Cramer Presents Varied, Notable Piano Recital; Mordkin Ballet Praised

Troupe Recaptures Fire That Marked 1911

Performances.

Indianapolis Artist Again Proves His Gift of Protean Talent.

By SEXSON E. HUMPHREYS

Mikhail Mordkin, Pavlova’s dancing partner and the Tsar’s ballet master, is a ballet teacher today.

By JAMES THRASHER

It . is a happy coincidence that Bomar Cramer, an Indianapolis resident, also happens to be one of our foremost American-born pianists. It is also fortunate that his public appearances are more than just an occasion for proud friends and fel-low-townsmen to turn out and applaud. Mr. Cramer’s annual recital at English’s usually is one of the music season's memorable events. Yesterday afternoon’s performance

tinent in 1911. Now the stars are American but the emotional fire that made the 1911 performance famous remains. { The premier danseur is Leon Varkas, born in America, who won his acclaim in Soviet Russia. He brought to the Murat stage the same mas= culinity that characterized the master Mordkin. The prima ballerina is Patricia Bowman, graduate of Radio City Music Hall, making her first tour this year. She was born in Washington, and took her first dancing lessons to improve her health. Formerly a partner of Leonide Massine, she brought to Pavlova’s role a technique almost without flaw and an emotion of careful restraint. Americans Aplenty America, said Lawrence Gilman of the New York Herald-Tribune, has the responsibility of preserving European arts oppressed under nationalistic dictatorships. The large number of Americans in Mr. Mordkin’s ballet is evidence that through the influence of Tsarist ballet masters who have emigrated here America is fulfilling its responsibility toward the ballet. It may be a commentary on American civilization that so essentially an artificial art should begin to take root and find favor. Mr. Mordkin himself dances the role of the fisherman in- Alexandre Pushkin’s “The Goldfish.” The springy step of youth is gone from his portrayal of the richly human role but not the consummate rhythm and artistry of direction and interpretation. “The Goldfish” celebrates the Pushkin centennial, telling the familiar story of the fisherman who caught a goldfish that promised any reward to be returned to the sea and of the greedy wife who asked constantly more and more until she had become a queen on land but who was sent back to the fisherman’s cottage when she asked for the sea as well. Dances Delicately Miss - Bowman delicately dances the title role and her nervous mimicry makes her almost a goldfish, beautiful, fragile and frightened. Lucia Chase, another thoroughly

ployed his talents along a wide and varied musical front. His program included the three Bs in its first half: Bach’s English Suite: in E. Minor; the Intermezzo, Opus 76 No. 6, and the Capriccio, Opus 116 No. 7, by Brahms, and Beethoven's Sonata in C Minor, Opus 111. The second part was given over to eight pieces by Debussy. The first four: “Masks,” two Etudes, «For Contrasting Sonoroties” and «For the Five Fingers” (after Czerny); and a posthumous work called “From a Book of Reminiscence,” apparently were given their first Indianapolis hearing in public recital. The remaining compositions were “The Hills of Anacapri,” «Epigraphes Antiques” (For the Egyptian; For Giving Thanks to the Morning Rain), and “The Isle of Joy.” His Is Protean Talent It seems that I have described Mr. Cramer’s talent as protean once before, but it remains as. fitting a description as any. He has the gift, a not too common one, of quickly changing his musical costume, of suiting his mood and playing to the composition’s style, period and emotional content. This gift was evident yesterday in the divergent demands of Beethoven and Debussy. He probed deep into the introspection and personal struggle of the one, and served the other's colorful, pictorial music with equal skill, : Of course the mighty peak of Beethoven dominated the scene. This last of the 32 sonatas is notoriously taxing in all respects. Its demands upon the fingers are enough to make a pianist quail. Its demands upon the interpreter’s understanding, concentration and power of communicating emotion are sterner. From the opening’s stormy dissonance on through to the transcendent peace of the last variation, each phrase requires eloquent understanding. And each phrase must fit into the whole vast picture of struggle and conquest.

Pianist’s Work Never Done

It is difficult to analyze the performance of a work whose idea seems to go beyond the tonal limits of its expression. For this reason, too, the pianist’s work is never done. It seems that Mr. Cramer now has a firmer grasp of the subject, though comparison with a performance three or four years ago is risky. Certainly he played the sonata in a revealing, inspiring manner, and that is as much as one need say—unless it would be to add that he never needed to descend from a high plane of thought for obvious grappling with troublesome notes. Mr. Cramer’s sense of color and drama always have been to his advantage in playing Debussy. He is particularly fitted to show us the French impressionist’s more robust side, as in “The Hills of Anacapri,” “The Isle of Joy” and the new “Masks,” which is of a gay, carnivall spirit, full of - the thumping tambourine rhythms which the composer seemed to dote upon. The Etudes seemed less effective, though the first had its moments of depth and beauty. Debussy was less at home in dealing with abstract musical ideas. So even his five-finger etude turned out to be a jibe at Czerny’s keyboard calisthenics.

