Miss SchOOp

Comic Ballet
Company to Present
Program on Sunday
at the National.

TRUDI SCHOOP, young Swiss actor
and dancer, brings her company
of % In a program of comic ballets
to the National Theater next Sunday.
beginning at $50 pm. This will be
the debut and also the only appear
ance of this group locally, where they
are appearing under the manage
ment of w. A. Aloaugh. The COM
pany landed in New York Christmas
week and opened a season of 13 per-
formances there Friday, December 81.
Miss Schoop is young woman
still in her 2os and is of aristocratic
family. She first thought to follow
in the steps of the great Sara Bern
hardt and make acting her profess
sion. She studied the technique of
the stage, but felt an unfulf1lled de-
sire for dancing also. She studied
the ballet but felt the lack o. inner
inspiration for coordination with set
ballet steps. She then tried different
forms of "esthetic" dancing, and still
sought the perfect medium for her
own expression.
In her musical family, with a
brother, Paul Schoop, who composed
fascinating music. and two talented
sisters, she sought aid After her
father had hired a hall for her to
give an experimental program in
Zurich, she worked for some time by
herself and developed single acting
dance, supposed to interpret the re-
action Of a tree to bad storm.
She invited her entire family to
witness her performance and began
seriously enough. Soon the entire
troupe of Schoop was rolling Shrek
ingly in their chairs. Thus it was
that Trudi Schoop discovered that
she was really a comedienne. Then
1t was she set out to work out comic
scripts and dances, and gathered a
company about her that had both
the necessary command of physical
coordination for the dancing part of
the ballet work and also the gift of
acting with emphasis on comedy.
All Europe has acclaimed the comic
ballets that Miss Schoop developed.
Especially have the two to be given
here next week been well received
One is called Want Ads" and is a
satire on people and situations con-
nected with this advertising medium
The other is the story of "Fridolin, u
a young, unsophisticated lad and his
adventures in the world.
Reservations for the single Wash
mgton performance of Miss Schoop-
who has been dubbed by critics abroad
as THE Charlie Chaplin of the
Dance"-and her comic ballet COM
pany can be made at the box Office,

In the finale. the Magic Fire Music"
Wagner has painted another tone
picture OF realism which, until then,
no other composer had achieved.
Brunnhilde, who had defended
Siegmund on his flight, had been
condemned to sleep on a rock, sur

young hero shall nberate her. In the
music, Wotan commands Loge, the
Fire God, to surround the rock with
flames. Loge obeys We literally hear
/ the cracking of the flames, we see
the sparks, the conflagration-the
very essence of the fire itself-seems
to rise out of the musical sounds, and
it all ends in a glorious and super
human apotheoSiS.

lions nave arisen from time TO time, =
with some objective of this character
in view, but have fallen by the way
side for various reasons. The Friday
Morning Music Club has not only
survived the changes which might
have caused it also to disband. but
has grown in strength and influence
until today it represents the very
nucleus of the musical life Of the city.
Nor have the members of the club
been selflshly concentrated on their
own advancement. Whenever any
worthy proposition came forward by
which the musical understanding of
the city could be stimulated, the club
as whole was ready with its support
and many are the undertakings that
were able to organize through the
help of this sincere group of musi-
clans. The activities of the club have
included the sustaining of interest
in every branch of musical endeavor
as we'll as the encouraging of indi-
viduals whose talents we're noteworthy
enough to receive wide recognition.
Whatever this city has accomplished
in musical growth during the last half
century is due in great part to the
energy, resourcefulnesS and sincerity
of this group of women, who hold
high the standard of great music
against all incursions.
THE women's music clubs of the
country have been puissant fac
tors in directing and awakening in
terest in music of the kind that will
eventually rank this country with
European nations in the trueness of
musical appreciation. Not only do
they draw membership from musi-
clans whose education is we'll ground
ed, but their influence reaches into
the homes of the land more potently
than any other organization. The
love for music which might have died
out when other interest became para
mount is revived and developed in
these musicians, to be passed on to
the next generation.
The Friday Morning Music Club
was founded in october, 1886, when
three friends, Madeleine Beckwith,
Frederick Rodgers and Mrs John D.
Patten decided to establish an in
formal club for the study of music.
There was no special plan of organi-
cation, but the name of Friday Morn
ing Music Club was adopted at the
first meeting, which took place, as it
has ever since, on Friday at IL o'clock.
1t was decided to limit the member
ship to Is. since the homes of the
members where the meetings were
held could not accommodate more.
The, music of Beethoven, Mozart,
Mendelssohn, Schubert. Schumann
ard Chopin formed the programs
Evening star., 1936-01-05

