Theater band music and extremely
bright lights gave emphasis to the
occasion. It was, in fact, the world
premiere Of way Back Home" the
motion picture demonstrating the
influence Of Seth Parker and the
talented country folks who assist
him in stirring radio audiences.
The excitement offered no tributes

No heroic characters were on view.
The joyous crowds that packed the
sidewalks and part of the street
were either on their way or hoping
for q chance to attend this new
screen showing at Keith's.
It is good picture. AS one
woman remarked at the close, it is
a lovely picture" It is one sat
urated with the kind Of sentiment
that sweeps from the path Of a
kindly world, the iconoclast and the
preacher Of self1shness. 1t stirs the
zeal that, since time began, has sur
rounded those who led In expressing
the things that all normal people
think-the things that relate to hui
man qualities under the veneer Of
the abnormal

story that is told by the film. The
inconoclast would call 1t melodrama,
overlooking the fact that, represent
ing the rustic background Of Seth
Parker, 1t lacks the artificiality as
ISOLATED with the production OF
melodrama. It has plenty Of the
music to be expected from this
source-songs that have touched
human hearts in all ages, and have
given evidence Of the kinShip of all
honest souls. And they are all
there-the village people who gather
about Seth and Ma and all the 9TH
ers whose family life has come near
er to the standard Of the goldfish
than that Of any other group ever
developed.
There are villainy, prejudice, petty
despotism, misunderstanding and
other distressing things, and a race
through country roads that could
not be beaten by any Hollywood de-
vices, but it Is all glorified by the
silent, but effective leadership of the
only Parker and his aggregation Of
types and good singers. It will
continue to entertain the patrons
Of Keith's for some days to come.
Several short subjects, including a
newsreel story of the famous Dart
month-Yale game, are made part
Of the program. d. G. G.

ing. The audience was left quite
cold. One cannot help admiring
the clarity Of tone, the setting up
s. of a dominant rhythm that proceeds
inevitably and without haste, the
enormous sense Of line and the In
fusion Of purely intellectual ideas.
Every note has its place, and they
are present In perfect relation to the
whole, even to the most submerged
fragment Of q contrapuntal theme.
And 1t is extremely beautiful. Rach-
maninoff Is no mere technician.
But one must have more. Music Is,
in the last analysis, an appeal to the
emotions, and one goes to have ones
spirit carried away rather than to
self consciously admire.
The second group, which were
played in reverse order, were more
satisfying. The impersonal quality
of the Weber Moment Capr1ccioso"
and the dainty Gluck-Pauer Ca
Vote demand cool, patterned per-
Torrance. The detachment Of tones
from each other while yet sustain
ing the line is one Of Rachmaninoff's rs
outstanding characteristics.
The Schumann 'Ttudes SYM
phoniqueS" may be subjected to the
same criticism as the Beethoven.
The technique and nasterful con-
ception Of the. whole was undeniably
superb. But Schumann was ro-
mantle Of the most outstanding type.
Everything he wrote had q strong
personal flavor. His brflliance, espe-
cially marked here, nearly over
Swallowed the sentiment, yet again
Rachmaninoff' Interpretation left
us unwarrantably cold.
The last half Of the program,
starting with the Corelli "'Varia-
tons" was quite different. Rach-
maninoff's "LisZt" is magnificent.
There was appropriate brilliance In
the "Etude Transcendente" and an
almost unbelievable range in dy-
manic control, from tremendous
fortes to whispered pianissimos. II
the variety of tone quality is not
great, the subtle shadings in vol
ume compensate for it in List"
Never do the terrific technical dlffi-
culties hurl themselves at the listen

clan for that. His sense OF beauty
and balance is predominant.

concert of several weeks ago. MIS-.
Hoover occupied the presidential poA
with a party Of friends.
The composer-pianist has peen
here often before, but TINS Is tne
first time that he has favored WASH
inrton with the first hearing Of one
of his own compositions, Variations
sur un Theme de Corelli." the
theme of the early Italian master
which Rachmaninoff chose Is
simple one both melodically ana
harmonically. lending itself well
therefore to the expanding form OF
theme and variations. In earlier
times the methods used to vary
theme were mechanical ones, de.
signed to exploit the technique OF
composer as well as interpreter.
They hastened the tempo in intricate
patterns, changed the mode from
major to minor, embroidered the
theme with q web Of harmonic pas
sage work or deepened 1t with o
mass Of heavy chords. AL this
Rachmaninoh does to the Coreln
theme, and much more, with a de-
cidedly modern flavor added-much
more modern feeling, In fact, than
has been heard here in any OF his
other compositions. Even his sym
phony played last year had a classic
feeling. The essential spirit OF the
theme was taken through series
of emotional transformations which
enlarged. its scope and squeezed from
it the last available shade Of feeling.
The composers playing Of his own
work was nothing short of marvel
Gus. His impassivity and restraint
of emotion is suited to the form he
adopted. His technique is, Of course,
flawless. Rather unusual was the
tremendous climax Of the next to
last variation, followed by COM
paratively simple slow finale.
The program opened with one OF the
later Beethoven "Sonatas, Opus 81"
We would venture to suggest that
Rachmaninoff would do well to leave
Beethoven and Schumann off his
programs. The first demands q

