ORGAN RECITAL IS
CONVENTION FEATURE
Charlotte Klein Heard at Library
of Congress Yesterday
= Morning.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

As one of the final events OF the
Tri-Chapter Convention of Organists,
held this week in Washington, q re-
cital by Charlotte Klein, organist of
st. Margaret's Church. was given yes
terday morning in the auditorium OF
the Library Of Congress. The recital
was preceded by a talk by Oliver
Strunk. chief of the music division OF
the Library, on the beginnings OF
organ music in Germany.
Miss Klein's program was admirably
arranged to illustrate the early Ger
man writers for the organ, touching
on their contemporaries in other lands.
Beginning with "Preambula" by
Adam Ieborgh. written in l448, works
of Paumann and Orgelbuch of the
same century were added to this
group. The sixteenth century was
represented by compositions Of Vir-
dung, Schlick, Bermuda. de Cabezon
and Gabriel. The writings of the
following 100 years we're demonstrated
by works of Merulo, Scheidt, Scheide-
mann. Tunder, Weckman, Pachelbel
and Buxtehude.
The recital proved to be one Of the
most enligtening ever presented here
and especially appropriate for the in
terest of the visiting organists. The
sincerity and profoundly of Miss
Klein's musicianship was illustrated
by the choice of numbers and her
sympathetic interpretations. Possess
ing an unusually expressive tone. Miss
Klein is further able to infuse it with
delicacy and charm that calls atten-
tion in special manner to the poetic
power of the organ. Her technique
is limpid and fluent. with occasional
viril moments that reveal an interesting
range of talent, the grace of which
Is not always present in players Of
the organ. Her intuitive understand
ing of the old masters was brought
out in the refinement of phrasing and
balance of nuance which her thought
full study had discovered to best dis
close the rich content of these early
compositions. Appreciation by the
audience brought an encore at the
end of the program.
Yesterday afternoon, Catherine Nor
gan, organist at Hawes Avenue M. E.
Church, Norristown, Pa, was heard
in recital on the new organ recently
installed in the Army Chapel at Fort
Myer.

"RECKLESS" HELD AT
PALACE ANOTHER WEEK
Picture Stars Jean Harlow and
William Powell, With Good
Supporting Cast.

After taking a careful census Of
the contents of Reckless" that DASH
ing modern saga of love among the
glossy set, we find the only thing
missing in its amazing catalog of
events is a bull fight. There are
horse races, musical comedies with
back-stage shots), poker games,
drinking bouts, fox hunts, wrestling
matches, newspaper mems games of
hide and seek with celebrities, sew
eral fist fights, one of the most re-
markable society weddings ever
filmed. bird-dog trial, chess prob
lem-all the sports of Broadwayites
and gilded play boys in this solemn
year of civilization.
Needless to say, the irreverent antics
of Miss Jean Harlow, William Powell,
Franchot Tone and their sidekicks
contribute literally to the cinema
circus held over for a second week
at Loew's Palace. Better casting
could not have been done, Miss Har-
lows general demeanor giving great
point to the story of the musical
comedy star who married an alco-
holic young multi-millionaire and
found she couldn't do anything to
snap him out of the rum-dums, fail
ing for the simple reason that his
family despised her and his friends,
resented his jilting a former fiancee
for a champagne marriage with the
torch songstress.
Mr.. Powell is, Of course, suave, hu-
man and completely satisfactory as
the gambler who beneath his rough
exterior nurses a bleeding heart, and
Mr.. Tone tops them all with his real
istic performance as the poor little
rich boy with the disposition of a
rattlesnake.
Happily. the producers of Reckless
were not so concerned with obvious
morals or shabby melodramatics as
with the manufacture of a swiftly
paced vehicle, spattered with bright
cracks and punch sequences In other
words, they set out to construct an
entertainment and they hewed close
to the line, with success. Never a dull
moment, no matter what strange de-
vices are used to avoid them.
May Robson. Nat Pendleton and Ted
Healey keep things funny when the
tale seems about to slip off into the
slough of sentiment and despond.

MYSTERY AND COMEDY
IN entertaining PLAY
Tart and Talent Club Stages
Original Drama With Ex-
cellent Cast.

