raries in producing effects Of daz-
cling brilliance.
For most musicians the idea of
orchestral music implies brightness,
high tones generally. Sibelius
though he can be as brilliant as
any one when occasion demands, is
perhaps more characteristic when
he is employing a somewhat dark,
sombre and austere, though not
necessarily gloomy and tragic, color
scheme. The third symphony is
said to have less of the dark quail
ity, and more Of the brightness of
Finland interviewer into it.
Of special interest will be the
playing and conducting of Goossens'
own symphonic poem, "Sinfonietta, -
Or Little Symphony"
Mr.. GooSsens in his own analysis
of this work says, you hear the
motto-thenie' at the very outset in
horns and celli-you hear it con-
stantly, there is no getting away
from it. 1t is the most ubiquitous
phrase I've ever written. It appears
in all states and conditions, gay
sinister, rolliCking, mournful-any-
thing you like. Some commenta-
tors indeed don't quite know what
to make of it! Some call it men
acing. others fippant, but the fact
remains, however, that the audience
won't ever fail to recognize it. The
work, though in one unbroker
movement, nevertheless contains If
itself quite definitely, three distinct
contraSted movements.

Tibet Giving
Murat Concert
Here March 5

Last season was the first time
since the death Of Enrlco CaruSo
that the honor of opening the sea-
son at New York'S Metropolitan
Opera House was given to a male
star-Lawrence Tibbett, famous in
concert, opera and also movie star,
who will be heard at the Murat
Sunday. March Is, at 3 o'clock
under auspices Of indianapolis
League of women Voters.
On that opening night Mr.. lib
bett appeared in a work in which
his voice and histrionic powers mad
brought him big success the preWl-
GUS season-"Simon Boccanegro."
At that time critics declared it,
"Tibbett's loftiest achievement"
Yet history of the seventy-tlve-
year-old opera proved it had lain
almost that long in the discard,
until Mr.. TibbettS genius gave II
vivid life.
But on that opening night, when
Mr.. Tibbett again sang the role OF
Simon, a new thrill was in waiting.
It was better than ever. His art
had grown in its intensity. In his
superb performance, was the
critical verdict, The displayed per-
sistent power of growth"
The flash of Mr. Tibbett's imagi-
nation adds continuously to all he
undertakes, in concert as we'll as in
opera. That which is proclaimed as
his Hottest achievement one season,
becomes still loftier the next
Lawrence Tibbett, in the splendid
freshness of early manhood has, for
almost the duration of his engage
ment at the Metropolitan, been de-
clareG the greatest baritone Amer
lea ever produced. 1t has also been
equally proclaimed Of roles that he
created there: "They stand memoir
able among celebrated achievements
of the Metropolitan stage" And the
worlds greatest artists, past and
present, have appeared there in
their prime.
In that same season which he
opened with a brilliant triumph, Mr..
Tibbett was destined to call forth
even higher encomiums from the
press in his breath taking perform
ance of Emperor Jones. He reached
in that role a point where he stands
alone as the supreme singing actor
in the world today.

aversion to fighting, Joe conhdes his
plan only to his sweetheart. Anne.
He is beaten in his first fight and
Knobby is about to ditch him when
another promoter proposes that
they use Joe as a set-up for the
champion, McSWatt.
At this point, the fun begins as
Joe wins the fight, takes McSwatt's
girl away from him, goes high-hat
