Maybe Romberg Got the Spaghetti

SIGMUND ROMBERG and his merry musicians whose concert of light classics has been snowballing over the country with considerable

success played & one night stand at Murat theater last.

a packed house,

night ‘before

In fact, the only vacant seat I could ses after intermission was mine. 1 got locked in backstage and couldn’s get out.

“Rommy” was to work for had to go on stage, so I turned back through the corridor and finally found en unlocked door. I went through it and found myself out on the street. So I went home. I never did get to hear Marie Nash and Gene Marvey who came on in the second half, but I understand the audience was delighted with them. Also, “Rommy” made a speech about -light classics in general. So I hear. “Anyway, I can report on the first half of the concert and also

the fact that Romberg has a new

operetta in the mill. He thinks he'll have it done by fall, if he has any money left after this concert tour. : o # n

Writes Operetta

I FIGURED Mr, Romberg was cleaning up by that happy, almost beatific, expression on his face as he conducted the 40-piece orchestra in an informal sort of way. . Nobody who is losing his

.shirt could look that happy.

But he denied that he had found a gold mine. Expenses were running pretty high, he

.sald, with a fafalistic shrug. The

tour isn’t over yet. Tonight, St. Louis. The new operetta is.called “Miss Tambouritza.” The tambouritza, Romberg explained, is a Serbian instrument Hke a banjo. “This is a Serbian girl who is finishing . finishing school Switzerland,” Romberg explained casually. “So we call it ‘Miss Tambouritza.’ Otherwise, it would be ‘Tambouritza.’ ” He smiled and I didn’t get it. Anyway, the operetta is modern. If deals with the resistance of the Chetniks, the Jugoslav people’s army, which is putting up such a magnificent fight against Hitler's occupying hi t g=

The plot? Rommy made a gesture with his hands, ging his shoulders: “A boy and a girl,” he said. “The boy saves the girl and the girl saves the boy and everything ends vegy happy.” I don’t think plots bother Mr. Romberg much. He also has his “Sunny River” going in London. This was done two years ago in St. Louis. It didn’t go very well in New York, Romberg has hopes for it in London. He didn't give any particular reason for starting this tour which is something different. He just got the musicians and soloists together and started out. Now he thinks he’s started something.

2 More to Follow

“THERE WILL be many of these orchestras,” he predicted. “Not Sigmund Romberg orchestras, no. It’s coming back. They still like the old songs. “Listen. When I am on the stage, I look around, so what do I see? - Two old folks holding hands while I am playing the wedding march. “Do you know there is no orchestra today to play this kind of music? There is symphony or boogie-woogie;, Romberg, Lehar, Herbert, the rest, there is none to play them. “So we play it and the people like it. Other orchestras will follow.” Romberg himself made all the arrangements for his two and one-half hour program and from

in a light vein, the arrangements are excellent, So is the orckestra. There is nothing subtle about the way it throws marches, love

heavier composers at you. The opening number is a good example of what Romberg does. It’s titled simply: “Tchaikowsky It’s some selection. It ranges all the way from the “Nutcracker Suite” through the B-flat minor concerto and winds up on the crashing finale of the “1812” overture. It was sort of a quick trip through Tchaikowsky in 10 min-

Then they played some songs by Mr. Romberg’s competitors—

second half of the concert was: devoted to Romberg melodies, a round dozen of them, with the - soloists pitching in. Everybody seemed to enjoy the music, but Romberg, he was positively enraptured by it. You never saw a more delighted looking conductoY. He looks a good deal like Hugh Herbert of the movies and has a habit of turning around and nodding and smiling at the audience knowingly, as if to say: “Tis is good, isn’t it?” I hope Romberg got the spaghetti Miss Panvini promised him. He deserved if.

James Powers, Comedian, Dies

NEW YORK, Feb. 10 (U. P.).— James T. Powers, 81, comedian, light opera singer and matinee idol of his day, died today in his Broadway hotel apartment. Powers, known as “Jimmy” to theater patrons during his 55 years on the stage, had been in ill health

| since. completing his autobiography,

“Twinkle Little Star,” in 1939. At his bedside was his wife, the former Rachel Booth, who was a distinguished actress in an earlier era. They celebrated their golden wedding anniversary last May 19. Powers, a native New Yorker, organized his own minstrel company when he was 17 and soon established himself as a comedian. His

Acers in “The Rivals,” in which he toured the United States with Mrs. Fiske, Marie Dressler and Wallace Beery were among members of one of his earlier companies. His most recent appearance was with the late George M. Cohan'in “Seven Keys to Baldpate.”

“My about Greer Garson in

That leaves the argument, insofar as you are concerned, between Peresa Wright and Greer Garson. And Miss Garson gets your nod, because her movie had a wider appeal than Miss Wright's. Picking the best actor is no cinch, either, There’s James Cagney in “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and Ronald Colman in “Random Harvest.” There's Gary Cooper in “The Pride of the Yankees” Walter Pidgeon in “Mrs. Miniver” and Monty Woolley in “The Pied Piper.”

Musicals Also Handicapped

You'll scratch out Pidgeon’s name because you've already chosen Miss Garson from “Mrs. Miniver” and

you want to spread the honors

around. You'll skip Mons. Woolley, because you still don’t know exactly what went on behind those whiskers, even though you did enjoy his performance. You'll probably give the go-by to Cagney, too, because his show was a musical arid they're like comedies when the balloting gets serious. That leaves Colman and Cooper. And now you stuck. You'll toss

la coin and either way youll make

a good choice. Then you’ll go to work on the best picture, You'll give that one to “Mrs. Miniver” without too much argument with yourself, though there are nine excellent contenders.

Picking the best director willl

stump you. You can’t give the award to William Wyler for “Mrs.

Miniver” . because that picture already has two of your ballots and

you figure that’s enough. Yowll

think about “Kings Row,” “Random Harvest,”

“Wake Island” and “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” And you'll

hand your ticket to Sam Wood for

“Kings Row,” who turned the sordid

novel into a beautiful and moving

For best supporting actor you can

narrow your choice immediately to
