RUDEAUDIENCE
REBUKED BY
TOSCANINI

One of the largest and un.
doubtedly the noisiest of audi,
ences of the winter filled Consti,
tuition Hall yesterday afternoon
for the final appearance here this
season of the New York Philhar-
monic Orchestra under the baton
of Arturo Toscanini.
And twice that audience was
chided by the Maestro for its
noise and it's hardness. Despite
this, Toscanini led his musicians
in a program that was filled with
charm and delight.
There was a bit of applause
when the director took his stand
but the buzz of conversation con
tinued ad later-comers sauntered
down the aisle. Toscanii raped
sharply. The buzz continued. He
turned around and glared. Still
it continued. Again he raped
and sharply, and this time it took
effect and there was quiet.
His Baton Slips
Followed then the delightful
overture to Oberon by Won
Weber. And so disturbed was the
conductor by the apparent rude
ness of his audience that his
baton slipped from hands and
went spinning into the orchestra
But not a note was lost, and
a cellist picked up the baton and
returned it. Again there was
much noise at the end of the
first number, and Toscanini
raped several times for quiet
before he started the Schuman
Symphony in D minor, a thing
done beautifully. The Cesra
Franck Symphony in D minor, a
work of great contrast and great
strength, completed the program

AS a result Of this connection
she obtained work with a Carter

quently concentrated in picture

her selection for the leading fem

Took 1O,OOO.MiIe Trip
Director w. S. Van Dyke and
studio officials, after an extern
sive canvass of eligible feminine
players, decided that Miss Booth
was the ideal type for this diff
ficult and dangerous role.
Undaunted by the perils con-
fronting her on a 10,000-mile trip
to Africa, the young actress ac-
Cepted the part eagerly and said
that it would be real adventure
to spend a year in the Jungle.

Reputation as Book

The book Trader Horn," from

LUNT'
IS EDUCATED
THESPIAN

Alfred Lunt, who plays Robert
Devereux, Earl of Essex, in the
Theater Guilds production of Max
well Anderson's new play, Eliza
beth the Queen" coming to the
National Theater March %, is not
only one of the favorite actors
of today but a doctor of letters
as well-a state somewhat un-
usual among the better-known
sock and buskiners. The degree
was conferred upon him during
the past summer when he was
resting from his labors with the
Theater Guild.
Carroll College at Waukesha,
Wis, near the actors farm at
GenesSee Depot, summoned him
to receive the degree, and with
the understandable pride Of an
alumnuS he answered the call.
For several days thereafter, to his
intense annoyance, well-inten-
toned friends sent him kilograms
addressed to DR.. Lunt.
College Actor
1t was at Carroll that he first
attempted dramatics, in a purely
collegiate way. After Carroll, his
family decided that he had best
enter Harvard, but to enter Har-
ward it seems that both the
Charles River and examinations
must be passed.
Lunt failed to pass the river
and never even attempted the
exams. A theater troupe in BoS-
ton caught his eye and he en-
rolled under the banner Of the
Castle Square Stock Company
instead of that of Johnny Har-
ward.
He went in as an extra at the
magnificent salary of $5 a week,
but it wasn't long before he was
given character roles. Character
roles in the old Castle Square
meant blackface, crooks, Hindus,
centenarians, and anything else
that came along, but Lunt played
them blithely. His salary had
been raised to $50 a week.
He was rescued from his wigs
and grease paint by the stage
manager of Margaret Anglin,
who signed him up to play with
that lady in a piece called
"Beverley's Balance" The Anglin
engagement over, he was seen as
Lily Langtry's leading man in a
vaudeville playlet. Lunt was % at
the time and the famous Jersey
Lily 81.
Aided Billie Burke
He then played with Billie
Burke in The Intimate Strang'
ers," in Clarence" Outward
Bound" "Banco" and Robert E.
Lee" series of brilliant perform
ances that attracted much atten,
tion. With his wife, Lynn Fon.
tame, he was signed by the
Theater Guild in 1924, and since
that time they have played con.
tinuously with that organization
The famous stage pair have had
since that time about Is roles
each for the guild. Their first
play under its auspices was Mol,
mars THE Guardsmen," and the
success of that piece foretold the
future. Among their other plays
too numerous to list complete
were Shaw's "The Doctors Di.
lemma" and "Arms and the Man
and Silvara's Caprice" with
which they invaded London.
