MRS. SCHOFIELD'S WORK APPLAUDED IN CIVIC'S 'POST ROAD'

Comedy Situations Played by Character Actress Are Funniest of Presentation Cast. Setting Win High Mention, But Melodrama of Modern Crime Falls Short of Standard Upheld at Playhouse This Season. BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Elizabeth Bcgert. Schofield, veteran Civic Theater character actress, sets anew mark for herseli in the Civics current offering, ‘ Post Road." a melodramatic comedy about, modern crime on the famous old highway. The entire action revolves about Emily Madison, an old maid who lives with her sister, May Madison Preble, and her sister's husband, George, in a discolored mansion that obviously has seen better days. To keep up the place, the sisters take in transients. One of their suspiciously consistent boarders is the ‘•Rev." Wesley Cartwright, a loud-voiced clergyman with an unworldly idealism.

On a rainy evening a rain-spat-tered young man bounds into the home, announces he is Dr. Spender, wants a room for hi.s patient, whom he claims is too sick to make it to the next town. With him also is a nurse, Miss Martin. Emily takes them In, gives them the room in which her grandmother died. After screams are heard from the closed room. Dr. Spender reveals a baby boy just has been born. Drops Ministerial Manner Dr. Spender engages all the rooms in the house, in order, he says, that his patient, may have complete quiet. A week later, the patient, a young and attractive girl, attempts to get out of the house, but is stopped by thp nurse. Dr. Spender and a very tough looking chauffeur. Suddenly, "Dr." Cartwright drops his ministerial manner of speech and reveals he is capable of using strong language. The audience is allowed to further its suspicions when George, a radio fan. gets police calls concerning a kidnaping of an infant. State police force their way into the room in which the baby has been kept. Out walks Emily with the baby in her arms, insisting she is the mother of the child, that the “Rev.” Cartwright is her partner in sin. It eventually is revealed that the kidnapers had substituted a doll for the baby a week before the crime was committed and it is quick thinking on the part of Emily which brings a happy ending to an exciting climax in which the criminals are apprehended and the real baby is saved. Cast Performs Well Mrs. Schofield's characterization is carried nut excellently. Her comedy situations are the funniest of the play. Blayne McCurry does his best, acting at the Civic as the frocked Mr. Cartwright, C. C. Robinson is fairly convincing as the Dr. Spender, and Mary Bogert, Mrs. Schofield's mother, appears briefly and splendidly as one of the neighbors who pries into the strange affairs of the Madison household. Although Director Frederick Burleigh's setting for the play is among his best, the production is not quite up to the standard of this season’s product. This is partly the fault of the play. The last regular play of this year. "Accent on Youth,” is to be presented at the playhouse April 18. "Post Road" is to be seen tonight, tomorrow and Wednesday nights.

Church Organ Is Dedicated Cincinnati Organist Plays at St. John’s, For the musical portion of the services that dedicated the new pipe organ at St. John's Catholic Church last night, J. Alfred Schehl. Cincinnati organist, was presented as guest soloist. Elmer Andrew Steffen, who arranged the program, directed a chorus of choir members of Sacred Heart and St. John's Churches, SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral and the Indianapolis ClergyChoir. Os chief interest were three of Mr. Schehl's choral preludes on "Deck Thyself, My Soul.” "Ah. Holy Jesus” and "Praise to the Lord.” ail written in the style of Bach: and an arrangement of the Easter hymn. “O Filii et, Filiae." by Sister Cecelia Clare Bocard. of Saint-Mary-of-the-Woods. ind. The latter, though brief, was well constructed, of logical and musicianly development, and displayed a knowledge of the instrument's resources. Other organ solos included Boellman's “Suite Gothique,” the Schubert "Ave Maria,” "In Paradisum" by Dubois, Bach's D Minor Toccata and Fugue. L he Adagio from the Franck A Minor Chorale and “Hymn Thanksgiving” by Turner. The more pretentious numbers were played with many technical blemishes. Mr. Steffen chose tha stirring chorus. "Tu Es Petrus,” from Liszt’s seldom-heard oratorio. "Christus,” as the choral part of the program. The singers, accompanied by a choir of trumpets and the organ, gave a magnificent performance.

