FIRST ORGAN
RECITAL OF
NEW SERIES
Charlotte LOck,Uo0dPre
sents Initial Program
of Three Concerts.
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

Having planned series Of three
recitals by prominent young American
organists, the American Guild of Or
ganists presented the first artist, Char
lotte Lockwood, last evening at the
First Congregational Church. At her
appearance here last season Miss
Lockwood made a deep impression
with her individual type of playing
and the announcement of her return
this year brought out a large audi
ence to hear her.
Miss Lockwood'S program conformed
to the Christmas spirit and was richly
rewarding as a revelation of the diff
ferent embodiment of this sacred SUBJ
ject by composers from the seven
teenth century to the present day.
There was delightful use Of the
flute stops in Louis Claude d'Acquin's
Noel sur les Flutes" the contrasting
treatment of the theme "In dulci
Jubilo." by Bach and Karg-Elert;
Brahms arrangement Of Praetorius'
air, "a Rose Breaks Into Bloom; the
colorful Christmas in Sicily" by Pie
trc Yon; Max Rogers Christmas" and
a Bohemian Christmas Cradle Song"
To her Interpretation Miss Lock-
wood brings strong vitality and a
command of the organ technique that
infuses a brightness and ease into
her presentation not always associated
with the organ. Yesterday there was
predominance of these qualities in
the entire program, which tended to
monotony in spite of the enjoyment
her mastery Of the instrument was
bound to give. Some of the softer,
DREAMER moments so appropriate for
the season and emphasized in some of
the compositions we're not sufficiently
brought out, which was to be re-
gretted, since Miss Lockwood's ability
in this direction is well known.
Her differentiation of effects in
other works was artistically conceived
and her subordination of finger tech
nique to the pedal was accomplished
with flneness Of transference that
proved again her excellent equip
ment. The program. which was
played without pause, seemed a short
one and her encores were welcome
additions to the printed list.

Glimpses Of Stage Folk
in Washington.

THE trim young lady who leads the
- Bryn Mawr Band (so-called be-
cause none of its members went
to Bryn Mawr, but virtually all of
them are former inmates of colleges
or musical conservatories), at Loew's
Fox this week is yclept Helen Comp
ton. She has been handling the baton
for couple Of years, and despite her
youthfulness Is veteran of more than
half a decade in show business.
Miss Compton was once one OF the
few women musicians we've ever known
to be featured in a mans orchestra.
A certain night club leader heard her
play piano one evening, promptly fired
his pianist, offered Der the job. which
she took in less time than 1t needs
to tell you about 1t.
AS practically everyone with taste
for smokeless air gets tired OF night
club jobs sooner or later, Miss Comp
ton was again ready to act with
alacrity when the opportunity came
after few years to adopt the leader
ship Of girls jazz band. At first
she led while at the piano, then de-
cided to wave the baton, although
she rather dislikes having people
think she can do nothing more about
music than swing stick and hope
someone else will produce it.. Has
about decided for that reason to work
an ivory speciality or two into the act.
In answer to that obvious but never
theless pertinent question, Where
fore so many girl orchestras all at
once, IN world where they were once
as scarce as purple cows?" Miss
Compton explained she believes the
school bands-high schools, colleges
have encouraged girls to learn brass
percussion and the heavier rhythm
instruments, that they have found
themselves quite able to play par
aphernalia formerly believed to be
the divine right of man, ergo, they
have gone into the business. So there
you are. r. B. p, JR.

attended Miss Schubert's eighteenth
birthday party a year ago In Holly
wood and can vouch for the fact that
she's one of the best looking young
ladies out there. At that time she
wasn't thinking Of the screen. Neither
was Mamma KoshetZ, whose last ap-
pearance here was with Hans Kinder

