began and ended with toccata-
the first by Schumann, the second
by Ravel-and which provided am

his day and his program with the
Schumann "Toccata," but Mr.. Cra-

than the familiar war-horse we
often have heard, it sang forth

She reveals that Trent had not in
tended to work late on the night of
the crime, but had stayed down

L Killed Whitaker
An elevator boy points out Con-
stance (Frances Sage, Trent's
daughter, as the girl he took up to
the office on the night of the muir

Trent had left the office.
Connie confesses that she secretly
had been in love with Whitaker,
that they had intended to elope the
night ne was killed. This throws all
the suspicion on Trent. when Paula
jumps to her feet and shouts:
II killed Stanley Whitaker
That's the end of Paula's suffering.
Trent takes her to the judges
proposes to her. One
never knows whether she went "up
the river" for the crime.
Miss Harding is convincing as the
secretary who Is caught
in the meshes of circumstance, does
what she thinks best for all. Mr..
Abel, Mr.. Olsen, and Miss Sage do
the best they can with the parts.
Most of the comedy is supplied by
a very able youngster, William
Benedict, as the office boy who
wants to be a crooner.
We wish Miss Harding could be
4 nice, normal heroine just once.

IN the audience.
There are a couple of strange
murders, and Jimmy and Helen
rack down the criminals. AS usual,
he criminal tells everything at the
end just when he has Helen cor
nered and is about to kill her.
Nothing much novel about this
except the way in which the folks
are put to death. Miss Broderick
deserves a better role. Her lines are
so drab that even she can't get
much out of them.

was the Chinese March of Stra-

transcription by Szanto. It's fend-
ish difficulties were encompassed by
Mr.. Cramer in a tour de force of
vKtuoSo pianism.
"The Birds of Sorrow" and the
"Toccatta' of Ravel concluded the
programmed numbers. Coming on
the heels of Chavez and Stravin-
sky, Ravel's music put one in mind
of the facetious remark of a few
years back about the good old
TUNES of Strauss and Debussy"
Ravel's modernisms already have a
tuneful sound in our adaptable
ears, and no doubt that the Chavez
"Sonatina' awaits like fate.
Among his contemporaries of the
last group, Mr.. Cramer was equally
at home. No matter from what
age a composer speaks, he seems to
find sympathetic collaboration in
yesterdays artist. A sensitive and
intelligent musician as we'll as a
brilliant, authoritative pianist, b.

1t all started last New Years eve
when Bella and Samuel Spewack's
Hollywood farce, Boy Meets Girl,
had its premiere at the Cort Thea
ter in New York. Mr.. and Mrs.
Spewack had commended, privately
and publicly, that any success story,
either on the screen or on the stage,
is based on the single plot-boy
meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets
girl.
Almost overnight, the phrase was
picked up, by carnival hat manu-
facturers, beauty parlors and other
mercantile enterprises. Not since
George M. Cohan's Whats all the
shootin' about?" as used in The
Tavern" IS years ago, has a title so
quickly swept the country.
Waitress Wins Lords Son
The play deals with two eccentric
scenarists. who demonstrate that
the boy and girl theory always works
out in the. construction of a salts

works in real life. In a wild frenzy
of gossip and romance, waitress
wins the son of British Lord in the
play.
The Chicago road company is to
present the play here, Mr.. Burke
said. Joyce Airing and James Mac
Coll played the leading roles in the
New York company. Both were
beginners and got their first big
chance in this comedy.
