crisp, concise form and allowing his
impressionism full play in the An
American in Paris" The two ex-
tremes were made colorful by the dis
tinctly original harmonic devices Mr.
Gershwin employs for the orchestra.
as well as the fine exposition he has
put into the piano part Repetitions
of mannerisms and effects in both
compositions came to the fore In his
moments of doubt, but when the in
spiration was running freely it was
excellent music well conceived.
In his Rhapsody in Blue" Mr.
Gershwin has glorified and uplifted
jazz and there is no question today
but that this composition will remain
as milestone in the progress toward
a new musical language. TIE groups
Of shorter numbers, as also his new
variations on i Got Rhythm" have
popular appeal, but less lasting value.
AS a pianist, Mr.. Gershwin gave a
splendid performance in which his in
nate musical feeling and brilliant
technique went hand in hand.
Not in many musical season has
such a truly beautiful tenor voice been
heard as that of James Melton. Re
sembling the voice of John McCor-
mack. it is gloriously free and healthy
and capable of warm interpretive feel
ing. He sang his two groups Of songs
as near perfectly as one could desire
and left one with the wish. and the
hope, to hear him again and in
more taxing program for which his
gifts are suited.
Charles Previn conducted the or
chestra in inspiring fashion and the
excellent musicians under his COM
mand gave glimpses of personal virtu-
osity in their alive playing.

The three compositions Of Mr..
Gershwin which has raised the idiom
in which he writes to an imposing
height and in which he presented
himself as pianist Of noteworthy
talent, were his Concerto in F"
Rhapsody In Blue" and AN Amer
ican in Paris" Excerpts from his
stage hits and other popular num-
bers filled out the program. At the
same time James Melton, a tenor with
a God-given voice of rare quality, was
introduced here for the first time. to
win an equal share of the enthu-
siastic acclaim that greeted MIR.
Gershwin.
Listening to Mr.. Gershwin's COM
positions and Mr.. Melton's singing
was a cheering experience, for 1t
proved the richness, individuality and
courage of the talent of today. An
eXcellently grounded musician, Mr..
Gershwin has sought and found a
new musical speech of arrestlng val

built up a harmonic structure OF IN
triguing character in all three of his
more pretentious works that has un-
doubtedly opened the door on a bright
future for the musical expression of
this country. That it is not yet COM
pletely clear in mind, even to Mr..
Gershwin. was disclosed in spots
throughout. where the inspiration
seemed to fail or the harmonic form
came upon a snag, but the power to
convince is there with inexhaustable
genuineness.
The Concerto in F" and "An

known to the general public than his
Rhapsody" In these two compost
tions he demonstrates the compass OF
his talent, writing the Concerto in

 Donald Woods, Guy Kiobee and Hugh Herbert are the three hus- bands involved, the former two framing their wives into a compro- missing situation with the latter, Woods with the idea of effecting a reconciliation with his bride and Kibbee of reducing his wife's de- mands for alimony
 The mix-ups which are involved in these marital scandals are said to be hilarious enough to turn a judges hair gray and set a court room to roaring with laughter.
 In addition to it's humorous side, the story carries delightful TO- nance, the two featured leads, Miss Lindsay and Woods playing their parts straight, one as the suspicious bride and the other as the wrongly accused husband who has been tangled in net of com promising circumstances by the flirtatious Miss Farrell.

UPTOWN BILL HAS I WO BIC
 ATTRACTIONS
Eat Elm Alive and The Big Chance Presented
 on Double Program

Harold Austin, who has given us some of the greatest adventure pie lures filmed, has outdone all of his previous efforts in Eat Elm Alive a graphic presentation of nature in the raw, which was shown for the first time locally at the Uptown Theatre last night. It is reported that Austin spent two years on the deserts of Texas, Ne vada, and Arizona making this g;c- ture, and this is not at all surpris- ing. It is, rather, amazing that such unbelievable pictures could have been made within an ordinary life time.
 Almost every native beast of the desert is included in the array of wild life that passes in review in this production. His principals in these fights to the death include a king snake that conquers a side winder rattle snake and, as the title suggests, eats him alive; two gigantic land turtles; a fitch that kills both a desert rat and rat tlesnake; monkey-faced owl that fights snake; and, among others, a mongrel pit dog that attacks and kills rattlesnake that is coiled to spring at a one-year- baby.

 Included in the Uptown's double bill is The Big Chance" exciting drama of the prize ring with John Darrow and Merna Kennedy.
