''MIKADO" WELL GIVEN
BY TECH OPERA CLUB
Robert Racoosin and Frank Num-
bers Share Honors-Play
Repeated Tonight.

COMEWHAT more frequently than
- now and then" has THE Mikado''
occupied the attention of amateur
groups, but rather less often has
so successful a product resulted as
that unfolded last evening by the
Tech Opera Club in the school aud
itorium. Little short of amazing was
the plenteous array Of vocalizers that
populated the boards during the
chorus numbers, testimony to the
quantity and quality of talent happily
available at Mckinley.
For an all-around superb perform
ance, peaens are due Robert Racoosin.
Combining throughout an acceptable
voice with understanding and spon-
taneity in his speaking sequences, he
was best, however, while rendering,
1.-The Flowers That Bloom in the
Spring"
Possessed of more regard for the
niceties Of line-reading, Frank Num-
bers would have snatched first honors,
for his was, without a doubt, the
best set of vocal chords exercised
last evening. Wilor Maxwell did
well as Yum-Yum (but watch that
makeup tonight, Wilor), and Mariana
Brumbaugh and Marjorie Brett con-
tributed able support as Pitti-Sing
and Peep-Bo.
Alexander Stabler was a convincing
Mikado, that is, convincing Gilbert
and Sullivan Mikado, what with his
well-nigh hilarious antics, while Will
liam Scullen made certain that the
non-singing umbrella bearer was not
lost in the shuttle. Katisha, of the
beautious elbow and shoulder-blade,
was ably handled by Jane Baldwin.
The supercillious Pooh-Bah proved
to the liking of Downer Duffy, and he
acquitted himself nobly as the saying
goes.
The Mckinley Orchestra, conducted
by Dore Walten, did right by the Gill
bert and Sullivan score, and the en-
tire production was a credit to Mrs.
Ada Coe. general director. "The
Mikado' will be repeated this evening
with curtain at o'clock, or there
abouts. C. A.. M.

PEARL BUCK TO SPEAK
AT CONSTITUTION HALL

pEARL BUCK, brilliant writer, whose
= Good Earth" brought her Pulit-
zer prize fame, and also brought her
to her native land again, will give
her first public talk from a profess
sional platform, in Washington at
Constitution Hall, Wednesday night
at $50 o'clock. She talks for the
benefit of the Research Laboratory
in Vineland, N. j., where important
research Is made into the causes Of
mental retardation. She will be in
troduced by Mrs. Franklin Delano
Roosevelt.
China, the Land I Know Best,
will be the subject of Mrs. Bucks
talk. Although born in the United
States when her parents, missionaries,
happened to be on visit here, Pearl
Buck was carried to China in market
basket when only 3 months old,
and she grew up there and had her
foundation in literary lines laid in the
legends and fairy tales of that ORR
entail country, as her old Chinese
llul sc ttiQ 4aO1ot dAu ouSaAAAot toASS
to eager little ears.
Pearl Buck went to boarding school
in Shanghai, and at II was sent across
to her native land for college training
in Randolph-M Macon College. "The
Good Earth" which was published
March 2. 1881, stood for 81 months
on the list of best sellers, a record
made by no other book since "Quo
Vadis," IS years earlier. Mrs. Bucks
newest book, "The Exile" is a biog-
raphy of her own mothers life, and
has only recently been released.
Leaders of many groups are patrons
for Pearl Bucks talk here. Reserva-
tions can be made at Mrs. Dorsey's
Bureau in Droop's, 1900 G street.

l. well known in Washington for
her artistic playing, presented
IL an interesting survey Of old and
modern music in harp recital yes
terday afternoon at the Sulgrave Club.
The recitals of Mrs. Brosius always
awaken an interest because of their
educational merit. She is perhaps
one Of the few harpists who makes a
practical demonstration of the Irish
harp in concert and explains about
this instrument as well as about the
compositions performed, when appear
ing in educational centers. She ap-
parently devotes time to research and
introduces numbers Of historical in
terest.
OF all instrumentalists it seems that
harptists are more dependent upon
arrangements of music written for
other instruments. This alone would
be sufficient to put harpist at dis
advantage since music Transcribed for
an instrument is never as comfortable
to play as that written for the instru-
ment itself. However, Mrs. Brosius
does not lose anything by comparison
with other instrumentalists. Her play
ing has charm and one of its char
acteristic traits is never failing ele-
ment Of refinement. Moreover, it is
distinguished by intellectual insight
into the compositions performed, vari-
ETY. Of tone color, fine legato and
full round tone as evidenced in
Haendel's Largo" Her phrasing and
rhythm are always musicianly with
full appreciation of the melodic line
and its value, a praise one cannot al
ways bestow. Her technic is well
under control as is her pedaling. and
her passage work has ripping clear
mes as brought to the fore in THE
Fountain" by label. label occupied
privileged position in Russia at the
beginning of the Goth century, was
honored by the title of 'soloist to his
majesty the Gar" and wrote effec-
lively for the harp during his long
and successful career as professor at
the Imperial Conservatory. He was
considered an outstanding performer
and one of the best composers of his
time.
There were several folk tunes pre-
sented in the second part of the pro-
gram yesterday, played on the Irish
harp. They ranged from the fifth to
the eighteenth century. The instru-
ment introduced, was an exact copy
Of the ancient harp of the ninth CEN
tury belonging to Brian Borough. 1t

