‘Good Time Had by All' at Piano Recital of Su and Lois Mie

Memorial last

By JAMES THRASHER

_

PIANO RECITAL by Guy and Lois Maier at the War ght was somewhat in the nature of a pleasant party,

with the' Jordan Conservatory as host. || It was an |invitational affair, and only the Memorial auditorium’s

‘rather intima list. The hal spirit manifest|in a program which leaned toward| the light side and in the artists| platform manner, which avoided] austerity. Mr. Maier, this season has become a sort of| part-time citizen of Indianapolis his capacity as temporary ‘head of the Jordan Conservatory’s piano department, a task to which | he devotes a couple of days each week. His ‘presence has been a distinct asset to the musical community, of . course, since he is one of the country’s better known pedagogs, ‘besides being a famous pioneer in the field of duo-pianism. He and Mrs. Maier had been heard once before, as soloists with |

the Indianapolis Symphony Or- | chestra. But’ last night's appear- |

ance was their first here in recital. Their program was a generous one! To begin with, there were the Andante and Variations of Schumann, Mr. Maier’s transcription of six Brahms Liebeswalzer, and the Mozart Sonata in D. In the second group were Dalies Frantz “free adaptation” of “Turkey in the Straw,” as arranged by David Guion for piano solo; and three pieces by Homer immons, “Tango at Midnight,” Scherzino, and a passacaglia titled ‘The Duchess,” from the “Alice in Wonderland” Suite. : | The concluding sheaf of pieces contained “Tears,” by Rachman“inoff, the famous Arensky Scherzo nd the Coronation Scene from _Mussorgsky’s “Boris Godunov,” as

accommodations seem to have held down the guest was packed, and the audience partook of a festive

artanged by Lee Pattison, Mr. Maier's former pianistic partner. Besides this there were encores and one interpolation in the program, a piece by Casella which Mr. Maier described put failed to identify. Mr. Maier, who is an affable and witty person; as well as an accomplished pianist, bolstered

there with informal comment. The evening was marked throughout by. good playing. except in the case of the Mozart sonata, which suffered from inaccuracies and a waywardness of style. Elsewhere there was a wealth of sprightly articulation, brilliant runs and quite thunderous sonorities. /The listeners obviously appreciated the Maiers’ playing and the Jconservatory’s hospitality: and t smay be said safely, though tritely, that a good time was had by all.

Newspaper Film, Us War Casualty

HOLLYWOOD, March 20 (U, P). —Walter Wanger| yielded to the war in: Europe today and junked an ambitious project—the filming of Vincent Sheehan's ‘Personal History,” the story of an adventurous American newspaperman. J The first casualty Mr. Wanger encountered was the loss of considerable film from the Netherlands. It was enroute to England from Amsterdam when the ship carrying it struck a mine and went to the bottom of the North Sea. | ‘Without authentic background, Mr. Wanger concluded it would almost impossible to do justice to: Mr. Sheehan's story. He abandoned itt as “Personal History” and discarded the title. | “Rather than compromise a brilliant literary work or attempt to benefit from [the renown of its title, e are producing a completely new story and giving it a title,” he oa “We are, however, filming a story suggested by Mr, Sheehan's romantic quest for news.”

Precautions of Distributor Assure Safe Arrival of Film at Movie House

WITH MORE THAN 30 ‘heighborhood ‘theaters in Indianapolis and hundreds more throughout. the state to be furnished moving pictures, it’s a wonder the distributing organization doesn’t break

down’ sometimes. + Yet

pimost never is a neighborhood, theater without the pleture

it has advertised. Many hazards ride between the film-as it is

‘printed from the master negative and its arrival. into the projector of a neighborhood movie house. Not the least of these is fire. ~~ Precautions taken by the distributors who occupy offices in Film Row along N. Illinois St. have been .so- effective that fire hazard has been reduced fo a minimum, Film is stored in steel and’ concrete vaults with massive fire doors. The Goors are kept closed except when a can of film is being removed from the vaults. When more than one distributor has offices in the same building, the vaults are placed over the other. ALL METAL CONTACTS are minimized. The girls who run the film onto reels can’t even use metal pencils to search for broken sprocket holes. - Each girl keeps only one reel out of its individual metal container at a time. | Fire drills are held at the office of each ‘distributor every week. Front offices can be cleared: in from 25 to 30 seconds. Rear offices, where the girls work next to the vaults, have individual exits. They can be cleared in from seven to nine seconds. There even is a fir appointed by the Hay

marshal

HOLLYWOOD, March 20.—It may come as a shock to some of the parishioners to hear that Mae West takes.exercises. It was to me, anyway.

She’s considerably ‘smaller than fans would. guess. Biographical statistics give her height as 5 feet, 4 inches, but I doubt if she stands half an inch over 5 feet without shoes. She loves sweets but diets assiduously. She says that when she has to lose weight in a hurry she goes on: a steak diet, : # nn 8 1 STILL DOWBT that she takes ‘much exercise, but there’s no questioning that she has tremendcus eflergy. :She writes a great deal, either laboriously with pencil or by dictating to a secretary.
