Changes Program

Then she changed her program
while the concert was going on
because she desired to sing num-
hrs that she had never done here
before.
In one group she sang two arias
instead of one. Great fire and
spirit was put into THE Gypsy
Song" from Carmen" She &C
tuallv excelled in this number be-
cause she is essentially fine and
mighty big actress. She brings all
of the acting moods Of opera to her
concerts.
I noticed that she was more ex-
pressive than ever and each num-
Der was given its own acting inter
probation.
Probably the most impressive
thing she did was "Marietta's
Lied" from the opera Die Tote
Stadt." Here was perfect sympa-
thetic singing if it ever existed. To
me it was a musical cameo and
memory gem to cherish forever.

the unique The Cuckoo Clock"
Here was charm and spirited fun
about the meaning of the cuckoo of

Also I will go on record stating
this was the most completely salts
flying recital Mrs. Nancy Martens
has ever given this city. Miss Pom

Stuart Ross is more than an &C
companist. He is an individual in
his own right and did great deal
in maintaining the charm and the
pleasure of the recital.
His two solo groups were eXcent-
" done and his encoreS were
appreciated.

years in the memory of the hun
dreds who sat or stood to hear Miss

her own bouquet and used the
child's flower in one of the high
lights of the program, the singing
of He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not"
After that there was no holding
the audience, and the biggest ova-
ton I have seen in indianapolis in
the past ten years was given Miss
POnselle.
The result was, the spirited sing
ing Of The Night Wind which
climaxed the program and closed
the concert to more applause.
There were many reasons for the
tremendous success of Miss Pom
selle First, the singer was in fine
voice and a lovely mood. Even her
black gown helped to make her a
perfect picture Of charm.

If were sit
ting in a ruling seat in the Holly
wood kingdom and listing 1888!
mistakes I would post this genera
order of "Don't" for all produc
ton executives:
1. Don't make any pictures
about sour old women and
stories that depict trouble from
the first to the last reel. Re-
member, you're selling enter
tainment.
2. Don't under any circum-
stances make an aviation or an
airplane picture that has over
one minute of engine noise or
sky drOning.
3. Don't, under pain Of instant
dismissal, offer any more radio
stars on the theory that because
they click through the loud
speaker they must be a hit on
the screen.
4. Don't take the camera into
the bath room or into the show
ers unless there's logical
reason for it. Remember Holly
wood has yet to make a success
full underwear or undressing
picture. Let Minsky do it.
5. Don't become so ObSeSsed
with camera angles and photo
graphing beauty that you forget
the audience expects you to tell
q story.
6. Don't take q group Of
juvenile actors and give them
a routine story about the young
er generation and expect them
to act it out without the benefit
of experienced troupers and o
name or two that can so ON the
marquee.
Z. Don't stick smutty double
meaning jokes into the picture
that doesn't need them as q
talking point and then complain
because censOrs white your
print to pieces.
8. Don't make q picture for
Broadway alone. Remember
there are a thousand little
Broadways where pictures must
get their dividends.
9. Don't try to tell a story in
rhymed cOupletS and singing
verse if you expect an audience
to believe it.
10. Don't turn a good play
wright's manuscript over to .
studio hack writer and expect a
good scenario. See s. N. Behr-
man.
These are just q few Of the
dOn'ts that come to mind. For
each one I can point to q picture
