M U S l C
FRIDAY CLUB CONCERT.


ISABEL SQUIBB and Fanny Ross
Henbest, pianists, and Rosa Polio
Jarman, soprano, appeared yesterday
at the Friday Morning Music Club con-
cert in Barker Hall. Miss Squibb con-
fined herself to two classic numbers,
playing Bach's "a Minor Fantasy" and
Mozart's "B Minor Adagio." She has a
thorough understanding of the classic
style and she was greeted with warm
applause to which she responded with
an encore.
Rosa Polio Jarman gave a varied
group of songs beginning with "Separa-
zione" by Sgambati and followed by
Guarnieri's Care, Care ell Mic Bambin, u
Brahms, "Botschaft," John Alden Car
penter's ITO One Unknown" and the
'Habanera" from Carmen. Mrs. JAR
mans voice has a decided contralto
color even in the high register, which
she handles with ease. She sings with
feeling and taste which would be still
more satisfying If the tendency she has
Of carrying the chest quality up beyond
its lir.its was eradicated. Particularly
effective was her Interpretation of the
Carpenter number and the Venetian
song Of Guarnieri's. Mildred Kolh
Schulze was an able accompanist.
A decided treat was the playing OF
Fanny Ross Henbest. She seems to have
special fingers for Debussy and Ravel
Her technic is deft and clear cut SO
that there is authority in the evanescent
atmosphere she creates, for instance in
Debussy's Lies Calines d dAnacapri' and
the Cathedral Engloutie." In Ravel's
Jeux d'eau," the liquid effect of play
ing waters was admirably given and
this same fine touch and delicate senti-
ment brought out the poetry of Cho-
pins "Ballade in F Minor" The audi
ence was genuinely enthusiastic, ap-
plauding vigorously, so that Mrs. Hen
best was forced to give an encore. II
would be interesting to hear her in
other compositions. for she is a player
with much originality and individuality

core of this former Marcel Pagnol
play, bristling around and about,
'Topaze" is undoubtedly one Of the
smoothest and most amusing of cur
rent screen plays.
The R-K-O forces have been wise
in their choice of role for Mr..
Barrymore. They have given him
kind of childlike wisdom, a chance
to be amusing and little wistful;
they have cloaked his much-admired
chin in a flock of whiskers, put him
for the most part in the miserable
clothes of a miserably underpaid
French school teacher and reduced
him to such an unrecognizable ap-
pearance that when he finally
emerges as his own self, in double
breasted waistcoat, a. small mus
tache, a well-cleft chin and sign Of
hair oil, it almost seems not to be
Barrymore at all.
His performance in this bristles
with true Barrymore birthstone and
fire. As he walks up and down his
school room, pointing to the mottos
on the walls, tntuning his message
OF honesty and money does not
bring happiness" and other credos,
you cannot help but be stirred by
his ease and his satire and the
smouldering humor which lies just
beneath the surface.
Then, again, when the school
master is flung into the cold for
having given young Baron de Ia
Tour a fleet of Zeros on his report
card, and when he Is snapped up
by the Baron (acted splendidly by
Reginald Mason) as a wizard scien-
tist whose name will look well on
false medicinal water bottle, and
when he finds out that his hon
esty" Is at stake and that he is to
be awarded the grand palm" for
his dishonesty, you cannot help but
be moved by his expression OF mis-
erableness, and his manner Of run
ming out ipto the cold and imagin-
ing himself branded as a thief on
all the mocking signboards.
There is humor but, Of course.
bitter satire as well, running through
all of this. It is not child's story
but the story of the false value of
fame" in the world. There is no
whirlwind love affair-only the
handsome Miss 10y to add the fem
mime touch. She is very capable in
this. But it is Barrymore who car
ries the torch high. A torch which
Is brighter, and thankfully lighter,
than any other he has carried since
he became Hollywood gentleman
of part leisure.

'Tsland of Lost Souls" at Fox,
Olsen and Shutta on Stage.


MADE fantastic by the scientific
imagination Of H. G. Wells,
Island of Lost Souls" the film at
the Fox Theater, is free from that
sense Of impending and revolving
cruelty which has come to be asso-
ciated with disordered specimens OF
the mind devoted to mental and
physical investigations. Probably 1t
is the only motion picture of the
sort that has been able to achieve
the highly appreciated effect OF
CARRYING the auditor through a Sc
ries of spectacular incidents sur
rounding the laboratory of a man
of learning, whose instincts are in
human. without discomfort and fear
for the victims.
Perhaps the better atmosphere Is
due to the acting Of Charles
Laughton, whose portly scientist al
ways suggests to the mind that he
has some redeeming spirit of mercy
which, in the end, will save the in
tended victims from the fate that Is
threatened. That point, however, Is
not reached, for the intensely dra-
matte events Of the story sweep him
to death before he has been put to
the real test.
The material of the story ignores
all known facts dealing with the
development of life, for the author
has set his chief character on an
island where he employs his ingen-
uity in the attempt to create be-
ipgs with the ability to use vocal
sounds and walk like humans, out
of the raw material of common ami
mails. The assembled crew is about
the most impressively abnormal
group it would be possible to find.
The problem of assembling such a
crowd impreSses one as the great
task of the producers of the film.
The story is made particularly pal
atable through the introduction OF
Leila Hyams and Richard Arlen,
whose fine acting gives touch OF
romance, while the panther wom-
an" the prize specimen of the
scientists laboratory, is skillfully
done by Kathleen Burke. Other
humans are played by Arthur Hohl,
Stanley Fields and Robert Kortman,
while Bella Lugosi has the exacting
task of representing "the sayer OF
the law" on the island.
Outstanding as the feature Of the
stage program at the Fox is the
wholly artistic act introduced by
George Olsen and Ethel Shutta,
whose mastery of both musical and
dramatic features furnishes a stage
attraction which has all the polish
and sustained interest that is to be
found in the most talented of or
ganizations. Mr.. Olsen's orchestra
sings a parody on "Rigoletto" with
admirable fusion of comedy and mu-
sic, while the several singing num-
bers by Miss Shutta, aided by mem
bers of the company, are notably
brilliant. Ross Wyse, jr., and his
parents also represent quality in en-
tertainment, with originality in
dancing. excellent music and effec-
tive comedy. The Honey Troupe Of
acrobats offers difficult somersaults,
with alertness and freedom from de-
fects, and the audience Is introduced
to AL Mamaux, famous base ball
player, in songs. The overture, un-
der Phil Lampkin, Is patriotic
selection. The newsreel includes the
attack on Mr.. Roosevelt in Florida.
