Joy Hodges Makes Name For Herself on Broadway.
In “Merry-Go-Round of 1938,”
which comes to the Indiana tomor- | have a look at a|
row, you may young lady of whom you are very
likely to hear more as time goes on. |
Her name is Joy Hodges.
The name probably isn’t familiar. |
Until recently she was singing with radio dance bands. She had worked for Ted Fio Rito, Ozzie Nelson and others, and she had been on Joe Penner’s radio hour. Then she was chosen for the ingenue role in “I'd Rather Be Right.” | This, as everyone is learning, the new George S. Kaufman-Moss Hart comedy lampoon at the New Deal which stars George M. Cohan. It recently opened in New York, and is going to stay there for some time. Performances are sold out until well past the new year. Miss Hodges has | received good notices for her work. And very likely, by the time she finishes het stint on Broadway there will be more movie jobs awaiting | her, |
is
Wasn't Famous Then However, it wasn't a famous Joy Hodges who made the coming In-| diana picture. In fact, she was] nearly snowed under by the stellar array of comedians in the same pic- | ture. Looking over the cast, one
finds that the “living theater” and radio won over the movies by a| score of 6 to 4 in supplying the picture's featured players. he four-star comedy combina-| tion is made up of Bert Lahr, Jimmie Savo, Billy House and Mischa Auer. The first three are veterans of vaudeville and musical comedy. MM: House should be remembered | particularly well here for his many and recent vaudeville appearances. | Another local favorite is Dave Apollon, who has a prominent spot in the proceedings. Alice Brady. whose chief laurels were gained on the] stage, joins Miss Hodges to make | up the winning team. The simon-pure filmsters who join | Mr. Auer are John Hall, Barbara | Read and Louise Fazenda, all of whom were seen most (recently in “The Road Back.” Mr. Auer and Miss Brady. also were here not long ago in “100 Men and a Girl.”

Train Schedule Rachmaninoff to Begin On Time.
By JAMES THRASHER
At Bloomington last evening, Sergei Rachmaninoff triumphed over the exigent demands of a piano recital and the inexorability of a train schedule in 75 minutes flat.
It was the pianist-composer’s first appearance on the Indiana University campus, and he was greeted by a large audience which grew larger between each number preceding the intermission. For Mr. Rachmaninoff started promptly at the scheduled time, which is contrary to the cus- | toms of virtuosity. The occasion was not a. wholly | happy one. In the first place, the University’s gymnasium is not an | acoustically ideal place for a piano [ recital. Secondly, the artist seemed la trifle annoyed at the late-comers. | And, most important of all, he did | no* play the program which he had given out to the press earlier. Only the opening pieces—Liszt's sentlmental variations on the Bach chorale, “Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Sagen,” and the Italian Concerto of Bach—and the Chopin C. Sharp Minor Scherzo were retained.
Makes Substitutions
In place of the scheduled Beethoven sonata, Mr. Rachmaninotf added three Chopin compositions, the FF Major Nocturne, a mazurka and the Impromptu in A Flat. For the four Rachmaninoff preludes, he substituted Debussy’s Suite Bergamesque and his own abused Prelude In C Sharp Minor. And the| program closed with two equally | well-worn Liszt etudes, the “Waldesrauschen” and “Gnomenreigen.” For |yet another Lisztian touch, there | | was added the Abbe’s transcription {of Schubert's song, * ‘Das Wandern,” | as an encore. | With such a program, all Mr. | Rachmaninoff’s .interpretative skill was needed to save the day. This, | needless to say, was present. So was | his arresting technical skill, though | more than a few notes did fall by the wayside as time marched on. By far the best playing of the evening was heard in the Italian Concerto. The Andante, which has ft-)
