HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 1 (U.P.).— Film Comedian Bud Abbott of the team of Abbott and Costello yesterday pocketed his own $5000 and “I told you so” to police as a jury acquitted him of drunk charges.

He plays french horn, too, but the orchestra had horn players and needed violinists at the time. “It’s one of the most democratic orchestras in the world—and one of the most cosmopolitan,” he said. “The personnel includes Chinese, Hawaiians, JapaneseAmericans and ° Americans from the states.

Opening Postponed MOST OF THE Americans were service men who rehearsed when off duty. The big drawback, 1 of course, was that sometimes the players were transferred to other stations on quick notice. Director Fritz Hart always faced the possibility of opening the season minus a flute player or some other instrumentalists. , The outbreak of war in the Pacific caught the Honolulu .symphony just at the opening of its season. For 20 years, the orchestra held its grand opening each mid-December. But there was no opening symphony night in Honolulu last December. “We were stopped for a while,” Maj. Lee admitted. “Some of us were rather busy. But the orchestra wasn’t stopped for long. We had a season schedule of five concerts. We gave four of them.
“Of course, we couldn't play very well in the blackouts, so we

He seems fairly confident that the good people of Honolulu will not miss their opening afternoon concert this year. He wanted to convey his thanks for the invitation to hear the Indianapolis orchestra, which, he said, he considers an excellent musical organization.

PERHAPS THIS will give Mallory’s another slant on the article they purchased from the In=dianapolis symphony last night— an article so priceless that the treacherous attack at Pearl Harbor could not destroy it, but only postpone it. : Mallory’s purchase was something in the nature of an experimental deal. A deal which included Rossini’s “William Tell Overture”; Schubert’s “Symphony No. 8 in B minor”; three of, Brahms’ most delightful Hungarian dances; Strauss’ “Tales From the Vienna Woods” and Dubensky’s “Stephen = Foster” No. 1. : This in addition to the world premiere of Mr. Cadman’s “Aurora Borealis,” a descriptive poem with the delicate and intricate design of a snowflake, glistening, cold, somewhat abstruse.

lory’s like the concert? I thought they liked it fine. Joseph E. Cain, vice-president and treasurer of the company, who made the arrangements, was pretty sure they did. He said afterward he felt they enjoyed it more than any other recreation function the company has yet sponsored. “If the demand is sufficient,” he said, “we will certainly see that they have another concert. We feel that we and other defense plants can do nothing more worthwhile for the city than to benefit employees in this way.”

Don’t Dare Yell Fake
Blisters Prove Miss Powell
Does Own Rope Tricks. By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN
United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Dec. 1.—She’s going to die, Eleanor Powell is, she said, if any of you customers go to her new movie and say, fake. The right forearm of the lissome Miss Powell is one inch bigger around than her left. She's got a callous in the palm of her hand that itches, all of her fingers have been blistered at one time or another during the last three months, and
she is doing her own trick, herself, in person. She.wants you to understand that. What you'll see on the screen is Miss Powell in the scantiest cow-girl suit yet, doing all the rope acts in the repertory, while she dances at one and the same time, This sounds simple, ’
Feet Faster Than Hands
“But it isn’t,” she said. “Nobody ever tried to dance in time to fast music before while twirling a rope to slow time. My feet go twice as fast as my hands, and—feel.” Miss Powell put forth her good right arm and we felt—and it felt like the branch of a eucalyptus tree except that, of course, it was warmer. She is co-starring in an M-G-M number titled “I Dood It” and you get one guess as to the name of her red-headed coperformer. The roping act occurs in the midst of a Metro desert deluxe, where the mountains in the distance are lavender, the floor is paved in black marble, the cowgirls all wear mesh opera hose, and then horsemen who provide the music consist of Jimmy Dorsey's orchestramen in blue satin shirts. It would be a wonderful desert in which to get lost. Even the cactus has no thorns. Eighty-five days ago, it was, that Miss Powell began practicing the art of the rope, under tutelage of Oklahoma Sam Garrett, seven-times winner of the Cheyenne championships, co-star of the late Will Rogers on a world tour, and a right handy man with a rope.
A Rope Is Stubborn
Every morning at 10 Garrett and Miss Powell went to work with their ropes and they worked on through until 4. The big difficulty seems to be that a rope is a stubborn thing. Say you're whirling it around in time to
through it on a split beat. “The knot’s always there to tangle in your feet and send you on your face,” Miss, Bowell said.
