2 Concerts Outstanding

Josef Hofmann Is Guest Soloist on Program of

Added Charm.

By JAMES THRASHER

| This week-end brings us to the penultimate pair of concerts in the Symphony Orchestra’s subscription series. And with it comes what is by all odds the season’s most enjoyable occasion. | First of all the orchestra has in its guest soloist, Josef Hofmann, a pianist whose long and distinguished service to his art has gained him the . world’s admiration.| Furthermore, Mr. Sevitzky has chosen a program which, for music of beauty and preponderant genius, has not been matched this year. : The triumvirate of conductor, soloist and orchestra is in fine fettle, at least it was at yesterday's performance, and there is no cause to feel that it will be any less so in the concert tonight.

Shows Fine Balance

Mr. Sevitzky set the pace for things to come in his reading of the ~ Beethoven “Leonore” Overture No. 3. which opened the program. This certainly is the best Beethoven that the conductor has given us in his two seasons here. Never before has he seemed to have such a convincing grasp of the composer’s intention. The overture is, of course, an enthralling drama in itself. And Mr. Sevitzky gave this drama full sway without, however, obtruding any mannerisms upon his listeners. His reading exhibited a fine balance of thorough understanding and modest detachment. It might also be noted that Mr. Woodbury, who played the famous off-stage trumpet calls, covered an amazing amount of ground. The . first fanfare sounded from the bal- | ~cony, and the second from the deepest recesses of the wings. Which is quite a distance to travel in the course of about eight measures. : Mr. Hofmann’s pianism, and- his performance of Beethoven's “Em- _ peror” Concerto have been considered and analyzed so often that further comment is coming to be somewhat of an impertinence. Yet the artist has not been heard here in many years and, for all I know, was playing the concerto in Indianapolis for the first time yesterday. Certainly there were many in the audience who had heard neither the pianist nor the interpretation before, which may serve as an execuse for a few words.

Hofmann Technic Thrills

John Barrymore is the star of the second picture which is being mentioned first. What's more, the film was directed by young Garson Kanin, who has developed the faculty of taking some lower-case actors and a shoestring budget and producing some outstanding screen entertainment. y

an impression which makes the difficulty of hammering an emotional response into cold words more than usually acute. His application of these resources to the music in question is highly satisfying. To his technical powers he adds a searching study of the music’s beauty and a commanding eloquence of utterance. He is willing to let Beethoven speak for himself. On the emotional side, there is an organic unity that springs from complete conviction; of a more purely musical nature are the originalities of phrasing and shading of rhythmic and dynamic accentuation, which enhance the enjoyment as figures may increase the interest in a painter’s magnificent landscape. Music to match the greatness of Beethoven came with the Brahms Variations on a Theme by Haydn, which followed the intermission. It seamed in a couple of instances that Mr. Sevitsky’s choice of tempo was not in the best interest of clarity and general effect, and the orchestra contributed a few lapses from their standard of playing elsewhere. Yet many of the variations were done stunningly, and Mr. Sevitsky erected the stratified climax of the finale with splendid effect.

* Give ‘Sierra Morena’

Emerson Whithorne was the American contributor to the program, being represented by his “Sierra Morena.” This is music of Spanish inspiration, as the program ‘notes will inform you. And Mr. Whithorne seems not only to have achieved the superficial effects of Spanish music (a relatively easy task) but also to have caught considerable of the spirit as well. It is a colorful, exuberant and exciting work. From the standpoint of virtuoso conducting and playing nothing on the program’ surpassed the performance of Debussy’s “La Mer.” Debussy succeeded better than most composers in painting a tonal picture of the sea, for, like the gifted stylist in any art, his imagery avoided triteness. Yet, since ‘the sea looks about the same from wherever you view it, performers must be exceedingly alert lest music depicting it fall into the same monotony. . “La Mer” stays within a fairly limited dynamic range, for Debussy was not one to go in for ‘howling gales and splintered boats. Yet within this range there is a wealth of subtlety, of dancing, shifting colors which the gifted conductor may find. Orchestration Pleases

Mr. Sevitzky, as might be expected, found them yesterday. For we know by now that the complex, lat-ter-day scores have no terror for him, and he is able to probe through a welter of rhythms and sonorities and seize the essential meaning. So, under his informed ministrations, the waves never rolled aimlessly, and “La Mer” remained an absorbing work of poetry and brilliant orchestration from beginning to end. Yesterday’s audience responded to

Miss Weidler, who will celebrate her 12th birthday on Tuesday, has a legitimate claim to being one of Hollywood’s most able and appealing actresses. Master Holden, who is considerably younger, got his start on Broadway with Dudley Digges in “On Borrowed Time.” Together, they give Mr. Barrymore a run for his money.

