I remember saying to her once, ‘T don’t need to practice. Music runs in the family.’ ‘If you don't, she replied, will run right out.’ “Some years ago I got married without telling anyone about it.

ALL RIGHT. YOU GARBO FANS out there in the neighborhoods,
here's your retiring and now in all in all acts nothing like the Remember the controversary
the film. The film is a slick, sophisticated
chance to see the NEW Greta,
picture with Garbo breaking up
her own home by winning her handsome husband away from herself. It would be possible only in the mind of Hollywood—and very good entertainment. It opens at the Uptown today and plays through Saturday. = =
ANOTHER NEW FILM entering the neighborhoods is “One Foot In Heaven.” It's the story of a hard working minister who leads | a life of devotion, first to his faith, and then to his family. Frederic March as the Rev, William Spence outdoes and Martha Scott extremely good as his wife. It's at the Strand today through Saturday: at the Zaring and Rivoli tomorrow through Satur-
day.

AUTHENTIC
Sevitzky Is Hailed Again
Vigor and Force Applauded By St. Louis Critic.
ST. LOUIS, Mo.,, Jan. 14—Harry R. Burke, St. Louis Globe-Demo-crat critic, graciously tipped his hat today to Fabien Sevitzky for his Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra performance in the Civic Music League series concert at Municipal Auditorium last night. “Hats off to Fabien Sevitzky,” said Burke, “the only conductor, in this writer's experience of 20 years’ music reviewing here, who was ever able to make a St. Louis concert audience stand up and sing “The Star Spangled Banner.” “Dr. Sevitzky did last night, with his imperative gesture, his relentless time-beat . . . but the vigor and vitality of that beat also have their reverse, and one halts to pay another tribute to Dr. Sevitzky, the only conductor of his experience who could make this reviewer understand in actuality that the last years of the 18th Century could sincerely believe that Brahms is better than he sounds.
“A Young Orchestra”
“For, it is vigor and force and relentless tempo that mark Sevitzky’s readings rather than subtle nuance and sensitive tonal blends. His orchestra has its obvious physical limitations.” Reed . Hynds, Star-Times, said “youthfulness - was the attribute most tellingly shown. “It is a young orchestra, just beginning its second decade, and most of the players are young.” Sevitzky, he said, “is enterprising. His achievements are the secret in symphonic circles.” “He followed the current vogue of conducting without scores, from a high carpeted stand' with a step, but his control of the orchestra was not very imperious. “His interpretations were not eccentric, except at certain climactic moments when he quickened the tempo unnecessarily. He simply did not set up an appropriate dramatic tension.”
Audience Enthusiastic
The chief offering, Rrahms Symphony No. 1, Hynds felt “was deficient in intensity and had little cumulative power. The orchestra was far more successful in the other items, which included a
