The great pilgrim chorus" from
the Ukraine, which has now toured
three continents on it's crusade Of
song, has returned to the United
States for a third season.
It's singers are bit honfesick. hav-
ing journeyed for three years through
Western Europe, and for the past
year through the United States,
Mexico, Cuba and South America.
They bear their message of song from
nation to nation, making each country
acquainted with it's oWn and one an
others native music, and interpreting
to them all the picturesque and
hitherto unknown life of the Ukraine
through the medium of rich treasures
of folk songs.
The coming Of the Ukrainian Ma
tional Chorus to America, four years
ago, was as epoch making as the pre-
vious advent of the Ballet Russo in
this country. 1t brought something
new in art, namely, remarkable "a
capella" singing, In which parts are
interviewer and balanced in harmony,
as in an orchestra.
Another element in the unique
charm of this body of singers Is their
marvellous unanimity. The conductor.
Alexander KoShetZ. seems to weave a
spell over their personalities, trans
forming them into a perfect ensemble.
In their response to his slightest ges-
ture, they resemble a symphony or.
chestra. Their attack and niceness OF
shading have evoked universal admira-
ton.
The chorus will give a single per-
formance here next Sunday at the
Washington Auditorium.
In conjunction with the choral pro.
gram will be delightful offerings Of
the brilliant young American violinist.
Max Poliakoff.
The program will begin at $50 pm.

Supplies Reptiles.

HOLLYWOOD, October 16 @.-
L Lizards or snakes from the
parched desert sands; pythons from
the tungles of South America. and all
manner of insects that infest the
woods are not uncommon in the sup
porting cast of modern movies.
Jack Altman. reptile curator ex-
traordinary, furnishes the usual or
the unusual in these lines on short
notice from the studio managers.
Whether it he the elusive cockroach,
needed to complete a scene In a
lunchroom. or a 3O-foot alligator as
background for a jungle picture. All.
man takes his stock or makes use OF
his 80 years experience as A student
of the wild to go out into the desert
or mountains to get them.
Included In the weird list Of crawl
Ing or flying things which the curator
supplies the studios are ants, wood
ticks. centipedes. bats, turtles. taran-
tulas. frogs, lizards. horned toads,
grave robbers, Chinese dragons. Gila
monsters, fguanas and dozens of diff
ferent kinds of snakes.
Allman's speciality, however. Is rat
tlesnakes. When he receives a rush
order from a studio for a certain type
of rattler with certain number of
rattles. he looks over his troup, and IL
none fits the order he proceeds to
make one UP.
For instance. sudio manager or
dered a 13-rattled rattler. It was
needed In a picture built around the
so-called unlucky number 13. The
nearest Altman could come TO Il was
q seven-rattler. So he got out his sup
ply of extra rattles and soaked them
i,, toy. %
the seventh rattle on the snakes tail
had likewise been softened. he slipped
on the extra six rattles and delivered
the 13-rattler on time.
In case the deserts or mountains oe
California do not provide the kind of
specimens wanted. Altman gets them
from the zoo or from importers.
