Club Members And
Guests s Delighted
With Musicale Tea

! One of the most delightful of
Christmas programs ever given for
the Ten Thousand club took place
yesterday when a Christmas musi-
Gale and reception for the teachers
of the city and neighbo1ng schools
was held
Lovely music, supplied by Mrs. H
Lee Landerman, and Mrs. Russell
Bennitt, charming and appropriate
setting, and delicious refreshments
made the afternoon one of pleasure
for members and guests.
The opening number formed the
keynote for the musical program,
the Alteration" in which the music
describes the worship felt by the
shepherds for the infant Jesus,
played by Mrs. Landerman, violin
ist, and Mrs. Bennitt,. pianist.
Mrs. Landerman then described
the Slavic Christmas customs which
are distinguished by the rapid re-
versal of mood characteristic of
these peoples and illustrated in
their music. Two Brahms numbers.
typical of Slavic music, were play
ed, Hungarian Dances, Nos. 5 and
6. after which a "Mazurka," by E.
MeynarsN was presented.
Mrs. Bennitt gave an interesting
description of Christmas Eve in
Spain and Of the traditional
Spanish Christmas, pointing out
that dance music is appropriate at
Christmas time since the word
carol originally meant dance as
well as song.
Illustrative of Spanish festivities
were the three Spanish dances
which Mrs. Bennitt played as piano
solos: "CadiZ" (Albeniz), "Playera"
tGranados) and "Malaguena" 0e-
cuona).
The program concluded with a
group of Christmas carols played
by Mrs. Landerman and Mrs. Ben
nitt, these beloved melodies being
prefaced by brief talk by Mrs.
Bennitt on the Joy the Christmas
holiday brings to the world.
Both musicians are exceptionally
talented and their program was en-
Enthusiastically received.

The club house was lovely with
its many red candles, baskets of
holly, and the effective stage dec
orations which resembled a chapel
with a glowing stained glass VIM
COW in the background, made by
the school children, before which
was placed an altar surmounted by
brass candelabra bearing crimson
candles.

Is Starred
In Next Play
At BeIasco

Said to be a brilliantly writer
comedy, "The Second Man." by
8. N. Behrman, noted author of
Biography" and other highly
successful plays, provides the
noteworthy attraction at the Shu-
bertBelasco Theater, the week
commencing Monday evening.
Bert Lytell is starred and L.ora
Baxter featured in this piece
which enjoyed considerable vogue
on Broadway during its half-year
run q few seasons ago.
Instead of the usual triangle,
the author presents a quadrangle,
and how they wrangle in their
efforts to get the right partner.
There is a short story writer who
is being sought by two women and
then there is his friend, a sci
enlist, who is rich and talented.
The way in which these four mill
about in an attempt to live their
lives as each desires is exception
ally interesting.
In the role Of the fiction writer
who is harassed and driven by a
second self within him, Mr.. Lytell
is said to be provided with a type
of role than enhances his fine rep.
utation in the theater. In addi'
ton to Miss Baxter, the excellent
supporting cast includes Dwight
Frye and Rosalind Russell. "The
Second Man" has been directed by
Edward Hartford.

Fredric March, Sylvia Sidney Stars
= Or Good Dame on Fox Screen

Fredric March proves his YER
satility by turning from the
suave and polished Prince Sirki
of Death Takes q Holiday" to
the rough and tough Mace
Townsley Of Good Dame" cur.
rent at the Fox.
He is teamed with Sylvia Sid
ney, who Is looking prettier than
ever after an extended vacation.
Their acting Is one Of the princi'
pal reasons for GOOD Dame" be-
ing fine, light romantic comedy.
Lille Taylor, a chorus girl, Is
stranded in a small town when
her pocketbook is Snatched at q
cheap carnival. To earn her rail-
road fare she joins the outfit.
Mace, a smalltime gambler goes
her bail when she Is arrested
during a raid on the midway at
fractions, for he discovers his
'shill" was responsible for the
robbery.
Fired by the carnival, the pair
try house o-house selling. Then
follows a series of fights, escapes
and finally arrest. All Of this
time each has been antagonistic
toward the other. They eventu-
ally discover their love for each
other, the Judge suspends their
sentences and marries them, and
thew leave to 1oin another car
nival.
Although the story is a trifle
disjointed and erratic, the speedy
tempo of the film and excellent
portrayals by its stars win for
GOOD Dame" a high entertain
ment rating. The dialogue is
crisp and well written and the
scenes reveal some colorful but
tawdry sides Of tent show life.
March is at his best in a slangy,
tough guy" role. Sylvia Sidney,
while inclined to be a bit teary-
eyed, still plays with a great deal
more comedy sense than hereto
fore. Incidentally, why such a
title as Good Dame?
"Spices Of 1884," on the stage,
is long on spectacular production
numbers, but rather short on gen.
uine talent. Outstanding in the
revue were several tableaux by
two gold-painted dancers and

by Harriet Cruise.

The popularity of the picture
may be traced almost entirely to
its stars, Clark Gable and Clau-

through a romantic comedy which
tells Of the escapades of a runaway

trip from Miami to New York.
The lines are exceedinly clever,
the tempo fast, and altogether it
