Seventeen" Is a comedy of the
love-life of Willie Baxter, not quite
18. Privately he suffers all the tor
ment of unrequited love. Little
things like asking his father for
spending money and running err
rands for his mother do not seem
to him to fit in with a grownup's
activities.
When he. falls in love with Lola,
the baby-talk girl, things point
toward an exciting and humorous
climax.

In the former appearance she
astounded us with the technical &C
complishments of 15-year-old girl;
yesterday she disclosed a deeper
musical conception in addition to
her digital prowess.
The Beethoven compositions,
light-hearted yet elusive in char
acter, were played with sureness of
purpose and beauty of color. Two
Bach compositions followed. Siloti's
arrangement of an organ prelude in
G major and the Partita in G
Minor. Miss Marks delivered the
prelude with solidity and grandeur
befitting the music, and her playing
of the partita, though faltering at
times, possessed clarity of outline
and pianissimi of silken texture.
Virtuosity Is Accomplished
OF the second group, the Schu-
mann "Papillons" was given salts
factory performance. In thr e e
Brahms compositions that followed,
two capriccios and an intermezzo
from OPP. 116, the young soloist
seemed very much at home. The
intermezzo was done exquisitely,
and the capriccios were of heroic,
Brahmsian proportions.
Miss Marks accomplished vir-
tuosity was given full sway in
LISTS F Minor Concert Etude and
the Paganini-Liszt variations in A
Minor, which completed the con-
cert. Moreover, she made them
musically interesting as we'll as
stunning display pieces.
Throughout the program, many
new beauties marked the path of
Miss Marks musical progress. She
has developed compelling, song
full tone, there is increased power
and richness in her forte passages
and a delightful delicacy to her pi-
anissimo. Furthermore, she handled
the acoustical difficulties of the Art
Institutes Sculpture Court as COM
petently as any young pianist we
have heard. Miss Marks already
has demonstrated remarkable &C
complishments, and her future
promises to be yet more brilliant.

not be our choice as means of
livelihood, but what he can do with
q whip and chair is credit to
the human race. He moved around
as gracefully as his felines, and was
buster than any man we ever saw
Carrying on the family tradition,
Mrs. Beatty also entered the ring
and persuaded three incompatible
jungle playmates to perform for the
audience. There should be place
somewhere in the League of Nations
cabinet for young lady who can
make lion and tiger ride on an
elephants back.
The Beatty's' supporting cast sur
passed any Hollywood super spec
tacle" in skill, versatility and num-
bers. Our early circus training
hadn't fitted us to watch three rings
at once, nor prepared us for the
nervous strain of watching the
Great Gretonas keep their balance
Dancing Under Difficulties
BY the time this European fam
lily had piled two men, a chair, an
other man and a girl all on a wire
at the top of the tent, we had about
enough. But the Great Gretonas
took it in their stride.
Terpsichore is courted by the Coles
Brothers troupe, though unconven-
tionally.
Harold Barnes, the 16-year-old
boy wonder, did a tango on the tight
wire. Fifty-five tons of elephants
danced the Continental and the
Carioca, and a pretty young miss
tap-danced on a galloping horses
back.
Smell Still There
Nine other young ladies, billed as
the human butterflies" performed
scarf dance while hanging by their
teeth in mid-air. Let Col. w. de
Basils Ballet Russo take notice.
Circuses, we suppose, have changed
less than other forms of amusement
But the loud speaker has replaced
the ring master, and such things as
hippopotamus, Is elephants. in
Guiding the great Jumbo II, and the
worlds tallest and smallest men
are amazing to one brought up on
"one-ringers."
Still, there are familiar landmarks
The band members still wear red
coats, and play as loud and fast
as ever; the clowns haven't altered
their makeup or antics and the cir
Gus smell remains practically the
same.

rumor that Dorothy Dell had been
seriously injured in an auto smash
up. Scarcely had the denials been
wired back when the tragedy actu-
ally occurred.
Some of the favorite rumors, all
hardy perennials, include one about
the actress whose studio had to
spend thousands of dollars buying
up nude photographs of her taken
before her entrance into films; one
about the high salaried star-any
Star-who is letting a poor old
mother Starve in Idaho, Wyoming.
Budapest, Sioux City, or wherever
poor old mothers starve; and that
classic of all, the rumor about the
horse Preston Foster punched to
death.
For good measure can be added
the fables that Ginger Rogers uses
a double in dancing scenes, that
Shirley Temple is Is, but just small
for her age. and the one that Kath-
arine Hepburn was married last
week in Arizona. 1t was last week"
in 1884, last week" in 1885. and
last week" again this year. Which
makes it her Paper Anniversary.

