BARTH CONCERT.

The Hans Barth concert which took

In his inimitable style he charmed
his audience with high reaches Of
impassioned performance in such
compositions as &c Sharp Minor
Etude" of Chopin and the Brahms
Theme and Variations" and also
In interesting digressions into the
most poised and delicate execution
of the Mozart Minuet" and his own
delightful "Grandmother's Music Box"
and "Vevery." His interpolated de-
scriptions told of the "Galuppi
Sonata" written in 1870, and until
Sunday unplayed in this country. also
another first performance being the
composition by the modern composer,
Gretchnaninoff, the Sonata in G
Minor" until recently unpublished.
His anecdotes of Chopin and
Brahms added touch of wit and the
clever arrangement of his program.
In this recital Mr.. Barth has added
scores to his already large list of
friends and admirers, musicians and
laymen, in the art.

ADVANCED GROUP.

Robert Ruckman presented q group
of advanced students Thursday evening
at the Washington College of Music.
While the program works represented
compositions not unworthy of the con-
sideration of the mature artist, they
were for the most part within the
grasp Of their young interpreters. The
Beethoven Sonata OPP. 81, No. 81
and the "op. 2, No. 81 were played
by Elizabeth Applegate and Marie
Boote, respectively. Mary Beth Garvey
was heard first in the prelude from
the Second English Suite" by Bach,
and later in the Chopin "Nocturne
Op. SIS, No. 1" and the same composers
"Ballade in @ Minor"
Florence McCann played the Rach-
maninof "Polichinelle" and the "B
Minor Rhapsodie" of Brahms. The
Beethoven Sonata Op. 49," first move
ment, was played by Ruth Hartzell
and Margery League did the Chopin
''Nocturne Op. 4S, No. l." and the
"Etude OPP. IS, No. H." Allan Spald-
ing did the Rachmaninof Prelude in
@ Minor" and the Arensky "Etude In
r Sharp Minor" Closing the program
was the rarely heard Africa Fantasy
by Saint-Saens, played by MIR. Ruck-
man and Elizabeth Thompson.

Part of this extensive research and
preparation Is due to the fact that
Hollywood producers always try to
have their films IS nearly perfect as
they can be, and some of 1t may be
traced to the financial statistics re-
Gently announced at Hollywood film
convention.
For every dollar, T. seems, that q
picture makes in the domestic market,
studio can figure on so cents when
the film is released in foreign coun-
try. If the picture deals with story
particularly interesting to a country,
the financial returns will be that much
better So you can understand that
picture dealing with the Crimean
War and clarifying an English heroine
will be worth plenty when released
throughout the British Empire.
Ard speaking Of Florence Nightin-
gale recalls the fact that this great
woman seemed destined to br por-
trayed on the screen this year Wasn't
it M-G-M that planned film called
The Brave Live o." telling the story
of the young woman who did such
wonderful work in the Crimeau War
and organized q nursing unit that
later became the Red CROSSE
Whether the picture ever got be-
yond the planning stage" don't
recall, but I do remember that Rosa
mund Pinchot was considered for the
part of Florence Nightingale.
The two most talked about new
leading men In Hollywood today are
Michael Bartlett and Henry Fonda.
The former, so far as preview audi

Moore's new picture completely, and
Fonda manages to get the raves in

HAS SPLENDID
FILM COMEDY
Mary BOland and Charles
RuggIes Star in Story
of Home Difficulties.

Hollywood's two most pleasant pur-
veyors of matrimonial affairs, Mary
Boland and Charles Ruggles, who
achieved some sort Of q high in their
particular brand of wit in "Ruggles Of
Red Gap" now come forth with some
more batty give-and-take in People
viii Talk" which opened yesterday
at the Metropolitan.
Though they perhaps do not attain
the same heights, the pair keeps up a
high enough comedy standard all the
way through the present vehicle that
it turns out to be totally happy piece
of light Summer film fare. There's
not much point to the farcical tale,
but it skips along from difnculty to
difficulty and from laugh to laugh and
then suddenly it's over and you real
ize you've had a good time with no
effort at all.
1t is happy story which places no
strain upon the onlookers. Miss Bo-
land and Mr.. Ruggles at the outset
are the towns ideal married couple.
Their daughter leaves her husband
because he has danced not wisely, but
too frequently, with a possible third
corner Of a triangle on his first we'd
ding anniversary. Mama Boland then
has one of her own individual bright
ideas.
She and hubby will feign q fight to
make daughter and son-in-law see the
light of day, which would be all right
but for the fact that Mama discovers
she can't take some of Papa Ruggles'
contribution to the sham battle. Then
Papa gets mixed up-innocently, but
ne could never prove it-with the same
lassie who caused the original trouble,
and things take q decided turn to-
ward lunacy.
Especially recommended are any
scenes wherein Miss Boland Is hav-
ing q disastrous idea; the laughably
pathetic interlude when she leaves
her husband alone and sleeps in the
guest room; Mr.. Ruggles' getting
caught In the cloak room with the
''other woman: Mr.. Ruggles almost
knocking himself out in a battle with
non-existent thugs to prove to his
wife he loves her, and crazy bur-
lesque Of a wrestling match. In
fact, Miss Boland and Mr.. Ruggles
can be recommended at almost any
point in their appearances.
Able support is given by Leila
Hyams, by Dean Jaeger, who in the
past has been exiled to playing oppo-
site girls Paramount was screen test

JUSTICE MEN BACK
FOR ANOTHER WEEK
GPublic Hero No. /" in Return
Downtown Engagement at
the Columbia.


Metro Goldwyn- Mayors climax to
the current trilogy of G-men films
has earned a return week here at
Loew's Columbia, where the liveliest
of the tommy-gun tales for tiny tots
reopened yesterday under the name
of Public Hero No. l." Partially
derived from recognizable newspaper
accounts of the recent antics among
the Nations bad boys, this brisk
melodrama, nevertheless, boasts one
of the most ingenious plots in the
entire gangster series, including those
documents recorded before justice
agents supplanted the beer barons
in all hero roles.
The San Quentin riots, wherein
some meanies pulled a whole pardon
board away from luncheon porridge
and used the members as hostages,
is lifted neatly from news type and
transplanted excitingly into celluloid.
The story's biggest and best murder
is brighter rendition of the Dillinger
swan song, and there is a furious
lead-slinging episode at road house.
These substantial thrills notwith-
standing, the most effective moments
in the film are the original contri-
buttons of a script writer's brain.
They consist of some novel twists so
valuable in the element of surprise
that we hesitate to discuss the matter
further for fear Of spelling your fun.
Lionel Barrymore, apparently re-
lieved not to be burdened with the
dignities of great characterizations,
simply romps through the role of q
drunken doctor who has fallen on
evil days and worse patients, joining
Miss Jean Arthur in interjecting a
bright episode here and there along
the grim procession of events. Chester
Morris and Joseph Calleia take care
of most Of the big blasting stuff,
while Paul Kelly, Lewis Stone and
Sam Baker toss in expert bits.
The Columbia program also features
short subjects and a comedy.
