Quite apart from musical values, it's something to wateh Mr. Kurtz play notes that just don’t exist on the cello—his left hand about a quarter of an inch from the bow, playing way up in the high fiddle range, Dr. Bevitzky Speaks The BaMt-Saens and the Tchal= kovsky, both delightful, were warmly received by the audience.

Toss Curves At City Desk

New Idea Tried Out by Film + Press Agents.

There's always a something new This time the promoter who “thunk it up” threw curves. He must have been an ex-city editor, thereby knowing the weaknesses of his clan. Ahyway, the advance press agents of David O. Selznick’'s “Duel in the Sun” are getting a warm reception from eity editors so used to reading copy on run-of-the-mine news. Former newspaper women, and Power's models to boot, are the advance agents. Miss Florence Pritchett has the Mid-West run. And while she admits the receptions are warm, the life of a traveling press agent is no bed of roses. Stops Are Brief Hitting the road alone, Miss Pritchett juggles six suitcases, a typewriter, a hat box, a make-up kit and a saddle-bag filled with publiéity material. The net result to date, after being on the road since Jan. 20, is a full eargo of soiled clothes. She doesn't stop “long enough in one place to get service. 80 every night the Power’ s model

A jam-packed house at the Murat last night got ‘huge laughs out of “Maid in the Omarks.” « That says more about the audience than about the play. It certainly must, because there's very little to say about the play. No use being too severe and high« hat. A lot of people like burleycue, but don't dare go to burlesque because burlesques aren't respectable. A lot of people get a kick out of hearing “damn” and “hell” in stage dialog, if only because those and similar words are sterilized out of movies. Respectability and censors ship and a confusion of ideas.lead people to find huge amusement in the dramatic’ depiction of crudity

Maybe people need to see on the stage some approximation to the earthy stories we all hear. But I want to raise my native Pennsylvania volce against this slanderous treatment of Arkansas hillbillies. “Tobacco Road,” . which theater atidiences gleefully accepted as a portrayal of life beneath them ahd hérce fair game for cruelly derisive. laughter, had some structure, some logic. “Maid in the Ozarks” has nothing.

Let's put it this way: no family—and | let's not forget what the term implies—would act that way. Even in the Ozarks, the current Murat theater family would be placed in a benevolent institution.