Pausing between dance groups at
the Roof to sip a cool drink, the be-
specialized, Studious director told US
that while the East has the best
musicians in the country. this is
no concern of his because he never
plays for musicians but for the pub
lie.
Perhaps this explains why his or
chestra, organized less than two
years ago and almost unknown until
last winter, is now tops" with
countless radio listeners and dane
erS.
Began at Bottom"
To Indiana Roof patrons Satur-
day night, Mr.. Goodman was UNI
disputed king of swing" but the
first time he played for Manager
Tom Devine he was only a clarinet
player in Ben Pollock's orchestra
at Racine, Wis.
Since those days of work with
other hands. including Ted Lewis
and Paul Whiteman's, the rise to
popularity with his own organiza-
ton has been far from easy. Benny
Goodman'S band played its first en-
gagement at Billy Roses Music Hall
in July, 1884. Then, Mr.. Goodman
explained to show us what fate can
do, the boys became discouraged and
decided to disband.
An NBC radio offer, Your Hit
Parade, caused disorganization to be
postponed indefinitely, The orches-
ira appealed to listeners, its radio
work won it an engagement at the
Roosevelt Hotel in New York, fol-
lowed by successful winter at the
Congress in Chicago. Now Mr..
Goodman goes back to New York,
not unknown, but the director Of
one of radios most popular dance
bands.
Stumped by Mozart
The directors musical ability is
not limited to weird swing" inter-
pretations. Far from it; he is a
recognized clarinetist, and plays
many difficult classical compositions.
He told us of rehearSing six hours
with the Belgian Pro Arts String
Quartet Mozart's Clarinet Quintet"
to make a monograph recording,
only to abandon the enterprise be-
cause desired perfection could not
be attained.
Musical undertakings with the
Goodmans are family affairs. On the
road as advance agent to handle
bookings and arrangements is one
brother, and another is a member
of the band.

Maennerchor's
Festival Is Sci
Annual Program to Be
Given on May 23.

Business is to be combined with
pleasure in the indianapolis Maen-
nerchor's annual May Festival, to

the regular program of choral and
featured numbers, the audience is

women vocal students of the city's

papers.
The mems chorus, under the di-
rection of Karl Reckzeh, will be
heard in several selections to com-
plete the musical program, which is
to be interspersed with dancing.

HOLLYWOOD rumOrS are elab0rately
formed and heavily disguised, like
the bewhiskered villain in a melo-
drama. Particularly plaguing are
the runors of death, with Ginger
Rogers and Ann Shirley the most
frequently imagined victims. 1t
keeps studio officials busy and en-
barrassed. they say, calling up stars
TO see if they are still alive.
No one knows precisely how or
why such a story starts. Some one
who has heard it telephones news
paper, surprising the city editor who
must check on the story to protect
his paper.
R.mors Are Classified
Students of the subject have di-
vided Hollywood rumors into sew
eral classes Heading the category
are Grade A rumors, which pass the
whispering stage to mingle with the
days news in the papers: and Grade
B, which includes stories that never
get into pubic print, but which are
hardly less effective.
A Grade A story that kept film
columnists and drama editors in a
state of mingled anticipation and
irritation was the one concerning a
film appearance of Katharine Hep
burn and Fredric March, with John
Ford as director.
Opinion was about equally divided
between The Plough and the Stars"
and "Playboy of the Western
World" as the stars vehicle. After
more than a month of discussion,
it turned out to be Mary OF Scot
land" But the gossipers had
guessed the principals correctly.
The most Earring rumor occurred
at the time of Dorothy Dell's death
in an automobile accident. Two days
before the tragedy, correspondents
hurried to the airport to investigate
a story that she had been killed in
an airplane crash. The next day
news wires from New York asked
Hollywood reporters to check the

Bandmaster
Booked for
Lyric Revue
Memory of Hot July - and
Packed Houses - Still
Kept in Mind.

