Ronald CoIman Stars At Fox In
Man Who Broke the Bank

The Man Who Broke the Bank
at Monte Carlo" starring Ronald
Colman and Joan Bennett, is cur
rent at Loew's Fox. Let me say
at once that here is a picture
that is delightful, surprising and
done to the kings taste from be-
ginning to end.
The story is fantastic and un-
real. Certainly. But it still packs
the best hours entertainment
that have gladdened these squint-
ing eyes for many a day. There
is just the right touch Of insou.
Glance about the thing, the dia-
logue is light and at times witty
and the Scenery-well, my friends,
you just can't beat the Alps. And
some of the scenery in this film
is beautiful beyond the dreams Of
beauty.
COIman at His Best
Mr.. Colman appears at his best
and you will agree with me that
that is very good indeed. The
devil-may-care, man of the world
type fits him like a glove and
you will find his Characterization
in this play will hold your unflag-
ging interest until the end.
Joan Bennett, apparently more
beautiful than ever, does a very
tasty bit Of acting in q role that
will surprise you, unless this story
Is familiar to you.
The MeSsrS. Colin Give and
Nigel Bruce, sterling good troupers,
also present a full quota Of ex-
tremely worthwhile work for your
delectation.
The plot, as utterly mad as it
Is at times, Is vastly intriguing,
full Of unexpected twists and is
done with meticulous care.
For sheer entertainment value
you will find this screen play hard
to beat.
Singer Heads Stage Show
Heading the stage show is Joe
Morrison, of Hollywood and radio
fame, in a specially selected group
Of songs. Mr.. Morrison, a pleas
ant looking young man, sings with
splendid voice and repeats the
song he introduced, I'm Heading
for the Last Roundup" You will
find that this one feature alone
will repay you for a visit.
Ross and Edwards, probably
familiar to Fox patrons from previ-
Gus engagements, repeat their
humorous tomfoolery. In addi-
ton to their comedy, which is
Just as funny as ever, they offer
a little song and dance number
which adds to the gaiety Of the
occasion.
An orchestra, Helen Compton
and Her Bryn Mawr Girls, proves
to be one Of the outstanding hits
Of the program. Not by any
means an orchestra fan (the
radio has seen to that) neverthe-
less I enjoyed every minute of

trousers and a coat that yields
to the feminine influence by hav.

the cuffs, is g. very able and
colorful leader.
Beautifully Done Number
Their rendition Of Boots and
Saddle" cannot be described in
any word less than magnificent.
It's dreamy, dangerous, sad
rhythm will take you unawares.

With the orchestra is a trio
Of dancers, two boys and a girl,
who present some novel and
intricate numbers.
Opening the show are Carr
Brothers and Betty. The two men
stage some very difficult athletic
and tumbling stunts. The act is
clowned at first but the boys
come back with some straight
stuff so good that watching

However, he believes acting is
essential as a background for a

manner.
Far from being merely q work TO
marvel at, 1t has qualities of grace and
charm and deeply inspired human
emotion as well This especially in
tne heavenly adagio. When we then
consider that all this Is done with the
scantiest OF means (for instance. not

wonder whether music has progressed.
in some ways at least.
A remark which Prof Einstein made
TO me this Summer may be quoted:
To me- Mozart is the greatest Of them
all. know every work Of importance
he has written. And that is my re-
gret-think Of the marvellous expert
ence If could hear it all now for the
first timer
One OF the pleasures Of a young
orchestra IS the adding to its reper-
toire OF the great master works, and
cannot think of an addition for
which we can be more humbly CRATE
ful than for that of Mozarts greatest
symphony.
Concerto in D Minor for Piano and
Orch9stra ............... Brahms
OF THE two piano concertos of
Brahms, We have played the "B
Flat Major" with Mr. Horowitz and
with Mr.. Gabrilowitsch as soloists. II
is curious that this concerto is more
popular With the performers than the
ID Minor" as I am of the opinion
that certainly two 4novements are
greater than the corresponding two of
the other concerto. The opus num-
Der OF this work is Is, and it shows
not only the freshness and spontaneitv
OF inspiration which one would nat
urally connect with such a young
work, but also very definite mastery
IN the handling of what is alwavs a
dlfhcuIt medium, namely, a percussion
instrument (Which, in the last analv-
sis, the piano remains), in conbina-
ton with an orchestra.
Miss Hess Is known as an ideal ey-
Ponent OF Brahms in general and this
work in particular, and it is for that
reason that I will end the concert
with the impression which she un-
ooubtedly will create.

