The temperamental Leginska,
who disappears now and then,
ranks with the greatest women
pianists of all time. AS con-
ductor she is equally eminent,
having ruled as guest with the
baton over such great musical
organizations as the London
Symphony, the Berlin and Mu-
Mich Philharmonic, New York
Philharmonic, and the st. Louis
Symphony. She is permanent
conductor of the Boston Phil
harmonic.
The orchestra which she will
bring to Washington is said to
be the first in this country,
whose complete personnel of so,
with the conductor, is entirely
composed of women musicians.
The latest phenomenon on
Broadway's passing stage is the
throng which hear and see stimuli

Mayor James J. Walker and
United States Senator Pat Har-
rison speak in behalf of the
Democratic candidate. At Broad
way and Forty-sixth Street there
is safety island capable of ac-
commodating crowd of 1000,
and the Democratic campaign
heads stage their continuous
free show upon a mammoth
sheet suspended from a build
ing. The orators can be heard
clearly above the roar of traffic.
1t is estimated that in the
course of night 10000 people
stand and watch this brief po-
litical show.
"Dracula," the weird mystery
thriller, which comes to the

Some interest having been
aroused as to the film history
of Walter Pidgeon, who plays
the male lead in MELODY Of
Love-" the all-talkie now on
view at the Rialto, I passed the
inquiries along to Corbin SHIELD,
generalissimo of the publicity
forces. He volunteers the in
formation that Mr.. Pidgeon is a
veteran of vaudeville and played
with Elsie Janis, both in the
two-a-day and i'll her Broadway
revue.
Tommy Dugan, who provides
the comedy relief in the picture,
is also a vaudeville graduate,

IGLEANINGS

BY Andrea r. Kelley

BY Andrew K. Kelley
Paul Whiteman is one who can
bless the arrival of the syn
chronized pictures. At least he
has been signed for some fabu-
lous sum to make a picture for
Universal and his band will be
featured. Paul is no Adonis as
far as features go and GER
tainly no Apollo as regards
shape. So it must be his music.
Which recalls that the la
mented Enrico Caruso was a
disastrous failure as movie
actor in the one feature picture
he made. What triumph he
might have scored had he lived
in a time when his glorious
voice could have been captured
as he acted for the camera.
The Rev. Jason Noble Pierce,
pastor of the First Congrega-
tional Church where President
Coolidge worships) writes that
Ethel Leginska and the Boston
Women's Symphony Orchestra
will be heard in concert recital
on Monday afternoon, Novem-
Der 5. The orchestra will also
give vesper program on Sum
day, November 4.
This congregation, with its dis
tinguished communicate, keeps
pace with the modern idea of
mingling clean, wholesome en-
tertainment with the various
church activities. For some
time they have been presenting