GARBO THE MYSTERIOUS Her True Story By ELISABETH VON CAUB

CHAPTER X (Continued* She showed an uncanny remembrance for people's preferences, and those who were lucky enough to receive flowers from her felt their resentment at any neglect vanish by magic when they noticed how minutely she had studied taste in her sel'ction. Naturally, there was a good deal of tongue-wagging over Greta's changed behavior. Mir:.i Pollack struggling along in a not-very-im-portant position at one c f the less fashionable theaters, was badgered day and night by inquisitive reporters. Karin Mollander would shrug her shoulders when Greta’s name was mentioned. What surprised the gossips most, however, was that they no longer saw Greta going about with her former idol, Naima Wifstrand. There can be no doubt that Greta was far from well when she arrived in Stockholm. Her nerves were in a bad state. The whole atmosphere of Stockholm, too. was not exactly calculated to raise the depressed spirits of one -who had known it in far happier times. Only a few months had elapsed since the Krueger crash, and the Swedes, who took this business personally, were still bowed under the shame* which, they imagined, had lowered Swedish prestige all over the world. Saddest of all, death once again had robbed her of one of her closest friends. Marta Halden had survived Stiller little more than a year. tt tt a IT soon become evident that, if Greta was to avoid a complete breakdown, she would have to retire to some quiet country retreat and recover her shattered nerves away from the noise and annoyance of the city. Greta Garbo never has had a home of her own. She shares to some extent that indifference to the unnecessary frills of civilization common to most intense artistic natures. So when she decided to spend the summer of 1932 in Sweden, Sven Gustafsson started looking round for a suitable home for her. Eventually he found an ideal spot o v i the island of Ingaro. The house, named Botorp, after its owner, was designed by an eminent young architect. Hjort, who had gained a great reputation as a builder of country houses. All Hjort's genius in country house construction was lavished on this pretty little yellow mansion, half-overgrown with vines and nastrui'tiums. It, stands upon the southern slope of a hill, facing the sea. Behind it are age-old forests of oak and pine. The little waves of the Yungfrusund or "Maiden's Fiord” lap, the foot of the hill below?. The whole ground floor of the house is occupied by one large room. Glass partitions divide it up into drawing room, dining room and small sitting room. Handwoven Swedish rugs of colorful design lie spread upon the parquet floor, and the furniture is a mixture of modern comfort and "period” line. Greta herself chose the principal bedroom, which faces south, and has a long window? leading on to the balcony overlooking the sea. Here she loved to spend long, lazy hours after her morning dip. With the morning coffee and the inevitable cakes beside her, and lots of magazines, and a couple of cats, of which she is inordinately fond, playing about her chair, she felt content and comparatively happy. tt tt tt FEW guests were permitted to share the privacy of Botorp w?ith its new mistress. It became, for the time being, the family headquarters. Sven and Peggy motored Fru Gustafsson over. They insisted on her taking the beat guest, room, and for the first time in her life the old lady found herself being waited upon, whether she w?ould or noi The family party was completed by Sven and Peggy's baby daughter, named Anna Margaretta, after her grandmother and her famous aunt but familiarly abbreviated to "An-na-Greta.” Her habits soon became known to the public—and once again her troubles started. The people would leave her no peace. Newspaper reporters. inquisitive tourists, autograph hunters and the rest discovered her retreat and used the most fiendish ingenuity to trap her into meeting their demands. She gave up swimming and rowing when she found that even in the water she could secure no privacy. Her shattered nerves, which she had hoped the peace of the countryside would restore, suffered more than ever from these perpetual shocks. The extraordinary measures she was obliged to dike to enforce discretion, even among her nearest relatives, reduced the whole household to a nerve-racking state, and once more she had to solve her problem by resorting to flight. tt n n FOR a woman anxious to hide her identity in public, Greta Garbo shows singularly little resource.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

——™—————— 'jk - r Jf| i n*

Mary and her little lamb were never more inseparable than Greta Garbo and the news photographers. At the right, she strives to ignore a cameraman in Central Park, New York. In London she sought to hide behind dark glasses and a turned-up coat collar. In Paris a journalist went to law after she declined to receive him.