The story -has to do with a brilliant down-and-outer and his two children, whose loyalty and admiration for the “great man” can’t be quenched.

Gregory Vance was a scohlar and a Harvard professor. But, upon his wife’s death, he lost the stimulus for keeping up appearances, and, as the picture opens, we find him as a night watchman who drinks too much, teaches his children Latin and has no use for the New York school system. Things come to a pass where the children, having contracted black eyes in defense of their father’s reputation, feel that they had better go and live with their maternal grandparents. *

Position Is Important

About this time, however, it is discovered that Vance is the only registered voter in the 13th precinct. And the party in power feels about this precinct as the country at large used to think about Maine around election time. So Vance, with the children’s help, finally wangles a promise of the school commissioner’s job in return for the vote. Of course, he votes the wrong way. But he gets the job, the children’s pride and faith are vindicated, and that’s that. Mr. Barrymore has himself a spree of virtuoso acting, and the two children add a brace of admirable contributions. The whole thing is funny, deft and decidedly off the beaten track. And, incidentally, recommended without qualification by this department. “Love Affairs” starts out to be one of the year’s brightest comedies. Delmar Davies and Donald Ogden Stewart have provided some highly amusing lines which the two stars deliver with lip-smacking relish. There is also a delightful character portrayal by Maria Ouspenskaya. Terry and Michel meet on a boat.

everything set before it with an enthusiasm in the staid Friday throng. It truly was an occasion for rejoicing. Mr. Hofmann was the recipient of rapturous and prolonged applause, and the listeners bestowed similar favors upon | Mr. Sevitzky and his players.

‘Great Man Votes’ Brings ~ Unusual Story to Screen

Unless you are a confirmed boy-meets-girl addict, you can put your money safely on the dark horse of the current Indiana bill. The film is called “The Great Man Votes,” and it is playing second fiddle to “Love Affair,” which features Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne.

They fall in love, though each is engaged to someone else. As the boat docks in New York, Michel, a philandering ne’er-do-well, promises to meet Terry on the 102d floor of the Empire State Building in six months. Then, if all is well, they are to be married.

But Terry is run over and crippled on her way to the tryst. And about here the picture gets slower and slower; and the whole thing is bogged down by an impossible premse. It seems that Terry won't let Michel be informed that she is hurt. When she finds that she is unable to walk, she takes a modest job and tries to forget. Michel goes in for painting and forgetfulness. Eventually he comes to see her in her apartment. By accident he discovers the secret, and all is well. If Michel can paint, Terry says, surely the day of miracles is at hand, and she will be able to walk.

Miss Dunne Is Charming

Mr. Boyer is a smooth-as-silk-per-former, of course, and Miss Dunne, despite a case of dramatic adenoids, is’ charming. hanging her mouth open to express any and ‘every emotion. Buf, in contrast, there is that irresistible Jean Arthurish voice and a lovely sense of the ludicrous. Though you may find yourself eventualy praying for the end, the scenarists kindly brighten the way with some refreshing fuh—like the instance where Terry quotes her father to the effect that: “It’s funny, but all the things we enjoy are either illegal, immoral or fattening.”—J.- T.

Mickey Fits Easily Into * Huck’ Role

Proves in Film at Loew's He Deserves That Title ‘All-American Boy.’

Mickey Rooney has made the AllAmerican! : Long dubbed by his studio the “All-American Boy,” he easily earns that accolade with his performance in Mark Twain’s classic “Huckleberry Finn” now playing at Loew's. With Mickey handling the realboy parts as he does and the Samuel Clemens Mississippi River saga awaiting a better than adequate filming it is somewhat of a Hollywood mystery why the Twain have not met before. For all Mickey has to do is to be Mickey and presto! he becomes “Hugk.” Huck who hates shoes and school. Huck who loves a corncob pipe, the River and unusual superstitions. The boy who travels a long way to meet a lot of “human-bein’s” and learns that it “ain’t right for one human-bein’ to own another human-bein’.” The kind of a boy we like to think of as the “typical” American boy—even though actually there isn’t such a person.

