They'll Do It Again

The 83D DIVISION'S smash dotighboy revue, “We Did It Before,” which wowed several hundred citizens at the service center auditorium Monday night, will do it again. The division is planning to repeat the show, orginally scheduled as a one-night stand, for Dec. 20 at the

center. The date is still tentative.

The show has stimulated more enthusiastic discussion around town

than any entertainment event this ‘year. The second performance ought to be even better than the first, which was largely extemporaneous. Most of the singers, for instance, - had colds. The men had their fingers crossed, uncertain whether their acts would go over. They were inclined to be pessimistic. For its part, the audience didn't expect much. But these misunderstandings were quickly corrected. The audience was delighted and amazed by the quality of the performances and soon as the entertainers caught the reaction to their work, they went to town.

” ” 4 THE JOB Fabien Sevitzky did with the Atterbury jive band is one of the season’s miracles.

The story is that the bandsmen, all experienced swing musicians, had the initial impression that Mr. Sevitzky was going to tone them down. How could the conductor of a symphony orchestra know anything about jive? When Mr. Sevitzky went to work to rehearse the band, he let them play the sizzling jive of “At the Military Ball” in their own way. Then he proceeded to tear the piece apart. He wasn't supposed to know anything about jive, but he showed them how to play it. A vast respect began to grow up among the members of the band for Mr. Sevitzky. He knew the idiom of swing and jive as well as

they did and knew how to express it. Give Mr. Sevitzky a few more rehearsals with these ‘“Cannoneers,” all of whom are good instrumentalists, and you have a band it would be hard to beat. ” ” ” I DON'T KNOW whether Mr. Sevitzky and the army would deem it fitting to give the “Cannoneers” a spot during a symphony pop concert program, but I am willing to make a cash bet that the audience would go overboard for the novelty.

It seems to me that it would be a good move for the orchestra to invite one of the doughboy singers to appear with it sometime. A pianist of the caliber of Pvt. Stanislaw Siok, who has studied at the New England conservatory at Boston, would find an appreciative audience at the Murat. . At any rate, I think we might pause for a moment and look at Mr. Sevitzky again.: I wonder what other symphonic conductor of his stature in American music would step off the classical podium to conduct a doughboy jive band? What other conductor could pull it off so well? Mr. Sevitzky was not condescending, stepping down or making a gesture. He was participating in an experiment which had the possibilities ‘of considerable musical appeal. He wanted the experiment to work. © And worked. oy A conductor who will do these things in that manner is a far cry from the unbending, temperamental stereotype which is too often the popular conception of a symphony orchestra conductor. I suspect that it is this kind of informality which men of true stature can afford that has made Mr.. Sevitzky such a stimulating influence in this community.

Young Concert Master Violin: Soloist Tomorrow At Pop Concert.

Fritz Siegal, talented young concert master of the Indianapolis symphony orchestra, will make his first appearance as soloist here at the symphony orchestra’s “pop” concert at 8:30 tomorrow night at the Murat theater. The - violinist will play the Bruch orchestra concerto, first performance of the work to be given here since. 1937. Finances prevented the symphony from playing Ravel's “Bolero” last spring, but this year, as Director Fabien Sevitzky promised, the orchestra will play the popular faverite. The occasion will be at tomorrow night's’ pop concert. The program includes the “Valse Triste” of Sibelius, the first movement of the Brahms fourth symphony, the “Russlan and Ludmilla” overture from Glinka’s opera and William Grant Still's descriptive poem, “Kaintuck.”

Hepburn Praises Them for New Patriotism.

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 (U. P.)— Actress Katharine Hepburn in an address yesterday said that the pre-Pearl Harbor woman was one whose “ideal was to be pale-faced, shadowy-eyed, scarlet of lip, bloody of nail, skinny of body, and em-

;anating of bosom.” Speaking at a lunchceon of the|:

business and professional women’s committee of the Russian war relief, Miss Hepburn compared the American woman of a year ago with the pioneer American woman and

took up arms in defense of her country, “What was the matter with us?” she said. “We were not in love. We didn’t know where we were going. In Russia the women have a great social ideal, something they feel strongly about. They are truly emancipated, but first and foremost they are passionataely in love with the system that gave them freedom. They are more like our pioneer women than we are.” Miss Hepburn said American women now were facing a new day, adding: “It’s morning, it’s early morning, and we have bedfellows— our allies, the Russians and the Chinese.”
