Illustrated
Talk Given
Yesterday
DR.. Fellowes of Wind
sor Castle, England,
Spoke at Library.

DR.. Edmund H. Fellowes Of Windsor
Castle. England, gave an instructive
as well as entertaining lecture yester-
day afternoon in the auditorium of
the Library of Congress. The talk
was arranged under the provisions
'of the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge
Foundation and is one Of the few
remaining lectures which DR.. Fellowes
will give in this country. He illus
trated his remarks with records made
by the choir of st. Georges Chapel
at Westminster, and one made by
the English Singers. who so delighted
audiences in this same auditorium a
few years ago.
DR.. Fellowes' subject was Tudor
Church Music" and he began by
giving brief sketch of the century
which has become known as the days
Of Tudor in England, including the
reign Of Queen Elizabeth. He divided
Tudor church music into two classes,
that for the Latin rite and that
for the rite Of the church Of the
crown, and stressed the difficulties
which composers Of the early days
of the Church of England had in
writing music for the new rite which
demanded words that could be
understood by the congregation. He
compared this situation, which gave
no precedent upon which to pattern
the music, to the situation in which
composers of Continental Europe
found themselves when Pope Plus of
long ago forbad the use of secular
tunes in the music for the mass.
The music for the canticles as it
was originally written left much to
the imagination of the singer, Just
as the operas of old left the horid
passages and cadenzas to be supplied
by the singer. Thus the singers
Of a later day, not understanding
the composers intent, made church
music less interesting. After the ex-
amples of canticles DR.. Fellowes spoke
Of the development of the anthem
and gave. several examples of this
form sung by the choir at st. Georges
Chapel. He spoke Of the purpose of
the composers that anthems should
be sung a capella, and when sung
without accompaniment were all the
more effective.
Just before the close of his talk
he displayed wide, though shallow
and not very thick book, bound in
leather, which, he said. contained the
tenor parts Of several anthems. The
book is well over 800 years old and
contains the tenor parts of anthems,
written by different composers. There
Is no way of telling how many
parts each anthem has unless the
books containing the other parts are
available. Thus the only way any
Of the music of that period has been
preserved was through untiring search
in old book stores and libraries.
Much of this research work has been
accomplished through DR.. Charles
Wood, professor of music at Cam
bridge College, England.
The audience. much too small for
so interesting talk, was enthusiastic
at the close Of the lecture and re-
called DR.. Fellowes Q number Of
times. It was unfortunate that the
lecture was set at the hour for
services in many Of the churches,
which made 1t impossible for organ
lists and choir masters to attend.

ANOTHER WEEK GIVEN
TO "PETRlFIED FOREST"
Has Distinction Of Improving
Good Play While Turning It
Into Cinema Story.
THE PETRIFIED FOREST will

THE PETRIFTED FOREST will
probably be noted in the cinema
history books as the only known film
ever to take good play and improve
1t during the process Of translation
into celluloid. Robert Sherwood 5
drama was good enough to play on
Broadway until Leslie Howard de-
cided he had spent too much Of his
valuable time on one vehicle, and as
a film 1t is good enough to enjoy a
second week On the main stem at the
Metropolitan Theater. Better than
that, If you ask us.
Another mark of distinction In this
Warner Bros. film is the dialogue, re-
tanned more or less intact from the
original. and therefore unusually full
some for flicker. Actually. the people
in "The Petrified Forest do very
little but sit around. talk and wait
to die, but they turn so many con-
versational and emotional somer-
saults that the screen seems to be
populated with tumbling act. This
effect is obtained by Archie Mayo's
shrewd use of the camera and the
ability of Mr.. Howard and Bette
Davis. the stars, to sustain the most
trifiing scenes at a high pitch.
The abilities of both headliners
granted. it Is nevertheless q new
conner named Humphrey Bogart who
puts real punch into the proceed
ings. When he is around everybody
else is more or less forgotten. He
even gives the astonishing impression
that he could loll languidly around a
room all afternoon and still leave his
audience feeling like the survivors of
fire, food and couple of major crises

Gattis was nothing short of superb
in his role as Peter Standish. He took
his audience on refreshing excursion
from his drawing room in Berkeley
Square back to the age of classicism,
where he astounded them with his
seemingly incredible ability to read
the future. He falls in love with
Helen, played with excellent poise by
Miss Haug, and brings the eternal
memory of her love on his return to
modern life
Richard Neustadt as Mr.. Thrastle
and Margaret Paine as Kate were
the other outstanding performers of
the evening.
The ingenious and effective stage
action is credited to Miss Sue M.
Gardner and the unusually good set
ting to Mrs. Page Kirk. Musical in
terludes by the orchestra, under Don
P. McAdoo, also proved entertaining.

Macs transformation from a gilded

not by any means terrific. How even
the boys and girls up at Nome could
have been wheedled into believing
that Mae was anything but Mae is
amazing. While the slow rotation of
the eyes, shoulder blades and hips no
longer exist. Mae Is definitely herself
and as she sings those ballads Of how
to become a good girl she somehow
hints that she doesn't believe any
such thing at all.
It is this double entente that has
caused certain patrons to worry. Per-
sonally, the only reason We minded
it was because Miss West wasn't as
funny ,as usual. And because the
story, somehow is never particularly
interesting.
This fact, and the fact that Mae
no longer walks like a walrus are the
chief items of disappointment in q
fllm that isn't half as wicked as It
is meant to be. We can't see how
anybody could get into a huff over
such pallid kidding as this.
