Time Again to Pass the Hat "THE STANDARD definition of a major symphony orchestra is

one whose budget exceeds $100,000 annually and whose expected outgo

gbout' mid-season invariably looms larger than anticipated income.

The Indianapolis symphony is a

major - symphony. It meets these

requirements both as to budget size and financial uncertainty.

At the moment, the financial

position of most major orchestras in the United States, including “our own, is none.too secure. In our case, gas rationing has cut down attendance from .outside Indianapolis to the vanishing point. - Transportation difficulties forced the orchestra to cancel its Eastern tour last month. It

hoped to make some money on

that tour. ; Now comes the ever resourceful women’s committee of the ore chestra with a hat-passing plan which is virtually painless. The plan was announced last night at the pop concert by Mrs. Easley R. Blackwood who is in charge of symphony aid parties which the committee’s ways and means committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Jack Goodman, has devised. Symphony aid Parties may ‘be given in January by any sym-

' phony supporter who wishes to

aid the orchestra and get some fun and funds out of doing it. The more guests the merrier, for each guest is to be taxed 50 cents for coming . . . the proceeds to go to the orchestra. Persons who wish to go to bat for the orchestra by giving the aid parties are invited to call the executive secretary of the wom-en’s-committee, Marion Hull, who will furnish details. 2 A Hoosier who has just returned from Detroit reports that a bunch of people up there are pretty disillutioned because the Detroit symphony isn’t able to give concerts this season. The usual trouble, finances, Only thing the orchestra can do.is broadcast occasionally. Let's not have any possibility of that happening here. : 2 8 » HIGHLIGHT of last night's pop concert at Murat theater was the debut of Fritz .Siegal, newly acquired concert master of the orchestra, as soloist here. He played Max Bruch’s dynamic concerto in G mines for violin with assured, technical skill. The concerto appeared to be loaded with technical fireworks and its performance showed off Xhe orchestra’s new acquistion as effectively as though he'd walked the slack wire. hope we may hear more solo performances from Mr. Siegal. Glinka’s “Russlan and Ludmilla” overture, which Lieut. Frank Miner, formerly symphony business manager made popular with units of the U. S$. navy last spring, opened the program. Lieut. Miner jook the orchestra’s recording of the overture to sea with him and won a new crop of symphonic supporters among the officers and men. " The orchestra played the first movement of the Brahms fourth symphony; repeated William Grant Sfill’'s “Kaintuck” and did a swell job on “Valse Triste.” As he promised last spring, Director Fabien Sevitzky played Ravel’'s “Bolero” which gives the percussion section of the orchestra such good exercise. When the audience showed no disposition to leave, Mr. Sevitzky gave them an encore.

reporter representing an Alaskan newspaper circulating among army personnel has been in town gathering news of special interest to her

readers. “And she came up to me,” reported Miss Rosemary Lane today, “and said they had given her several questions to ask movie actresses. Embarrassing questions, she said. I said, “shoot.” “So she asked me whether I slept in pajamas and whether I locked my door at night and did I keep my window open or shut, and where was my bed placed? I answered all those. Then she said she had one more question: Did I neck? “I told her to wait a minute while I conferred with Joe E. Brown. He told me to tell her I never necked except with members of the army, the air force, the navy, the coast guard and the marine corps.”

FARM GROUP ASKS OPA INVESTIGATION

CHICAGO, Dec. 11 (U.

There Are Acrobats, Ventriloquist, Singer at Keith's, Too.

KEITH'S VAUDEVILLE show this week presents Dick and Dot Remy in as fair an act of clowning knockabout as has come this way in some time. Dot particularly is something to watch, all 200 pounds of her. Built along the ‘general proportions of a blimp, Dot is as: agile as they come. It's a brother-sister act which capitalizes on Dot’s phenomenal ability to throw her weight around. The Briants, a couple of tramp

a furniture moving act. M. C. is Gene Emerald whose pantomime is fairly drawn out. Accompanying himself on the guitar, he sings some

The show presents Chris Cross, a good ventriloquist with amazing flexibility of voice, and Margaret Faber’s “Wonderettes,” a mediocre dance sextette. The film is “Danger In the Pacific,” another product of the pic-ture-a-week gang, Leo Carillo, Andy Devine and Don Terry.

GUNNER FIRES OVER BODY OF DEAD PAL

A UNITED ATES AIRBASE IN NORTH AFRICA, Dec. 11 (U. P.)—~The pilot of an American bomber: said today that one of his crewmen knelt over a-tlead buddy and fired round after round into attacking enemy planes. Lieut. Wesley A. Woolradge of Altoona, Pa., said the. incident occurred while he was piloting an army B-26 (Martin Marauder) on a bombing expedition over German and Italian bases at Gabes. When the flight had reached the designated area, Woolradge said, they were met with an anti-aircraft barrage and a group of Messerschmitt fighters... One of the antiaircraft shells hit the plane, killing the tail-gunner. Woolradge sent Frank Cox, another Pennsylvanian, back to see what was wrong. “It took guts for him to kneel back there and keep fighting,” Woolradge said. “The boys were like brothers.”

FALL RIVER, Mass, Dec. 11 (U. P.).—Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt denied last night that she had ever discussed naval affairs or naval losses with Mayor Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles. Bowron, in a speech at Los Angeles yesterday, said Mrs. Roosevelt, two days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, told him the United States had lost six battleships. “How could I have possibly told him that when no one knew at that time exactly what had happened?” she said. “No “one, not even the president, had the faintest idea of what we had lost. At that time none of us was sure of anything.”
