JAG Broderick is directing the
dancing numbers and Louise spell
man Sparks is aiding in the musical
direction. The production is one Of
the most lavish Mr.. Burleigh has
attempted, and the Civic stage liter
ally IS jammed every night with
props, sets, costumes and singing,
dancing, jabbering performers re-
hearsing their parts in the show.
So anxious was Mr.. Burleigh to
produce a musical this year which
would be as good or better than
last years Meet My Sister" that
he cajoled his former Dartmouth
classmate, Mr.. Gaynor, into helping
him build the local revue.
Mr.. Gaynor Gets Surprise
Mr.. Gaynor, busy in New York
writing music for various Broadway
celebrities, finally gave in and came
to Indianapolis, quite honestly ex-
pecting, he said, to have to work
with a bunch of "amateurish, stage
struck kids"
st was astounded,' he told us re-
Gently, ito find that the folks in
Freds cast are unusually talented
and have mania for working hard
and long"
The Broadway tradition of pro-
miscous title-changing has been OBJ
served in the production of the
Civics show-mainly because of Mr.
Gaynor.
When the young man from Man
haitian arrived on the local scene
he found that Mr.. Burleigh had
settled on the show title, Times Is
Diffrent," and that some progress
had been made under that name
Not because Mr.. Gaynor, who is
curly headed, bright-eyed and looks
nothing like composer, was con-
trary, but because he had written
an opening number for the show
entitled Thirteen In A Bed" he
thought the show should go by that
name. Mr. Gaynor being the guest
of honor, Mr.. Burleigh relented and
let the title be changed.
Revue Gets Third Title
The Broadway tradition, however
would not be denied. For in Sc
crecy, Mr.. Gaynor was toying with
another tune, Hold Your Hat,
which he hoped he could finish be-
fore the show opened.
One Saturday night after re-
hearsal Mr.. Gaynor announced his
new idea and tapped out a phrase
for members of the cast. AS no one
screamed in disdain the composer
finished the piece. The cast became
enthusiastic.
But cautious Mr.. Burleigh want
ed to see the music and lyrics on
paper. In flash of faxed tempera-
ment Mr.. Gaynor withdrew to his
apartment to show the director eX-
actly what he meant. For two days
nobdy heard from the closeted COM
poser. Then suddenly one night he
appeared with the completed song.
And even the ever-careful Mr.. Bur-
leigh agreed that his show should
be called Hold Your Hats" So
unless Mr.. Gaynor thinks up an
other hit song before Washington
birthday, the title is to remain as
announced.
While at Dartmouth, Mr. Gay
nor wrote the music for the 1928
school show, Green Peach" in
which Mr.. Burleigh played role.

"Of course, the orchestra some
day will need a permanent endow-

sit back and enjoy the music with
out realizing that such an organi-
cation can not run itself. . How
ever, in Cincinnati, when the word

Cities Have Symphonies
We asked DR.. Bakaleinikoff if
European cities the size of Indian
apolis have symphony orchestras.
Indeed yes. and good ones, too,
he replied, his black eyes sparkling
with enthusiasm.
In my country city of this size
would have an eight-month season
of opera every night, both legitii-
mate theater and musical comedy
every night, and orchestra concerts
once a week. You see, music to them
is a necessity instead of an enter
tainment."
He spoke of CincinnatiS initial
season of opera, sponsored and pre-
sented by the Symphony Orchestra,
In America, opera is still nov
city. To the people, it must be a
spectacle, although Europeans can
be satisfied with simpler presenta-
tions. SO when big orchestras like
the Cincinnati and Cleveland and
Philadelphia produce it on a big
scale, it attracts attention.
THE three operas presented in
Cincinnati so far this year not only
have been satisfyingly done, but act
ually have made money for the
management"
Tuning Is Completed
Meanwhile, tuning had been COM
pleted, and the players sat waiting,
or softly played over difficult
phrases. DR.. Bakaleinikoff raped
for attention and raised his baton
for the opening bar of Borodin's
overture to Prince Igor" music OF
tsarist Russia in which the conduc-
tor was born and reared. AS a child
he studied violin at the Imperial
Conservatory in his native Moscow
under Grimalgi, and received in
struction in composition from Sergei
Taneieff. teacher of many famous
contemporary Russian composer.
His career as performer, conductor
and composer has been brilliant
one. His first important position
was as a member of the string
quartet of the Grand Duke OF
Meckienburg- Strelitz, with whom he
remained for 10 years. He has held
professorships in the st. Petersburg
Conservatory, the Imperial Con-
servatory of Petrograd and the
=. Moscow Conservatory. Before coming
TO Cincinnati in 1926 as solo violist
and assistant conductor, he had
served as conductor OF the Theater
of Musical Drama in Petrograd, the
Symphony Orchestra and Opera in
the same city, and the Moscow Art
Theater.
AT present he is associate con-
ductor of the Cincinnati Symphony
Orchestra and conductor of the
Louisville Civic Symphony Society

