LATEST HART-KAUFMAN
RISH REVOLUTION FILM
New Tro Troupe To Be Seen At English’s
"You. Can't Take Ht With You' Still Big Hit in New York.
One of the most pleasant surprises of our dramatic season is Vincent Burke’s announcement that the new Moss Hart-George S. Kaufman comedy, “You Can't Take It With You,” is to play a- three-day engagement at English’s, beginning Feb. 4. The news is pleasant be-
cause, according to reliable
Manhattan authorities, the play is a delightful one. And the local engagement is a surprise because the play opened in New York only a month ago and is now sold out 12 weeks in advance at the Booth Theater. Usually the “road” gets a New York hit in the second or third season, or else it is tried out in. the provinces before a metropolitan opening. But here we are to have an item of proven value while it is still “hot.”
Second Company Organized
Mr. Burke tells us that the second company is being organized and rehearsed in New York. It will play its first road engagement in Indianarvlis and move from here to Chicago. As nearly as we can discover, Messrs, Kaufman and Hart have turned their amusingly devastating talents from Broadway, Washington, Hollywood and intervening peints and are taking a cross-section of the human race for a ride. It would appear that the Sycamore family, slightly mad in themselves, have gathered as “screwy” a collection of house guests as ever graced a stage. The dizzy whirl of the plot, besides proving plenty of fun, seems to have thrown out some morsels of good sense which have prompted several New. York critics to find the play a bit potent as well as pleasant.
‘Hedda Gabler’ Due Jan. 26
While we are waiting for “You Can’t Take It With You,” we are to have the opportunity of seeing Mme. Nazimova in another item of her Ibsen repertoire, this time “Hedda Gabler,” for one night only on Jan.
26. Those who saw her at English’s |
last year in “Ghosts” probably will need little urging to see the dis-
tinguished Russian actress in this |
limited engagement. Mme. Nazimova’'s supporting cast will include McKay Morris, Harry Ellerbe (both remembered from last year’s -“Ghosts”), Edward ‘Trevor, Viola . Frayne, Leslie Bingham and Grace Mills. - The choice of “Hedda Gabler” for this year’s vehicle was a selection by the public as well as the star. Mme. Nazimova submitted vprinted ballots to her audiences at the end of the season, and their choice of “Hedda” coincided with her own.
COLLEGE CHOIR TO SING CANTATA
Noble Cain’s cantata, “Christ in ihe World,” is to be sung by the Indiana Central College Choir at 8 p. m. tomorrow in the Broadway Evangelical Church. Mrs. Ethel Gilliatt is the choir’s director and Helen Thomas Martin, accompanist. The performance, which is to be open to the public, is sponsored by the choir of the Broadway Church, of which the Rev. Edward A. Sausamann is pastor.
NEW DIX MOVIE TO BE RELEASED
Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 13.—‘“Devil’s Playground,” Columbia Pictures’ production with Richard Dix, Dolores De! Rio and Chester Morris in the leads, is to have its nationwide release Jan. 17. The story was prepared for the screen by Liam O'Flaherty, Jerome Chodorov and Dalton Trumbo, and was directed by Erle Kenton.
ADRIAN ALSO PAINTS
Although Adrian is known principally as a costume designer, he is equally famous for his serious paintings and drawings. An exhibit of the designer's work will be held in New York and London next season.

Harpis: and Flutist Are Featured as Soloists With Symphony.
By . AMES THRASHER
Deligltful. and digestible music, including a rarely heard concerto performed by two excellent soloists, made up the program for the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s th rd subscription concert at tlie Murat last night,
The e rening’s guest artists
were Milcred Dilling, harpist, and Frances Blaisdell, flutist, the former almost a ‘native daughter,” since she bega i her study with Mrs. Louise Sc aellschmidt Koehne here at the ag: of 11. They presented the Moza t C Major Concerto for Flute and Harp (K 299) with the orchestra under Ferdinand Schaefer’s direct on. This coi certo was no mere stunt of Mozart's in writing for two unusual solo instruments, but a carefully wroight work on which the composer avished his seemingly inexhaustibl: wealth of: melody and invention. There is a brilliant first movement, a charmingly poetic andantino a;id a concluding rondo of infectious 200d humor. . The beaiity of the soloists’ playing matched t ieir contrasting blond and brunet loveliness. Miss Dilling, of course, is an artist par’ excellence, and Miss Blaisdell likewise is master of her instrument. Both played with a breadth of style and a reverent consideration of the character and intention of the music at hand. An enthusiastic and insistent ca‘pacity audience brought each soloist back for @#n encore as well ‘as many

bows. The length of the ovation prompted Mr. Schaefer to omit a Boccherini Minuet and Schumann’s “Abendlied” from the ensuing numbers.
Consequently we ‘heard the Beethoven Fourth Symphony, which opened the program, the second “L’Arlesienne’” Suite of Bizet and the Overture to Wagner's “The Flying Dutchman” as the orchestra’s contribution The symphony, too often omitted by program builders, was done cap-
ably, but with a deficiency of the|-
emotional warmth which is music’s life blood. Bizet’s expressive, colorful and musicianly suite called forth real virtuoso playing. Well-knit and fullbodied was the dramatic overture which brought the evening to a stirring close:

Myrna Loy and Husband Still Hope for Wedding Trip.
By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 13.—A sad state of affairs existed today in the household of Myrna Loy and Arthur Horhblow Jr., her husband— they can’t find time for a wedding trip. The actress mairied Producer Hornblow months ago at Ensenada, Mexico, but both have been £0 busy at their studios that all trips were canceled. For a time they considered going to Europe, but war clouds caused the trip to lose its appeal. Next they considered a voyage to Hawaii but the Pacific Coast maritime strike intervened. At present they are considering an inland trip as soon as studio schedules can be arranged.
