To say of duo-pianiStS that they
played as one person" is to employ
a well-worn description, yet it must
be said of Miss Bartlett and Mr..
Robertson. In matters of precision
of attack, graduations of tempo and
phrasing they were in complete &C
cord, and in the more cerebral and
emotional fields of musical concep-
ton and tone color there was almost
equal unity.
Each Is an accomplished pianist,
able to evoke scintillating or song
full music from the piano; each is
also a sincere artist who can catch
and project the mood of COM
position.
Opened With Bach Chorale
The program began with a COM
polling and spirited Bach chorale,
1T Is a True Saying" followed by
another chorale of contrasting
character, sheep May Safely
Craze" whose simple, beautiful
melody sang above whispering
accompaniment. Last in the Bach
group was the familiar Prelude from
the E Major Sonata for solo violin.
Effectively transcribed, it was played
stunningly and at top speed.
Schumann's Andante and Varia-
lions and two of the Brahms Hun
garian Dances, heard next, seemed
less congenial to the Robertsons'
musical propensities, though the
difficulties were mastered easily in
brilliant performance.
Bizet's "Jeux dEnfants," written
for two performers at one piano,
brought delighted "Ohs" and ABS"
from the audience between each of
the 10 short pieces in the suite, and
resounding applause at the con-
clusion. The composer, known to
most of us only as the man who
immortalized the gypsy cigarel
girl, Carmen. apparently created
these slight fancies with consider
able care. Akin in spirit to "Schu-
mann's Scenes from Childhood ~
they were treated with equal con-
sideration by the players. who
obviously shared their listeners en-
joyment of the music.
More Exploration Needed
AS we listened to this duet" we
wondered why some of our two
piano teams do not explore little
in the rich field of four-hand music
A program of, say, the little F Minor
Sonata of Johann Christian Bach
Mozart's G. Major Variations, the
Schubert F Minor Fantasia, the
above work of Bizet and Debussy'
Petite Suite" would be of distinc
worth as well as novel entertain
ment.

Joan May Make
Western Movie
Writers Work on Scenario
for Miss Crawford.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 10-(UP)
Joan Crawford is trembling on
the verge of committing a West
ern, and we'll she may. Take the
Joint word of Albert Hackett and
Frances Goodrich, ace film writing
team for it. Her fate is in their
hands.
The great minds of M-G-M de-
creed Joan should go West, young
gal. and handed story and title
to Producer Hunt Stromberg. The
story resembled "Barbary Coast"
too much to be disable, so Hackett
and Goodrich were given the title
and instructions to work their will
upon it. -
God knows what it's going to be
about" said Hackett. THE scene
has to be Colorado in the silver
days"
Two Collaborate
The two elaborated on farther
explanation.
Goodrich-Our title is "a Lady
Comes to Town" Isn't that some
thing?
Hackett-But it isn't for Mae
West. We'd have to rewrite the
title for Mae.
Chorus-For Mae we'd have tc
call it "A Lady Goes TO Town!
Goodrich-We've got one swell
scene we can save from the original.
It's funeral
Hackett - Sure, Crawford and
some other people are burying a
guy. He's dead. The preacher is
saying funeral offices when all at
once everybody spots silver in the
grave.
Goodrich-Then everybody de-
serts the corpse and races to town
to stake a claim on the cemetery.
Isn't it great?
Wrote Other Hits
Hackett and Goodrich are among
Hollywood'S ace collaborators. They
wrote scenarios of THE Thin Man,
Rose Marie" "Ah Wilderness" and
Naughty Marietta,
Possibly this collaboration is I'M
usually effective because they are
married.
I'VE do 1t by fighting" explained
Goodrich.
Il write scene and she writes
the same scene" Hackett added.
Then we fight it out which is
the BEST" they chorused.
They began writing on Broadway
10 years ago, when both were actors,
CT was an actress" corrects
Goodrich, That was before they
were married.
Goodrich-Crawford should be a
knockout in this Western.
Hackett-Well, with our story +.
Goodrich-It's be terrific.
Hackett-Colossal.
Chorus-What dye 'spose it ought
to be about?
Having purchased the title THE
Music Goes Round and Around
for their completed picture, Rolling
Along" Columbia Immediately
changed it. The opera will be
known as Music Goes Round" with
Harry Richman, Rochelle Hudson
and the Onyx Boys.
The full title was too long for the
marques. 1t will be released as
soon as a part for the orchestra
can be wangled in.

collected county taxes for any year
since 1929. it was disclosed today by
DR.. F. w. Huddleson. county treasurer.
At the end of the fiscal accounting
period the delinquent list amounted to
17.3 per cent of the entire levy, the
treasurer stated. The original levy
amounted to s341,247.66, of which
S5S,93436 was uncollected as of June
80. 1886
Similar figures for the year 1929
show that the original levy that year
totalled s414.34470, of which only 7
per cent or s28,13l.58, remained un-
collected when the books were closed
June 80.
The treasurer explained that from
the exceptionally good year of 1929.
the percentage of uncollected taxes
mounted to the allItime high of 81
per cent in 1880. From that year on.
however, he stated, the percentage of
delinquency has declined gradually
to the present level.
To payment of the soldiers bonus
the treasurer attributed the good COL
lections at the end of the fiscal year.
Numerous persons have paid taxes
during the past weeks with bonus
money, and in cases have paid their
delinquencies for the last five years.
1t was also revealed that county ex-
penditures we're Sl42,48852 less in
1886 than in the previous year.
Total disbursements for last year
amounted to S404,26041, while for
1934-35 they were S546,74893.

previous years was in the aggregate
of s41,269.97, showing an increase
over the similar figure for the pre-
ceding year of s8,7S5 40. Such COL
lections for l934-35 were s32,484.57.
Clerks land redemptions during the
year were s13,76566, against sl3.-
503.86 the year before.
Probably the outstanding collec-
sion record of the year was the 99.2
per cent collection of the 1884 State
levy,