The group comprised Scotch, Welsh
and Irish tunes.
Mrs. Brosius Is contemplative art
ist, inclined toward the poetic. In
the "Romanza" by Rubinstein and the
familiar DANA No. 5" by Granados
one missed. perhaps, the customary
fiery element which one associates
with Russian and Spanish music, the
familiar dance was taken at rather
slow tempo. However. her readings
were thoughtful and authoritative and
therefore worth while.
The concert concluded by the
"Rondos des Songes," Rameau De-
bussy's "Arabesque No. /" and La File

plauded her warmly. Ell. De S.

DIETRICH TAKES TURN
AS GAL JEWEL THIEF

WE DON'T know why the movie
w moguls consider audiences so
undeserving that they continue to
make for them cinemas which dress
shopworn situations with lush sets
and glamorous gals.
Desire is the tale Of the pilfered
pearl necklace, a story older than that
about King Alfred and the burned
cakes.
This film, which yesterday opened
at the Metropolitan Theater, Is en-
hanced by Fraulien Dietrich's gaunt
beauty, Travis Banton's gowns, and
Charles Lang's photography, which
is always worthy of praise.
Miss Dietrich plays the exotic jewel
thief who splashes mud in Gary
Cooper's eye, steals his car, insults
him, and right you are!-decides that
the time has come to fall in love.
This she does, aided by q moonlight
night in Spain, music, and q back
ground of shadows and wrought iron
gates.
Mr.. Cooper, who fell for the lady
as soon as he got the mud out Of
his eye, is the reforming influence
in the life of Madeleine" and away
they sail on the Berengeria for domes-
ticity in Detroit.
There are some entertaining mo-
ments in the film, but the good per-
formances are not due to the stars.
John Halliday, who never yet did
a poor job, Alan Mowbray, and Ernest
Cossart, are responsible for the movies
brighter moments. For the rest, there
are shadows and the "blue angel"
Also Pickering at the Metropolitan
is a Vitaphone subject featuring
Little Jack Little. When you see
how rapidly his hands pounce over
the keyboard, you will perhaps realize
why the music which comes out Of
the piano is as bad as 1t sounds.
The newsreel presents a sweep
stakes loser, who mutters that he'll
keep on hoping. There are also
some shots of : the ante-bellum
Natchez plantations. M. w.

''Tin1othy's
Quest" Has
Fine Appeal
Has Everything for
Effective Screen
Entertainment.

EVERY so often one of those pro-
gram pictures-films turned out
between special features by producers
who are paying rent on the studio
space and salaries to players, any
way-bceomes magicaly, perhaps acci-
dentally. imbued with something
which lifts it out of the program"
class. That seems to be what has
happened in the case of "Timothy's
Quest" which yesterday opened at
Loew'S Columbia Theater.
It's hard to say just what is re-
sponsible for this. but regardless Of
the cause, '"Timothy's Quest" is q
mighty worthy cinema entertainment.
OF course, it will not be seriously dis
cussed when the 10 best are being
chosen and If certain cynics choose
to call it sentimental balder-
dash there's not much of an argu-
ment available to prove they are
wrong, but this sentiment and bald
faced hokum are applied so dexter
love becomes so real you will not need
to be ashamed Of the tear in your eye
at the finish. The gruff old gent next
to you will feel the same way.
''Timothy's Quest" adapted from
Kate Douglas Virgins novel, is the
tale Of brave young lads search for
some one to mother his sister; of his
taking her and running away from a
pair of low individuals who traffic
in orphans; Of his finally winning the
heart of a spinster lady and thereby
bringing happiness to any number of
people.
OF course it's sentimental. But it
has everything a good film drama
should have-suspense, action, a tug
at the heart and, If such situations
concerning orphans existed In the
day dealt with, it has the proper au-
thenticity. And it's all done with
sincerity and fine feeling and If you
will give yourself over to its pleasant
spell you will thoroughly enjoy the
result.
It's hard to resist this stalwart
youngster of or 10 who dreams Of
being a gallant Don Quixote and
VIII main purpose is to find the
proper home for his sister and who
then is perfectly ready to turn without
faltering and 60 out and stand on his
own two feet and face the world alone.
Timothy will win you the same way
he wins Miss Vida and all the other
people with whom he comes in con-
tact.
"Timothy's Quest" is a picture
which depends more on story than 1t
does on cast, but all the players per-
form with sincere and unaffected
simplicity. In the main 1t is young
Dickie Moore's picture and he does q
fine job Of carrying it. He has sup
port from Eleanore Whitney (not
dancing. but nice, anyway, Tom
Keene, Elizabeth Patterson, Virginia
Weidler and others. Charles Barton
directed and no doubt is responsible
for much of the success of the film.

over the boys by series Of elbow
