Violin Has
Old Magic
Concert Becomes Rite in
Hands of Supreme
Artist.
BY JAMES THRASHER

BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Nov. as
The magic of Fritz Kreisler's violin
playing again cast it's spell over a
large audience here tonight. 1t
was an enthusiastic throng, drawn
not only from the university S
student body and citizens of Bloom
ington. but from those throughout
the state to whom a Kreisler con-
cert is more of rite than a musical
event
A Midas of music is this great
VienneSe; a master in whose hands
the furnished pieces of old
familiar music are turned to gold
Kreisler gave us first the Devils
Trill" sonata of Tartini and the
Sarabande and Clique from Bach's
Pargita in D Minor for violin alone
exquisitely done with freshness and
originality of conception but never
out of keeping with the classic
style.
Next he chose to do the A Minor
Concerto of Viotti, a work which
the passing years have shuntec
from the concert platform to the
studio. But KreiSler's consummatt
genius transcribed the many
| bleak bars of this ancient ano
familiar opus; a genius which frs
gave new life and substance to the
thin accompaniment. recreated thu
cadenzss and then. in performance
gave the music a new beauty which

through all their days
Next came KreiSler's own Pre-

Opera to Close
With >Lohengrin'
San Carlo to Give Wagner
Work SATURDAY..

Wedding March and all, "Lohen-
grin" will be heard at English's Sat-
urday as the closing performance of
the San Carlo Opera Co. The march,
inevitable musical accompaniment
to weddings in three countries, is to
take its proper place as the prelude
to the third act of this music drama
OF medieval legend.
In the leading roles Indianapolis
will hear Goeta Liungberg as Elsa
and Dimitri Onofrei as Lohengrin.
Nine. Ljungberg, guest artist from
the Metropolitan Opera Co.. is a
native of Sweden, and sang with the
Royal Opera of Stockholm, at
Covent Garden in London and in
the Berlin State Opera before COM
ing to this country. Mr. Onofrei is
a Rumanian tenor whose American
appearances have been with the San
Carlo He has been called the
greatest Lohengrin since Jean de
Reszke.
Richard Wagner conceived the
idea Of the opera during his Paris
years (1839-42), but actual writing
was not begun until the summer of
l845 during visit to Bohemia. 1t
was completed in 1848.
Right to Crown Challenged
The plot, very briefly, concerns
Elsa, Duchess of Brabant, who is
challenged by the scheming Telra-
mund and his wife, Ortrud, on her
rights to the crown. They allege
that she murdered her brother, Cod
fried, heir to the title.
Elsa prays for a champion to fight
her battle In answer, a shining
knight comes, standing in a boat
drawn on the river Scheldt by swan
He agrees to fight ElSa's battle and
make her his wife on condition that
she never ask his name or home.
Lohengrin readily vanquishes Tel
ramund in battle, and he and Elsa
are married. But Ortrud has planted
doubt in her mind, and already she
is overcome by fatal curiosity. On
their wedding night, she asks the
sacred questions. To make matters
worse, Telramund tries to kill the
bridegroom and is killed himself.
Tells His Story
According to predestined fate,
Lohengrin must depart Before the
assembled multitude he tells his
story and leaves in the swan boat,
which now is drawn by a dove. The
swan remains, transformed into the
missing Godffeid. Elsa dies.
Wagner's "Lohengrin" score is
famous and beautiful 1t contains
such familiar numbers as Elsa S
Dream Lohengrin's Farewell to
the Swan" and the Narrative" and
"Ortrud's Invocation" in addition
to the well-known prelude to the
first and third acts.
The story. based on an obscure
and minor legend, half pagan and
half Christian. is rather trivial You
may, if you wish, read great deal
of philosophy and hidden meaning
into it, as some do. To them, Wag-
ner is the hero; the mystic secret is
his visionary art. 1t is a logical
idea, for Wagner was plagued with
many questions regarding the source
and meaning of his music. Too, he
imagined he was the victim of vii
lainy and sorcery.
However interpreted, it is a power
full example of early Wagner, and

UNCLE WIGGHY'S PUMPKIN
SEED PARTY

Once upon a time when Uncle
Wiggily was watching Nurse Jane
Fuzzy Wuzzy slicing a pumpkin to
make a pie he asked the muSkrat
lady housekeeper:
What do you do with the seeds
Of the pumpkin, Janie?"
Why, nothing" she answered
Pumpkin seeds aren't any good.
oh, yes, they are, said Mr.
Longears. when I was a boy
rabbit we used to roast pumpkin
seeds in a frying pan on the stove
and very good they were, too. Yum!
YUM I can almost taste those
roasted pumpkin seeds now. They
were almost as good to me as roast
chestnuts were to some squirrel
boys I played with. Mr.. Bushytail,
the father of Johnnie and Billie,
was one. He and I were boys to-
gether"
7 can believe that said Nurse
Jane, but I can't believe there is
anything good to eat in roast

oh, therell be other things to
eat of course, Twisty," said the
rabbit gentleman.
The night of the party the Hol-
low Stump Bungalow was filled
with guests, young and old, for the
children also were invited. Uncle
Wiggily was very busy hopping
around. His wife and Nurse Jane
took care of everything to eat ex-
cept the pumpkin seeds.
Roasted in Frying Pan
III roast them myself-I'm the
only one who knows how" said Mr..
Lon9ears. He put lot of pumpkin
seeds in frying pan and set it on
the stove. They'll be roasted in a
little while" he told his guests.
Then we'll have a feast. Mean
while let's play games"
While they were playing Try to