When Buddy Rogers brings his
California Cavaliers to the Lyric
Friday for weeks engagement, his
only request will be that the the
ater's cooling system is in good
working order.
1t took an accident last July to
prove the handsome screen star and
musicians local popularity as we'll
as his gameness. His appearance
conceded with breakdown in the
Lyrics air-conditioning machinery,
but working beneath the lights at a
temperature of nearly 100 degrees,
he packed the house for five shows
a day.
ITO do that" says Ted Nicholas
Of the Lyric, you have to be real
trouper"
Has Travelled Far
Since playing indianapolis last
year, Buddy has made couple of
pictures in London, reorganized his
band and returned for a series of
hotel and vaudeville appearances.
He Is playing the Palace in Cleve-
land this week, was in Toronto the
week before, and recently provided
the stage show at Loew's State on
Broadway.
Sharing honors with Buddy in the
Lyric revue is to be JEANNE Lang,
tiny singer who first gained prom
inence in Paul Whitemans movie,
THE King of jazz" and who later
was featured with Whiteman's or
chestra.
Others on the bill are Marty May,
who played Huck, the orchestra
leader, in the stage version of
Roberta" and has been heard more
recently as the star of the CHS pro-
gram, Marty May-time"; Ruthie
Barnes, tap dancer, and Julius
Losch and Arnold HaSley, band
members featured in comedy bits.
Stage Is Preferred
Both Mr.. Rogers and Miss Lang
prefer their present musical activi-
ties to screen work. Though jean
ME drifted from the stage into mu-
sic quite by accident, Buddy started
out as musician.
His first instrument was the
trombone, but by the time he had
left the University of Kansas, he
had learned to play the piano,
trumpet, saxophone, clarinet, accor-
dion, guitar and drums with pro-
fessional skill.
When the orchestra swings into
Twelfth Street Rag" it's favorite
tune, Buddy demonstrates his versa
tility by playing all the above in
struments, and climaxes his per-
Torrance by an impressive vocal
!. rendition of the lyrics.

Most circuses that visited our viii
lage were cowboy and Indian" af-
fairs, presented by some spurious de-
scendent of Buffalo Bill. There was
one, however, that had lion. We
recall that he was a disappointed
looking beast, apparently suffering
from nostalgia and brave but los
ing fight against the mango.
He Can Have the Job
There was nothing NANCY or dis
appointed about Mr.. Beat:y's 40
cats" To be sure, they were sleep
ing peacefully in their cages when
we arrived, but when they entered
the arena they looked the picture
of health, if not of contentment.
1t is evident that the lions and tigers
aren't very fond of their work or Mr..
Beatty. They approached the train

ing to the dentist.

HOLLYWOOD, May 1.-THE cur
few rang each night at 1920 for
Owen Davis Jr. during the film
ing of His Majesty Bunker Bean"
1t was rather unusual one,
however, since it didn't require
Davis to put out the lights and
go to sleep, but merely banned
further study on his scenes until
the following day.
Co-directors Edward Killy and
William Hamilton issued the edict
when they learned that Davis, en-
thusiastic over the biggest oppor-
tunity Of his acting career, had
been burning the midnight cleo

AND JUSTICE
(Stanly News and Press)


Life is a mixture of tragedy and
joy, but when one thinks of a hui
man beast slipping into a hotel
room of a young woman, killing
her, and then beating her in the
face with the butt of the gun, one
begins to wonder if all the joys OF
a lifetime in the immediate family
of the victim can ever outweigh
the sorrow which such a tragic end
brought. And the laws of our land
do not provide for the administra-
ton of justice in the matter.
OF course the negro youth who
has confessed to the killing of Hell
en- Clevenger will sooner or later
be led m~umbling into the gas
chamber in Raleigh, and death will
be his fate. So far as the law is
concerned, justice will have been
meted out to the guilty person.
But what about those who made
it possible for the negro to have
access to the hotel building and to
the girls room? Certainly any hotef
manager who would hire OF permit
to be hired a negro whose picture
him as one of less than one
tenth ordinary sense needs to bel
punished in some manner. One
wonders if the robbery motive
the negro gave could have
any connection with the pay
which he received, and whether
the employing official of the hotel
satisfied to hire half-wits who will
for almost nothing.
We are not acquainted with the
officials Of that particular hotel,
md it is entirely possible that pre-
yention of such a tragedy was be-
7ond their control. However, the

Inc gospel tor ALI Men.
Lesson for August 23rd. Acts
11:5-18.
Golden Text: John 3:16.
Either the Good News is for
everyone, Or it is for no one. St.
Paul says hat every Christian is to
be a fellow-worker unto the king
dom of God, and hat kingdom is
worldwide. Hence missionaries of
the Gross have pushed their way
into every corner of the globe. And
by their beneficent fruits we know
them and praise them. James Rus
sell Lowell gives his testimony in
these familiar words: s'When the
Sceptic can find a place, ten miles
square, On this globe, where the.
Gospel of Christ has not gone, and
cleared the way and laid the
foundations and made decency and
security possible, it will be time
enough to consider his substitute"
1t is frequently said that missions
should be confined to the homeland.
But such a policy would not only
