freezing to the mechanism.

LIE VERSION 10 De uSeQ is Indt OF
Ernest Newman, dean of English
music critics and Wagnerian scholar,
whose concern it has been to give
not only an accurate translation,
but to assure "singability' and tonal
fluency.
Mr.. Goossens is the third genera
ton of pioneers in the field Of OPP
era in English. His grandfather
conducted translated versions of the
standard operas in the 1905, and
his son. Mr.. Goosens father, con-
tinued the work.
In preparing "Tannhauser" for
performance, the conductor first of
all chose what he holds to be the
best translation of the work. He
then selected cast with reference
to the beauty of their English die
ton as well as their vocal ability.
The result, he feels, is an aggrega-
ton of stars we'll equipped, by birth
and training, to give an artistic and
Ineligible performance.
Arthur Gerry Boardman is TO sing
the title part. Mr.. Goossens has
declared him the finest Tannhauser
have ever heard in an English ver-
sion of the opera"
The role of Elizabeth is to be sung
by Florence Easton, Metropolitan
Opera star, who, during the past
two or three years, has been en-
ployed by the British Broadcasting
Co. to teach radio performers good
diction.
Margaret Halstead will be the
Venus of the production. She is
American born, the granddaughter
of Murat Halstead, noted American
Journalist, and is a leading con-
tralto of the Metropolitan. Dennis
Noble and Herbert Gould are to
sing the roles of Wolfram and the
Landgraf.

ers claim that 253,O00,00O different
tone colors are available.
The Hammond Organ has been
perfected within the last year, and
first gained general notice ct the
San Diego Exposition, where one of
the instruments was installed in the
Ford Bowl, and was heard bv as
many as $4,000 people at one time.
The soloist was Walter F1andorf
who, before going to Chicago. was
organist at Christ Church and the
Circle Theater here.
Here is an inexpensive, mechanic
ally simple and almost fool proof
invention which apparently will
bring organ music within reach of
a greater public, and increase the
number of its performers. Already
the masterpieces of piano and or
chestra literature are becoming more
familiar to the average listener,
through help of radio and more
competent musical instructions. If
this new instrument can assist this
same average listener to better &C
quaintance with the monumental
organ works of Bach and Franck.
to name only two, it will have done
a great thing. (By j. I'd

Buster West to Be Main
Dancer; Lucille Page
Also in Cast.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

Although the legitimate season IN
Indianapolis this year has been
something to marvel at, there's been
something missing. Now that Vim
cent Burke, Englishs manager, an
nounces that Earl CAROLS "Vani-
ties" is TO play here Dec. 26, n and
%, we know what it was.
The show, which started wave
of popularity about itself when 1t
drew tremendous crowds here sew
eral years ago with w. G. Fields As
the chief comedian, is to have
Clark and Mccullough as the funny
men this year. Buster West will be
the main dancer, with Lucille Page
unfolding the woman's angle.
No partnership in show business
has stood as long and as fast as
that of Bobby Clark and Paul Nc
Cullough. Their friendship began
when they were boyhood pals IN
Springfield. O.
Had One Ambition
Together as youths they struggled
with one goal in mind--to join a
circus as acrobatS. They used to
slip away from school, go to see
every tent show that could be
reached via hitch-hiking. Every
spare hour was spent in the high
school or the local Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium, training on rings,
parallel bars. and horses.
They started out with one-ring
circus and graduated into under
canvas minstrel show which prompt
ly folded it's tents like the proVerbial
Arab, and sent the boys home. They
started anew, went over, gradually
worked up in the amusement world.
Although both have been offered
large single contracts their original
Damon and Pythias idea has held
fast through the years.
Another OF the circus folk who
has found his early experience as
good training is Mr.. West. nimble
dancer. Born in Norfolk, Va, Bus
ter began his stage life when his
father took him on a theatrical
tour, Mr.. Vests father was John
West. acrobat in the Walter L. Main
circus. After circus days, Buster
did turn in vaudeville with his
parents under the billing, Wells,
Virginia and West"
Danced in 'Follies"
Mr. West worked in his first big
show as dancer in Greenwich
Village Follies," and later in George
Whites Scandals" In the "Vani-
ties" he is given an opportunity to
display all the talent he has &C
quired, in acrobatic and trick tap
dancing