1t seems pretty definite, however,
that Leslie Howard's play will come
here just the same. But when or
where-that is still a question.
HERE are some of the surprises in
- the new Crawford Montgomery
Gable picture, "Forsaking All Others:
Charles Butterworth steals it; Mont
gomery comes next and for the first
time in his career Gable plays second,
third and fourth fiddle. Montgomery
takes Joan over his knee and paddles
her with a hair brush. Billie Burke,
dressed (by Adrian) like an Easter
egg. looks 20 years younger. Gable
walks around with an ice-pack on his
head, which is something that Mont
gomery used to do exclusively. Joan
is first seen lying on a table, being
pounded into shape by masseuse.
and looking like the wrath of heaven.
her face smeared with cold cream.
At the altar she is Tilted by Mont
gomery, who by then is wed to nasty
little Frances Drake (in the film only.
After a motor accident (Joan and Bob
are the wreckers and wreckees) ana
a long walk through the rain. when
Joan changes her dress in a strange
(not too strange) house she emerges
In something that Princess Marina
would have snapped up in a llHy.
MONTGOMERY appears in Aunt Evas
1880 ball dress.
The film is very funny. 1t also
makes no sense whatsoever. Director
Van Dyke is perhaps becoming the
A. A. Milne of Hollywood. Gable, by
the way, finally walks of with Miss
Crawford.
THERE'S more Christmas in the
l. air this season than there has
been in a long while. Hardie Meakln,
for instance. is in dither because all
the other theaters in town have their
Christmas trimmings lolling all over
the lobbies. and he didn't order his
tree and other gadgets until day after
tomorrow. Yesterday afternoon he
was caught pickering with a Christ
mas tree man for an advance

day." said the poor little man whose
life is one Christmas tree after an
other these days. But I want it
now" said Mr. Meakin, looking
wistfully in the direction of F street,

man, looking over his schedule to
make sure that the order said Thurs
day (Which it did. But want it
now" said poor Mr.. Meakin, his
round eyes beginning to fill with tears.
You can have it Thursday" At that
point we left. And we're afraid Mr..
Meakin will get his tree Thursday.
This is a long way around to get
ting to the fact that Loew's Fox will
have community Christmas carol
singing in the theater starting Thurs
day night, after the last show. II
you stay after 1880 you'll not only
be able to sing "Heilige Nacht" in
your best baritone, but you'll have

Energy Wasted in Crime

This modern world abhors waste
When it finds any source Of energy
going unused-a waterfall, q factory,
q coal mine, or whatnot-it exerts
every effort to put that energy to
work.
But there Is one kind of energy
which Is wasted every day. some
times in the most extravagant man.
ner, about which we seldom bother
to think twice.
That is human energy-tte energy,
to be exact, Of bad men and bad
women. the outlaws, the people who
rebel violently against any and all
restraints.
Think, for instance, of Clyde Bar
row and Bonnie Parker, those pre-
cious Texans who were finally shot
to death in Louisiana after compiling
Z criminal record about as vicious as
my In western history.
Within the last two years no fewer
than IL murders were definitely as
cribed to these two. Nine of their
victims were policemen. Bank rob-
berries, highway holdups, filling sta
ton stickups. kidnapings-the crimes
OF this nature on their record are al
most beyond counting.
They roved from Texas to Iowa.

Z swath that made Dillinger look like
. lad on his way home from Sunday
school.
Finally, Of course, the law caught
up with them. Deputy sheriffs am
pushed them along lonely country
road and filled them full Of lead,
ending forever that particular chap
ter In criminal history.
But one Is forced to wonder, think
ing about this pair-what was it that
set them off on the wrong path, any,
way? How could society have pre-
vented that costly waste of poten-
TALLY useful energy?
For 1t was q waste-make no doubt
Of that. TWO youngsters who can do
all these did have Astounding energy,
enormous vitality. The force that
makes . man q dangerous outlaw Is,
ct bottom. the same kind Of force
that enables q man to do the great,
hard. and useful Jobs that keep the
world turning; it just gets directed
down the wrong channel.
How could society have prevented
It? Not being very wise, We don't
know. and If we did know We should
probably act too late. But sooner
or later We must find out.
There is no more terrible waste
than the waste involved In the career
Of . gunman like Clyde Barrow.
