recently. Miss Miller has received all her training in America and for the past 10 years has studied with Bomar Cramer. During her two years in Texas she gave frequent recitals throughout the state and was recognized, particularly in Dallas, as a player of outstanding musicianship and technical equipment. For the past two years she has been teaching at the Arthur Jordan Conservatory of Music. The program which Miss Miller has chosen for her forthcoming recital includes the Brahms “Variations and Fugue on a Theme by Handel.” one of the masterworks of piano literature.

Shirley and Norman Siegel playing a letter game. BY NORMAN SIEGEL HOLLYWOOD, Cal.. March 9.—Shirley Temple is what every fond mother believes her darling young daughter to be. She really is. Shirley is one of the few real things in this make-believe land of magnified puppets and cardboard grandeur. 4 If you adore Shirley on the screen, you’ll love her in person. She's anything but a precocious youngster. The camera electrifies her into the biggest motion picture box office attraction of the day. Away from its enchantment she is a smart little girl who loves to dance, sing, draw pictures and play games. Shirley was dancing when we called on her in the rehearsal hall on the Twentieth Century-Fox lot. She was practicing a dance routine for her next picture, “The Poor Little Rich Girl.” It was one of five scheduled for Shirley. This particular number contained a difficult military tap routine. Shirley learned the steps in two weeks, although her instructor, Jack Haskell, had expected it would take her a month, the time it would

require the average grqwn-up dancer to master the dance. Shirley was dressed in red soldier trousers with blue stripes and a red, white and blue striped jersey shirt. She carried a wooden sword on her shoulder and danced like a toy doll. In the corner of the room was a wooden 'pop gun which she fired during the rest periods. After going through the routine by herself, Alice Faye and Jack Haley, who will appear in the picture with her, joined Shirley in the dance. She wore them out with her tiny tapping toes. As she danced, she counted her beats and didn’t miss one of the "breaks” in the number. B B B MRS. GEORGE F. TEMPLE, her mother, sat in a corner of the studio and occasionally told Shirley to hold her sword straight. Otherwise, the youngster did as she pleased. Shirley practices her dances from 9:45 to 11 o’clock in the morning and another hour in the afternoon. Following her morning rehearsal, she goes to school. Her teacher is Lillian Barclay, head of the Twentieth CenturyFux school for new talent. She was appointed by the State Board of Education to instruct Shirley and spends most of the day with the youngster, even when they’re not at lessons.

Knight Gives Interesting Talk on Falconry and Wild Animals London Lecturer Also Shows Motion Pictures at Second of Series Sponsored by Town Hall at Keith’s. Training modern birds of prey in the ancient art of falconry is Capt. C. W. R. Knight's hobby. He described his methods and showed motion pictures of wild animals and birds yesterday, in the second of a series of adventure lectures sponsored by the Town Hall Association at Keith's.

Most of Captain Knight’s lecture and movies dealt with James, a large Marshall Hawk-Eagle and one of the rarest of the bird family. This pictorial history began with James as an egg in his parents’ nest, in an African treetop. In a hideout near the nest, which measured seven feet in diameter. Mr. Knight “shot” James from the day he was born until he left him in England to start this lecture tour. Bird Developed Swiftly When the lone egg in the hawkeagles' nest chipped open, James emerged a fluffy, downy bird with big eyes. Swiftly he developed into a full-grown hawk with a wingspread of eight feet. He is now an ardent student in the captain's falconry school. A graduate of that school. “Mr. Ramshaw,” a large brown eagle, was with Captain Knight. He flew about the stage after a piece of tough perk. The same bird was here five years ago. Pictures of side trips to a little island inhabitated mostly by penguins. and to wild game reserves in Africa, were included in the lecture. The third lecture in the series is to be given Sunday afternoon by Alexander Markey on "Mysteries of the Maori Tribes.” Stone Has Never Had a “Flop” Fred Stone, star of "Farmer in the Dell” has never had a “flop” show since the first time he appeared in a Broadway production.

