"JOY GIRLS" AT GAYETY
Joy La Rue Is Featured Female
Member of Company,

Member of Company.
A weak and slow-moving show is pre-
sented at the Gayety this week. in
the presentation of Joy Girls" with
Joy La Rue as the featured female at
traction.
Miss La Rue. although displaying
nice voice, fails to do anything else
that would merit attention. Ann
Mitchell Betty Joyce and Wanda Ca
sino are the others in the cast that
are displayed for approval, although
they failed to meet with any favor.
The Carroll Sisters. two nice-looking
blonds, sing and dance, but seem to
lack any outstanding number that would
warrant any favorable comment. There
is a noticeable lack of any outstand-
ing display women in the show, which
is the principal reason for the unbal-
ance that is SO readily seen.
Topping the comedy are three comics
of only average ability. Monte Bohn:
George Murray and Mickey Markwood
do the comedy Cor what passes for
comedy and are aided by Marvin Har-
mon and Floyd Hallisey as straights.
Bohn is perhaps the best of the trio.
and in company with Nancy Bonn, ne
does a boxing bit that is easily the
best single number of the evening. AS
for the rest of the comedy 1t is not
only weak, but Just bit too risque,
particularly the "c]ass room" skit.
The chorus, with a nice-looking
wardrobe. is ever present when the
ballets are produced, with Ben White
and Joy La Rue doing the singing, but
even this fails to bring the perform
ance up to the standard that has pre-
vailed at this theater for the past few
months. r. B. H.

For the first time in nearly 30 years
Kreisler sailed into New York Harbor
last week without Mrs. Kreisler, who
was unable to make the passage on
account of illness and who remained
behind at their home in Berlin. where
they spent the Christmas holidays to-
gether
Kreisler told reporters that he did
not play the violin while away from the
United States this time. He did, how
ever, play Christmas carols on the piano
because it has been the custom Of the
Kreislers childless themselves, to give
a Christmas party to the poor children
of Berlin, most of whom did not appre-
ciate however, how high-priced a SoloiSt
theirs was.

there until the Nazi ban against Jewish

Yesterdays presentation was on tne
whole most noteworthy, and DISCLOSED
the Oratorio Society as one OF serious
musical intent and Of nicely balanced
vocal power, of a quality to make the
ensemble singing interesting Except
in one or two places, there was a as
tinct feeling for the Importance OF one
division of the voices over the others,
and this bringing out and submerging
of the four vocal elements gave color
and interest to the general interpre-
tation.
Several Of the concerted moments
were especially well done, such as the
FIRST chorus And the glory OF the Lore,
the For unto us child is porn ana
Behold the Lamb of God"
The society gave the entire oratorlo
a dignified and thoughtful reading ano'

great works of this character are heard

with care, bringing out the musical
values with proper precision.

she sang with sincerity and finish.
In the orchestral accompaniment OF
the o-atorio the singers were somewhat
hampered at times by an unsteadiness
OF intonation and rhythm. The second
section of the strings was held to too
subdued a tone, so that the burden of
the work seemed to be on the first
violins and the piano. This unevenness
of balance was not present IN either
the playing of the Haydn symphony
or the Pastoral Symphony" of the
oratorio. In both of these, the or
chestra was convincing and alive. and
