Lanny Ross was recruited from the
radio field. Tall, good looking, with
that touch Of quiet ShyneSs, which
made Charlie Ray a rage with the
world, Lanny Ross has one Of the
most beautiful singing voices the
screen has yet to give us. Flexible,
resonant, exQuisitely trained, he back
grounds this voice with an instinct
for tempo and rhythm. which is very
satisfying. and which makes some
OF the numbers in Melody In Spring"
sheerly delightful.
This Is very auspicious picture

OPERETTA GIVEN AT

PLAYERS in the Eastern High School
Auditorium last night. Mr.. GABLE

ing the play. however, Liszt and
Caroline, daughter Of the Countess
st. Criq become infatuated while she
is studying music under his tutorship.
A marriage is impossible, according
to the girls mother, and 1t Is for
Liszt to amend the wrongs caused by
their infatuation. namely Caroline'S
broken engagement TO French
nobleman.
1t is this disappointment in love
which finally sends Liszt back to the
music field. by attending the concert
of Paganini, the violinist. True to
the wishes of his friends, Chopin,
Dudevant and D'Agoult, his inter
est is renewed. So inspired is he by
the concert that he writes his
"Rakoczy March. Not long after
wards the wedding of his beloved

Pitts and Summerville in
NewComedy, "Love Birds
Picture and They Gather Many Laughs.
New Juvenile Makes Hit

Stock in the Summerville- Pitts
comedy team goes up a point as a
result Of Love Birds" latest film
effort of the shifty-eyed Slim and
handwriting Zazu which opened at
the Rialto yesterday. 1t almost
reaches par in one scene where the
two comics dressed in night gowns
unwittingly scare each other into
Mysteries.
The film is as silly as the previous
comedies Of this pair, but it has a
bit more OF plot than the others,
and 1t succeeds in being actually
funny at times. Other than that, it
gives young Mickey Rooney a chance
to push himself up another notch
toward becoming better known as q
capable Hollywood juvenile in a bit
OF acting as the spoiled nephew of
Miss Pitts.
Mr.. Summerville is quite at home
as the slow and timid companion of
the sad-smiling Miss Pitts. His role
OF a ShiftleSs store clerk who loves
chickens SO sympathically that he
loses his job rather than see several
OF his pet hens made into turkey
sandwiches, or whatever chickens are
used for, is fitting role. AS an old
maid school teacher, Miss Pitts is like
wise in her element.
Love Birds" which. by the way.
has very little to do with love, is all
about the aforementioned chicken
loving clerk and school teacher who
are sold the same broken-down ranch

by a couple Of crooked real estate
dealers. 1t is when Mr.. Summerville
arrives with his chickens in the mid
die Of the night and proceeds to stum-
BILE around in the ranch without
knowing of Miss Pitts presence that
the nightgown scene takes place.
Strange as it may seem, the rest
of the film evolves around a gold
tooth filling which Mr. Summerville
loses in a fight with "Barbwire," a
prospector. Upon finding this bit Of
dental gold. "Barbwire." in his short
sighted enthusiasm. mistakes it for a
nugget and Immediately starts a mob

"BOLERO" TO BE PLAYED,
DISREGARDING PROTESTS
DR.. Kinder Announces That
Famed Composition Will Re
main Among Requests

Ravel's famous "Bolero" Is not only
one of the best-liked compositions,
but 1t is also, beyond doubt the most
cordially hated.
Now that Hans Kinder, conductor
of the National Symphony Orchestra,
has announced that the "Bolero" was
the second most popular composition
played by the orchestra this year, ac-
cording to poll just completed,
and will therefore be included on next
Sundays request" program, there has
arisen a violent opposition to the
work. A large number OF the orches-
tra's patrons have written and phoned
the Offices In the Woodward Building
asking. demanding or pleading, as the
case may be, that "Bolero" be re-
legated to a remote pigeonhole in
the orcestras archives, and the dust
be allowed to settle on 1t indefinitely.
Their chief argument is not that it
isn't good music, though q good num-
ber of them declare 1t isn't, but that
1t has been played so much and so
often, by three-piece jazz bands, movie
orcheStras, big and little orcheStras,
In all combinations and on the talkies
as we'll. that its monotonous theme
and rhythm have been worn thread
bare.
OF the 2,000-odd concertgoers who
voted for music TO be played ON next
Sundays program, AGO chose the
"Bolero." Now the orchestra is being
faced with mounting list Of protests
which promises TO be almost as great.
But DR.. Kinder says he will stick
to his bargain. The most popular
music, that is, the music receiving
the most votes in the orchestra's poll,
will be played. II it turns out that
1t is also the most unpopular, that's
Just too bad.

"THE NEW CREATION"
AS CHURCH FESTIVAL
Glee Clubs. Readings and Special
Music in Entertainment
at Epiphsnv.


at Epiphany.
'"The New Creation" listed as
festival, was given yesterday after
noon in the Church of the Epiphany
by the choir of the church, Adolf
Torovsky. organist and director, and
by the three Y. w. c. A. slee clubs.
The festival Is the reading of selected
portions OF the Bible and selections
from the works of religious writer's.
The Rev. DR.. ZeBarney Phillips, rec
tor OF the church, read for the
prophet and Mrs. Charming Johnson
read for the pilgrim. The musical
part was composed of several hymns
and one or two musical portions from
the church service. The musical set
tings were not especially inspiring and
the ciphering of the organ marred
that portion OF the festival. MIR.
Torovsky cleverly changed the key OF
more than one of the musical por-
tions, fitting the key TO the note
which had the cipher. and the choir
sang some OF the music without ac-
compartment, which was very effec-
tive.
