Lambs Club Program To Feature Old Songs By ‘Singing Valentines’

‘Goodnight Please’ and ‘Farewell to Love’ Provide Hilarious Evening for Players Group At Civic Theater.

By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON The Lambs Valentine Vanities presages an evening dripping with sentiment—lavender and old lacy ballads crooned by sweetly shy damsels and courtly swains. Anticipation of the revue at the Columbia Club tonight along with amusing memories of last night's Players Club show makes a bit of pleasant thinking for the day. The Vanities program which includes songs by the company and all the Lambs and specialty numbers by the “Lambs Singing Valentines” is to be presented by a committee composed of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ferriday Jr., chairmen; Mr. and Mrs. Kurt F. Pantzer, Mr. and Mrs. James S. Rogan and Mrs. G. B. Jackson, accompanist. “Singing Valentines” whose saccharine ballads are guaranteed to wring a tear from every eye are to be Mr. and Mrs. William Frederick Souder, Mr. and Mrs. Charles R. Weiss, Mr. and Mrs. Pantzer, Mrs. C. C. Robinson and Robert D. Robinson and Mrs. Abbott L. Johnson II and William H. Ball, Muncie. Included in the company in addition to the committee and specialty artists are Messrs. and Mesdames Albert J. Beveridge Jr, Donald M. Mattison, F. Noble Ropkey, Rudolph Stempfel, Frank H. Throop and Mrs. Arthur G. Loftin, Miss Betty Lee and Messrs, William Garvin Bastian and Paul G. Starrett.

After Robert Frost Daggett’s hilarious performance in James L. Daggett’s play, “Goodnight Please,” at the Players Club, everyone agreed that the younger Mr. Daggett must have had his father in mind when he wrote the part. Others in the cast were Austin V. Clifford, the psychoanalyst with a “dipsomaniac in Michigan” to his credit; Raymond D. Jackson, who begged the question of staying in bed for a week; Mrs. Charles M. Wells, the irrepressible cook; Mrs, Clifford, the harassed wife, and Mrs. Wilbur D. Peal, the appealing daughter. Mrs. Raymond ¥. Mead and Jack E. Harding, two of the Players’ most popular performers, superbly temperamental stage stars in the leading roles of “Farewell to Love.” The plays, given in the Civic Theater, were directed by Richard Hoover. 2 » n # » = and Mrs. James H.

Brahms Is Topic Of Talk on Music

Brahms is a “best seller” in Enge lish speaking countries but the Latins will have none of him, Mrs. Lenore Coffin told members of the Indiana State Symphony Society Women’s Committee and guests at the preconcert lecture yesterday afternoon in the Athenaeum. Mrs. Coffin, assisted by Thomas Wright at the piano, discussed the program of the sixth pair of concerts being conducted by Ferdinand Schaefer, Symphony founder and conductor emeritus. Brahms Symphony No. 2 in D, Major, Op. 73, which is the composer’s second symphony, is pastoral and idyllic with a keynote of joyous ness, she asserted. “It is probably the most genial and popular of Brahms’ four symphonies because of its wealth of lyricism.” The first theme of Liszt's brilliant Piano Concerto in E Flat Major which Frank Sheridan, guest artist, is playing this week was written te display the composer's virtuosity, The composition has been nick= named “The Triangle Concerto” be« cause of the unusual prominence of the triangle in the third move ment, she said. Humperdinck's Overture to “Hansel and Gretel” is quite familiar since the Ford Symphony hour has taken its theme song from the

'| Prayer, she added. One hundred