The young star is best in reading and spelling, according to her teacher. She also studies arithmetic, drawing and French. Shirley does a lot of drawing in her spare moments and particularly likes to color her subjects. Her mother plans to give her art lessons later. Shirley could take lessons in almost any subject under the cloudless California skies right now. The other day a harpist called her mother and offered to give the youngster a harp if she could also give her lessons. a a a 13 EHEARSALS are play for Shirley. She never misses an opportunity to have some fun during the practice sessions. The day we saw her, she was up to par in this respect. During a brief halt in the dance routine, she dropped her wooden sword and,- using it as a cane, hobbled around like an old lady. The boys around the studio playfully call her “Grandma.” It all started when she dressed up as a little old lady in the “Little Colonel.” “Grandma” Temple enjoys playing the absurd role. But before the camera Shirley is an entirely different person. The camera means more than anything else to her. Shirley will be 7 on April 23. She has been in the movies since she was 3. “The

troduced. Saying “hello,” she immediately suggested that we play “squares.” “Squares” is her favorite game, because she can beat everybody at it. a u a PERHAPS you remember the game. We didn’t, and Shirley found us a delightful opponent, beating us 12 to 8. The idea of the game is to complete squares. First you mark five rows with six dots in each. Then the players take turns in joining the dots. The idea is to avoid drawing a third side on a possible square, for if you do your opponent can com-

likes spinach and cake, but very few sweets. She is in bed every night by 8 o'clock and doesn't have to be told a number of times to go to sleep. Before retiring, her father reads her the "Oz Books,” which she thinks are thrilling. And Shirley uses the “Lord's Prayer” to speed her off on her nightly journeys to the “land of nod.” She has her own little cottage x on the Twentieth Century-Fox studio lot. It is a four-room blue-and-white stucco bungalow. One room contains a white doll house and garden. The little brown-eyed beauty has between 200 and 300 dolls in her collection. Recently she received a six-foot doll from Japanese admireri. A number of the dolls are replicas of the quintuplets, whom she adores. a a a THE bungalow is done entirely in blue and white. One room contains a kitchen where her lunches are prepared. Another room has a huge mirror and dressing table along one wall. This room is also used as her school house and has a little white “school desk” chair. The living room has a large couch covered in a printed “toy town” fabric. In the backyard she has a swing, and a pen where she keeps her pet rabbits and chickens. Before Shirley reports on her daily lessons, her teacher has to report on the number of eggs the chickens have laid. Shirley eats vhe eggs for breakfast. , A healthy youngster, she is anything but a tomboy. Nobody but her mother touches her golden locks. Mrs. Temple even cuts her hair, which she’ll have to be doing soon, for it’s getting heavy. She also handles much of Shirley’s fan mail, which averages 3000 letters a one-tenth of which is from foreign followers of the child star. What does Shirley want to be when she grows up? Her answer to that serious question is: “I want to grow up and get married and have a baby feirl.” “Well, have you found the boy you’re going to marry?” “Uhu, only I’m afraid he’ll be too old when I grow up.” “Who is he?” “Jimmy Dunne.” a a a 'T'HEN Shirley went back to her dancing, this time guided by Jack Good. He's a Columbus (Oj boy who used to dance in “Scarlet Mask” at Ohio State. Irwin Whittridge is his real name and he’s now one of Shirley’s tutors, having worked previously with Fred Astaire in “Flying Down to Rio.” Shirley’s teacher, who was sittnig over in one corner of the room, ended the rehearsal by calling to Shirley that it was time to go to school. She changed into a little blue dress and leaving for the bungalow, shouted over in our direction: “Don’t leave. Wait until I come back. I’ll beat you at another game of ‘squares’.” Tomorrow: Movies and Color.

Walter Hampden Drops Cream Puff to Get Hand / for 'Cyrano de Bergerac' Veteran Actor Scores Pronounced Hit in Farewell Performances of French Poetic-Drama Before Audience at English’s. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Walter Hampden dropped a cream puff on English’s stage Saturday night. It was during the second scene of what is said to have been his last performance here of Rostand's ’ Cyrano de Bergerac.” In order to be alone in Ragueneau’s bakery with his cousin. Roxanne (Katherine Warrent, Cyrano (Mr. Hampden) filled several bags of pastries for her chaperon (Mabel Moore), whom he hustled into the garden.

