most assuredly is being used to our disadvantage.
 ''It is the right of the lessee to carry on his business to his ad- vantage, as it is our right to ask for consideration in our enterpris- es.
 eff the present rental fee is one dollar and sixty-five cents perday, why should the taxpayers who own the hall, pay fifty dollars per day.
 "If the present manager spent money with the idea in mind of bettering his box office attractions, such action was done by him en- tirely of his own volition and nat imposed upon him by any terms of his lease.
 we do not believe that the local merchants would want their pa- irons to be penalized to the extent of two hundred dollars for the use of the hall just because they hap- pen to be advertising on that par ticular evening. This amount was asked recently of a local Organiz- ation as rental fee for one night. The reason given for the high fee was that the merchants were ad- vertising.
 l At the time of the staging of the last play by a local group the present management agreed that many people were in the hall who had never been there before. Which proves that the townspeople are interested also in local anna teur dfamatics, and not necessarily attracted by the excessively adver- tised Identification of the hall it. self.
 Tt is not the desire of the com mittee to work hardship on the present management. It is rather our aim to develop an agreement of mutual advantage. Our only de- sire is to reach an understanding whereby. local organizations will be guaranteed the right to use bor- ough property at cost not to ex- ceed ten times the present rental fee.

Last May the location was final
ly chosen on which will shortly
be built the permanent home Of
Yehudi Menuhin, who will be
heard at Constitution Hall with
the Philadelphia Orchestra on
Tuesday evening, February 13, un-
der the management Of T. Arthur

For some years the boys COL
laboration on the violin with
Georges Enesc, famous Rumanian
violinist, has neceSSitated his stay
in the suburbs of Paris some
months each summer. The time
is now nearing when those months
will be enjoyed in America.
It was natural that the Men
uhin family should decide upon q
home site in California, where Ye-
hudi was taken by his parents
when only one year old. His tai
ented little sisters, Hepzibah and
Yaltah, were born there.
The spot chosen by the Menu
hinS comprises 80 acres on the
Santa Cruz Mountains, 40 miles
from San Francisco, overlooking a
vast panorama of landscape and
only 80 minutes drive from the
Pacific. Already a small colony
of intellectuals, writer's, poets and

Barth eImess As
Defender Of
Indians

Richard Barthelmess as a pure
blooded Sioux. slaps Uncle Sam
for his treatment of the Indians.
In Massacre" which opened
yesterday at the Metropolitan
Theater, he becomes the ardent
advocate Of fair play for the Red
skin.
This black haired. smooth-fea-
tured movie star, who Is growing
too fat to be romantic, uses the
screen to point out that the ma
tIon's adopted orphans are being
exploited, swindled and abused by
official bureaucrats.
Massacre" presents Actor Bar
thelmess as Joe Thunder Horse,
q Haskell graduate, who makes
his living with a rodeo show. The
illness Of his father calls him
back to the reservation where he
discovers his primitive people are
the victims Of graft and malad-
ministration in the management
Of their estates.
Joe Thunder Horse becomes a
militant crusader for justice, goes
to Washington and by invoking
the aid Of the Indian Commis-
sioner and the United States
Senate, succeeds in confounding
those who are preying upon the
reservation populace.
There is an incidental vein Of
romance in Massacre" with Ann
Dvorak providing the feminine
allure. Barthelmess endows his
role with sincerity and a robust
appeal. The story is too patiently
manufactured to carry much con-
viction, but Dudley DiggeS, Arthur

credible.