‘Light Touch,, Limpid Tone’

Mr. Cramer played the opening Bach Suite pianistically — and played it with all the repeats. He did not try to make the instrument sound like a harpsichord, but he employed a light touch and limpid tone admirably suited to the music.| It seemed to this listener, though, that some of the repetitions could have been omitted with good effect. In the PRrahms selections the playing was in true Erahmsian manner, and a delight to the ear. As encores Mr. Cramer added Rachmaninoff’s transcription of the Minuet from Bizet’'s “L’Arlesienne” Suite and Debussy’s “General Lavine, Eccentric.” co T & good-sized audience cheered loud and long; the listeners were standing in‘ the aisle and still applauding after the recitalist’s final bow. There was even some audible and enthusiastic foot-stamping from the upper regions at the program’s close.

tious wife. She brings to the ballet not only a grace of limb but a genius of acting that keeps her facial expression changing in colorful cadence even when she is sitting still im the background of other dancing. The third ballerina, Nina Stroganova, the first soloist, ’teen-age Karen Conrad, and Dimitri Ramanoff, find opportunities to demonstrate their virtuosity in the variations of the fifth scene of “The Goldfish.” Quite in contrast to the rich comedy of “The Goldfish” is the tragedy of innocent young love ih “Giselle.” For some reason, one is reminded of “Lucia di Lammermoor” though Miss Bowman’s mad seene is much more delicate and restrained than any coloratura’s Lucia, just as her reincarnation as a fairy is much more beautiful than the cemetery scene of Donizetti's opera. Based on Heine Legend Mpyrtha, queen of the Willis, spirits of those girls who die of unrequited love and who then seek to dance young men to death, is Miss Stroganova. Hans, the gamekeeper who loses Giselle's love is danced by Mr. Romanoff. “Giselle” is based on the Heinrich Heine legend of a Silesian peasant girl who fell in impossible love with a nobleman and went insane when she discovered his nobility. Even as in equally artificial opera, he dies on her tomb after .dancing with her spirit. The setting and costumes of both ballets was by Serge Soudeikine of the Metropolitan Opera, perhaps another reason cone thought of opera. The musical director, Mois Zlatin, also has a background of opera, having directed in Moscow and Sofia and having toured America with Deems’ Taylor's ‘““The King’s Henchman” some few years ayo.

Ann Asks Court Permit for Trip

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 7 (U. P).—— Ann Harding, stage and screen actress, today petitioned the Superior Court for permission to take her daughter, Jane Bannister, 10, to Baltimore for five months. . Miss Harding said she sought the Court’s permission to make the move so that she might be near her husband, Werner Janssen, conductor of the Baltimore Symphony®MOrchetra. Under provisions of the Court order giving Miss Harding custody of her daughter, she must have Court approval to take the girl from its jurisdiction. The case was assigned for hearing Nov. 14.

Saul Bernat, a member of tfe Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra's violin section, took up his violin Saturday night to give a recital in the D. A. R. Auditorium. The small concert hall was filled comfortably. Kreisler’s Praeludium and Allegro (which Mr. Bernat still ascribed to “Pugnani-Kreisler,” though the latter confessed complete authorship some years ago) opened the program. Mr. Bernat then brought forth a Chaconne of his own composition. Its broad theme, compact construction and real variety of variation are commendable. It is evident that the composer is conversant with that monumental example of the chaconne form by Bach, and there couldn’t be a better model to follow. The best playing came in the Bruch G Minor Concerto which followed. Mr. Bernat delivered its first and third movements with breadth and bravura, and his tone issued forth richly in the Adagio. A concluding group of familiar pieces included Hubay’s “Hejre Katy”; the Andante movement of Lalo’s “Symphonie Espagnole”; the "Phbaud transcription of Rhode’s «Minuet Caprice”; the Schubert «ava Maria,” and Ries’ “Perpetuum Re Sy on ith Olivia de with Mrs. Bernat at the piano “Ha Get.” with Olivia de plete musical and domestic har-| Py DET. 758 and 10:30

(Indianapolis will be renewing its musical acquaintance with Jascha Heifetz when he comes to English’s next ‘Sunday for a recital on the Martens Concerts course. - Meanwhile, you may check up on the famous violinist’'s movie career and some of his extracurricular activities, as set forth by Mr. Harrison.)

ifetz’ Hobby;

I have ever seen at a Hollywood party described as a “tea.” And as for Mr. Heifetz, the great violinist must have played

orchestra. He was not merely being entertaining, but was at work fulfilling his contract with Goldwyn. The producer and musician spent months discussing and rejecting stories. First Mr. Heifetz was to have appeared in “The Great Music Festival.” “Golden Boy” was mentioned. Also announced was “The Exile,” which was to have been a commentary on Naziland’s purge of genius. But the international situation was too forbidding, and, besides, Mr. Heifetz wanted to be himself on the screen.

