Martens Announces a New Season * THE CURRENT Martens series of artist attractions closed last night at English’s on the booming, bass notes of Alexander Kipnis, Russian-American singer, and a new season was announced. The moment was the right one. Mr. Kipnis put the subscribers into the
mood for more of the same.
The 1943-44 season will bring “Faust” in October; Zino Francescatti, French violinist,
in Novem-
ber; ballet in December; Rudolph Serkin, pianist, in February, and Grace Moore, soprano, in March. Both Mr. Francescatti and Mr. Serkin made themselves welcome here when they appeared with the Indianapolis symphony orchestra,
Mr. Francescatti Feb. and Mr, Serkin Nov.
20 and 21, 21 and 22.
“Faust” will ba presented by a traveling opera company with full
orchestra.
Mr. Kipnis’ appearance was a grand finale for.the current series
which has brought talent throughout.
impeccable
The first half of his program was on the sombre side. He sang
two heavily dramatic
arias from
Verdi operas, “Don Carlos” and “Simone Boccanegra”; four serious songs which Brahms composed on the death of Clara Schumann and the waltz scene from “Rosen-
kavalier” by Strauss.
Following the funeral arias and the dirge-like songs of Brahms, the audience was so delighted with the singer's impersonation of the amorous, old nobleman in the “Rosenkavalier” waltz scene,
that it clamored for
the same light touch.

and proceeded to enact the serenade from “Faust” with appropriate mephistophelean glee. The second half included a series of songs, “The Cloths of Heaven,” Dunhill; “Into the Night,” Morgan; “Little Jack Horner,” Diack; “Be Blessed, Forests and Meadows,” Tchaikovsky. “As the King Went Forth to War,” a great favorite of the singer, and the death scene from “Boris Godounoff” which demonstrated the amazing power and vibrance of his voice. Mr. Kipnis won the immediate appreciation of his audience by explaining the content of the arias and the Brahms songs before he sang them. An occasional excursion into the earthy Russian folk songs of which he is one of the foremost interpreters or a sea chantey would have lightened up the evening a good deal. However, the sombre effect of the program was alleviated by the singer's recognition of its heaviness. He told the audience with a grin that the “Boccanegra” aria was not the gayest one in the literature, which was somewhat of an understatement. Mr. Kipnis' singing. in any mood, however, is an event. 2 ” "
'Air Force' : BREAKING AHEAD of selieds ule, Warner Bros. “Air Force” opens at the Indiana . tomorrow for its Midwest premiere. Patterned after the British “In Which We Serve,” which was the story of a destroyer, “Air Force” is the saga of a B-17 bomber named the “Mary Ann.” It was screened here for promotion purposes over the weekend and those who saw it discovered that its succession of climaxes which occur about every three minutes and miraculous battle’ photography didn’t permit them to think about anything else during the two hours men fought and died on the screen. There are spots where the photography is sensational. The film has no star. John Garfield and Harry Carey are the best known names in the cast which includes some good newcomers. Like theatergoers downtown, those who attended the screening Saturday night were caught in the unplanned blackout into which the downtown area was thrown by the Kentucky ave. sewer 'gas explosion. At the Indiana theater, Manager Leonard Tuttle reported as fine an audience behavior in the emergency as he has ever witnessed in his experience. “They were marvelous,” he said. “There wasn't a hint of panic when the lights went out and some folks from the audience came up on the stage and helped lead them all in community singing. Most of the folks stayed in their seats until the lights came on at 11 p. m. and we went on with the show. “We said at first that it was ~ & surprise. blackout, but when it continued and we learned the situation, we broke it to the audience. The way they took it . well . , . it made you feel proud to live in the same community with those folks.”
