Mr.. Van Hoogstraten's interpreta-
tions
One sensed throughout the program
the absolute clarity which existed in
the conductors mind as to the emo
tlonal progressiveness Of the works
he was reproducing. Bit by bit he
built up a perfect structure Of the
Brahms Academic Festival Overture"
and the magnificent "Eroica" SYM
phony Of Beethoven. Directing with
a ceaseless inspiration. Mr.. van Hoos-
straten moved from phrase to phrase,
leaving each behind with all its
technical and musical significance
fully stressed. Yet in the end. one
was the more conscious of the work
as whole. so subtly did Mr. van
Hoogstraten sustain the continuity
of idea.
HIS conducting is marked by force
and vitality, insistence and grace.
Particularly fine were the legato pas
sages, in which the orchestra proved
its gain in polish. In fact, the re-
sponse of the orchestra to every in
dication of the guest leader, its sharp
definition Of light and shade. its So
norous tone and personal abandon in
feeling were constant sources of pleas
ure
The Academic Festival Overture"
was given a vital reading. firmly
marked in detail and brilliantly COL
ored. In the "Eroica," the same
spirited approach was retained to be
developed into moments of real
grandeur. Individual sections of the
orchestra held the attention from
time to time. merging again into the
interpretative frame at the indication
of the watchful conductor. It was a
satisfying performance in which the
dynamic personality Of the director
and the proficiency of the orchestra
blended into the rich pattern of the
music Of the master composers with
skillful ease.

one of Walter Hampden's celebrated
Shakespearean performances.
Max Reinhardt picked himself a
plum when he happened upon Mr.
Brown for Flute the Bellows Mender.
For without the benefit of that mon
strous cavern which Mr.. Brown reveals
when he filings his jaws apart. with
out more than half one of those
howls which have delighted the chill
dren and also their mammies in this
land, Mr. Brown proved himself to be
the kind of a clown of which Mr..
Shakespeare must have dreamed-a
fellow with squint. quizzical stare,
and no evidence that there we're any
brains above it.
Mr.. Brown thus blasts the theory
that he is best when he is either on
a bicycle, at ball game, or catching
ninnows. We suspect that if he
wanted to he could probably make a
pretty good job out of Hamlet. AS it
is, he does all the things that he is

Her tone is not so large nor so

for in major part she was amply

Her charm Of manner and genuine

COMEDY is DOMINANT
IN SHOW AT GAYETY
Several Individual Acts Are At

COMEDY, rather than the specially

show at the Gayety worth seeing.
The bill is supposed to be headed by
Edna "Hot-Cha" Dee. but her appear
ances are brief and to the point, and
they do not linger as long in the
memory as do those of the less prom
inently billed players.
Charlie Goldie is the one who makes
this show come to life. His vim and
enthusiasm keep it moving along at
a good pace most of the time, but he
scores top when he does one Of his
tap-acrobatic dance numbers. In
spite of the unusual sort of competi-
ton offered by Ginger MCGEE and
even Dorothy Ahearn in competitive
dance routine, he leads them all in
audience popularity.
Johnny "I'll-Kill- Him" Barry scores
q hit, too, with several of his comedy
scenes. but Mac Dennison draws a
tremendous ovation with his Broth
er, Can You Spare a Dime?" and
then draws it again when he repeats
the song as Maurice Chevalier. Jack
Pearl and Harry Richman might do it.
Lucille Wayne leads the troupe of
Byranettes in several unusual dancing
numbers. They are not the usual
routine thing, but are genuine efforts
at ballet style of dancing, and they
seemed to be enjoyed by the audience.
Harold and Reeves can sing, too, and,
what is more, they do it.
A little more enthusiasm and a few
more smiles on the part of the Byran-
cites would go long way toward i'm

screen comedy" venture. While he
has failed to make some of the actors
speak their speeches the way Shakes
peare should be spoken, or rather per-
haps the way we have been accus-
toned to hear it spoken, he has
humanized and "simonized" this riot
Gus classic so that few will not be
able to understand it.
Into its tangled web of romance,
music has been added to the famed
Mendelssohn score with considerable
success, and the largeness OF the
scenes has been painted with an ele-
CANT brush. Titania has never been
lovelier (due to the sometimes unbe-
lievably beautiful Anita Louise); little
Olivia De Haviland plays the same
part that she did when out in the
open, and at the Hollywood Bowl she
had most of California at her feet;
Victor Jorey is an excellent Oberon-
and while you may not care for Mickey
Rooney's Puck, which has been called
sort of midget Tarzan, it struck us
that if Puck had lived today and you
took some of the sound out of him,
he might very well come to life in
such an impish wanderer.
Dick Powell is far from happy In
the role of one of the lovers. and
Ross Alexander, able actor that he is,
nevertheless sidesteps his part. too.
And lot of people don't seem to care
for Jimmie Cagney's hard-working

WHEN a children's story has the

Of successive groups of children over
a long period of years. 1t is that
which filled the National Theater

popularity to its author. Mary Mapes

public esteem. 1t is probable that the
volume of applause and intensity Of
interest that appeared in the audi
torium of the National Theater has
never been surpassed in the long his
tory of this piece of childhood fiction.
III its background is the fascination
of competition on the ice-a skating
contest which represents juvenile
achievement. The skating is realisti-
cally represented on the stage.
Associated with this outdoor sport
is the problem of poverty. which in
wolves sacrifice and generosity, and
the devotion Of family to parent
who has suffered for years as result
of an injury. These homely qualities
have an appeal which never fails.
The simple course of the story is
illuminated with the several develop
ments which bring out the kind in
terest of the great surgeon. who per-
forms priceless service without COM
pensation, although the children
would have sacrificed their own for
tunes in the ice competition to pro-
vide for the curing of the parent.
But, instead of a financial reward,
the family whose parents has been
brought to an intelligent condition
restores to the great surgeon, through
the patients revived recollection. a
son who has been missing for years.
