Answer: More Local Support

THE AX OF WAR necessity has lopped off a good 20 per cent of our Indianapolis symphony orchestra's potential income this year

by forcing cancellation of the profitable eastern tour.

That means

the orchestra must look to its local audience to make up the difference. Symphony nudges are cut pretty close and it is hard to realize,

sometimes that an orchestra is a business organization which can go out of business when its revenue drops too far below the outgo. In addition #0 the eastern tour cancellation, nlandated by uncer= tain railroad transportation, the

Broadway show, “This Is the Army,” appeared on the scene in New York, showpeople began to realize the possibilities of using army talent. The stage, the screen, the vaudeville circuits and

subscribers throughout Indiana dropped off the subscription rolls this season because of gas rationing. Of course, the midwest tour schedule remains intact. - But expenses have risen so that the orchestra won't do much more than break even. It was the eastern tour the orchestra was counting on. . ” ” EJ ONE COMPENSATING note in the orchestra's diminished financial prospects has been the increase in single seat sales. That indicates more local interest in the symphony. Indicative of the kind of difficulties the orchestra may expect when it tours the midwest is what happened last week wher Fabien Sevitzky took it to Columbus, O. The concert was scheduled at 8:15; the boys arrived at 9 p. m. But the audience was patient. , Getting back was. a probieh, too. They almost missed a broads cast. As one member put it, they almost didn’t get back. Business Manager Howard Harrington revealed that when the tour itinerary was planned last spring, the orchestra had to turn down 20 appearance dates,

mostly because of transportation. .

Orchestra people are saying it’s a good thing they didn’t accept those dates. They would have had a much bigger tour. to cancel. “That,” they commented, “would have made us feel terrible, instead of just bad.” ” 8 ” 3 WHEN THE now-famous

navy and, in the marine corps. As Camp Atterbury receives the men who are ta be trained there, more .and more talent appears. Already, the camp boasts a fine array of entertainers who have been putting on some excellent, extemporaneous shows. To put on these shows, the camp entertainment fund .needs money. So the boys have decided to do an army show for the Indianapolis public and see if they can’t raise funds that way. The show they have planned is a revue, featuring some mighty good talent. It will be presented ‘by Camp Atterbury’s 83d division Monday, Dec. 7, first anniversary of Pearl Harbor, at the Illinois st. branch of the service men’s center (former Maennerchor bldg.). » ” ”

. THE TITLE is “We Did It Before.” And all of these men have done their acts and routines before in civilian life. There is Pvt. Sandy McPher- \ son, master of ceremonies, 16 ‘wears in show business. He’s only '28, but he’s played all the top heaters on the vaudeville circuit. - There's a Negro quintet of blues singers and Pvt. Rudolph Vereen, eccentric dander, who appeared in two Broadway shows, “Shuffle Along,” and “Blackbirds.” And there's Anthony De Joseph, ballad-singing tenor; -Sergt. Hamilton, Donald’ Du impersonator; Pvt. Tom Gambon, professional comedian from Boston; Pvt. Homer G. Yeoman, fire eater. Yep, he eats glass, too. And from Chicagaq’s Chez Paree, Pvt. Bob Cartmell, dancer; Pvt. Martin - Gruen, pianist formerly with Les Brown and his orchestra; Sergt. Charles Wood, tenor, formerly with the National Broadcasting Co. Pvt. Alexander Slagle, Broadway singer and actor. He'll impersonate Benchley, probably bet ter than Benchley does; Pvt. Jo= seph Chaykowsky, baritone, and

D. Mitrouch, vaudeville acrgbats. ” ” »

and Sergt. Pratt and his “Cannoneers” from the 83d are in the show. But that’s not all, either. There’s the Camp Atterbury philharmonic jive band, so hot you have to turn off the steam heat in the auditorium when they get going. Their leader, ex . officio and pro tem, is none other than Fabien Sevitzky, That's the show as we get it. Remember the time: Dec. 7, 8 p. m., and the place, the Illinois st. Service Men’s center. Sure there'll be an admission charge. The boys need money. Not for themselves, you understand. But for a fund that will permit them to keep on entertaining,

Roof Books Rey To Play. on Dec. 6

The roof is one of the five dance dates the band has accepted during its nation-wide theater tour.
