powers of evil.
The story of Kind Lady" con-
Germs the charming Mary Herries,
whose sympathy and generosity i'm
pei her to befriend and open her
home to an impoverished young man
with a flair for art. His payment

Miss Hudson
a Hit
in New Film
Drops Her Fragile Manner
For Machire Cunning
Screen Role.

We have always thought Ro-
chelle Hudson sort of timid, fragile
heroine, afraid of mice, blood ana
such. But we were wrong. You
ought to see her with a machine
gun, shooting holes through Bruce
Cabot in "Show Them No Mercy"
at the Lyric this week.
This is film based on the kid
mapping racket. It's the type of pic
ture which will probably succeed the
westerns as the Saturday night melo-
dramas of the future. With a good
cast and good production these rat
ting yarns can be made to look good
to almost anybody.
Show Them No Mercy" starts out
with a bang, You don't slide along
through hallway or survey clouds
in the sky while the sound track
murmurs Tschaikowsky.
Action in Home
Show Them No Mercy" gets right
down to business with the first scene
showing the rich mans home where
all is confusion and grief because his
son has been kidnapped. A ransom
letter comes. Omen substitute Sc
cretly marked money for the $780,
900 provided by the boys family.
Then the locale switches to
young married couple and their lit
tie baby, marooned in the West by
the muddy roads. They leave their
car, take refuge in ramshackle
house, which, because it is furnished
with supplies, the audience imme-
diately knows is to be the hide-out
for the kidnapers.
After the crooks arrive, they make
the man pass some of their ransom
money, find out that it has been
marked. Things get hot. The baby
gets sick. Gunner refuse medical
aid. The police net closes in, three
of the men desert the fourth Two
of the three are killed before they
even get started on a getaway. The
third returns, kills the one they left
behind and then gets filled with lead
by the 'ferocious" Miss Hudson.
One of the Best
This Is one of the best thrillers
of it's kind. There isn't real hero
among the lot of gunner, Omen or
sweethearts There isn't even real
heroine. Maybe that's what makes
the picture SO genuinely entertain
ing. There are few moments when
you could yawn, several when you
could laugh, and plenty when you
can thoroughly enjoy it.
Miss Hudson is in one of her best
roles. Bruce Cabot, not seen for
some time, makes a grand killer;
Cesar Romeo continues on the up
ward trail with the part of the only
crook for whom we had any SYM
pathy Edward Norris, new leading
man, makes substantial start.
The Lyric stage bill this week
hasn't a weak link in it. 1t reaches
the peak with Carl F'reed's Har-
monica Harlequins. These nine
young men present mouth organ
music symphonically, in popular
syncopation, and comically They
play instruments varying in size
from three inches to three feet,
and play them we'll. Best of their
pieces are "The Music Goes Round
and Round" and Tiger Rag"
TumbIers Are Good
Another act which almost stops
the show is that of the Monroe
Brothers in their Jumbling stunts.
They aren't the routine, jump-up-
on-my- shoulder stunts, but are per-
formed on tight net, which causes
the tumblers to rebound into the air.
Dressed as clowns, these men are

this quiet exit is almost alarming.
For almost 30 years Leopold Sto-
kowski has been one of the bad
boys of American music, as well as
one Of it's greatest masters, He
Knocked society matrons, he scolded
his audiences and defied his direc-
tors; he flung futuristic music in
the teeth of kissing public-yet
he put Philadelphia on the map and
built up an orchestra which Rach-
maninoff hailed as the finest of
all time"
Directed Choir
Born in Paris 48 years ago, Sto-
kowski car1e from London to be
organist and choir director of st.
Bartholomew in New York in 1905.
A summer as director of a series of
orchestra concerts in London three
years later impelled him to take up
the baton as a means of livelihood.
In 1909, Cincinnati's patrons of
music decided to reorganize their
symphony orchestra, and intrusted
its rebuilding to the blond, hand
some and unknown young organist.
Stokowski worked wonders in his
three years stay, but objected to the
"petticoat government" on the part
of the directors wives, and resigned
Philadelphia was virgin musical
soil when the new director arrived
in the fall of 1912. He found no rich
heritage or background, but rather
an inferior orchestra which had
struggled along many years without
much help from it's second-rate
directors. Stokowoki. however, soon
proved his ability to handle and
drive his men to new heights Of
achievement.
Stressed Etiquette
Stokowski'S lessons in concert ETH
quette are we'll known. He began by
lecturing the late arrivals and un-
firing chatterers, and finally gave a
mock concert in which the curtain
rose on the. conductor and one cell
list, with the orchestra struggling
in during the first number and chat
ting throughout the performance.
In 1924, he included Charles G..
Dawes Melody" on one program,
and in a curtain speech, urged his
listeners to vote for the composer
and Coolidge.
Stokowski was one of the early
American champions of Stravinsky's
music. When the Russians music
began to sound tame, he took up
the cause of Schoenberg and Varese,
whose "Amerique" shocked the audi
ence with a fire siren included in

tors masterful orchestra transcript

A GREAT many laymen confuse the
terms personality and character.
A great many psychologists. who
should know their terms, make the
same mistake. So why find fault with
the layman?
When you speak Of character you
mean that part of the personality thai
you can count on. When you speak
of personality you have in mind a
combination of traits, which, taken
together, constitute personal force.
Don't lose sight of the force idea.
If you want to know the difference
between personality and character, go
to any bank and try to borrow hun
dred dollars on your personality. 1t
may be done; has been done. But
you will get farther if you present
your character, Which is generally
symbolized by third party in terms
of indorser.
Perhaps we can get down to the
difference this way. Character Is
your inward self, which has been tried.
Personality is your outward self, which
looks good, Indifferent or bad, but has
not been tried-necessarily.
Personality can be camoufaged a
great deal. Character will crop out
in spite of everything.
