Concert Dancers at

Proclaimed as the peer OF any
group of concert dancers in
America, Charles Weidman and
ensemble will give recital at Nc
Kinley Auditorium, Second and T
Streets Northeast, next Thursday
night at 8:15 under the auspices
of the Community Institute. Be
cause Of the need for greater stage
facilities and larger seating Ca
pacity, this recital was booked for
Mckinley rather than Central
Community Center, where the ma
jority of Community Institute en-.
tertainments are held.
Since their debut in New York
nearly two years ago, critics have
hailed this group as both pioneers
in the modern spirit of the dance
as we'll as artists who preserve the
finest traditions of the past. A
recital by the group is said to dis
play an interesting and novel con-
ception of choreographic art.
Each member of the group is a
talented dancer Of experience and
great technical ability, and the
beautiful effects produced are all
based upon a foundation of solid
technique.

DRINKWATER
TELLS ABOUT
HIS PLAY
BY JOHN DRINKWATER
Author Of BIRD in Hand"


The thought Of establishing an
English repertory theater in Bir.
mingham was first conceived over
20 years ago by Barry jackson,
myself and three or four friends,
and so enthusiastic were we over
the project that a mere matter
Of 16 hours q day on the Job
meant nothing.
Tired brains and frayed nerves
were the natural aftermath and,
for consolation, I discovered o
little fishing inn in Gloucester
shire. There I would repair
with, or from, my troubles, and
have been visiting there on and
off ever since. It is set in q
little community that, less than
most, has felt the touch of mod
ern industrialism, and there it
was that 1 found most Of the
material for my comedy, Bird in
Hand"
Actuated by the belief that the
drama was an art on a par with
music, painting and poetry, and
should be treated with as much
respect, Barry and the rest of us,
having no distorted view of the
theater, were intensely eager to
take possession Of a great COM
mercial theater, endowing it with
dramas that possessed more wit
and imagination than commonly
appeared on the commercial
stage. It was a real ambition,
despite the fact that it had a
touch Of arrogance.
Overcome Odds
We like to feel that achieve
ments in Birmingham made an
impression in London's theaters.
In any event, it has come about
that it is now possible in London
for dramatists who really care
for their work, to make from
time to time a successful appeal
to q great popular audience with
out any loss of self-respect. With
the vast numbers of theaters
dotting London or New York it
is somewhat inconceivable that
there should be wit and imagina-
ton on view in all at the same
time, much less assemble audi
ences for such superior pieces.
And yet despite the great compe-
tition, each season brings a hand
full of plays that really spring
from some deep-rooted conviction
in the persons who write them,
and who succeed against great
odds. The fact is, the condition
of Piccadilly Circus and Broad
way has actually not changed
human nature. If someone says
a simple thing convincingly, he
may be heard against metropoii-
tan uproar no less surely than
in quieter times and places.
Bird in Hand" plays the
Belasco next week.

Marguerite ChurchlIl COntllCG, Cefm1-
ates in the happy arms of love.
They squabble over all sorts of
things until they each become
the leader of opposing factions
one composed of the male sex,
which wants the expulsion of all
goods from Bradford College, and
the other composed of women
who bitterly oppose the PROPOSE
ton. And between the two, a Sc
ries of incidents arise never be
fore brought to the screen in such
delightfully."- frank and youthful
style.
A delightful little comedienne
with the wiles of a blonde siren
is Virginia Cherrill, who Incl
dentally is Charles Chaplin's new
leading lady. John Wayne, hero
Of THE Big Trail" is also quite
convincing as the woman-hater
who goes the way of all males.
With q brilliant array Of color
full sombreros and cowboy outfits,
the Fanchon and Marco idea,
wild and Woolly," scores a West
org mountain camp success.
Good Stage Show

a new stunt of being half horse
and half human, bring q lively
kick to the program when they

Harts Krazy Kats tumble about

Bud Corell, doing the old Tom
Mix stunt Of whirling around a

stab at reviving a lost art and
the Bert Murray girls do an espe'
cially good number when they
dance about in pairs with a
cowboy dummy between them
the inside legs of each encased
in wooly trousers which rightfully
belong to the cowboy-that is
if he were really there.
During q specially arranged
overture prepared by Leon Bru'
siloff, a young clarinet player,
Willford Smith, emerges from the
pit and sings a number which
shows that it would be well
worth somebody's while to take
this man under his wing and
prepare him for the operatic
stage. His soft vibrant tenor
voice deserved the applause
which he received. Leon Brusil,
off also gave a violin solo, and
Bob West, at the organ, pre-,
sented q humorous skit on the
loved, loving, not loved and not
loving.

TWO OPERATIC
STARS SING
NEW MOON

With New Moon," all-talking
adaptation Of the stage success,
now at Loew's Palace Theater,
movie patrons are given an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the first Joint ap-
pearance on the talking screen Of
Americas most outstanding fig
ures in the operate world, namely,
Lawrence Tibbett and Grace
Moore.
The unusual inclusion Of two
stellar names in a single produc-
ton was explained by Metro-Gold-
wyn-Mayer by the fact that when
the screen rights of the Broadway
hit we're purchased, it was with
the intention of making the pro
duction the most distinctive and
most talked about picture Of the
1930-31 season.
Operatic Stars
Consequently no efforts we're
spared in the selection of stars,
supporting cast, director, settings,
musicians and accessory details
which would measure up to the
story which in it's stage form had
succeeded in running for Is
months at the Imperial Theater
in New York.
With Tibbett and Miss Moore
under contract, there was no need
to look elsewhere for stars who
could do justice to Lover Come
Back to Me-" lone Kiss" Want
ing You" and other Sigmund
Romberg song hits. The Metro
politan reputation of the singers
is a by-word to all music lovers,
whereas their abilities in the act
ing field is by now equally we'll
known as a result of their re-
spective successes in THE Rogue
Song" and "A Lady's Morals"
Supporting roles were assigned
to such experienced players as
Adolphe Menjou, Roland Young,
Gus Shy and Emily Fitzroy. The
list Of extras engaged for the re-
production is reported to approx
mate 1000 persons.

Opera Company last night gave
most creditable presentation of
their dual bill at the National
Theater which included "Caval-

The blending of his voice as he

received. Stella Gentile's panto-
mime as Mamma Lucia, as we'll
as her well-controlled contralto,
pleased. Alfonso Attanasio was

Gregor trilled delightfully."-.
Well Execuated Chorals
In the second part of the en-
tertainment Cosma Vullo as
Media and Fortunate De Angels
in the sweeping role of Canio led
the company on with dash and
spirit that fulfilled the promise
of well rounded presentation.
The splendid rendition of the
solo in which the clown pours
out the anguish Of his broken
heart was dramatically and skill
fully handled by De Angels as
was the scene in which he stabs
the beautiful Media and her
lover Silvio.
In the role Of Silvio, Luigi
Dale -Molle forged a convincing
lover. Vincent Pesce and Fran

verve and realism to their parts
in concert with carefully sung
roles.
The choral work in both of the
operas was well executed.