Take quite a bit of mystery, add
a dash of comedy, fill it full OF
dramatic suspense, put trick end
ing on it, serve rapidly for two hours.
and you have a really entertaining
play. This formula was followed sue
cesSfully by the Tart and Talent
Club last night when 1t presented
BLACK Peter Returns at H." an
original play by Hall Hopper. who
also directed the players.
The whole thing concerned the
Vaccinations of clever Englishman
bent on proving that he is not the
thick and stupid person his fellows
believed him to be. Arthur McCar-
rick as this Oxford Cor maybe Cam
BRIDGE accented Englishman, Percy
B. wellington, cleverly carries out a
neat little ghost scheme.
The part of the distraught house
holder upon whose premises all this
takes place was well handled by John
Brasel. He was the one level-headeo
person in the whole outfit. His at
tempts to keep the others in line and
get at the bottom of the mystery
called for some difficult straight act
ing, which he did capably.
Helping Percy in his various
schemes was the soft-footed servant
girl, Martha, played by Dorothy
Manning. She will be remembered
for her soul-searing scream in the
first act. Another character who
should be remembered, this time fol
her work in putting the spice o1
comedy into the performance, Is
Margaret Buynitzky as Bernice
Whiscomb, a blond would-be poetess
alternately in love with Percy ano
Robert mason Hardy.
Other performers excellently filling
their roles last night were Helen
Shields, Carleen Loeffler. Theodore
Drake, Virginia Brown. Alasor
Franking, Philip ]. Won Stoeger and
Julius Buynitzky.
A great deal Of the credit for the
success of this performance goes tc
Howard Whitfield, who designed the
scenery. The whole setting had q
perfect air of mystery about it that
helped immeasurably to create the
atmosphere so necessary to a per-
formance of this kind. G. E. H.

IhlS is not Madam butterfly
legend Merle Oberon is a young
japanese girl who falls in love with an
Englishman. But she is married to
Marquis Yorisaka. Japan's ace sea
succumbing to the Englishman have
nothing to do with that opera upon
which most Americans base their
stories.
Adapted from the great French
novel, La Bataille," by Claude FaIere,
it presents a man stepped in the am
bition of victory" So long as he can
give everything to his country. the
task of being a kind and considerate
husband has very little interest. Thus
it is that while he is fighting his bat
ties his wife is fighting her own, his
victories being topped by her inevitable
tragedy-the tragedy of losing both
her lover and her husband.
1t is difficult to express this theme
in the terms in which it is presented.
The victory complex dominates the
story. But. after the marquis greatest
triumph, which he has won only after
Switching information from the rival
Englishman, and after the English
man is killed in the same battle, he
realizes that he has nothing more to
live for. So he kills himself in the
old Japanese manner. while the bells
of the town ring out in wild eXultatlon
over the victors Homecoming.
Through all of this Charles Boyer,
who used to be. and probably still is,
the matinee idol of the French movie
public. carries himself with dignity
and sinister restraint. He acts his
role with the dour excellence that is
necessary to make the film as arrest
ing as it is. Opposite him Merle
Oberon plays the neglected wife with
that unspoiled charm that has char
acterized all her roles up to date,
and the young Englishman is well
enough in the hands of John Loder.
A slow picture, this. at the outset.
yet strangely interesting-andi it will
be admired by adult audiences who
Evening star., 1935-04-27

have hankering for something new
and different.
INA MERKEL, Franchot Tone and
" Metro Goldwyn- Mayer put their
heads together in "One New York
Night" to see how best they can kid
the modern mystery movie. They kid
and they kid and they kid-but
somehow the kidding never quite
comes off Miss Merkel is moderately
amusing. MIR. Tone tries very hard,
corpses fall out Of trunks and into
elevators, and a crazy man wanders
through a hotel looking for his dog.
But as the cheerful lady to our right
said yesterday after all, who cares?"
Who does? Well-some of the audi
ence certainly at Yesterdays first
show-for there was applause at the
end of it and evidence of interest all
the way through it.
Due to the light-hearted eXpertness
of the principals, "One New York
Night" isn't really the worst movie of
the year When the maid comes into
that hotel room in which the battle of
the century has been staged. she says
sweetly. Some party!" At another
point Mr.. Tone, as he admires Miss
Merkel's various features, with the
idea perhaps of making her his wife,
he asks her if her teeth are her own.
Not bad, either.
So. considering one thing and an
other-and with Conrad Nagel as a
villain for chance-"One New York
Night" is possible. 1t isn't probable
but it's possible. And the stage show
has some really good stuff. what with
Gertrude Nielsen cracking out mean
contralto plus some illusive topnotes
and showing you how a song really
should be sung, Cookie Bowers adding
new note to his repertoire as he
shows you how a lady behaves when
she is on her way to bed, Bryant. Rains
and Young in familiar and dignified
adagio. and a great many dancing
girls. highly effective as they get up
on their toes.

Old Stage Route
Is ReestdbIished

Apparently, the Old Butterfield
stage route, or at least the stations
on the line, is becoming reestab-
liShed. The chamber of commerce
today received information about
the reopening of the Old Butter
field Stage Tavern at Oak Grove
in northern San Diego county, on
the line of the new Imperial High
way. According to Manager Will
liam II. Daughtrey, Jr., the present
tavern keeper of the old hostelry,
you can gain the atmosphere OF
this ITO year old inn by spending
the night or a longer period in its
historic remains. The Buttertield
Tavern" " Daughtrey has written,
"was operated as such for more
than ITO years and served as one
of the most important overnight
stops when from 1853 to 1861, the
Butterfield stages travelled between
st. Louis and San Francisco. -
With the recent hard surfacing
of the old highway, traffic so
neaVy 10 years ago curing liie sOIu-
rush has been revived on the But
terrified stage route now the Imper-
ial Highway, and has justified the
of the old stage station

course, in the ultimate completion
of this road because eventually 1t

largest sources of motor traffic and
