STAGE AND SCREEN

! To get q fair cross section of the opinion of the theater-going public
 on thcater questions one has but to
 sit quietly in almost any place and
 listen 10 the comments on all sides. If the theater managers did that too, many times might hear things that
 would be of great value 10 them in providing what the patron wants
 and avoiding what they do not want. Especial attention this wcek-al-
 though it is no different from any week and no one theater is a particu- lar offender--has been directed 10
 'hn policy of taking up collections, Of listening to unintercsting three minute speeches and of being com
 pellcd 10 read advertisements flash
 cd on the screen.
 Many people resent having the show or picture interrupted while
 the young ladies pass up the aisle to take your contribution" Many re- sent going 10 thcater and having 10 listen to a talk on how worthwhile it is to give generously, etc. Of course the theatcr managers cannot always gracefully avoid these things. But there is another thing that many object to, and that is having 10 sit for several minutes and read purely business advertisements. II certainly is boring 10 be compelled to read that I}la-Bla and company have the best gimracks at the lowest prices and that For the latest styles one must 20 to Ho-Hums. When patron buys his ticket 10 sec q show he generally wants 10 zee what he went in to see and rcsents being forced to look nj some com mercial ads, If he is looking for bar rains etc. he knows where the stores are, or where 10 look for advertise mcnts.
 HoWevcr,--thrre is no doubt that the theatcr managers have their hearts and hands full trying to cater to the demands of the dear pocpul" and there also is no doubt but what local managers are just as thought full as any anywhere. and a great deal more so than in many places,
 This is shown by inc high grade iypo of pictures being brought here and the celcrity with which they are Looked. For instance Harold Lloyd in "For Heavens Sake" which open cd at the Rivoli in New York this past week doing record breaking business with 10 shows q day, comes 10 the Capitol for four days start ing tomorrow night; and over at the l.yceum the famous John Barrymore in The Sea R"ast," which still is running 10 capacity houses on Broad way, is 10 be presented soon.

SPOKEN SONG WINS
PRAISE At CONCERT
Pan-American Unions Latin
American Program Is
Well Received.

At the Pan-American Union pro
gram which was broadcasted last
night via WRC and which was
attended in the buildings patio by a
group from the diplomatic corps In
Washington as well as interested
local musicians, an unusual feature
was the presentation of a Spoken
Song" by Mrs. Gideon A. Lyon, well
known as member Of the Arts Club
Of this city. The work was entitled
'Springtime," and was an English
translation Of a poem by the famous
Latin American poet. Ruben Dario
The poet died only a short time ago
in Nicaragua but his poems are said
to be well known all over the
Spanish-speaking world.
Additional interest in this work was
lent by the fact that the composer of
the remarkably original musical set
ting for this Spoken Song is Rafael
A. Castillo, who is living in Washing
ton. The music, written for an orches-
ira Of eight violins, two flutes, two
oboes, two clarinets and two horns,
provided a charming and atmospheric
setting for the verses which Mrs.
Lyons read in her well modulated low
tones, with dignity and dramatic en-
phasis. The composer was among
those present.
Another unique feature VOC me sing

ment by the United States Army Band.
under Master Sergt. Theodore Bingert.
1t was received with marked en-
thuSiasm.
Mr.. Papas played a group of solo
numbers that included a particularly
haunting air from Peru. doubtless
owing much of it's unusualness to
Inca origin, which Mr.. Papas ar
ranged. He also played a Cuban
number, a typical Spanish habanera
in tempo and theme, and later gave
a. Chopin prelude in c minor and
Massenet's "Elegie."
La Sale Spier, well known local
pianiste, played an unusual group of
Haitian. Argentinian and Peruvian
airs.

Guy c. Caldwell Shows Fallacy of
Some Popular Tales Concern
ing Rattlesnakes.

