the famous prologue from Leonca-

Mr.. Christian has a voice Of rich
quality In the lower register, but he
Jacks freedom in his high tones. He
has dramatic ability, though in his
singing last evening he showed lack
Of familiarity with the orchestral C
compartment. He took liberties with
the tempo TO the extent Of making 1t
difficult for the orchestra to follow
him, which is no excuse for the loud
playing in the accompaniment, COM
pletely drowning the voice in the "Pag-
hacci" prologue.
Three conductors will lead the Or

TOR, was cOnQucCeO laSC evening Dy'
Burle Marx Of Rio de Janiero, who
made his second appearance here as
guest conductor. Again he proved
himself capable musician, and the
vast audience showed much enthu-
siasm in many recalls and cheers at
the close Of the program.
The overture to Won Weber's "Eury-
anthe" was a beautiful beginning to
a varied program, followed imme-
diately by Beethoven's Symphony
No. in c Minor, Opus g." one Of
the most beautiful and familiar Of
his symphonies. Mr.. Marx gave a
conventional and academic reading
Of the score, bringing out the vari-
Gus themes and rich harmonieS.
Mr.. MARX was at his best with
the South American composers,
giving q suite by Juan Jose Castro
Of Argentina, Suite Infantil," a de-
lightful number which the orchestra
played with delicacy and excellent
ensemble. "Bebe s'Endort," written
for strings by Henrique Oswald of
Brazil, was the gem of the program,
the intriguing rhythm carrying rich
harmony with the melody. The tone
Of the strings was particularly warm,
the violas carrying much of the
melody.
In this number Mr.. Marks usual ar
rangement OF the orchestra showed its
advantage, but in the other numbers
which he has conducted there was no
advantage to the listener. la Grande
Paque Russo" of Rimsky-Korsakof
was brilliant and colorful, the clear
precision in the playing showing to
advantage.
Suite Brasileira," by Francisco
Mignone, another countryman of the
guest conductor, was typically Spanish
In its rhythm and wealth of brilliant
melodies and harmonies. The second
movement, "Lenda Sertaneja," was of
enticing rhythm and beauty of theme.
The orchestra closed the program
with the overture to Johann Strauss
Die Fledermaus," which gave many
a melody to carry away and which
ELECTED enthusiastic applause and
cheers when the conductor shared their
plaudits with the personnel Of the Or
chestra.

"EAST LYNNE" certainly takes a

miere in burlesque at the Press Club
auditorium.
This brisk lampooning given Mrs.
Woods drama turns out. of course,
to be riotous funfest for the good
citizens who gather round oil-clothed
ia bles to look on and cheer Justify for
Dick Midgley. the most righteous guy
who ever walked stage; to weep ten
derly over the battered love life of
poor Catherine Dierkin; to hiss. boo
and shout in derision at the heinous
villainies perpetrated by Bob Pitkin
who is despicable cur and betrayer
Of womanhood, and to whoop with glee
over lineup Of the dizziest entr'actes
on record.
In its broad burlesquing the cast
gives some rare readings to some rare
old lines. What with the refresh
ments. the general high glee of the
audience and those loony entr'acte
skits, you will sort Of overlook East
Iynne's" plot, but you will get more
laughs than you deserve in one eve
ming watching the thing tangle and
untangle so sadly.
You will get great kick out of the
unleashed enthusiasm and the un-
bounded lunacy with which the play
ers attack their work. The best Job
is done by Miss Dierkin, who Is one
grand actress, and who here plays
with sly good humor which enables
her to be the center Of attraction,
even when she's back in a corner
and some one else Is doing all of the
talking.
Every one is so we'll cast and plays
so adeptly that no one stands out.
Harriet Borden rustles a mean hustle,
minces about in a ghastly canter and
Is every inch the sour gal she is sup
posed to be. Bob Pitkin is the acme
Of villainy, with a nasty heh-heh, a
leer which no one could love, and un-
believable passion. Dick Midgley Is
a near panic as the pure husband
and Isham Keith, who has a rather
small role in the play but is splendid
in it, gets in his best work as a sort
of master Of ceremonies and COM
munity choir leader. Margaret Hat
field, Lucille Bartram, Forney Reese,
Robert Dorsey and young David Cat
lin Pritchard have less extensive roles,
but do them in manner in keeping
with the others.
Elizabeth Gatlin Pritchard directed.
She has done swell job. Hugo In

