The virtuoso nineteenth century
composers had little to offer two

are some isolated examples, how

later scored for orchestration.
Composers Are Stimulated
The reviving popularity of two
piano playing in recent years has
stimulated composers to new activ-
ity. Roger and Saint-Saens were
among the first moderns to cult
vate this form of music, and their
works frequently are played by the
Robertson duo.
Other composers on their list in
clude Busoni, Rachmaninoff, Aren-
sky, Gliere, Palmgren, Flore t
Schmitt, and many others.
Miss Bartlett and Mr.. Robertson
not only have cultivated existing
literature, but have inspired addi-
lions to it, Arnold Bax has written
a sonata for them; Arthur Bliss,

by the Indiana for the last part of

and Miss Dietrich together for the
first time since Morocco" 1t was
directed by Frank Borzage. who pro-
iuced such hits as Seventh Heaven"
Farewell to Arms" and "Flirta-
ton Walk"
Many have blamed the decreasing
popularity of Miss Dietrich in her
last few pictures to the fact that
Josef Won Sternberg, Miss Dietrich s
former director, relegated her film
stories so much into the background
that the star seemed to be appear
ing in a series of artistic camera
studies. This may be accounted
fer by the fact that Mr.. Won Stern
berg essentially is a cameraman.

Fairbanks
Memory for
Names Poor
Doug Has Nice Chat With
Butler He Fired Two
Years Ago.
BY PAUL HARRISON

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. (NEA)-
Douglas Fairbanks has VIGOROUSLY
short memory for names and faces.
This embarrasses him, and keeps
him in constant fear of offending
people whom he ought to remember.
Most amiable of celebrities under
any circumstances he's a setup for
the approaches of mooching strang-
ers, because he's never quite sure
whether they're autograph hunters,
performers or maybe writer's. He
plays safe in acknowledging intro
auctions by saying, "Sure-hello-
nice to see you again."
And who Was That?
Afoot on the lot one afternoon,
Mr.. Fairbanks met a man who
looked disturbingly familiar. The
fellow spoke, too, and they shook
hands and chatted of this and that.
Mr.. Fairbanks showed him around
the studio bit and spoke of his
own plans, all the time puzzling
about the fellows identity.
Finally they parted, back at Fair
banks Offices, and the actor-pro-
Queer turned to his business mana
ger.
Who the dickens was that?" he
asked. Nice enough chap, but 1
can't place him."
That" said the manager sadly.
happens to be butler that you
fired two years ago."
A couple newly come to the colony
tossed a party on the grand scale
the other night. Tossed it without
knowing very many people to invite,
but that didn't keep the socially
ambitious wife from trying.
She wrote note to Dear Dor
othy Dorothy Parker,
whom she never had met-and said
she did hope Dorothy would attend
and bring dear Alan Campbell with
her.
Right away the would-be hostess
got a reply, couched in the same
chummy informally. 1t said: Dear
Old Aggie and Joe: Sorry, kids, but
we can't make IDIOT and AL"

Organ Recital
P|eases Critic
Two Students Give Concert
at Friedens Church.