Chorus Gives Concert Here Westminster Group Sings New Harris Work. Credibly described by John Finley Williamson as “probably the mast difficult choral composition ever written,” Roy Harris’ new work, “A Song for Occupations,” proved to be the most diverting item on Saturday's concert by the Westminster Chorus, under Mr. Williamson’s direction, in Caleb Mills Hall. Walt Whitman’s poem, to which it was set, has much rugged power, very little lyric quality, and the music reflected its character. Mr. Harris has treated the voices orchestrally, often harshly, and the result is novel and interesting. Too much of the work seems to be taken up with a staccato listing of various industries, barked out by the choir, but there are many striking harmonic effects, and some moments of a. more generally accepted type of beauty. Unfortunately, a choral technique suited to “A Song for Occupations,” proved disastrous for Bach and the rest of the concert. It is amazing that as widely heralded a conductor as Mr. Williamson can attain such consistently bad results from talented material. The singing throughout, except for Di Lasso's “The “Echo,” was unvocal, unmusical and unnatural. * We have heard many choirs from “freshwater” colleges essay the Bach motet, “Sing Ye to the Lord.” which opened the concert, but sorry as were some of the attempts, they never reached the low of this performance. The logic of the music’s construction was totally absent. There was no warmth of tone or plasticity of phrase. The singers were physically tense, their voices tight, their rhythm bad, and every tone was exploded rather than sung. The effect was one of meaningless shouting. Shouting Continued This continued from the first number. The effective simplicity of such songs as “Old Man River,” and the Negro spiritual, “Go Down Moses,” were subjected to an amateurish distortion—senseless hurrying of one phrase followed by a sentimental dawdling over the next—usually associated with “barber shop” ensembles. Solos disclosed natively beautiful voices, but inexpertly trained. The entire responsibility of a most disappointing concert must rest upon a director, who has carried America’s musical banner to Europe on two occasions, and who for many years has been one of our most publicized trainers of choirmasters. Past accomplishments only make the local fiasco more complete. It was the acme of bad musicianship. (By J. TANARUS.)

In his haste, Mr. Hampden dropped one of the cream puffs, a “prop” puff, and it resounded throughout the theater. It looked like an awkward moment. Instinctively, Mr. Hampden retrieved the pastry, held it above the sack and debated if he should put in in. Suddenly in it went, along with the clean pastries, and the house roared. \ Almost every one thought it waX an impromptu act. adroitly handled by the veteran actor. But It wasn’t,. He dropped the same puff at the matinee. It’s an old trick and it works every time. Few members of the audience, however, are remembering Mr*. Hampden as a cream puff dropper! The drama has a universal appeal since nearly every one has some detraction which Cyrano’s large nose might represent. The audience liked to feel that Cyrano's was the ideal escape from the prving eves of the world. Not Much to Plot There isn’t much to the plot of "Cyrano,” who. As the idol of his regiment, a kind of seventeenth century Pop-Eye, half clown and half humanitarian, falls in love. The object of his affection, his cousin, Roxanne, is in love with Christian De Neuvillette, a cadet in Cyranos company. Cyrano promises Roxanne to look after her lover. He writes Christian s love letters and even stands behind him in the darkness and talks to Roxanne Asa final gesture he keeps the Compte de Guishe. also in love with Roxanne, waiting in a courtyard while Christian and Roxanne are married. Christian is mortally wounded in a battle and dies in Roxanne’s arms Cyrano visits her daily, but doesn’t tell her of his love. One day a lackey drops a. log on Cyrano’s head and he realizes his time has come. Goes Through Agonies f Staggering to a nunnery to ipp Roxanne, the old soldier-poet goes through the agonies of his final moments. He tries to keep up a bold front, but reveals that it was he who wrote the letters. Roxanne is beside herself over the discovery Cyrano goes into a delirium, in which he fights such swordsmen as Pride, Doubt and his conqueror. Death. After much struggling he dies. Brian Hooker’s translation of the French version of Cyrano is a gieater play than the original. In no other poetic drama, including Shakespeare, does one feel so completely enraptured by the mere sound of syllables and the ringing music of beautifully composed rhymes. Aided by a large and partially talented company, Mr. Hampden has come to symbolize Cyrano in America. Although some have said this year’s performance was not as polished and not as well acted as some, it was with a great deal of regret that most of us savfr Cyrano's white plume for the last time.