DI0NNE MOVIE
FILM WORK
TO BEGIN
BY CHARLES E. BLAKE


NORTH BAY, Ontario, Dec. 3
S0.-Hollywood moved into
uuintupletland in the midst of a
driving snow storm early today
as the 20 members Of the Twen-
tieth Century.Fox Studios ended
their 3,000-mile trek to this north
country.
The company will work with
the "Quints" in their hospital for
the next week or 10 days filming
a story tentatively titled The
Country Doctor"
The early morning arrival Of
the troupe brought out more than
100 North Bayites for their first
glimpse of movie people" in the
flesh.
The day was scheduled to be a
"get acquainted" period for d.
rectors and managers of the COM
pany.
Confer with DafOe
Immediately after breakfast Of
ficials of Twentieth Century-Fox
Studios conferred at length with
DR.. Allan Roy Dafoe when they
received their orders OF pro
cedure" and instructions as to
how they may carry out the work
of filming the "quints" in their
first feature length movie.
The trip north from Chicago on
the Grand Trunk-Canadian Ma
tional Railways was anything but
q quiet, peaceful journey.
At every station, photographers,
reporters and special writer's
boarded the train to chronicle
the movements of the small COM
pany suddenly become famous be-
cause they were en- route to DO
a picture of the quintS Of Cal
lander, in the stellar roles.
Henry King, noted Hollywood
director who has been through a
thousand or more Hollywood
SkirmisheS. said of the sudden
descent of newspaper people on
his train:
Never has a picture received
As much nationwide attention be
fore even one foot of the film has
been unrolled."
Sonya Levien, ace screen writer
of Twentieth Century-FoX Produc'
tions, who with this reporter wrote
the story Of The Country Doc
tor" spent practically the entire
day in conferences with Director
King. Jean Hersholt, who will
play the title role of DR.. Dafoe in
the picture, and Dorothy Peterson,
who will play the part OF the
doctors nurse.
Labor Troubles
Before being allowed to enter
Canada, the company was in
formed that a protest had been
filed against their entering the
Dominion. And not until Attor-
ncy Joe Moscowitz, Of the Twen,
tieth Century-Fox Studios agreed
to hire a Canadian union man for
every American technician enter
ing Canada was the company al
lowed to proceed.
Customs officials. both Ameri-
can and Canadian, however,
worked speedily to approve clear
ance Of cameras and other effects
belonging to the troupe.
CONSERVATION as to when actual
work of shooting the "quintS"
blanketed the private car. Daryl
Zanuck, production wizard OF the
studio, had issued orders that
every precsution be used to main
tain the friendliest Of relations
with the people Of Callander and
North Bay.
Already the highest-priced film
stars in the world, the cost Of
producing the "quints" picture
may be trebled if unnecessary de-
lays are placed before the COM
pany in "Quintuplet Land"

Face D. c. Supreme
Court Today.

Arthur Dutch MiSunaS, last of the
notorious tri-State gang, was to be
brought to District Supreme Court to-
day to enter plea to a charge of
robbery growing out of the Union Sta
tion hold-up a year ago.
Assistant United States Attorney
Julian I. Richards, who is handling
his last case for the prosecutors Office,
said Misunas if he should plead guilty
will be sent back to Richmond to serve
a 35-year penitentiary sentence i'm
posed there yesterday for the murder
of a mail truck guard.
Robert Mais and Walter LegenZa,
other members of the tri-State gang,
are awaiting execution in Richmond
for this murder. Misunas received the
jail term after turning States evi-
dence.
Other members of the gang alleged
to have participated in the Union
Station hold-up are John Dunn and
Sam Berlin, recently convicted of rob-
bing the Heurich Brewery. The in
dictments against these two in the

ticipated in the Union Station rob-
berry, is expected to be shown leniency