In the contemplation of mature
accomplishments that form the
basis of our musical season, it is
interesting to turn aside to observe
the work of advanced and sincere
students of the various branches of
the art. In the recital of Miss
Helen Pleasance and Robert Smith
at Friedens Evangelical Church last
night, a presentation of the Indiana
chapter of the American Guild of
OrganlStS, We were given this op-
portunity, as we'll as a chance 10
hear a rather neglected concert in
Strument.
Miss PleaSance, an Indianapolis
girl and a student of Cheston l..
Heath, was heard in a group which
opened with the toccata, adagio
and fugue of Bach, and to which
she brought clear, fluent and
brilliant Interpretation. Following
compositions by Bonnet and Percy
Fletcher, she closed her portion of
the program with the familiar toe
cata from the Fifth Symphony" of
Widor.
The player has a great store of
dexterity at her command which
her selections exhibited to good ad
vantage. In the final number
however, the dexterity seemed to
gain the upper hand, and clarity
was sacrificed to a speed which
was, if inordinate, at least pro-
digious.
Smith Presents Franck's Work
Mr.. Smiths part of the eve
ning's music was devoted to the
Grand Piece Symphonique" OF
Cesar Franck 1t is one of the
landmarks of organ literature, de-
serving of more frequent perform
ance which, perhaps, its difficulties
preclude. This is the work of the
Franck of the ID Minor Symphony
OR, more truly, the symphony is
the Growing creation of Franck, the
organist. Though. one master stroke
of musical craftsmanship succeeds
another in an amazing display OF
skill, the abiding impression is of a
great expression of a devoutly ar
tistic nature.
AS interpreter, Mr. Smith. an in
structor at De Paw University and
a pupil of Van Denman Thompson
failed in many places to realize all
of the music's possibilities. He was
hampered at times by failure of
memory, though the complexity and
technical requirement. of the score
might well try more experienced
performer dispensing with the
printed page.
There were effective registrations
and stirring climaxes from time to
time, but, though Mr.. Smith is a
capable player, the composition
seems bit beyond his ken at pres
ent.
Choir and Quartet Assist
Not the least enjoyable moments
of the concert were furnished by
the Friedens Evangelical Choir and
Girls Quartet, which assisted. Sing
ing without director, the choir of
young singers displayed excellent
precision, spirit and tonal blend
ing.
The quartet, composed of The
Misses Helen and Mabelle Holm
and Elfrieda and Alberta Niemeyer
gave a sensitive and musicianly per-
Torrance OF Tschaikowsky's Leg

Labor Commissioner
Urges 3O-HOur Week

Richmond, Va. (ILNS)-J ohm Hop
kins Hall, Jr., Virginia state commits
sioner of labor, expressed the opinion
in recent statement that national
30-hour work week in industry would
solve the problem of unemployment.
Commissioner Hall said that a
large number of Virginia factories
are now operating with a 30-hour
week, and that this accounts for a
good employment record in the state.
with a reduction of the number
of hours each person has to work,
and with an increased output, the
unemployment problem gradually will
be eliminated" he said. "Such con-
ditions will give more time for educa-
tion, cultural activities and recreation
among the laboring classes"

FEDERAL COURT
UphOlds Ohio Minimum Pay
Law

Columbus, Ohio (ILNS)-A three
judge federal court sitting here has
upheld the Ohio minimum wage law,
in spite of the fact that it is almost
identical with the New York law,
which was held Unconstitutional by
the United States supreme court. The
decision of the three judge court was
unanimous.
The case will be appealed to Wash
ington at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
In supporting the Ohio law, the
court held that it was distinguish
able" from the New York law. The
answer to this in legal circles here is
that it is also possible to distinguish
between tweedle dee and tweedle dunn;
and the feeling is strong that the
three judges, bound by their views of
the constitution to uphold the law
put in this distinction to give the
supreme court way out.
One interesting feature of the case
is the large part played in it by wom-

to believe that this is or ought to be
a criminal offense, and that no such
advertisement should be allowed to go
through the mails.
The Pecora investigation showed the
prevalence and rascality of tax dodg-
ing in high financial places. Charles
Mitchell, Of the National City Bank,
who had been collecting bonuses of
more than a million year for three
years, sold securities at depressed
price to a member of his family, with
out a dollar being paid on them, and
thus established a loss which wiped
out his liability to income tax. Otto
Kahn played the same trick by sell
ing" securities to his daughter, who
.never knew she had them, and tax
ing them back two months later, still
without her knowledge.
Albert Wiggin had six personal cor
porations which he admitted were Gre
ated to help him dodge taxes; and the
House Of Morgan paid not cent of
income tax for two years.

HISTORIC CRIME REPEATS
ITSELF

After Napoleon had been safely
lodged in St. Helena, the ear of Rus
sia, the king of Prussia and the EN-
peror of Austria all unmitigated and
wholly unenlightened despots formed
what they called the Holy Alliance, !"
in which each tyrant pomised to help
either Of the other tyrants who was
troubled by that wicked and abomina-
bic thing known as republicanism.
Students Of that period agreed that
the Holy Alliance" was the most
vicious and reactionary organization
that Europe had known since the
passing Of the inquisition
The pact between Nazi Germany
and Japan IS another Holy Alliance 4
Nominally directed against commu-
nism, it is really a league to stamp
out liberty at home and overthrow
it abroad as the Nazis are already
helping to do in Spain
Historic crimes repeat themselves
IA motives, pretences and in out
comes. Where is the first Holy Al
ances now?
