"Powers Girl

“THE. POWERS GIRL” (Loew’s) is a combination leg and fashfon show, with Benny Goodman’s orchestra, George Murphy and a small plot thrown into make believe that it’s not an over-long short

subject.

If one is interested in such topics as practical clothes by Adrian, as demonstrated by Anne Shirley, and dimpled knees, as exhibited by ‘Carole Landis, this one will ring

the bell. Otherwise, the gong. Taking time ‘out from radio, Dennis Day was hired to sing a few songs. ‘The Goodman boys play and the jitterbugs cut up. What are known as the “Powers Long-Stemmed American -Beauties” (girls, not posies) ‘parade in fancy drape, but the public: is ably protected by the ever-watch-ful Hayes office. Mr, Murphy. takes the part of a carefree photographer with artistic leanings. He snaps a. picture of Schoolteacher Anne Shir-

.ley as a drunk carries her across

a mud puddle at the state fair. Fired by the school board when the picture appears on the cover of a national mag, Annie goes to visit her sister, Miss’ Landis, in New York. Miss Landis is simply dying to become a Powers model and sees a chance to finance herself into

modeldom by suing the maga-.

zine. Murphy, catches her on the way in to sea the editor, hustles

her out, makes her a Powers girl

and woos little Annie. Alan Mowbray takes the part of John Robert Powers, the model king. »

” 8 “AT THE FRONT,” the North African battle document, which started at the Indiana Wednesday, also is at ‘Loew’s. ‘Done in rich technicolor, this ‘40-minute film can be seen only at the above mentioned theaters this week. ® ” s

line a bill which includes a sextette of jugglers, a flock of trained birds and one smart horse. Mr. Lucas shows the younger generation how singing, troubador style, is done with “Tiptoe Through the Tulips,” a nice reminiscence from “The Gold Diggers of Broadway,” a top musical show in 1930.. : He ‘also sings a brace of current favorites, “Craziest Dream” and “I've Heard That Song Before” plus a modernized version of a song ‘called “Side by Side” which’ is a dandy. The jugglers are the Six Willys who. present an imposing tableau. One of the girls is a buxom ringer for Hedy Lamarr. Martin and Marvel, the ballroom dance team, hunt for mem-

them on the stage, but nobody bit at the second show. Too bad, it would have been fun. . Capt. William Heyer rides the horse, a black beauty, name of “Starless Night.” The horse dances in rhythm to Ed Resener’s band, The birds are operated by Jack Lane who puis them through a series of paces.. It’s a refreshing wildlife act and the birds are well behaved. Master of ceremonies is Frank Payne, a good mimic, who carries on a long act without tiring anybody. He specializes in humor, both new and second hand, and mimics a raft of .screen and radio personalities. On the screen is “Flying With Music,” with Marjorie Woodworth, George Givot and William Mar-

Estrella’ Turns: Program. Into ‘Major Event.

- A pop concert is not supposed to be a major musical event. . But last night's was. It introduced an exceedingly gifted good neighbor of ours,

Janeiro, Brazil. He appeared as soloist with the Indianapolis symphony orchestra. He proceeded to smash all precedent by-playing two encores. : He returned to the stage in response to round after round of insistent applause and sat down again at the piano. It was apparent. to him that was what the" audience wanted him to: do. : This artist does not speak our language, but he . understands us well. His encore selections were delightful. . -I-can think of no other soloist who has appeared here this season who has won his audience so completely. Mr. Esirelle’s ‘programmed work

piano concerto of Radames Gnattali who also hails from Brazil. In a little speech at the outset, Conductor Fabien Sevitzky asked the audience not to judge this work upon first hearing, although when it will be heard again in these

He said it was very modern. The word “modern” when applied’ to music. scares a. lot of people. It tends to make them shut their] ears and their minds, because so much junk has been composed and played in the name of modernity, and always with the challenge that if you don’t like it, you are an oldfashioned stupe, a musical bigot or an intolerant stuffed shirt. ” 2 #

MR. SEVITZKY reiterated his plea Saturday night for tolerance toward new works which the orchestra is in the habit of playing. It is a plea that stems from some local opposition to the inclusion of modern music onthe program. The plea is one that could go too far in :both directions. I don’t think it altogether fair to ask an audience to withhold judgment in this instance, for the ' Gnattali concerto obviously Will not be heard again here this season. On the other hand, I think it is ‘la fine thing Mr. Sevitzky does in giving us the opportunity to hear contemporary works. One is not obligated to like any or all of them, but they are always good news. I think he should carry this policy a little further to include new major symphonies, like the fifth symphony of Roy Harris, on his programs. I don’t think there is anything

theme: — piano after : Bans or 50. ‘The second movement grow: out of the first without any break and contains a beautiful melody which the piano presente attractively. In the third ‘movement, the first and second’ themes are combined and the piano gets hot. It ends rather quietly. This . is ‘a rough-and-ready description from first hearing, but one hearing ought to be enough to establish that the concerto is rich and vigorous, filled with moments of power and beauty, and certainly in the groove. Mr. Estrella is a smooth, capable and precise artist who plays sincerely and with a finely polished technique. His encores were two pieces . by Villa Lobos, “Impressions” and “High Tide.” This latter is skort and neat. The. Brazilian pianist is touring this country as the winner of the Columbia Concerts award. He made his American debut with the New York Philharmonic-symphony orchestra Feb. 7 and has played with the Washington, ' Cincinnati and Minneapolis orchestras. Mr. Sevitzky directed ‘the splendid ' Indianapolis symphonic choir in a group of songs, “Deep River,” “Nights of Spring” and “Bells,” and Mr. Sevitzky's paraphrase of Verdi’s “Aida.” . Orchestral numbers were the overture to “Mignon” by Thomas, two parts of ' the “Scheherazade” suite of Rimsky-Korsakov, and a group of Victor Herbert pieces from “The Fortune Teller.” —RICHARD LEWIS.
