American Artists Coming.

AN UNUSUALLY large number Of
"A American artists will appear during
the coming season as soloists with the
National Symphony Orchestra. DR.. Kind
ler, who returned to Washington last
Thursday to begin preparations for the
coming season, said: 1T would be ri
diculous to attempt to engage artists
simply because Of their nationality.
Music is world wide, and an artist is
recognized for his capability not for
his nationality. We have tried to get
the finest artists possible for the COM
ing year and I believe we have sue
ceeded. 1t happens the majority Of
them are Americans. 1t wasn't at all
Intentional. Certainly it would have
been impossible a few decades ago to
engage so many really great musicians
and singers, and have SO many Of them
couraging thing"
Names on the symphony's solo list
include John Charles Thomas, the
famous baritone; Albert Spalding,
whose reputation as violinist is world
wide; Ernest Hutcheson, one of the few
really great pianists; Sophie Braslau,
the contralto of the Metropolitan Opera
Company. Rose hampton, the brilliant
young singer who was signed last sea-
son by the Metropolitan; John Powell,
the famous composer and pianist: Gloria
Perkins, a 10-year-old prodigy who was
presented to New York audiences this
Summer by the teacher Of Yehudi
Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci; Frank
Gittelson, concert master, and George
Wargo, first viola player Of the Ma
tional Symphony, are also scheduled to
play with the orchestra.
And all the above named are native
born Americans, with the exception of
Ernest Hutcheson. His birthplace was
Australia, but he has spent the major
portion of his life in this country.

TN the procession Of new faces con-
tinually passing on the motion pic
ture screen, some to become famous,
1 others to vanish almost as they

for new starring material.
Where do they come from? How do
they get that chance? Are the ques-
tions most frequently asked about the
new players.
Little Jean Parker, who has won con-
siderable recognition In brief year in

photographer snapped her picture. An

and contract. Jean is the dark-eyed
lass you saw in "Rasputin and the
Empress" and, more recently, in Little
Women She is now leading lady in
"Sequoa."
Robert Young, one of the newest
leading men, was member of the
Pasadena Community Playhouse when
film scouts saw him. He was last seen
in "Tugboat Annie" Karen Morley

Theater Society's First.

THE American Theater Society an
nounces that its first attraction Of
the new season, Leonore Uric in a
modern comedy, Her Man OF Wax"
taken from the original Of Walter Ha-
senclever by Julian Thompson, will
open at the National Theater for the
week of October
Mr. Lee Shubert is the producer.
This will be the premiere of the play
and will mark Miss Ulric's apN2a3ance
in role which is totally different from
parts in which she has been associated
during the past several years. The cast
numbers 60 players, including Lloyd
Corrigan. the well-knoWn moving pic
ture actor and director, who was
brought especially from the West Coast
to play opposite Miss Uric.
ANY script calling for a cast OF 60
players is an ambitious one. The fact
that Julian Thompson is listed as the
American adaptor from the German OF
Walter Hasenclever's play. Napoleon
Intervenes," points to likely satiric,
imaginative and, above all, humorous in
depreciation of the German script. For
Mr.. Thompson will be remembered as
the author of Her Warriors Husband"
a play that kept New York laughing
for many months. Arthur Lubin, who
staged the coast production, was i'm
ported to do similar service fer the
present one.
Outside of Lenore Uric, whose char
acteriza tions on the stage have always
been marked by dash and fire that
more often than not have made front
page news, most interest is attached to
the name of Lloyd Corrigan, who will
play Napoleon in this very untyplcal
Napoleonic play Mr.. Corrigan's adj
ton to the cast was in the nature of
a scoop for Mr.. Lubin. the director.
For the former is well-knoWn Holly
wood director who has made many i'm
portant pictures for Paramount, and
had to be seduced from the picture
colony to play a role he was SO ad-
mirably fitted for by temperament and
physical appearance.
AS wax Napoleon who comes to
life under the ardent gaze Of a moving
picture Josephine, Corrigan is intSo-
duced, as Napoleon, to a modern world
of plumbing, muddy politics and movie
stars, and very real love escapade.

Announcement,

THE Philadelphia Orchestra Associa-
ton in the Spring announced its
determination to continue the orches-

season. At that time it stated frankly
to the public that expenses had been
reduced to a minimum and that the
future Of the organization depended
entirely on the hearty support Of the
subscribers. The orchestra comes to
Washington in series OF four evening
concerts under the management Of the
T. Arthur Smith Concert Bureau. The
dates are October II. November 81.
December 19 and February 13, Leopold
Stokowski conducting the first and
third concerts and Eugene OT1nandy
condu9ing the second, while ISsay
Dobrowen will conduct the orchestra
In the final concert of the series.
The response from the musical public
has been generous. Despite this, busi-
ness conditions have been such as to
make 1t impossible for a number Of
loyal friends to renew for their tickets
BY far the greater part of the income
which meets current expenses Is de-
rived from ticket sales. Unless the
shrinkage in subscriptions can be re-
placed, the orchestra cannot be main
tanned as in the past. nor can the
associations obligations to pay the men
a living wage be met.

violets in an awakening wood, nor

Thus vern discovered that Irene
knew little of automobiles, dancing or
her adult life on the island where
there were no roads, no partners and
no laws save what they imposed on
themselves. The arm Of the United
States Government interposed itself
occasionally in the shape Of a revenue
cutter. but, as they were not under
suspicion, those visits had grown less
frequent as events became more ex-
citing elsewhere, beyond the successive
3 and II mile limits.
Vern on his part shouted bits Of
travel information INTO her absorptive
ear. She was avid of the lure Of far
away places with which she was glibly
familiar from books, but which finances
had prevented her from visiting, save
on the magic carpet. Vern let her

He told her, too, Of plays that he

mind to visit theaters. which were only
a memory tinseled fairyland to her.
