oward Harrington, manager of the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, and I shouldn't have lighted the fuse on the conductor's stack after a hard day of auditioning. But, every cloud is supposed to have a silver lining and that day we decided to be silversmiths There's no reason why a man shouldn't end a nerve-wracking day with a laugh. Laughter 1s good for the soul. If you're not a symphony player or haven't auditioned for a position with a ‘major orchestra or have as much time to fool around as I have, chances are you don’t know how, tough an audition can be, Tough. i A good example was what happened the other day at the annual “examination for admission” session for the Indianapolis Symphony. Taking time off from my many pressing activities (don’t have a nylon shirt to my name), I popped into Wilking’s auditorium, Dr. Sevitzky was up to his ears In musicians,

Applicants Come From Afar

MR. HARRINGTON said applicants had reported from every sectiod of the country. A woman and her French horn came from Cleve: land. There was a ‘trombone player from Detroit. Oklahoma City was represented by a trumpet player and others came from Ann Arbor, Mich., Braddock, Pa., Erie, Pa. Corpus Christi Tex., Meridian, Miss. and you can't overlook the many fine musicians from Indianapolis and other cities of the state,

‘Dies of Hunger’

~ WASHINGTON, Apr. 28 It pleases me to learn that the citadel of culture in this capital of the world, is the old and musty Gayety Theater, home of burlesque since the century’s adolescence The Gayety is refurbished, now, and housing such things as “Streetcar Named Desire,” and playing to audiences which are comprised of both white people and black people. The. other citadel of culture, the National The ater, is still closed, because in this pattern for the rest of the world's behavior, they were unable to resolve the problem of whether art was purchasable to all free people who wished to attend a lay. ~ P This also being the town in which Miss Marian Anderson was not allowed to sing in the DAR tion Hall Hansen locale of tossed torso and the vulgar joke, has showed the cultural path to its social betters. To date no race riots or other unpleasantness have resulted from the Gayety’'s pioneering.

What finally killed burlesque in Washington—and is slowly slaying it around the rest of the country —-is economics, not morality.

Dies Strictly From Hunger

“BURLESQUE,” says Mr. James Lake, an ancient impresario of the flaunted chest measurement, “died strictly from hunger. We are doing a $4500-$5500 business every week, and losing a grand a week for 17 weeks. In the old days if 1 do four G's a week I just go to make two thousand for me. Now you lose money.” The cost of living and the unions, according to Mr. Lake, have driven the burleycue into the snow. " “You cannot,” he says, “tour a company of 50 to 75 people any more and show a profit on a 50cent top admission, even if you pack your joint. The hotel room that used to cost 12 bucks a week is up to 30. The 50-cent meal is dead and buried. Transportation costs more, _ “Stagehands and musicians and carpenters and

WASHINGTON, Apr. 28 My tale today about the waiter putting his thumb in my shrimp soup has nothing much to do with national affairs; the wonder was he didn't pour it down my neck. So: An old friend of the family, name of Virginia Kellogg, was passing through and_I had lunch with her at one of those fancy places with shiny silver, flowers, and dignified waiters .in clawhammer coats. ’ Miss K., who used to be a newspaper reporter, herself, was a handsome white-haired woman in a handsome gray-colored suit. She took a seat, spread her napkin on her lap, and, just as the soup was arriving, snapped open her red leather purse. She extracted therefrom a small, blueblack revolve : ’
