2 Reci Joseph Bloch's Holiday at Home

itals and Symphony Date Fill

By JAMES THRASHER

JOSEPH BLOCH, who is studying piano with Mme. Olga Samaroff Stokowski and music at Harvard University, is in town to spend the But you scarcely could call Mr, Bloch’s trip home a vacation, since it promises to be quite a busy time. ——He has a recital scheduled at the World War Memorial on Jan. 5, another one in Bloomington five days later, and an appearance with

holidays with his parents.

the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra on the all-American program of its Friday night series, Jan. 24. .His contribution will be the Gershwin “Rhapsody in Blue”. In addition, he will be preparing for other engagements later in the winter. Early in February, for instance, he has been engaged to play Walter Piston’s Concertino

chestra. Likewise he is scheduled for a recital in Boston on Feb. 23, and another in Philadelphia on a day as yet unselected. 2 ® ”

MR. BLOCH'’S program for his War Memorial recital promises some seldom-heard music. He has listed the Bach Partita in B Minor; the Mozart Sonata in E Flat (the one with the two minu‘efs); Alkan's “Le Festin d’Esope”; two Debussy compositions, “Hommagé a Rameau” and “L'Isle Joyeuse”: Honegger’s Prelude, Arioso and Fughetta on B-A-C-H; a Scherzo by Francaix, and Bartok’s Rumanian Dance. The pianist’s enthusiasm for the Alkan music has led him to include a brief note on the printed program. This French composer, who lived from 1813 to 1885, wrote almost entirely for the piano, but his music suffers, as Mr. Bloch points out, from “inexplicable neglect.” As for the composition on the program, Mr. Bloch translates the title as “Aesop’s Orgy,” and identi‘files it as the last of Alkan’s 12

Etudes in the Miner Keys, Opus 39. It is in the form of a theme and 25 variations. ” 2 »

A FOLDER is at hand from the Myra Hess Fund for British Musicians in New. York, telling of Miss Hess’ work on behalf of her fellow artists and suggesting concerts in this country for the same cause. The eminent English pianist, it seems, has not been sitting idly by. Soon after the war began she founded the National Gallery Concerts, where she and other noted artists perform for little or nothing so that the younger and lesser known musicians may be paid. The concerts are held at noontime, I understand, out of defer=ence to the blackout, and listeners pay only a shilling. Audiences to date have totalled more than 125,000 and the proceeds, all of which go to the Musicians Benevolent Association, have amounted to some $20,000, the American committee reports. In response to the suggestion of American friends that the fund be started here, Miss Hess replied as follows: fe “I feel a little shy about a Myra Hess fund for British musicians, but if you think my name will gather any friends around the cause, them this is no time for modesty! “TI can’t tell you what it would mean .to have any financial help. Not only are we faced with a hard winter and the plight of so many musicians is appalling—but as I told our audiences the other day— I want to keep this little oasis of peace going in the heart of London, and though w& may be a small community, the principle of not. being deterred by these evil forces is important.”

Barrymore Is Wacky. In ‘Invisible Womart

" By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Wrlter

HOLLYWOOD, Dec, 24 ~—John

. | Barrymore is. playing: the role of a

somewhat wacky scientist: in Uni“The In-

lot of fun at it. He assembles’ an intricate machine which with the aid of an inspected chemical can render a person “invisible, and he tries it out on Virginia Bruce, an unhappy fashion model, who yolunteers for the experiment because she’s tired of being stared at. She’s also tired of being persecuted by her boss, and the first thing she does to celebrate her new state of transparency is to

give that stoistied; ex-employer a This ‘and other ‘aspects of the

|part are likely to do quite a bit

toward adding zip and spice to the

.|normally quiet and whelesome}

screen personality of Miss Bruce, even ‘ though audiences won't be able to see her in some of the scenes.

2 2 » HAVING BEEN treated with the rays of the machine, it happens that she can assume invisibility whenever she likes by guzzling some alcohol. If also happens that the machine doesn’t work on inanimate material, so in order to get completely out of sight Miss Bruce has to take off all her clothes. Consequently the imaginations of audiences will be stimulated by the suggestion that here is a pretty girl running around stark naked and a little drunk. It is a situation to confound the censorship boards, and it also is highly amusing to that old satyr,

tells the blushing Miss Bruce he’s working on a potion which will enable him to see the things which his marvelous machin® has made normally invisible. He says, too, that he wishes he had thought of making women invisible a long time -ago. It would have saved him a lot of trouble. When I visited the set Miss Bruce was completely materialized and working in a scene which discloses that the machine. has been stolen by agents of an underworld czar who figures invisibility would aid him in his nefarious enterprises. E- o 2

THE ACTRESS and the Great Profile—the latter wearing a gray wig and mustache and looking very much like Brother Lionel—come into the laboratory and find it wrecked. Then they hear a pounding on the floor of a closet where the housekeeper, Margaret Ham-

{ilton, has been imprisoned by the

gangsters. Miss Bruce was sup-

{{posed to release her quickly, but on the first take the latch wouldn't

work. After struggling with it for several seconds she turned to the camera and said, “I can’t get the —— door open!” Mr. Barrymore is looking remarkably well these days—partly, he says, because he is -obliged to scrape along on a court allowance

his creditors, and from now on the the amount will be considerable because a regular radio program has been added to his schedule. “When I get out from under my debts,” he said, “I want to buy a boat, but not a fancy big yacht like I had before. I'll be staying here from now on, and there'll be no more stage engagements; I paid $15,000 to get out of my last commitment.”

fond of radio, has just been signed for a weekly air show. I asked if he had any single ambition and he said yes, that he’s anxious to make a picture with W. C. Fields. “It’d be. the screwiest thing ever filmed,” he declared. “We've been talking together about it.”

Jimmy Finally Gets Film Start

Times Special + HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 24-—-James Roosevelt may not have reached the and of the rainbow in his career as big-time movie producer, but at least his first venture, “Pot 0’ Gold,”| ~ is under way. And that's something. Mr. Roosevelt fell heir to an almost record-breaking amount of delay and disappointment before the cameras finally started grinding on the picture, which features James Stewart, Paulette Goddard and Horace Heidt and his orchestra. The first postponement came when Director George Marshall was taken to a hospital for a major operation a week before shooting was to start. Mr. Roosevelt waited until Mr. Marshall was fully recovered, but by that time Mr. Stewart had another picture committment. The neophyte producer set another date. This time Miss Goddard was unavailable. By the time her film chore, was done, Mr. Stewart was tied up in another picture. And .to top it off, the Marine Corps Reserves decided they needed “Mr. Roosevelt just when everything was finally set. In spite of all this, however, Capt. Roosevelt of the Marines has the situation well in hand. They're really started, with ,Mr. Stewart playing a harmonica in the Heidt band and: getting mixed up with Miss Goddard ‘and a manufacturer of vitamized pep foods.