Eye-Nachronism

Walter Wanger, usually a lit
tie saner than the average run
of Hollywood producers, should
have a hard time explaining
this one:
He has cast Joan Bennett in
the title role of big Brown
Eyes" and it just happens that
she has deep blue eyes. And
near-sighted at that.

companies have been generous in their

companies have been generous In their
attitude during the depression.
For the industry as q whole the
average wage paid the men in the
mills Is 66.2 cents an hour. The
lowest wage paid hereabouts is A
to IS cents in the smaller plants
and 48 cents in the Carnegie Illinois
Omitted States SteeD and Jones &
Laughlin independently plants. That
means that the men can earn so
per cent more for an eight-hour day
now than they earned in 1919 In a
12-hour day. Wages then were down
around 80 cents an hour-in some
cases lower.
Meanwhile the drive toward indus
trial unionism under the Lewis plan
goes steadily on, with l79 paid or
ganizers in the f1eld-they are Muir
rays figures-3.800 volunteers moving
through the steel plants Of this and
other districts, from the Delaware
River to the Great Lakes and south
to Birmingham, whispering in the
ears of the workers:

or say they don't, clearly hoping for
the most part that the issue can be
resolved in favor of unionization with
out loss of work.
And that, apparently, is the Lewis
purpose-to get the men into the
Amalgamated and then, under the
Wagner labor relations act. force the
companies to recognize and deal COL
lectively with the Amalgamated as
the union of their choice"
Propaganda Claims Everything.
AS the first phase of the organiza-
ton drive, the c. I. o. put on a propa-
ganda campaign in which it has
claimed everything. 1t says, for ex-
ample, that practically all the foreign
language organizations have indorsed
the union movement The leading
spokesmen for these groups tell me
that this is not only not true, but that,
in the IS or more Slavic newspapers
and magazines published in Pittsburgh
and vicinity. little space is being given
to the union drive, and none Of them
seems to regard it as of first impor-
tance.
AS the second phase Of the drive, a
move is impending-dependent in
some degree perhaps on the develop
ment of the contest between Lewis
and President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor over the
direction to be taken-to organize
chapters of the Amalgamated Associa-
ton of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers
in each plant.
When you ask about the third phase
what comes neXt?-You get the an
swer from Phil Murray, who, next to
Lewis, is regarded generally as the
| ablest among the c. l. o. leaders.
Murray says, We'll cross that bridge
when We come to it."
Obviously, what the Lewis group
wants first is abolition of the company
union or so-called employees represen-
tation plan, and recognition of the
Amalgamated as the workers bargain
ing agent.
c. /. o. Got Results.
Murray and his aides insist there
isn't really any company union, and
inquiry among the men in the mills
confirms his statement that, while the
steel companies do give the workers
an opportunity to elect their own bar

agement, they do not give the men an
opportunity to hold mass meetings or
to meet in large numbers to discuss
their wages, working conditions and
relations with the company.
But the men themselves say that
the concessions they get by this meth
cd are of relatively minor character.
1t doesn't bring them substantial adj
vances in pay, 1t doesn't shorten their
hours and it didn't get them vacations,
with pay, until the c. I. o. came into
the field and began to talk industrial
unionism under the Lewis leadership.
Now-within the last few weeks-the
men in the mills have been given va
cations, with pay, for the first time
in the history of the steel industry, q
concession has been made in over
time pay, end there Is talk of a 10 per
cent increase in wages all along the
line.
"A smart novel" company critics
concede. 1T will make Lewis job

At the moment there is no official
confirmation of the report that wages
are to go up. But the steel towns
seem to think it reliable. And steel
executives, who put 1t out, appear to
be paving the way for an Official an

Wage Average High.
Lewis drive is complicated, too, by
the fact that the average of steel
wages at present is above that of
other basic industries, that the men
are working regularly and that the
workers in many cases own steel

find the situation much more salts
