IN contrast with other prisons under
Federal jurisdiction, the District Of
Columbia Jail today housed popula-
ton only slightly more than two-thirds
normal capacity. There were approx
mately 400 inmates, with accommoda-
tons for 800.
This fact was regarded by Mai. Will

Jail, as substantiating the opinion held
generally by prison officials that over
crowded conditions and consequent idle
ness among prisoners lead to disturb

in several prisons. There have been

Connie to

Orchestra Opens Stay at
the Indiana Roof
Ballroom.

INDIANAPOLIS has long had the
Il reputation for being a lover of
home talent, and for this reason
Tom Devine, manager of the Indi-
ana Roof ballroom, makes the an
nOunCement that he is to feature
for the dancers of this city an or
cheStra that is ever popular with
them. namely Connie and his band.
Devine states that Connie and
his band will furnish an abundance
of hot-sWeet rhythm that will meet
the demands for a Camel Glide
tempo, as this dance creation of the
Indiana Roof is retaining its popu-
larity with the dancers and gives
promise of holding q permanent
place among the different types of
ballroom dances. He also states
that Comics band is sure to re-
ceive much favorable comment from
the dancing public, as their pro-
grams never fail to please even the
most severe critic.
Devine states that Connie has g.
very talented and versatile aggre-
cation, and this might be proven
by the fact that for a time this
band lost its identity while record
ing under the name of Charley
Straight, as a Victor recording Or
CheStra.

possesses ability, plus rhythm to
burn and a likeable personality that
never fails to get over with the
dancers. Thurston Spangler and
Henry CPenrod) Watkins are the
other members of a trio which will,
according to Devine. give Indian
apolis dancers something to talk
about.
Connie and his band have COM
pleted a tour through Indiana. Ohio,
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, PennSyl-
vania and New York and will play
a three weeks engagement at the
Indiana roof ballroom starting Sat-
urday, April 6.
This orchestra will be heard over

Final Symphony Event of
Season to Be Held
Monday.

THE third and last concert of
a the indianapolis Symphony
Society's seventh annual season will
be given next Monday evening at
the Murat, when the Cincinnati
Symphony orchestra of los men
with Fritz Reiner conducting will
present an unusual program of
classic and modern works.
The program which the Cincin-
natl Symphony orchestra will play
will include a new composition by
Ottorino Respighi, famous Italian
composer, called The Birds
Reiner is known in the United
States for the immense popularity
Of his suites. THE Pines Of Rome
The Fountains of Rome Church
Windows and airs for the Lutte"
arranged for modern orchestra. His
latest composition, which was given
its first performance in the United
States this fall in Cincinnati, COM
bines the elements Of his previous
work in graceful and pleasant form
Respighi is a scholar. He has IN
terested himself in tho historical
foundations of the music OF the
last three centuries and has been
able to bring to light compositions
from the fifteenth and sixteenth
centuries which are little known,
but which have great individuality
and charm.
His Airs for the Lutte" was an
important step in bringing to the
modern orchestra the literature OF
the pre-claSsical period. At the same
time. ReSpighi has been intensely
interested in presenting in musical
form his impressions of the modern
world. He created a sensation two
years ago by instructing orcheStras
that-his suite. The Pines of Rome"
was to be played with a phono-
graphic record of the nightingale'S
song. 1t is a far cry from fifteenth
century Airs for the Lutte to the
modern talking machine. but
Respighi bridged the gap.
His latest composition, the suite,
The Birds" combines these two
elements in a marked degree. It
endeayors to present in the most
modern form what is called a pro-
gram He represents in the Or
chestra the actual sound Of the
doves, the hen, the nightingale and
the cuckoo.
Moreover, the Italian is not afraid
of humor in the orchestra, and the
section of this composition called
The Hen" which presents the
clucking and cackling Of the farm
yard vas greeted with gales of

ton in Cincinnati.
