The chorus was fortunate in the
presence of Jacob A. Evanson.
associate dean of Cleveland's West
ern Reserve University. as con-
ductor. Considering the short time
allotted the singers for the pro-
grams preparation. and the fact
that Mr.. Evanson had only two
short rehearSals with the group, the
performance was a credit to the
conductor, the local choir directors
and the singers themselves.
Impressive dignity and music of
the highest standard distinguished
the concert. The selections likewise
were of historical interest. since
they included a cantata, The Boy
Jesus in the Temple" by Bach's
great predecessor, Heinrich Schuetz
1585-1672), father of German opera,
if not of German music; Thou
Knowest, Lord, the Secrets of Our
Hearts" by the seventeenth century
master, Henry Purcell; Bach's
"Sleepers Wake" and an "Elegy" ~
Beethoven, dating from the closing
years of the composers life, and in
frequently performed.
Evanson Capable Director
The other numbers were Brahms
20 Heart Subdued With Grieving,"
the "Cherubim Song" by Bortny-
ansky; Handels Music Spread Thy
Voice Around; zingarelli's Go Not
Far From Me, o God" and We'll
come by Christensen. The last
two were particularly well done.
Mr.. Evanson showed himself a ca
pable and sensitive musician, as well
as skilled director, achieving adj
mirable results with an economy of
motion and great plasticty of phras-
ing.
Solo parts were done excellently
by Mrs. Ruth Sterling Devin, So

tralto, and Virgil Phemister. bass.

Double Feature
Survey Outlined
Film Firms Seek to Learn
Reaction of Public.

Times Special
HOLLYWOOD, May 13.-An in
telligent answer to the question of
how the motion picture public likes
two film features on one program
is to be sought by a major motion
picture production company.
Studio officials declare that the
survey is to be made only to de-
termine the public reaction, not to
approve or disapprove.
Polls are to be taken of repre-
sentative high school and college
publications and motion picture
editors of more than 1000 news
papers are to be asked to report
readers attitudes.
From the poll, the motion picture
industry hopes to learn the answer
to a technical problem peculiar to
production. The problem has arisen
since pictures of more than the
average length of time, such as "A
Midsummer Nights Dream" AN
thony Adverse" Green Pastures"
and THE Charge of the Light
Brigade" have become popular.
The results are to be made public

Federal Players to Present
TWo-Week Runs.

Few American plays of the last
decade have had more substantial
success than 1.-THE Trial of Mary
Dugan," Bayard Veillers' melodrama
which opens two-weeks' engage
ment at Keith's Monday as pres
entation of the Federal Players.
While the play was rounding OUT
q solid year on Broadway, its foreign
rights were being sought by pro-
oucers in virtually every theater-
loving country. Eventually it played
simultaneously in New York, Lon
don, Berlin, Paris, Vienna. Rome.
Melbourne and other capitals.
THE Trial of Mary Dugan" is
unique in that the curtain is not
raised or lowered during the entire
action. The scene is a New York
court room. The play literally is the
trial of Mary Dugan, former Pol
lies" beauty, on a charge of murder.
Shows to Run Two Weeks
Beginning with next weeks pro-
duction, all future Federal Players
presentations are to have a two
weeks run" according to DR.. Lee
R. Norvelle, state director of the
Federal Theater Project.
The plan is adopted to remove the
limitations on the number of thea
ter-goers who may see each bill, TO
assure more finished performance
by increasing the rehearsal time for
new shows, and to afford stage me-
chanics and scenic artists more time
for building, painting and perfectine
the settings.
The Federal company has played
to more than $4,000 people in the
first IL weeks of its season, and has
presented three bills-"The Barker. ="
DO Unto Others" and Behold This
Dreamer"-for two-week engage
ments
No previous dramatic stock COM
pany in Indianapolis has attained
the present company's attendance
record. This is taken as an indica-
ton of reviving interest in the legiti-
mate stage by Dr. Norvelle and his
associates. Stimulation of interest.
DR.. Norvelle states, is one of the OBJ
jectives of the Federal Theater
Project.