To begin with, she makes herself conspicuous rather than the. reverse by the clothes she wears. Stockholm “stall-ites,” except on gala nights, are not so punctilious about dress that failure to wear an evening gown makes a great deal of difference. Yet, even in these informally dressed crowds, a mannish tweed skirt, slit, trouser-fashion, almost to the waist, and accompanied by a woolen polo jumper, does seem just a little out of place. With fixed perversity, Greta refused to make any change from her normal morning attire when she spent the evening at a theater. The most effective disguise Greta adopted during her last visit to Sweden was when she bought a hat a size or two larger than she required, and tucked all her long, blond hair away inside the crown. This really did make her almost unrecognizable. Her attempt to lead a perfectly natural life in Stockholm, and to move about freely at will, led to unpleasant incidents. One day she called at her old firm. Bergstrom's, to buy a few things. Instantly a crowd collected, and the only means of extricating her from the mob was to smuggle her as quickly as possible to a taxi. All these nerve-shattering experiences had a very bad effect upon her; her health again began to suffer. Medical advice was called in, and the doctors said her only hope of recovery lay in going abroad to some quiet place. After a good deal of debate with her family and friends, Greta decided on the Island of Majorca. This seemed to offer all the climatic conditions the doctors stipulated, and not being tourist-ridden, like so many Riviera resorts, it promised her a certain measure of privacy. She looked forward to the journey, and the opportunity it would give her of visiting many places she had never seen before. Chapter XI GRETA AND ROYALTY TO make the most of her trip to Majorca. Greta chose a route via London and Paris, neither of which she had ever previously visited. In London she stayed at a certain hotel. Greta made assurance doubly sure by wearing a dark wig and spectacles, as usual on such trips. But it is an undoubted fact that she overdid the disguise. Attention was involuntarily attracted to this slim, striding girl who seemed so anxious to hide herself. The hotel servants were first to suspect. Then the newspapers somehow got hold of the story. A wild chase commenced. One paper published a definite statement that Greta and her woman friend had attended a performance of “The Merry Widow” the previous night, and spent a jolly time afterward with Carl Brisson in his dressing room. The newspaper reporters turned to

posed interest of Greta Garbo in her old friend Carl! The truth is, however, that she never once saw Carl Brisson personally during the whole of her visit to London. She did attend a performance of The Merry Widow” at the Hippodrome, but only as an ordinary member of the paying public. By

Frances Benner Gives Finished Performance in 'Meistersinger' Indianapolis Artist Appears as Magdalena in Wagner Opera With Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. There is a natural desire to see a “local girl make good” which increased Indianapolis attendan.ee at the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra's production of Wagner’s "Die Meistersinger” Friday and Saturday. But civic pride has no place in the conviction that Frances Benner’s portrayal of Magdalena was a success. Stepping from the opera class of Robert Korst, the opera's stage director, this former Indianapolis student gave a debut performance of professional caliber.

Magdalena, Eva’s nurse, is one of the most vital characters in this music-drama, although her appearances are brief. Miss Benner made the most of the part. Her singing was marked by beauty and clarity of tone, aa parent even though Wagner * the character no sustained flk of song. Miss Benner's voice is admirably suited to opera, possessing ample power and "point” to project diction, color and musical characterization over the fullness of the Wagenrian orchestra. Dramatically, she showed poise and freedom in the “business” assigned her. Her portrayal contributed much to a production as free from the conventional operatic posturing as we ever have seen. Predictions are precarious, but Miss Benner seems started on the right road. Romance in Capable Hands The romance with Eva and the delivery of the familiar and taxing "Prize Song," assigned to Walther, were in the capable hands of Frederick Jagel, who was borrowed from the Metropolitan. The tenor was in glorious voice Saturday night. Vocaly, his was the best performance we heard in the Cincinnati season. The other requisites of the role were excellently taken care of. too. Despite the "love interest,” "Die Meistersinger's" hero is Hans Sachs, sung on this occasion by the British newcomer. Arthur Fear. It was a happy selection, for Mr. Fear as the poet-cobbler, was a handsome, dignified figure, full of wisdom, tolerance, quiet good humor and un-

