He'll Try To Curtail Twin Bills

Manager of New Theater Thinks One Feature Enough.

It took a daring pioneer to upset movie tradition by inaugurating double features, and it's going to tave an equally courageous person tc bring them to an end. So thinks Carl Niesse, manager of the Ambassador and Alamo Theaters Mr. Niesse, though he might object to the laudatory tives, is the brave soul who is going to re-establish the single feature policy in the new picture house he is building on College Ave. and 63d St Double are queer ers don't ao a great prove this listen to the ence files

Yet they Like Bargains Mr. Niesse has a few explanations of the perplexing problem which he | is going to attempt to solve It’s the women who keep the double feature policy in vogue,” the youthful veteran of the show busi- | ness said “Women are inveterate | bargain hunters, and in amusements they want the most they can get their money. A vote taken recently in St. Louis showed that most of the women in the audience preferred two pictures to one “It is generally conceded that of two features, one of them is bad. In the picture industry they're known ers,’ which is quite an explain itself. Under the present policy, a neighborhood house can run only one complete bill in an evening, though that may last for four hours.” Mr. Niesse hopes that when his new theater opens around March 1, 35-minute “featurettes,” which studios are experimentwill be on the market.

A lot with a 400-car capacity will be situated directly behind the theater. “We'll have the latest thing in sound equipment which, like automobiles, changes from vear to vear,” Mr. Niesse said. “And the building nd furnishings will be in the latest tye.

Pays Tribute: To Kreisler

Violinist's Concert Eases Rumors He Has Lost His Technique.

By JAMES THRASHER For those who could find it in | their hearts to forego our city’s Halloween festivities last evening, | there awaited the quieter pleasure of Fritz Kreisler's playing in Bloom- | ington,

| As the silver-haired artist and

'his faithful compeer of the piano, [Carl Lamson, entered the hall, the | laudience rose and cheered them in

an enthusiastic welcome. It was a | fitting tribute to a man unique in cur century's music. No violinist has endeared himself | to so large a public, for none has | been able to combine the reverent | | and artistic approach to great music | [with the simple vet dignified utter[ance of familiar tunes dear to the | | hearts of musicians and laymen (alike. Since these qualities are | found in every Kreisler recital, such | events remain delightful and Jtreas|ured experiences.

Then came a brilliant per- | [formance of the Tartini-Kreisler | Fugue in A Major. The second group was devoted io the Mendelssohn Concerto. Now | this concerto, like golf, is attempted | by all the duffers, but its worth is | not realized until it comes into the hands of a master. Mr. Kreisler gave | | the thrice-familiar music =a superb | exposition. Disdaining to make of | |it a vehicle for snorting virtuosity, [he chose to emphasize its lyrical qualities. Rather than dazzling us [with speed, he brought a lofty con- | | ception and an unhurried delivery to his interpretation. .
