Frolicking Garbo Takes | Picture of Month Honors

A new Garbo, laughing and frolicking, has captured the fancy of | critics in “Ninotchka.” her first comedy, Scripps-Howard movie reviewers have chosen the M-G-M film as | the Picture Hit of the month for November in the regular monthly poll Just completed. Comrade Garbo is credited with having achieved a great performance as a comedienne in the role of | the lady Communist who comes to gaviets and it comes along at af Paris and learns tha! love and life moment when the theaters of the! are not things to be regulated by nation are badly mm need of laughthe state. ter.” Here's what William Boehnel of the New York World-Telegram says: | “Having demonstrated, again and again. that she is just about the finest dramatic actress on the screen today, Greta Garbo now proves that she is a comedienne of equal greatness and distinction in the frolicksome, frothy and completely delightful comedy about a seriousminded voung lady Comrade who falls in love with a gay and charming Paris playboy.

‘She Is a Delight’

“She plays the title role of the film with such freshness, spontaneity and zest that she is a delight— Just that—and if you fail to see her performance and the sparkling comedy in which she gives it you'll be missing one of the jolliest treats of the vear.” Winsor Press: * ‘Ninotchka’ wins my vote as the

SEVITZKY Jordan Students Play With Spirit, Precision:

By JAMES THRASHER

A surprising and gratifying audience crowded the Gothic confines of the Scottish Rite Cathedral auditorium last night to hear the annual

Christmas concert presented by the Jordan Conservatory of Music. The performers were the conservatory orchestra, conducted bv Fabien Sevitzky, the Jodan-Butler Choir and Marie Zorn, who appeared as piano soloist with the orchestra. The occasion was a thoroughly] happy one. The orchestra has made | delightful work, skillfully and tightcommendable progress in the past ly written, brimming with lyricism year.

More important are the changes that have taken place in the shows over the intervening years, he thinks.

It seems in the old days some of the donors would drop off a bag of potatoes at a theater door with the request that “a bunch of kids” be let in free. People would bring a bag of groceries instead of a can of beans, Thus there were movie groceries for each individual. Now the number of persons seeing food shows is much greater than it used to be. The number of persons fed is just about the same. Mr. Zeven savs: “Bring a dozen cans of food if vou can. Remember vou aren't just seeing a show You're feeding a family.” A few vears after the Zaring's shows, the Indiana Photoplay Endorsers took over sponsorship of the affairs. They handle most of the Food shows in the City now.