Notes on Program of
Symphony Orchestra Concert
Constitution Hall, Thursday 4:45 PM.
Soloist: Myra Hess, pianist.
BY DR.. Hans Kinder, Conductor.

Prelude in e Major" for all the
-HE performance by the entire
violin choir is purely a stunt
which nearly every orchestra
Il of importance, at one moment
or other, Is proud to do, and
at which point think we have ar
rived now
The Bach "prelude" is the first
movement of his well-known "E Major
Sonata" for violin solo, and Is sup
posed to be one Of the difflcult pieces
in the violin literature, which, how
ever, because of is homophonic char
acter, requires no elucidation whatso-
ever.
Symphony K-55l in C Major" (The
"JupiterD ............... Mozart
How often do we hear, when play
- ing something by Mozart, That
sounds like Beethoven" while with
early Beethoven one hears, That's
still very much like Mozart" lat
ter remark always in bit of slight
ing tone. We forget that whenever
Beethoven is like Mozart he is rarely
as perfect as Mozart, and that when
Mozart sounds like Beethoven, he
(Mozart) having lived before Bee
thoven, there are two possibilities:
/. That Mozart was ahead of his
time (as he was). 2. That Beethoven
copied Mozart land this is said with
all admiration for Beethoven). But
it shows Mozart to be the master" in
every instance.
It Is this very mastery which, with
the nearly continuous stream of in
spiration, puts Mozart on a height
which makes him definitely great,
and maybe too great for ordinary,
everyday consumption. We like in
our arts the more human element.
Hence Beethoven's and Brahms ap-
peal.
The "Jupiter" symphony, which
will be performed Thursday, is the
greatest work OF its kind that Mozart
has left us. Where architecture has
sometimes been called frozen music"
it probably would be this particular
music or Bach's which would most
aptly answer this designation. The

ing programs that would be of interest
to the group. and If this person could
receive your advance material 1t
would be of inestimable help to her"
A Connecticut radio editor says:
THE Junior High School, housing
1900 pupils, has installed the system
of microphone in each room. Pro-
CRANE selected by the principal as en-
tightening are tuned In and pupils are
forced to make notes of the talk or
discussion"
A director of music writes: II think
there Is no work more important for
the director of music in a school syS-
tenn than directing the attention of
the pupils and their parents to the
right radio programs. We have every
opportunity to announce the i'm
portant programs and to prepare
pupils for them and this public school
music department will do everything
in its power to aid you in this under
taking"
Here at last is something con-
Structively arranged for the better
ment of radio programs and of real
help in encouraging musical educa-
ton. Some three years ago Mussolini,
in his energetic fashion, seized upon
the radio as means of musical
education for his people. A definite
and supervised course of instruction
was planned and radio centers estab-
lished in every village and hamlet.
What this enterprising leader of one
of the greatest musical nations of the
world decided was a means of in
creasing musical appreciation among
a people who love music intensely has
at last been adopted also for our
music loving. but less educated (musi-
cally speaking) country.
We need to draw out our own musi-
cal talent. 1t is often hidden in rural
districts, among school children and
small town musicians. 1t is not neees-
sary that we have nation Of artists,
but certainly discriminating public
is our first consideration. 1t is about
time that the laient love of music
that has so wonderfully been demon
strated in concrete cases should be
encouraged to assert itself and helped
in its development.
We are fortunate in not needing to
grow by personal discovery. but rather
to aSsimulate all that has been worked
out by the most gifted of our times.
If these radio plans are carried out in
progressive order the history Of music,
the style Of composers, illustrated by
their outstanding works, the develop
ment of technique and finally the
great aim of music can be laid before
every one. Under the dictatorship of
man of Mr.. Sanborn's background
and education, together with the
others associated with him and the
institute. the public can feel sure
that what they hear is correct and
truly educational
