Passing the Buck.

Pat O'Hara and Mike Murphy had
taken jobs at a colliery. Pat one
morning broke his shovel when he
was down in the mine. He was too
lazy. however, to take it to the sur
face with him, so he left it for his
friend. writing on it in chalk:
Take my shovel up, Mike. I've
forgotten it."
But friend Michael knew Pat of old
and refused to be caught by such an
old trick. So he rubbed the message
off and substituted one of his own:
Take it up yourself. I've never
seen it,"

By JOHN w. THOMPSON

A place where there are no I'M
employed actors, where audiences
never boo nor hiss, where expert
mental theatricals are welcomed and
where all f1ops are paid for by the
state, would sound like heaven to
most would-be thespians who tramp
Broadway pavements looking for
work.
But one would gather from Norris
Houghton's excellently written new
book, Moscow Rehearsals." which
deals with what goes on back of the
footlights in Russia, that the bust
ness end of the drama in that coun-
try is quite idealistic. That, how
ever, seems to be about as far as the
Utopianism goes.
Mr.. Houghton, now acting as stage
manager for the surprisingly sue
cessful Broadway production, Libel,
at Henry Millers Theater, is an In
dianapolis boy who left Princeton in
the early 1930's to seek his fortune
il the world of grease-paint.
Received Fellowship
He set Carrie Nation" and was
Theater Guilds Both Your Houses
stage manager for the New York
before he landed a Guggenheim
Fellowship to look into the Russian
theater.
Mr.. Houghton always has been in
terested in dramatics. Several years
ago while in Shortridge High School
we can remember his sketching
stage designs during debating class.
These interludes didn't detract from
Mr.. Hougthon's scholastic achieve
ment, however, because he is one
of those rare men who can sue
cessfully keep many irons in the
fire.
From Shortridge he went to
Princeton, made his mark there with
the Theater Intime and the Tri-
angle Club. In 1854 he set forth
for Russia, armed with a fair knowl-
edge of the language and super
normal inquisitiveness.
Contribution Important
What Mr. Haughton brought
back about the Russians and dra-
matics, learned in the six months he
was there, is an important contribu-
ton to American producers.
Of the 40 Moscow theaters, Mr..
Houghton chose four to investigate
thoroughly. His book contains in
teresting details about them all. I'm
like many reporters who have writ

Bach Works
Are Sung in
Full Beauty
Lutheran Choir PIeases Its
Listeners in First
of Concerts.
BY JAMES THRAsHER

The opportunity to hear Bach's
larger choral works done in our own
city seems probable with the APP
pearance of the newly organized
Lutheran Bach Choir. In their first
full concert at ST. Paul's Lutheran
Church yesterday afternoon, the
choristers, under the direction of
william j. Kirchoff, rewarded a
large audience with fine singing and
the promise of greater things to
come.
Bach never is revealed more init
mately than in his sacred choral
music, and the result, when COM
petently performed, is both spiritu-
ally and musically satisfying. Yes
terday's singing of the cantata,
Gods Time Is the Best" really
achieved this result, and with less
shortcomings than might be ex-
pected from the first concert of a
professional group.
There were rough spots, to be
sure, insecurity of attack and in
sufficient vocal power in the CHI
makes, but Mr.. Kirchhoff evident
ly knows what he is about and i'm
parted much of his intelligent and
sincere conception of the music to
his singers.
In the cantata and the three
chorales that preceded it were found
beauty of pharsing, lovely pianissi-
mos and clear diction. Best of all,
however, was the fact that the per-
Torrance was completely lin char
acter." The stateliness and deep
conviction of the music were ever
present, perhaps because the sing
ers are of the Lutheran Church, for
which so much of Bach's greatest
music was written.
Take Solo Parts
Solo parts in the cantata were
done by Miss Mildred Reimer, So
prano, Miss Mildred Baumgart, con-
tralto, and Frank Scharfe, bass
and done excellently. Good, too,
were the organ solos by A. E. r..
Mueller, who played the choral
prelude, 'Ich Ruff zu Dir, Herr Jesu
Christ" and the last movement of
the second Trio Sonata, whose diff
f1culties preclude its frequent per-
Torrance.
The chorus was fortunate to have
the services of Miss Marie zorn rs
accompanist and soloist. Those who
have heard this gifted pianist know
that her Bach playing is of exqui-
site loneliness. Her solos yester-
day consisted of three choral-pre-
ludes: Rummel's prescriptions Of
thee Have I Ever Loved" and
Now Jesus Christ-Is Risen; and
Nov Cheer Our Hearts This Even
tide" transcribed by Vaughn Will
liams. Not many Bach interpre-
tiers have penetrated more deeply
into the spiritual essence of the
composers meaning than Miss Zorn,
nor given it to us with greater
artistry.
1t is good to know that the Lu-
theran Bach Chorus is established
on firm basis through the spon-
sorship of the Federation of Evan
gelical Lutheran Churches of In
dianapolis and vicinity. Assured of
continued existence, it should do
much toward familiarizing the pub
lie with great compositions too SOL
dom heard.

did Elmer Rice. This we'll known
playwright had b n regional
director for New York, where near
ly 5000 people have been given work
under the theater division of WPA
in 80 performing groups.
Rice cried loudly against censor
ship" when the Mussolini Selassie
play was called off, and he had
encountered resistance to other
plays he had planned on the share
cropper situation and lynching.
Censorship Is Denied
Jacob Baker, assistant WPA ad-
ministrator in charge of spending
the $6,700,000 of art project funds
which are allotted to the theater,
denied censorship.
In his behalf it was pointed out
that there is some difference be-
tween censorship that prohibits any
one putting on any play he pleases.
and that in which the government
decides what kind of plays it is CO.
ing to put on with the taxpayers
money.
Objection was also made to "AAA
Flowed Under" but criticism sub
sided somewhat on revelation that
some lines objected to were quoted
directly from Agriculture Secretary
Wallace's speeches on the issue.
Charge Propaganda"
propaganda" is freely charged
especially in such plays as Glass of
1929" This speculates on the
thoughts and feelings of I'M
employed youth. Radical propa-
ganda" was charged and denied
with equal emphasis. One mans
facts are another mans propa-
ganda.
Thus the Living Newspaper" has
Travelled the same rough road as the
printed one.
More than 10000 people have
been paid from $40 to $155 a month
during the winter for their activities
in the Living Newspaper" and in
the other dramatic VEN ure s
clustered around it in the Federal
Theater Project.
Most Come From Relief Rolls
A few experienced actors. direc-
tors and administrator who were
not on relief have been hired. The
number varies from 10 to 25 per
cent on various projects. That was
to give a leaven of experienced
workers to guide and aid the others.
More than $4,000 people in New
York alone have seen the free per-
formances given. Tickets for some
of the Living Newspaper" and
other plays given by the WPA are
distributed free among those who
can not pay to attend regular thea
tiers. Other projects charge from
Is to SIS cents for seats at their
productions.
The Living Newspaper" and the
rest of the theater projects are
paralleled by other similar relief
projects for dancers, radio perform
ers and writer's. A regular WPA
radio program is now on the air
from Washington, and the New
York dance unit has put on several
programs.