the time the press got to hear of this, and started to associate the visit, with Carl Brisson, she was already safely in Paris. tt a tt TN Paris, Gretas efforts to hide herself were not .so successful. The French press would leave her no peace. Having tracked her to her quiet hotel in the Fauburg St. Honore, the interviewers proceeded to demonstrate that they had not yet learned to believe that Greta Garbo's "no" means a definite refusal. The hotel proprietor had given his word of honor that no one should molest her. But one reporter made his way up the back stairs and. without any opposition, safely reached Greta's room. Then the whole hotel went mad. The proprietor rushed up. the staff was mobilized, the police summoned. They dragged the unfortunate journalist down the stairs and carried him before a magistrate. The magistrate, using his discretion, dismissed the case. By this time the hunted film star had lost all taste for further traveling. There followed a hectic journey across Denmark; another precipitate flight and an escape by taxi with reporters in pursuit. Greta was glad to get back to the comparative quietness of Sweden. Once more Tistad became her refuge. it tt tt TT falls to the lot- of few famous actresses to become the darling of royalty, though there have been cases of notable friendships between artists and princes, based on mutual admiration and respect. But surely no servant of the public has ever so audaciously repulsed the advance of royal patrons as Garbo. No one could describe Garbo as being disrespectful. She is modest, if not meek, and correct in her attitude to those in authority over her. In the studio she submits to the instructions of the director with Brisson. And he, who is always friendly with the press, could not find it in his heart to send them away empty-handed. He would not reveal any secrets, of course, but they might infer what they pleased.

selfish devotion. Wagner made of Sachs, his only truly historical character, a man capable of being admired and sympathized with and loved by all. Mr. Fear’s portrayal voked a warm response from his ■■eners. •i„.ez Gorman was one of the prettiest Evas that could be desired, but her voice, though of pleasing quality and well employed, was not of sufficient size for operatic performance. Only in the quintet at the end of Act II was she fuly audible. We understand that this was also the debut ot Miss Gorman, a Curtis Institute graduate. Minor Roles Well Don** Minor roles were splendidly done, for the most part. Hubert Kochritz as Beckmesser gave a capable comedy portrayal, while Louis John Johnen, as Kothner the baker, provided through his excellent diction, the best excuse for this first presentation of the opera in English. Eugene Goossen's care of detail rewarded the audience with splendid orchestra playing and ensemble. The gay and heart-warming music, so indicative of Wagner’s versatility as well as genius, emerged as a swift-paced, buoyant and colorful entity in the director’s grasp. The effect was heightened by the scenery and lighting, and by Mr. Korst’s handling of the chorus. It was a brilliant and colorful close to a successful season. (Bv J. TANARUS.)

