Sometimes it’s great fun to be a movie star. When, for fustatice, you can got Hig pay ; envelopes. wear lovely clothes or steal a converted Model T and ride the rails to a faretheewell.. The latter luxury. is what intrigued Olivia De Havilland while she was on location with the “Dodge City” (Warner's) company near’ Modesto, Cal. Olivia is costarred in the film with Errol Flynn. She might well have. been the first woman to operate this quaint version of the old “pump” car. It belongs to the Sierra Nevada Railway, uses gaseline and except for its odd Wheels, isn’t: much different from any other old Ford,

Opera Music Is Selected By Sevitzky

~City's Symphonic Choir Will Sing Three Times Sunday.

Operatic music will predominate in the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra’s popular concert which Fabien Sevitzky will conduct at 3 p. m. Sunday at the Murat. Ernest Friedlander, cellist, will be the soloist, and the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir will appear with the orchestra in three numbers. Mr. Friedlander, the orchestra’s first cellist, will play Tschaikowsky’s Variations on a Rococo Theme. This work and the tone poem, “Astarte,” by the contemporary American, Horace Johnson, are the only nondramatic music on the program. From operatic literature Mr. Sevitzky has chosen the Overture to Glinka’s “Russian and Ludmilla,” which opens the program; the Suite No. 1 from “Carmen,” the Prayer from Flotow’s - “Stradella,” the March from “Tannhaeuser,” the . Entr’acte to Act III of “La Traviata” and excerpts from “Aida,” which Mr. Sevitzky has arranged. The choir will be: heard in the “Stradella,” “Tannhaeuser” and *“Aida” music. The Prayer is one of the most popular of the concert selections from “Stradella.” This opera is one of two Flotow works which have retained their popularity to the present day. The other, of course, is “Martha.” Sunday's concert will mark the choir’s fifth appearance with the orchestra this year, and its first on the regular Sunday series. The 200 choristers sang on the special popular concert in Cadle Tabernacle on Nov. 27, on the subscription -concerts of Dec. 16 and 17, and on the orchestra’s CBS broadcast on Jan. 11. Elmer A. Steffen is the group's director. o 2 2 . The Purdue University Glee Club will give two concerts in Indianapolis this week-end. Tomorrow night the collegiate singers will appear at Caleb Mills Hall, under sponsorship of P.-T. A. 84. They will sing again at a Purdue alumni dance in the Indianapolis Athletic Club Saturday night. = The Purdue Association of Indianapolis and the Purdue. Women’s-. Club is sponsoring the concert for alumni and their friends. Proceeds will go .to the University student loan fund. Soloists at these concerts will be Charlotte ‘Friend Smith, soprano; Walter Wagner and Marvin Smith, tenors; Charles. Powell, baritone; Maurice Campbell, dancer, and Morey J. Doyle, pianist. Albert P. Stewart is the director, and Richard P. Thornton, accompanist. Indianapolis students in the glee club are: J. Henry Amt and: Charles Mosiman. For “those who take an extracurricular interest in ‘music and musicians, be it known: that Nelson Eddy will bring’ his new bride with him when he: sings. in Cadle Tabernacle, under Martens Concerts auspices, on Feb. 24.~1¢ will be the new ~ Mrs. Eddy's first : visit to Indianapolis. -Mr. Eddy’s 1ocal recital also is expected to catch an qverflow from Western Ohio. Orders already are coming in from Dayton and surrounding towns, from concert-goers who ‘were unable to purchase tickets for the Eddy recital in Dayton. Eddy fans in Kentucky and Illinois also have ordered tickets.