At Central High School last night
ploded when Guy C. Caldwell. guide
in Rocky Mountain National Park.
showed pictures to members of the
American Nature Association.
In moving pictures Mr.. Caldwell
showed that the old story about the
road runner, a curious Western bird,
killing a rattlesnake by building a
| wall of cactus pads about the snake Is
not true. Mr.. Caldwell built the wall
himself and showed movies of the
snake going through the spines of the
cactus. He put this yarn in the same
class with the one about rope lariat
stopping a snake. The biggest rattlers
are In Texas according to Mr.. Cald-
WE'LL He never saw any in the
Rocky Mountains.
Mr.. Caldwell showed pictures Of his
climb up the east face of Long Peak,
Colo. 1t was during her attempt to
make the same climb in January,
1925, that Agnes Vail, secretary of the
Denver Chamber of Commerce, lost
her life. The first time this climb
was made was in 1922 by Prof. Alex
ander of Princeton. The ascent is
considered one of the hardest on this
continent.
Mr.. Caldwell showed some remark
able examples of direct color photog-
raphy called autochromes Of Rocky
Mountain wild flowers. He has the
finest collection of such photographs
in existence. The guide gave Summer
campers a good tip on how to hang
Navy hammock 60 feet up in tree to
get above the mosquito belt in the
Summer time. Mr.. Caldwell cautioned
his audience not to try the stunt with
an ordinary hammock.

MRS. BUTLER SINGS
WELL IN MUSICAL
Comes From Boston to A.
pear in Benefit Affair
for Refugees.

Mrs. Morgan Butler, gifted daugh-
ter-in-law of Senator William M. But
Ter Of Massachusetts,, came especially
from Boston to give her services and
those of her accompanist, James
Ecker, for the benefit musical for the
Baroness Olga Wrangle Fund at
Rauscher's last night. Those present
seemed most appreciative of Mrs. But
Ier's selections as we'll as of those by
the trio of other musicians, Elena de
Savn, violinist; Herman Sevely. cellist.
and Mrs. c. r. Chindblom. wife of
Representative Chindblom of Illinois.
The fund is for refugee hospitals in
R::ssia and Serbia.
s7-~~ Butler undoubtedly sang most
brilliantly in the lovely "Cavatina"
and the Jewel Song" from Gounod S
Faust" Hers is a dramatic voice,
Her group of modern songs also stood
out The simplicity and beauty of
Rasmach's Trees" using as a lyric
Joyce Kilmer's poem, were especially
suited to Mrs. Buffers voice and her
enunciaeion and emphasis were de-
lightful.
Like Nine. Schumann-Heink
Her phrasing of this song was not
unlike that of Nine. Schumann Heink.
The French songs, Faure's LES
Roes dIspahan" and Foudrain's vivid
"Carnaval' were given individuality.
Mrs. Butler sang Mozart's ''Voi che
sapete" with good style, but the Gou-
nod air was more suited to her dra-
matte and vocal talents. Winter
Watts shepherd Song" was an in
teresting encore to the first group.
Her last encore was Maud Whites
"ro Spring." in which she played her
own accompaniment.
The trio played the beautiful
Brahms trio as the opening number
OF the program. They achieved some
moments Of beauty with the rich
wealth of melody and musicianly de-
sign in this work. Their work in the
Charles Wakefield Cadman trio was
much more effective.
The pizzicato work of the cello fol-
lowing the solo passages for the violin
stood out particularly well, and the
Debussy-like bell tones for the piano,
probably suggested by the tolling Of
mission bells in Mr.. Cadman's beloved
California, introduced lovely theme.
Syncopated Rhythms.
The second part, "Vivace Energico,"
was filled with sly. syncopated
rhvthms that were most attractive.
MISS lie Sdyn also pidyeu lWo Solp
numbers, a Chopin nocturne and an
unusual mazurka by ZarZycki. Her
tone in the latter was especially good.
The swiftness of many of the flights
of notes in the nocturne were a severe
test.
The entire program had many fine
compositions that were given good in
corporations, and a member of the
committee in charge of the fund an
nounced that more than 81 100 already
had been made for the fund and it was
probable that the desired 81 200 would
be achieved. H. F.

ticular stress was laid on the antiquity
