A Musical Picture

Eleven different rhythms from the
French and Spanish tangos and the
Cuban rhumba form anew dance,
"Raftero." which George Raft in
PRODUCES in his Paramount starring
picture, "Bolero," now at the Circle.
The dance, though its ryhthmic
cadences are entirely new in the
dance world, introduces a variety
of new steps. 1t is said, however,
to be simple enough to be danced
by the average ballroom dancer.
In the picture, which gives Raft
his first opportunity to dance for
screen audiences, Carole Lombard,
Sally Rand, the fan dancer, and
Frances Drake have featured roles.
LIE Roy Prinz, dance director at
the StudiOs-the man who first
brought the rhUmba to America
elaborated with Raft on the seven
teen movements of the new dance.
The dance has a musical back
ground Of Maurice Ravel's "Bolero."
and special music composed by
Ralph Ranger.
1t begins with a fast tango, then
slows into the French tango, the
senSuous slow movements of the
Argentine, and the rhythmic body
movements Of the Cuban rhumba.

Tibbett Giving
Murat Concert
Here March 5

Last season was the first time
since the death of Enrico CaruSo
that the honor of opening the sea-
son at New York's Metropolitan
Opera House was given to 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 had
brought him big success the prevl-
Gus season. Simon Boccanegro."
At that time critics declared it,
"Tibbett's Hottest achievement"
Yet history of the Seventy-five-
year-old opera proved it had lain
almost that long in the discard,
until Mr.. Tibbett's 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, "he 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 N
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-
clared 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 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 point where he stands
alone as the supreme singing actor
in the world today.

FARLEY DOUBTS
PLAN TO INITIATE
Radio Audience Told Presi-

in Face of PeriIs.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, January 13.-Postmas
ter General James A. Farley predicted
today that President Roosevelt would
not spread his sails before the imitation
gale, with all the perils that beset such
a course"
The Democratic national chairman
asserted in a speech at the annual
Cleveland automotive luncheon that
neither would the President sacrifice
the advances which have occurred in
commodity prices by taking the views of
the international bankers"
Confidence in President.
For my own part" Farley continued,
Il do not pretend to be an authority
on the subject.
Il know the President is such an au-
thority.
Il know he has plumbed the depths
of all the arguments. I know that his
policy comes from a ripened Judgment
and do, not think that any of us need
fear that where he has been right so
often he is likely to go wrong in this
particular field"
Farley praised Congress for its CO.
operation with the President in last
years special session and expressed
confidence that the present session
would be as helpful
He prophesied defeat in the next
elections of "crusted old guardsmen
and standpatters-men who still talk
and think IN archaic and Wornout
terms and can do nothing but bubble
and grumble in dull partisanship and
creak their ancient party opposition to
whatever is being offered"
Results Reward Faith.
The people, because of their faith
in Roosevelt" he concluded, bore the
inconvenience and discomfort which
resulted with patience and good tenn
per, and the results show that their
faith was not misplaced
1T is my earnest belief that under
his leadership we shall in good time
come to a full realization of the hopes
and ambitions of all good Americans
for a restoration of our countrys pros
perity and for the greater happiness of
all our people
Farley's address was carried over a
network of the National Broadcast
ing Co.

BATTLE ON PAY CUT.
APPROVED IN HOUSE

Gag Rule.
TWO MINOR AMENDMENTS
ARE CARRIED BY MEASURE
Appropriation of $566, 6,433,195 Pro-

With the independent Offices appro-
priation bill, embodying the President S
economy program, passed by the House,
the pay cut fight today was shifted to
the Senate.
Driven through the House under a

measures, was passed in a late session
last night after two days of bitter fight

ton of the other per cent of the Is
per cent salary slash as recommended to
Congress by the President. Authority is
carried. however, for the President to
make further salary restoration If and
when periodic studies of the cost Of
living show such action justified.
The gag rule also makes this policy
as regards salaries and other economy
legislation apply with equal force on all
the other appropriation bills. But it
does not mean the fight for restoration
Of basic salaries is ended, because the
Senate already has taken steps to
change these provisions in the House
bill, and when it goes to conference for
reconciling differences between the
House and Senate the gag" rule will no
longer operate. The bill can be brought
back to the House for action on the

Rescue crews were at work in the

PUBLICITY ON TAX
RETURNS FORESEEN
La Toilette viii Offer Income
Amendment if House
Fails to Act.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

Publicity of income tax returns
hitherto held confidential is likely to be
provided for in the coming revision oi
the revenue laws by Congress unless the
Roosevelt administration throws its in.
duence against such a change in the
law
Senator La Toilette, progressive Re-
publican, of Wisconsin, said today he
intended to offer his income tax pub
icity amendment again when the reve-
nue. bill reaches the Senate if pro-
vision for making the income tax re.
turns public records is not placed in the
bill by the House.
The Wisconsin Senator succeeded al
the special session of Congress last
Spring in having his income tax pub.
licity amendment to the national in.
dustrial recovery act adopted by a sub.
stantial vote in the Senate. In the
conference between the two houses or
this measure, however. the amendment
was rewritten so as to give the President
authority TO control the matter of in.
come tax returns publicity.
The language then written into law
was as follows:
And all returns made under this
act (the revenue act Of 1882 after the
Gate of enactment of the national in
dustrlal recovery act shall be open to
public examination and inspection to
such extent as shall be authorized in
rules and regulations promulgated by
the President"
Republicans Change Views.
President Roosevelt so far has pro-
mulgated no rules and regulations for
the public examination of income tax
returns.
Senator La Toilette and other men,
bers Of the Senate supporting the pro-
poSal insist the law should be made
mandatory. He Will have the aid of
many Republican Senators hitherto
opposed to income tax publicity who
have reached the conclusion that such
publicity would go far toward hating
tax lodging which, it is claimed, has
defrauded the Government of many
millions Of dollars in the past.
The drive for making income tax re-
turns a public record is being pressed
in the House by Representative Patman
of Texas. He has addressed letter to
each member of that body strongly rec
ommending the adoption OF an amend
menJ TO the revenue law which he has
prepared and submitted rc the Ways
and Means Committee This amend
ment follows:
That notwithstanding the provi-
sions and limitations of any Of the laws
relating to internal-revenue taxation,
refunds, credits, abatementS, all income,
war profits, and excess-profits tax re-
.urnS heretofore or hereafter made upon
which the tax has been determined by
the commissioner of internal revenue,
shall constitute public records and shall
be open to examination and inspection.
The Secretary of the Treasury may
prescribe reasonable rules and regula-
tions to carry out the purposes of this
provision"