Nelson Eddy Thrills His Listeners in Highlight of Martens Musical Series

English’s Filled to Limit for Performance by Popular Baritone. BY JAMES THRASHER One of the least, excited of a capacity crowd which jammed even? available space at English's yesterday, Nelson Eddy sang a concert that stamped him, first of all. as a sincere and distinguished musician. It is an obviously difficult task for Mr. Eddy to choose a program appealing to all classes of his ardent admirers. Fortunately, however, he chose yesterday’s songs with discrimination, and assembled a list of unquestioned merit. Divested of the glamour which is rightly his. the I singer gave a performance that is one of the highlights of the season’s | Martens concerts, which he brought ; to a close. Mr. Eddy gave a particularly fine performance of his first two groups, consisting of the recitative and aria. "Non piu andrai." from Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro,” and songs by Erich Wolff, Brahms and Strauss. The Mozart (with the recitative really "recited" instead of sung* was given out with swiftly changing light and shade, yet its expressiveness never escaped the characteristic "classic” bounds which distinguish the composer. His Italian diction, like his German, French and English, was perfection. Sung Only By a Few Surprisingly few singers give us Wolff’s "Du Bist, So Jung,” which opened the second group, perhaps because they are waiting for the composer to die to give him hi.s jiist due. It is one of the great iove songs in vocal literature, and Mr. Eddy brought to it a depth of understanding and emotional sincerity. The singer enhanced these and the lollowing two groups with discreet but delightful histrionic touches. Whether or not he learned his acting in Hollywood, he employs it to best advantage. He has a winning "personality.” but becoming dignity to go with it. Following the "Ballad of Adamastor” from Meyerbeer’s "L'Atricaine." I a group of English songs w?as heard: Tschaikowsky's "Pilgrim's Song”; "Route Marchin’” by Stock; Roger Quilter's "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal,” and "Love Went a-Riding," by Frank Bridge. Program builders often fall down in their choice of songs in our ow?n language, but there is no complaint of Mr. Eddy's choice He gave each one a performance of the same artistic forethought that characterized the more pretentious items of the concert. Sings "Ah, Sweet Mystery” If Rachmaninoff's idea of Heaven I is a place where his "C Sharp Minor Prelude" never is played, doubtless | Mr. Eddy's is of a happy realm where no one requests "Ah Sweet Mystery of Life.” But while he lives among us he will have to sing it, as he did yesterday. His encores, in fact, were as numerous as his programmed songs. Removed from the psuedo-prrfrc-tion of the motion picture sound track. Mr. Eddy's voicp is found to be rich in timbre, flexible and. if not of stupendous power, rich in shading. It was marred yesterday only by a. huskiness and forced quality in some parts of the upper register. Sound training and artistic employment of his vocal equipment, always are evident. He has a rightful place among the great American baritones of our day—a singer who, exposed to inordinate popularity, remains a fin musician. The accompanist, apparently destined to an inevitable place in the last paragraph, was Theodore Paxson. Playing without notes and with a thorough understanding of his art, he takes a place with Leopold Mittman, heard two weeks ' ago, as the season’s best. As soloist, Mr. Paxson played Bach's organ , toccata and "Fugue in D Minor,” played in his own transcription rather than that of Tausig. of which the world long since has grown weary. Encores by Lecuona and Debussy supplemented the Bach, and all were played exceptionally well.

Singer Sympathetic When Told Ladywood Girls Missed Concert. BY BEATRICE BURGAN Society Editor Nelson Eddy appreciated the Ladywood School girls' invitation to their Athletic Association tea yesterday afternoon. "Now, I really would like to go out there and sing for them," he replied. Mrs. Samuel Lewis Shank went home with her enthusiasm unappeased. She wanted to hear "Rose Marie.” As Mr. Eddy took his final bows, she called out "Rose Marie.” but her voice faded into the tumult of the applause. Attended With Sister Mrs. Shank came to the concert with her sister. Miss Clara Gilbert., They had motored to Greenfield in ihe morning, "antique hunting.” Mrs. Shank is collecting lion glass and heard that the dealer in the neighboring town had a few pieces. The glass was made when the British cable was being laid. Lions’ heads are molded into the glass for Great. Britain and the cabeled edges represent the construction feat. Mrs. Shank carried a large black patent envelope purse to harmonize with the narrow belt worn with her black dress. Miss Gilbert approves the return of veils, and had her shallow black hat held in place by a swath of veil, tying in a bow? in back. Grateful for Encore Mrs. Perry Lesh was grateful for Mr. Eddy's encore. "Ah, Sweet. Mystery of Life.” one of her favorite songs. Her black off-the-face hat, and the sailor-boy style caracul collar of her coat gave her a col-lege-girl appearance. Her large red patent leather envelope purse brightened her ensemble. Mrs. Russell Fortune Sr., Mr. and Mrs. John Collett, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hoke. Miss Catherine Lapenta, Mrs. Henry C. Atkins Jr.. Mrs. Lafayette Page and George Newton w?erc others who lauded the singer as they left the theater.

Hints on Sleeping Those troubled with insomnia may get some valuable (?) tips from the short subject, "How to Sleep,” now at Loews. This brief film was awarded the. Academy prize for the best comedy of last year and features Robert Benchlpy, dramatic critic and magazine contributor. in a scientific analysis of the ways and means of securing a good night's rest. It’s the funniest short in months. Another of the beauitfully colored Harman-Ising cartoons, this one called “Bottles,” also is at Loew's this week. It contains some of the best coloring yet seen in this type of production. The action takes place in a drug store where Spirits of Ammonia rise to haunt the little Baby Bottles, and a disturbed Pharmacist dreams that he is run through his own test tube apparatus.