Always the Maestro

So, for 14 days, the studio filmed and recorded a great deal of Mr. Heifetz’ playing. He'll do eight selections, four with complete orchestra. There'll be long shots, middle shots, close-ups, and angle shots, but all including the maestro and his fiddle. Part of this footage will be included in a picture titled “The Restless Age,” and scheduled for December production. Anyway, Mr. Goldwyn will have the film—and the problem of making use of it somewhere. Mr. Heifetz never wanted to be an actor. And, unlike some other great musicians—Stokowski, for example —he does not try to dramatize himself. Who knows that his musical hobby is playing the accordion? Or that he plays what Paramount's musical director, Borros Morros, describes as “a good, hot piano”? Or that he’s writing a book about economic and social problems? Or that he cannot insure his priceless hands because he continues to

endanger them in the blocks and winches of sailing boats?

A Practical Musician

Traveling as much as he does, and meeting prominent people, Mr. Heifetz thinks a lot and listens a lot, and is writing a book about his conclusions. Musicians aren’t supposed to be so practical, but this one is. He hasn’t a final title, he told me, but the gist of his book will be “What's Wrong and How to Remedy It.” While the violinist lives at his beach home here and happily sails and fishes, his manager is constantly jittery for the safety of Mr. Heifetz’ left hand. It’s pretty easy to get a broken or mangled finger around boats and docks and he refuses to wear gloves while handling sailing gear. One day this summer he hooked, fought. and landed a big marlin, and strained his hands so that he couldn't play a violin for two weeks. Borros Morros says Mr. Heifetz is an accomplished accordionist, ‘but only for fun. At anchor the other day near the yacht landing, he was hailed by a neighboring mariner with an accordion who said to come on over and play the bass while he played the treble and they’d have some hot harmony. The fiddler went, and spent a pleasant hour without ever identifying himself. The host showed him how to place his fingers on the keys, and pretty soon they were wheezing away at such vintage tunes as “Let Me Call You Sweetheart.” At parting, the man declared that Mr. Heifetz seemed to have a lot of talent and really ought to study music.

FOREST FIRES

M w

Simmons Cites Safeguards, Gives ‘Don’t’ List For Hunters.

Virgil M. Simmons, State Conservation Commissioner, today called upon the public to exert increased vigilance against forest fires, which have swept through 20,000 acres of southern Indiana timberlands in the last four weeks. Although all forest fires reported Friday now are extinguished and no new ones were reported over the weekend, forest men pointed out that unless more rains come soon, the grass and leaves will be like tinder again and dangerous. Meanwhile, standby crews were maintained at the 20 fire towers. Burning brush and tossing away lighted tobacco were cited by the Commissioner as chief causes of these fires. Dry Weather Dangerous “Dry weather and high winds,” he said, “have combined to make conditions unusually serious in all wooded sections of the State. “Estimates on the value of the timber destroyed run into the thousands of dollars, to which must be added the loss of erosion and removal of wildlife food and cover which resulted from these fires,” he said. Hoosier sportsmen, awaiting opening of the hunting season Thursday, also were cautioned to guard against further outbreaks of forest fires in areas. where leaves, grass and other vegetation is dry.

Hunters’ “Don’ts” Given

Mr. Simmons urged that hunters take particular care to see that matches and tobacco are extinguished before throwing them away,

and to locate campfires where they can not ignite surrounding brush. At the same time, the commissioner laid down the following “don’ts” for Hoosier hunters: 1. Don’t point a gun at anything you don’t intend to Kill. 2. Don’t pull a loaded gun, muz-zle-first, through a fence. 3. Don’t load a gun until you are ready to start hunting. 4. Don't place a loaded gun in a car or on the bottom of a boat. 5. Don’t lean a loaded gun against a tree or fence. : 6. Don’t shoot in the vicinity of houses, buildings or other places where persons may be working. This

applies especially to WPA -and CCC

projects. 7. Don't neglect to obtain prompt medical attention for gunshot wounds or to take proper precautions against infections from scratches or cuts.
