MUSIC

Contemporary Music To Be Stressed Again

By DAVID MARSHALL

Fabien Sevitzky, in arranging the program for the sixth pair of Indianapolis Orchestra subscription concerts tomorrow afternoon and Saturday evening at the Murat, has accentuated the handiwork of his contemporaries. First, of course, is the facile fiddling of Jascha Heifetz, who will play the Concerto for Violin and Orchestra Opus 47 of Jean Sibelius, who is still very much with us. ' This is the concerto which Sibelius first wrote in his 38th year, revised two years later and which the eminent musicologist, Donald Francis Tovey, placed above the famous Violin Concerto of Mendelssohn and the G Minor Concerto of Max Bruch. Then, too, the program is concerned with two other active composers—Deems Taylor and Arcady Dubensky. Mr. Taylor will be represented by his suite for orchestra, “Through the Looking Glass,” which is as fully delightful as his Sunday afternoon N. Y. Philharmonic com-

mentaries through which most of you know him. 85 a THE SUITE HAS that same whimsy which caused Lewis Car‘roll to write: “'Twas brillig, and slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.”

The Dubensky piece—variations |

on Stephen Foster themes—is as new as a day-old baby. Commis-

sioned by Maestro Sevitsky dur- | ing the summer of 1940, the manu- |

script score bears the date “Jan. 8, 1941.” and the local orchestra, the per-

formance will be the world pre- |

miere. In confrast to these comparatively young artists, the program’s

first two works are by composers | of the VVO vintage—Vivaldi and | “Papa” Haydn’s contri- |

Haydn. bution in his overture to “L’Isola Disabitata,” one of the few operas he wrote. Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerte for Flute and Strings in F Major, Opus 10, No. 1, is a semi-descrip-tive work which he called “La Tempesta di Mare.” It, and all the numbers except the Dubensky . world premiere, will be a first Indianapolis performance. 8 » »

THE PURDUE UNIVERSITY Concert Choir, directed by A. P. Stewart, will appear in a recital at Caleb Mills Hall Thursday, Feb. 27. The choir will appear under the auspices of the choir of the Immanuel Evangelical and Reformed Church. .

Frohman Leaves Stage Mementos

NEW YORE, Jan, 30 (U, P.).— THe Museum ot the City of New York made room today for the late Dgniel Frohman’s collection of programs, portraits and other. theatrical mementos bequeathed it in the veteran producer’s will. Mr, Frohman, who ‘died Dec. 26 at the age of 89, compiled the col-

lection over a half century. It includes thousands of pictures, autographed photographs, books and albums relating to the stage. Among thé items are a landscape painted byl Joseph Jefferson, a poster of E. H. Sothern in “If I Were King,” drawn by John Barrymore, and inscribed portraits of the leading stage figures of the past 50 years. Mr. Frohman’s will regretted that he was unable fo make any provision for the Actors Fund of America, of which he had been president since 1903. “It is my hope,” Mr. Frohman added, “that my services on behalf of said fund the past 50 years may be considered as| taking the place of such a bequest.” ®

LAST DAY! IN TECHNICOLOR

By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 30.—If busy Burton K. Wheeler can spare a little time from his efforts to crack down on Hollywood for: its ropaganda” pictures, maybe the Senator from. Montana had ‘better give some thought to the German and Italian propaganda pictures coming into this country and being shown in an estimated 1200 theaters. As chairman of the Interstate Commerce Committee, Sen-

“war p

ator Wheeler must favor fair trade practices. How, then, can he go around talking up an embargo on domestic propaganda while doing nothing at all about the flood of flicker ballyhoo which is being shipped in by the Axis powers? "Maybe the Senator doesn’t know that more than a thousand small theaters scattered around large U. S.. cities and other areas of congested foreign blood are being plentifully supplied with movies which, whatever their point or origin, are definitely pro-Axis. Also that there are innumerable 16-mm. shorts and features made by UFA under the supervision of Nazi Goebbels and distributed in this country by UFA and the German railroad agencies for showing to private groups. # " os

ANYBODY WHO likes such pictures can point out that they are mostly non-militant and that they merely show life in the totalitarian world as happy, healthy, conveniently ordered, and often downright pastoral—complete with scenery. People who don’t like them can say they are wholly false in spirit and are doubly: vicious because they are designed to deaden this nation’s awareness of danger. Even if you disregard the complex substance of Hollywood and Arix-inspired films, it still seems unfair that the latter should be admitted to the United States. No
