Talent and
Fine Music
TO Be Heard
RiCCi and Beautiful Works
to Be Presented by
Symphony.
BY JAMES THRASHER

Tomorrow nights indianapolis
Symphony Orchestra concert prom
ises to be one of the most interest,"
ing in the history of the organiza-
ton from the standpoint of talent
and program.
First, it is to offer as guest So
loiSt that amazing young violinist.
Ruggiero Ricci. This is the initial
presentation of an internationally
known artist in conjunction with
the orchestra.
The program includes a movement
from a symphony written by Saul
Bernat. a member of the local or
chestra's first violin section. Young
composers often are discouraged
from writing by the seeming hope
leSsneSS of getting a hearing for
their works. But we hope that to-
morrow nights concert will encour-
age orchestral writing by talented
and sincere composers within the
radius of the orcheStra's influence.
Three Beautiful Works
Looking beyond the featured num-
berS we find that Ferdinand Schae-
fer, conductor, has chosen three
works of unquestioned beauty and
merit. To be heard first is the
First Symphony. c Major" by
Beethoven. This work was heard
first in Vienna in 1900. Patterned
after the symphonies of Haydn. the
music still bears the unmistakable
stamp of Beethoven'S genius. though
without the tremendous power of
his later works.
AS the first of the nine immortal
symphonies the &C Major" has an
historical Importance aside from its
intrinsic beauty 1t was with this
work that Beethoven first lifted or
cheStral music from the laps of the
aristocracy into the hearts of the
people.
To open and close the last part of
the program we are to hear Smet-
| ana's "Vltava," and Tschakowsky
overture, Romeo and Juliet"

In his tWenty-fifth year on the
screen, Barrymore is playing what
he considers one of the most i'm
portant parts of his entire career,
that of Nat Miller in the motion
picture version of Eugene O'Neill's
"Ah, Wilderness"
Today, he believes is the day of
the character actor.
In the old days." he says, "all
stories dealt with adolescent love
a sweet young girl and boy-and
any character players were merely
incidental Ornamentation
But when the screen found it's
voice, erudite profundities or spark
ling dialogue didn't sound right
coming from the mouths of babes,
as it were. Thus we character play
ers and older actors came into pic
lures"
When he played in his first pic
ture, 1.-THE New York Hat" with
Mary Pickford quarter century
ago, 1t was considered disgrace on
the stage to do such a thing. But
Barrymore declared there was some
thing ahead in the new toy"
In the silent days he played he
roes, comedy roles or anything that
came along. He came to Hollywood
in 1924 to play in Rex Beachs 1.-The
Barrier" and has lived there since.
With the advent of talkies, Barry
more went in for directing but re-
turned as an actor in "a Free Soul"
with Norma Shearer.
He sometimes thinks he would
like to return to directing, but his
succession of splendid portrayals
have kept him in demand before
the camera.

It's never very exciting in Tahiti.

little map of the United States. He
made an enlarged copy, putting in

the whole thing TO show the

Few of them had heard of Indian

OPERATIC PROGRAM
AT WASHINGTON CLUB
International Art Forum Present
ed Group of Four Vocalists
Last Evening.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN


The International Art Forum Amelia
Cont, founder and president. pre-
presented a group of singers in an
operate program last evening at the
Washington Club The artists who
took part were Regina Vicarino, So
prano; Justin Lawrie, tenor; Anne
Yago McGuffey, contralto, and Harlan
Randall, baritone. Nation Boyce was
the accompanist.
The program was divided into three
sections, and if the notice, mo en-
cores" did not appear at the foot Of
the list of numbers, the enthusiastic
audience would not have been content
without many repetitions. The first
opera chosen was Leoncavallos "Pag
liacci" and from it was taken the
Prologue" sung by Harlan Randall;
the "Ballatella," by Regina Vicarino,
followed by the duet between Media
and Silvio, sung by these two artists,
and finishing with the "VeSti la
Giubba" aria, sung by Justin Lawrie.
In Bizet's Carmen" Anne Yago
McGuffey sang the two famous arias,
'Habanera" and "Seguidilla," finishing
with the duet, with Mr.. Lawrie sing
ing the part of jose In the duet be-
tween Carmen and Escamillo, from the
last act of the opera, Harlan Randall
was the Escamillo. previously singing
the well-known "Toreador Song"
The program finished with Verdi's
"Rigoletto." After the Cara Nome"
aria, sung by Nine Vicarino, the tenor
aria, La Donna Mobile" by Mr..
Lawrie, and the duet between Mad
delena and the Duke, sung by Mrs.
McGuffey and Mr.. Lawrie, the four
artists concluded with the Quartet"
from Act w.
The idea Of the concert was novel
one, well rendered by the experienced
singers, and the interest of the audi
ence proved that more hearings of
operate excerpts would be welcome.

span OF six horses, standing up, in
circuses ever since.
And that brings us straight back to
our picture. Mr.. Thalberg thinks 1t
would be a great thing to cut and pre-
view our picture before the first scene
is shot Some of our funniest scenes
have been taken out of our picture.
It will be minus the sequence which
shows some real hot-dog fun in an
open-air restaurant, two sheets and
pillowcase in state room on an ocean
liner. hotel room without a tele-
phone, and a capriccio and a couple
of cadenzas from our opera-holse
scene.
The biggest scene was too hot for
the censors, so they threw cold water
on it. That was the scene where the
opera house took fire. Three opera
houses were burned down in re-
hearsals, so it proved to be ticklish
business and the thing was scratched.
When we take our visual scenes out
on the road, we will have our own
Pullman car, company of Is artists
and a cup Of coffee. Salt Lake will
have the f1rSt laugh. HarpO insisted
on opening the road show there be-
cause the city has promised us the
key to the Mormon temple.
When Chico learned we were only
going to play west of the Great
Divide, he refused to play. He insists
Reno is the Great Divide and Salt
Lake is east of there.
From Salt Lake we 60 to Seattle,
playing all the best golf courses along
the way. We haven't been in Seattle
for Is years, so we probably will use
the jokes we used IS years ago, which
ought to get a laugh out of Seattle
because they won't remember them.
Then again, it might be q laugh If
they do.
We will then play our way down
the coast to San Francisco, after
which we will bring our visual scenes
back here and put what is left of
them into our biggest and newest
picture!

Two Kinds of Death Offered

Invoking Estonia's new law giving
o criminal his choice of two kinds of
execution, a 24-year- -old man who had
murdered his mother, was allowed, at
Dorpat, to decide whether he wished
to be hanged or to take poison. He
chose hanging. Estonia is the first
country in the world to provide an
alternative form of execution. If a
man sentenced to death does not wish
to face the gallows he is supplied with
poison, which he must take.
