TOSCANINI TO
CONDUCT ON
MARCH 10

The New York Philharmonic
Symphony will give its last con-
cert of the season on the after
noon of March 10 at 4:30 at
Constitution Hall. This concert
will be conducted by Arturo
Toscanini.
At the age of 10 Toscanini con-
Quoted the opera Aida" from
memory, and from that moment
has directed performances in
stead of taking part in them as
a player.
From 1886 he has been a con-
ductor whose fame constantly
grew. He became artistic direc-
tor of La Scale in Milan in 1907.
In 1908 he came to the Metro
politan Opera House in New
York.
The essence of Toscanini's
magic lies in his profound knowl-
edge and his consuming devotion
to his art and his extraordinary
power over everyone whom he
leads in an Interpretation.
Toscanini lives for his art.
Serving it. he knows no obstacle
and has no price. He lives with
his music, often working all day
and night, having few recreations,
and as a principal relaxation the
reading of poetry or philosophy.

by Clarence Browns Inventive
mind, provided novel camera and
sound effects in Greta Garbo's
new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star

Loew's Columbia Theater.
Since much of the action in the
glamorouS film takes place with
in the walls of an old Latin
Quarter pension in Paris, Brown
built the interior set. showing five
flights of winding stairway, upon
a hydraulic stage, permitting the
silent elevation of camera and
microphone equipment to height
of IS feet within the circular
inclosure.
Set Required Care
On top of a perpendicular
hydraulic piston, housed beneath
the stage level, Brown had a
turntable constructed for cam
era plaC1orm Wnlcn, Wnen raised
or lowered, revolved to follow the
characters as they walked up or
down the stairway. Three weeks
were required to build the unique
set and As engineers, mechanics
and helpers were engaged in It's
operation. All signals were given
by silent cues, directed by Brown
on switchboard from his perch
on top of the turntable platform.
Robert Montgomery plays the
lead opposite Miss Garbo in the

'TWELVETREES
GIRL FOUGHT
FOR. NAME

Blessed with rare beauty and
charming personality and en-
dowed with unique histrionic abi)'
ity, Helen Twelvetrees, starred in
Radio Pictures "Millie," now fea-
tured at RKO-Keith's Theater,
has the distinction of having been
classified as among the greatest
dramatic actresses on the screen
today.
Coming to the Coast fresh from
stage successes that won her the
reputation of "one of New York's
best ingenues," Miss Twelvetrees
had a sensational rise to the
heights of stardorn. For a long
time she had difficulty retaining
her name over protests of pro-
ducers, but now that fame is at
tanned its uniqueness has new
value.
The most marked success Of her
early screen appearances was in
The Grand Parade" under tie
direction of Edmund Gouldlng.
In this all of the charm she pos.
sessed-her lovely voice, photo
graphic perfection and dramatic
ability were brought out. and her
career on the talking screen was
more than successfully started.
She scored successive nits IN
Swing High" Her Man" The
Painted Desert" and recently in
The Cat Creeps."
Is Brooklyn Girl
Miss TwelvetreeS was born in
Brooklyn, where she attended the
Brooklyn Heights Seminary. She
later studied with the Art Stu
dents League, dividing her time
between here and the American
Academy of Dramatic Arts.
Miss Twelvetrees is an expert
swimmer, which causes her to
spend much of her leisure time at
the beaches. She also plays golf,
rides horseback and enjoys
dancing. She is five feet three
inches in height. Delicate fea-
lures and turquoise blue eyes make
her an ideal camera subject.
She lives in little bungalow in
the Hollywood Hills with two wire
haired terriers for companions,
drives her own car and enjoys
keeping house. She is an ardent
fight fan and her love for music
includes everything from Jazz to
Wagner.

villainy of Captain Livison was
hissed by the demonStrative play

positive and eXtravagant,
East Lynne" in the 1881 talk
ing picture version attempts no
mood of satire, lets an old-fash-
ioned fiction rumble along ac-
celerated only by picturesque back
grounds and quaint crinoline cos
times, trusts that it's naive charm
will obscure some of its out
dated speech and venerable dra
maticS.
Ann Harding Stars
AS vehicle for the lovely and
blonde Ann Harding the movie
going populace is bound to find
it quite satisfying. Her beauty
finds an imposing setting in the
stately Joseph Urban backgrounds
provided for the baronial East
Lynne estate and Miss Harding is
an alluring Isabel in the envelop-
ing period gowns. Her acting is
sufficient for this lavender and
lace sentimental excursion.
The modern generations will
find it hard to believe that the
sorely beset Isabel was baniShed
from her cultured castle for the
mere offense of one unorthodox
kiss which gossiping tongues
magnified for her husband into
a scandal. But that's the story.
She flees with Elvison to a
round of gayety in Vienna, to the
Paris of Franco-Prussian war
days. to poverty and constant
longing for home and child.
Finally, as blindness descends
upon her, Lady Isabel finds the
way to her baby's crib and after
this touching reunion. staggers
to her death over the rocky cliffs
of East Lynne. BY the time
that this sad fade-out arrives all
handkerchiefs are moist.
Applause For Heroine
On the whole I should say
that Hollywood has made a COM
mendable restoration. Cecilia
LOTUS played the severe and dour-
faced Cornelia with such impress
Sive reality that the sympathetic
friends of Isabel we're last night