playing conditions. The close-knit

ity. The steady how Of its ,Igical
fancieS makes possible o species OF
that split-second playing to which
our better dynamic directors have
accustomed US. Last night, it was
evident that the players had ap-
priced themselves Of these advan-
tages. They were well turned to
the pleasure Of the audience.
The bold, exquisite charm OF
Olivia. which dominates in some
way virtually every scene in he
play, was orcidaceously portrayed
by Dorothy Francis, who never once
belied the lyrical words the poet d.
rected at her.
Disturbing memories of Randle
Ayrton's Leontes Of Wednesday were
dispelled and forgotten with that
gentleman's appearance in the guise
Of Malvolio. His representation Of
that droll numhskull surpassed at
many points the conical drunken
performance Of the famed Sir Toby
Belch. Roy Byford gave pleasant
ly gargoylish imitation of the noto-
rious drunken sot, although his best
scenes gained little from the support
Of Sir Andrew Ague- Cheek, Fabian
and the Clown.
Hilda Coxhead was q vigorous,
saucy and enchanting Maria, whose
engaging antics last night made the
audience wish she might have been
awarded some better lot than mar
riage to a rubicund gentleman with
q sesquipedalian waist line.
John Ruddock as Sebastian, Eric
Maxon as the conventionally morose
Elizabethan nobleman, Stanley How
lett in the role of fierce and faith
full Antonio and Fabia Drake as Vio-
Ia, all were, as the saying goes, ade-
quate. Miss Drake at moments
achieved the full measure Of her
splendid part, but was hampered by
a mild Evolutionary learning.

BULK METHOD OF
ROASTING COFFEE
IS NOT EXACT
In Spite of Care 1t Is Difficult
to Develop Uniform
Flavor

It is virtually impossible to ac-
curately roast coffee in bulk, be-
cause there is no exact way to de-
termine when all of the batch is
"done." One roast may be high"
and another "low," with the result
that there is variation of flavor.
Hills Bros. overcame this uncer-
tainty, by inventing and perfecting
a radically different process-Con-
trolled Roasting. By automatic
control, stream of coffee passes
continuously through the roaster
a feio pounds at a time. Positive
control of the heat is maintained,
with the result that every berry of
the rare blend is roasted evenly
TO the degree that insures a rich,
uniform, full-bodied flavor in every
pound.
No other coffee tastes like Hills
Bros. Coffee because no other coffee
is roasted the same way. Controlled
Roasting is Hills Bros process
exclusively.
Grocers everywhere sell Hills
Bros. Coffee in the vacuum can that
keeps it ever-fresh. Air, which
destroys the flavor of coffee, is ex-
tracted from the can and kept out.
Coffee packed in ordinary cans, even
if air-tight, does not stay fresh.
Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name
and look for the Arab-the trade
mark-on the can.

Pretty Ceremony
Unites Couple At
Methodist Church

Miss Grace Amet, daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Amet Of AL
Euclid avenue. became the bride Of
arthur Cobbledick OF Oakland at
impressive ceremonies at the El
Centro Methodist church last night
at o'clock.
Profusions of pink and white
flowers and ferns provided charm
ing background for the bridal
party and appropriate music was
played by Ruth Teeple Reid while
the guests assembled and during
the ceremony.
Rev. E. B. Cole. pastor of the
Lincoln Avenue Methodist church
in Pasadena, read the marriage
service. He was assisted by Rev.
W z. Malan, pastor OF the FL Gen.
rro Methodist church.
The bride entered the church to
the strains OF the wedding march.
She was gwen away by her father.
She was beautifully gowned in egg
shell faille and wore a train length
veil confined at the temples with
orange blossoms. Her bouquet was
OF lilies of the valley, gardenias,
talisman roses and fern.
Mrs. Floyd Emerson of Brawley
was matron OF honor and wore a
charming gown of orchid chiffon
and carried pink roses. Miss Win
fired Hutchinson of San Diego
goWned in pink faille and Mrs.
Raleigh Lambe of Westmorland in
green flat crepe, were brides maids.
Miss Hutchinson carried pink roses
and Mrs. Lambe yellow roses.
Rose petals were scattered in the
path OF the bride by two dainty
flower girls, Phyllis Maxwell of Ell
Centro and Jackie Adams of Braw-
ley. Phyllis wore pink organdie
and Jackie white organidie.
John Cotton of Los Angeles was
best man and Raleigh Lambe of
Westmorland and Dewey Musante
of Brawley were ushers.
Immediately following the cere-
mony the bridal party and a num-
Der Of guests repaired to the Amet
home where a reception was held
