7|Piano Fete Spectacular
Patriotic, Lavish and Long-
Practiced.
Undouhtedly the most spectacular music event of the year was Frank O. Wilking’s grand piano festival at the Coliseum yesterday which was done up in red, white and blue with lavish showmanship. The proceeds of the piano pageant, over and above expenses, went for equipment for the Indiana State Guard. In addition to the benefit aspect, the huge affair was aimed
owning a piano. In both objectives. Mr. Wilking’s extravaganzs very likely succeeded. Pianos on the floor were demonstrated en masse by hundreds of white clad youngsters and afterwards the instruments could be purchased.
Hundreds of Players
Bedecked with flags and bunting, the Coliseum was transformed into a convention hall for 125 grands, spinets and infant baby grands especially constructed for three-year-old pianists who joined the youthful group of musicians. Led by the arsists’ group of adult pianists, hundreds of boys and girls marched to the benches, opened their music and proceeded to play music with a high degree of coordination which spoke of plenty of practice. The girls were costumed in white dresses with v-striped, red necklines and the boys wore white ducks and shirts and black ties. The adult group appeared in formal clothes. Wilking Directs Mr. Wilking himself directed the playing field through a series of piano pieces which ranged from “O Susanna” to ‘Prelude in G Minor” by Rachmaninoff. The program was augmented by a chorus composed of the Indianapolis symphonic choir and the Indianapolis Maennerchor male chorus under the direction of Elmer Steffen. The festival appeared to be more attractive as an exhibition of pianos and children playing them than as a musical event. On the whole, it was well integrated and timed. Certainly it was conceived with a great deal of imagination and hard work. —R.L.

Inside Dope From an Inside Dope
YOU MAY HAVE wondered how it is possible for a homebody like me, who seldom strays even as far as Ben i to get all this
movie dope. Well, I'll tell you.
There are guys in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Punxsatawney and Peoria also writing authoritatively about Hollywood. They get the same mail I do. Sometimes, if we are quick on the
trigger, we even manage to scoop the movie magazines. Of course, the stuff we print is strictly what the myriad publicity agents want us to print and it is well to remember that their material has been edited and censored by the industry’s brass hats. Sometimes I question the advisability of using this stuff. But I reckon that if a colleague in Jersey City feels justified in recounting events wWiich happen or are imagined 3000 miles away, I ought not to feel squeamish abdut it, because I am 700- miles nearer. Besides, most of this junk is released from Rockefeller Plaza, New York City, anyway.

* HOWEVER DISTANT one may be from the scene of movie operations, and I don’t intend to get any nearer than I am now, it is possible to deduce certain conclusions” from the evidence at hand. : Prodigious waste is the most obvious deduction at' which one arrives speedily. I have mentioned it before. If there is an impending paper shortage, I know where a good deal of it could be saved.” Press agents have a funny habit of sending duplicate releases to this desk and the number of pictures I get a week would paper a five-room bungalow. I brought up this subject the other day among a group of press agents who were passing through. They nodded sagely. “We know all ahout that,” said the senior press agent. “But you

A Mere $300,000 SPEAKING OF PRODIGIES in this business, it is announced in New York that 20th-Century Fox paid $300,000 for the screen rights of the John Steinbeck stage play now running on Broadway. “The Moon Is Down.” This is reputed to be the biggest head of lettuce ‘ever paid for a Broadway play by the movies. New York critics were divided on the merits of the play. Some outspokenly disliked it, others appeared to think is passable. The play was adapted from the best-selling book by ‘the autifbr who zoomed out of comparatively literary obscurity several years ago with “The Grapes of . Wrath.” Steinbeck, of course, has been writing for years and long before he hit the best seller lists, he wrote such great books as, “In Dubioug_Battle.” His second novel to hit the jackpot deals with the occupation of a Norwegian town by the Nazis who nearly go batty from the cold-shoulder treatment. they receive from the inhabitants.

“We sincerely wish to given an opera with an all-Hoosier cast,” Mr Sevitzky said. “We are confident there is sufficient talent in Indiana to put on a fine performance, and it is our purpose to find that talent and give it the recognition it deserves. “However, we can not pay the expenses of the singers either for auditions or for the performance and so, much as we regret it, we ask that no one apply for parts in this production unless he is able to defray all his own expenses.”