all of a sudden Nurse Jane came
running in from the kitchen shout

Gle Wiggily. Il see smoke! I smell
smoke! Is the bungalow on fire,
Janie?'
No, but your pumpkin seeds
are" she said. You forgot to stir
them and they're all burned as
black as tar. They're spoiled"
oh dear!' said Uncle Wiggily
7 forgot to watch them. I'm Sc

how roast pumpkin seeds taste"
Il think it isn't much loss! !!
laughed Mr. Twistytail I'D rather

day Luckily there we're plenty
of other good things to eat, SO the

Mr.. Longears was disappointed but

OUTSIDE THE LAW

When federal Judge in Los Angeles
dismissed charges of piracy against five
men accused of robbing a gambling ship
anchored three and a quarter miles off
Los Angeles harbOr-iuSt outside the
three-mile limit - he virtually served
notice on gambling ship proprietors that
they operate at their own risk. The |.
S. court held that the ship was not on
the high seas. State prosecutors prey
iouSly declared they had no jurisdiction
because the ship was outside the three
mile zone. Further cOmplicating the sit
uation. the gamblers themselves have,
when faced with possible prosecution by
state or federal authorities. contended
that they are outside the jurisdiction of
either. Their ships are not listed in the
United States marine registry. There
fore, they are not American ships. Only
when thugs raid them, making away with
thousands of dollars worth of loot. do
they seek any traffic with either state or
federal authorities.
1t is an endless chain, always return
ing to the place from which it starts. The
gamblers, operating outside the law in
the conduct of their own business, are
outside the law also when their business
is attacked by others who are outside the
pale.
The situation may not be a healthy one,
especially for visitors to the gambling
ships. Each day they are in operation,
cash boxes Of the ships take in heavy
contributions from the credulous who
play against Lady Luck. With such a
loot in prospect, there will always be
gangs willing to take the chance of blaz-
ing guns in return for the chance of es-
Gaping with pocketsful of gold. In turn,
proprietors of the ships cannot afford to
be unguarded. The result will be a crew
Of heavily armed guards aboard each
gambling snip, against the possibility Of
a raid. Such raid might bring on a
pitched battle reminiscent of the days of
piracy as told in story books. Sight
seers oh the ships would be the losers.
The only remedy lies in efforts now
going forward for new federal legisla-
tion to regulate the gambling ships.

MARRIED MEN GENERALLY HAPPIER THAN WIVES

STANFORD PSYCHOLOGY PROFESSOR FIGURES IT

PALO ALTO, Cal. Oct 26. Up
Married men are happier than their
wives.
Married women are more merce-
nary than divorces.
Half of the unhappily married
people would deliberately pick the
same mate if they had it TO do over
again.
If you don't believe it, you'll have

professor of psychology at Stanford
University. who has just released Of

According 10 DR.. Terman's survey.
the odds are about to l against
the newly weds' chances for a life
long honeymoon. Only 100 of the
300 couples were happily married.
Another 100 were definitely unhappy
and 100 were diced.
Age Not Problem
Differences in age between hus-
band and wife, generally regarded
as one of the principal causes OF
marital unhappiness. has nothing
to do with it, Dr. Terman found. His
survey indicated no relation be-
tween happiness and the age OF
marriage nor between happiness and
age differences in couples
The marital happiness of the new

important. Of the 100 happily mar

18 per cent Of this group said then

Children No Tie
The old idea that children make
for a happy home also has no foun-

They do, however tend TO make di.

HEARST, THE CALIFORNIAN

William Randolph Hearst began with
a morning newspaper in San Francisco
to build up the largest newspaper chain
in America. Its counterpart in Los An
geles is the most profitable single unit
of the Hearst organization, paving the
way for California papers in the Hearst
chain to make California the state which
pays most into the Hearst Golfers each
year. Only HearSts peculiar editorial
tactics prevent him from becoming,
through his newspapers, a ranking lntIu-
ence in political life of the State-a pos
ition he is said TO covet more than any
thing else.
Hearst whose father was a pioneer
and who is a native son in his own right.
found California good California gave
him a start he might never have achieved
elsewhere. California turned over to
him many millions of dollars. CalifOr-
MIA made the Hearst fortune possible in
all its magnitude. California MADE
Hearst.
Then California got slapped
The man who lost his newspaper cam

tax program takes out his spite by pack
ing bag and baggage-all except MS
money making papers-and leaving Cal
ifornia. He blames the state for taking
80 to 90 per cent of his income, append
ing as an afterthought that the figures
are arrived at by adding the states l5
per cent to the federal surtaX of SO per
cent, besides regular federal income
taxes His next step, if Hearst follows
his logic, will be to desert the United
States entirely. France, loving him as
France does, might admit him tax free.
France probably would like very much
to have Hearst under French jurisdic-
ton for while.
To the observer of Hearstian psychol-
ogy it seems that the gentleman in Ques-
ton is using his knowledge of mass re-
action to prevent making a campaign liar
of his newspaper string. Hearst de-
clared batantly, while fighting the
states tax program, that the wealthy
would exit from California at approx
mately the same instant the program
was adopted The only exodus notice
able has been on regular summer vaca-
tion schedule and the vacationers were
quite happy to get home again. All of
which was not to Hearst's liking, so the
old bell-wether himself evidently de-
cided to teach his native state a lesson
by showing the way to the timid ones
who were afraid to take their fortunes
out of California
Hearst hasn't thought much of Cali
fornia since it refused to elect him gov

does not follow his leadership blindly,