Most Everyone Knows Yarn

It is probable that many persons have never read the story of Huck but it seems unlikely that few do not know the yarn of the boy who floats down the Mississippi with a runaway slave, Jim. Huck’s sottish father, “Pap” Finn, has demanded $800 from the Widow Douglass and her sister, Miss Watson, to let them keep Huck. To raise the money they decide to sell their slave, Jim. So both Huck and Jim are away down the Mississippi on a raft. Before they had left Huck makes it appear that he has been murdered at his Pap's shack. When the little river town finds then both gone the vigilantes, of course, think Jim has murdered the boy. But before Jim can get to his promised land of a free state, a pair of gamblers literally fall into their voyage, Jim is jailed and almost lynched, Huck is bitten by a rattlesnake, the gamblers are tarred and feathered and the story rushes upstream to a whistling finish. ex Ingram Stars, Too Althotigh Mickey has top-billing and, as usual, deserves it, Rex Ingram as the slave, moves ahead of Walter Connolly who is billed above him and nearly catches up with The Rooney. He plays the part with the dignity that so many Negro actors have achieved and impregnates the role with a charm that is as warmIng as Mickey's is heart-lightening. Elizabeth Risdon as the Widow Douglass who makes excuses for the erring Huck and eases the sharpness of her sister, Clara Blandick, stands far above the rest of the feminine cast. Also on the twin-bill is “Homicide Bureau” with Bruce Cabot, Rita Hayworth, Marc Lawrence and others, which is billed as the “inside story of the munitions racket.”

John Trent, formerly Pilot LaVern Browne, is bringing the cartoon charcter of “Tailspin Tommy” to the screen in “Mystery Plane,” showing at the Alamo today through Monday. Mr. Trent, who used to pilot a passenger ship for one of the major airlines, was guest of the Indianapolis Variety Club in 1937 following completion of his first pic ture, “John Meacle’s Woman.”

Duchin Gets Aid at Lyric

Three Other * Good Acts Make Entertaining Hour.

Eddie Duchin’s quicksilver piano playing plus three good acts make this week’s stage show at the Lyric an entertaining hour. Durelle Alexander, vocalist with Duchin’s orchestra, is an outstanding performer. She sang as if she were enjoying the whole business, particularly in one of her encores, “Old Man Mose.” A male trio assisted her in a novelty arrangement of “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby,” complete with glasses and canes as the “babies” grew old. The Top Hatters, a boy and girl skating team, execute some acrobatic antics that draw gasps. Ray and Trent, a straight acrobat pair, perform their feats with a touch of comedy. Mr. Duchin plays a group of solo requests, including “Deep Purple,” “Hold Tight,” |“Penny - Serenade” and the always popular “Stardust.” A new vocalist with the band, Johnny McAfee, took the first chorus of “You Must Have Been a Beautiful Baby” and aided the (trio in “Hold Tight.” Lew Sherwood, first trumpet, whom the leader referred to as a “trumpet vocalist,” does a Russian version of “Dark Eyes,” complete with Russian headgear, plus some fine tooting on the Duchin arrangement of “Stormy Weather.” The “Stormy Weather” number comes complete with realistic lightning effects. Stanley Worth, another vocalist, offered “Deep in a Dream” and “Two Sleepy People.” The screen attraction is “Black-

Everybody's Still Happy With Lewis

Veteran Showman Given Topnotch Help From Little 'Shadow.'

Ted Lewis, with his battered top hat and clarinet, takes over this week at the Circle with an entertaining show of singing, dancing and comedy acts. To the strains of his theme song, “When My Baby Smiles at Me,” the ve showman, a little gray at the ples now, puts his familiar question, “Is everybody happy?” He is celebrating another birthday for his clarinet this week, complete with a birthday cake and candles, and in his talking way of singing, he tells the story of his clarinet pal. :

‘Shadow’ Is Star, Too

A topnotcher on his show is the little Negro “shadow” who pantomimes Mr. Lewis in “I Wonder What My Shadow Thinks of Me” and mimics the leader in the theme song. In the “shadow” number, Ted sings in front of a backdrop with a reproduction of his top hat and clarinet in the center plus his own shadow reproduced by lighting effects. The Gala Sextet, a dance team, contribute several numbers. Other attractions are an acrobatic dancer and a comic dancer. Mr. Lewis’ Radio Aces, a vocal trio, do a nov‘elty arrangement of “Let the Rhythm Go to Your Feet,” in which they include bits of opera and music from many lands. Their medley of Irving Berlin tunes includes “Alexander’s Ragtime Band,” “A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody,” “Marie” and “Always.”
