ONLY ONE BANK IN STATE ROBBED IN "41

Bank robberies are almost ‘a thing of the past in Indiana. ’ According to Don F. Stiver, superintendent of the Indiana State Police, only one bank robbery was staged in 1941 and then, in exactly four hours and 26 minutes, the bandit was apprehended. But in those 266 minutes from the time of the robbery in Jeffersonville, the robber : had disposed of $388 of the $5920 stolen. Use of the two-way radio was largely responsible for the capture

Charlestown, Connersville and Seymour state police posts, plus the Louisville city police, kept in con-

her led the applause only a part of

There was reason. Her concert concluded the series brought here by Martens Concerts, Inc. with a splash of fine artistry. Three encores in addition to a full program were not enough. Like Marian Anderson, Miss Maynor is a Negro singer who made a sudden appearance as a soloist after years of obscurity. Her fame has spread for little more than a year, but it has spread far. A good many people who ought to know say she is a second Marian Anderson. I should prefer to say that she is a first Dorothy Maynor, It is a name to remember. I have a feeling in these bones she will be here again and again.

OUTSIDE, IT WAS a gray and gritty afternoon. A sharp, mean little wind kicked up the dirt in the circle. But once you elbowed your way past the ticket-taker, you came into a better world, dominated thoroughly by Miss Maynor's superb voice. ; I have learned that being late to performances sometimes pays when the going is dull. So I am late by habit. This time, my habit was my misfortune. I had to stand in the darkness behind the seats. Beyond the rows of motionless heads and fantastic hats came an exquisite voice with the clarity of a finely tempered bell in still air. The voice welled from a short, chubby column of green Which was the artist. She was attired in a floor-length formal gown that shimmered softly and she stood still in.front of the piano which glowed with a rosy hue from the footlights. She was singing the aria, “V’ adoro pupille,” in which Cleopatra expresses her love for Caesar in Handel’s “Julius Caesar.” A spontaneous and startlingly loud burst of applause started me moving to my seat. And in view of the fact that my hurry to get situated was great and my overcoat bulky, I trust the lady whose shin I inadvertently kicked will understand and forgive. Miss Maynor’s accompanist was Arpad Sandor, an accomplished pianist in his own right, who {somehow managed to keep his {mind on his work and enjoy her, i : 2 nn | I WAS WATCHING him as she Isang “O Sleep, why dost thou leave me” from “Semele,” and he had his eyes closed and his mouth open as though he, too, were drinking it in. In the dramatic phrases of her music, Miss Maynor threw back her head and closed her eyes. She seemed to concentrate on a phrase before she sang it. Instantly, the mood would change. She'd roll her eyes and dark twinkles would appear in them and she would smile straight at the second balcony. Invariably this brought little gasps of delight from the audience. , She interpreted not only with “her voice. She mimicked with quick iittle gestures. She was a moonstiuck girl in love (“Depuis le jour” from “Louise”) and the heaven-bound matron (“Ride on, Jesus”). She sang a group of six Negro spirituals with the tenderness and simplicity of prayers, which they are. I liked those best in her program because it is rare to hear spirituals sung with such beauty.

MISS MAYNOR'S STAGE presence is a compromise between dignity and humor. She knows how to handle an audience, how to make them laugh a little and make them sit tense and quiet. Before she sang “Ave Maria,’ which begins very quietly, she cre ated a thick atmosphere of sus-

pense by a long pause. She seemed to be listening for something. Pretty soon the audience seemed to be listening for something. The coughing that erupts in any audience during the winter time died away. It was so quiet in the house you could héar the theater's ancient timbers creak. These techniques enhanced the rich color of her voice, which has both lyric and coloratura qualiIt is a flexible and highly controlled instrument on which she seemed to play with her will. For the most part, she used only part of it. There is great clarity and force in her voice, which has an unusual range. Her notes were never thin. Miss Maynor’s program constituted a good afternoon’s singing for any hall. Even so, they wanted to hear more of it. I think they will. m—————————

BAN SEARCHLIGHTS AT FILM 'PREVIEW'

HOLLYWOOD, March 2—(U. P)). —Filmtown stages a wartime “preview” tonight without the customary sky « sweeping searchlights and crowded sidewalks when Charlie Chaplin’s revival of his silent hit, “The Gold Rush” is shown in nearby Westwood. Army authorities refused permission to use searchlights, but said extra ground level illumination could be used. Police ordered streets and sidewalks kept clear against the possibility of sudden blackout. “The Gold Rush,” one of Chaplin’s most successful pictures, has been prepared for re-issue with words and music.