given at these informal meetings by
the very fine musicians who had found
it of value to join club interested
in acquiring a greater knowledge OF
these masters.
IRON 1890 to 1900 the club spe-
cialized in Study and research
instituted by several outstanding mu-
sicians who had come prominently to
the fore in the cubs activities. The
first minutes of the meetings date
from 1891, when several additional
Offices we're created.
The policy of meeting at the homes
of the members continued for three
years. during which time each men,
ber was required to. take part in the
programs cat least once in two weeks.
A half hour of study. consisting of
readings from musical periodicals or
books or essays of interest, preceded
each program.
During the first year the music Of
the last SO years in various European
Wdo A4oNlAooCo oAa AVG
mornings were devoted to the study
OF the Boston Symphony Orchestra
programs in the second year and the
dance, folk song, sonata, concerto,
oratorio and opera were analyzed in
the third year.
Thus. in the early days of the club
the objective took form. to be con-
tinued through the vicissitudeS of war
days without interruption and through
the changes which increased member
ship created. A long list of guest
artists and prominent lecturers took
part in the programs. which for the
last seven years have been held in
Barker Hall. The club has been a
constant supporter of the National
Symphony Orchestra, finally guaran-
teeing $4,000 toward its sustaining
fund. The present president, Mrs.
Eugene ByrneS, has held this Office
uninterruptedly since 1919, while
other officers such as Lucy Bricken-
stein, Florence Howard, Katherine
Riggs and Miriam Hilton lave served
nearly as long in their respective de-
partments.
The Friday Morning Music Club
has stood for half century of con-
tlnuous endeavor to have music a
prominent adjunct of the community
life, and only the best music is toler-
ated. Its members. many of them
professionals, are nevertheless earnest
students at all times, and the pro-
grams in which they take part are
arranged with this end in view. In
wishing the club many more years
Of constructive work and of helpful
influence, is joined the sincere appre-
citation Of its place in the music circles
of the city.

New Deal in Talk.

IWeS SpEcfnt
TERRE HAUTE, April 15.-Vigo
County's Republican campaign
opened today in earnest as voters
and G. o. P. gubernatorial candi-
dates discussed the possibility of
Everett Sanders, former chairman
of the Republican National Com
mittee, becoming one of the dark
horses in the race for the highest
state office.
Mr.. Sanders, in an address here
last night before the Hamilton Club,
attacked the national Admi1istra-
tion'S failure to balance the budget,
the "boondoggling" of Roosevelt
bureaus, and the Democratic Pa.rty's
broken promise in not keeping
platform pledges"
Summing up the New Deal ad-
ministration Mr.. Sanders said
Our taxes have greatly increased,
Unemployment in industry is as
great as ever. Cost of living is
higher. Sterilization of our cur
rency is lacking. The credit struc-
ture of our government is imperiled.
Federal bureaucracy is entrenched.
Industry is stif1ed. Our liberties
are threatened. Recovery has been
retarded.
THE people should call in a new
administration imbued with the
true spirit of sound policies of rep
resentative government. The build
ers of such an administration will
tear down insecure walls, remove
debris and build with good materi-
ais. with skilled workmen, until the
structure of government is restored"
