JOAN BENNETT GETS ANNOYED
 AT N. Y.PARTY
Picture Taken She De- mands Plate, It Is Given
 Her, But It's Empty
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-Joan Ben nett is fragile young woman with ! innocent eyes and schoolgirl complexion, yet she doesn't hesitate to lash out at her tormentors if she feels the occasion demands it.
 l have in mind a recent party which Walter Wanger gave in the studio apartment atop Radio City. So many celebrities attended that fashion editors had their phtograph- CTS on hand to get some pictures of the stars in their new fall crea- tions.
 This studio is sumptuously ap- pointed, with an extraordinarily ap- pealing bar for the convenience of thirsty guests. AS gay throng crowded about this bar, a news photographer asked Miss Bennett if she would pose.
 Don't take my picture with a glass in my hand" she instructed him, hurriedly setting down glass of champagne.
 However, later the photographer caught her in a convival pose and, being under orders from a hard boiled city editor, shot the scene without giving it thought. In this scene Miss Bennett had a glass of water or something.
 l
 She set the glass down. She ad- jvanced upon our now slighly alarm ed lensman. Give me that plate, ' she cried.
 Hearing this, Walter Wanger interceded for his guest. This is an outrage-give me that plate at once," he demanded.
 To the surprise of the onlookers. the photographer drew out the plate and handed it to 'Wanger.
 You are getting soft" a colleague jeered later. T would never have given him the plate"
 "I didn't" he explained, but why create a stir and ruin the party when everybody should be having fun? All I did was hand him an empty plate"
 Broadways currently successful producers have not inspired such fanciful legends and tag-lines as the late Ziegfeld and Belasco com manded, yet the theatre is rocking along in accepted fashion. In the old days no one mentioned Flo without calling him the Great Glorifier" or the "Czar of Show Girls" and sentimental, white haired Belasco was always the high priest of the theatre"
 Now we have the Gilbert Mill lers, the Guthrie McClintics, the Sam Harrises and a quorum of oth- CTS just as successful, but no wreathes of superlatives are hung around their necks. They are men of the common sense variety who feel that a correct balance in the checking account is as important to success in the theatre as lead- ing lady's figure. Anyway, they produce hits, and that's what this town asks.
 The place where Georges Car pentier used to play indoor golf in upper Manhattan is now Cuban night club. Before that it was a Chinese restaurant.
 To please the vanity of temper amental celebrities most press ag- ents have their charges met at the train by a staff of photographers But only one is actually shooting The others are flashing bulbs on empty cameras.
 That funny gesture which Dave Chasen uses had an unpremediated beginning. He was touring Wales and seeing a friend, waved Shyly at him from the balcony The gesture provoked such laughter &lat he has used if ever since

always a hidden tear, is flexible in
its expressive power, in its delicate
sinuoseness and when need 1t, in its
limpid agility. All of these ingredi-
ents we're present in his program yes
terday.
Some Defects Noted.
1t may be that the Joy in song and
the quickly established bond between
himself and his public has made the
remedying of some defects of Sec
ondary Importance in Mr.. Martini's
eyes. At any rate his tendency of
impure tonal attack carried out
through an entire program can be
reckoned as serious blemish on an
otherwise enjoyable occasion and this
fault has existed for a long time in
Mr.. Martini's work. 1t is such 4
simple thing TO overcome that 1t Is
pity that it is allowed to remain. This
and indistinct diction, even in his
Evening star., 1937-11-08

riatve language, has been a part of
tbs artists technical equipment for
some time now and invariably robs the
listener Of his full measure of enjoy
ment. An artist of Mr.. Martini's
endowments should have no question
raised as to the perfection OF his
mechanical control.
In spite of the undimmed luminos-
ity Of his voice yesterday, Mr.. Mar
TIM was not in his best form. The
program was not delivered with the
same sparkle that he has been known
to have nor was there much attempt
at variety. In choice Of numbers,
there was plenty of material to open
up the interpretive resources to the
fullest extent for he gave two arias,
the "Je crois entendre encore" from
Bizet's Lies Pecheurs des Perles" and
una furtiva lagrima" from "L'Elisir
d Amore," and groups of three songs
each in Italian, French, English and
Spanish.
Sibella Song Programmed.
Among the italian songs was ST.
bella's 20 bocca dolorosa" which he
has not programmed before and in
the French group, Fourdrain's lovely
"Celle que je prefere" and Deems
Taylor's arrangement of the 18th CEN
tury LA Chanson du Tambourineur. !"
Two interesting songs, II Come to
You" and "Sin tn Amor" by Miguel
Sandoval,- excellentfy written, were in
cluded in the English and Spanish
numbers. Campbell-Tipton's Spirit
Flower" was substituted for Buzzi-
Peccia's programmed Good Night, My
Love-"
Separating the vocal numbers in
both the first and second parts of the
program were solos by Sandoval who
so won the favor of the audience with
the exceptionally clear and fluent
character of his playing as we'll as his
Evening star., 1937-11-08

port OF Miguel Sandoval at the piano.
In an age when might seems right
b the vocal field, it is a pleasure to
hear an artist who sings so easily and
simply as does Mr.. Martini. Without
any visible physical effort, he spins
hts phrases with a heart-reaching
pnal quality that is born from a love
of his art. Whatever he does in the
nature of studied effects is accom-
plished with genuineness of spirit
that never allows one to forget that
singing is a spontaneous impulse with
him first, and an artistic product after
wards.
Thus, throughout his program
whether in operate aria or simple
song, he displayed his unique gift of
being able to make it appreciable alike
by the most cultured and the least
musically educated amongst his listen
ers. The pure color of his voice. which
Is Of that timbre apparently reserved
for Italians alone, and which holds
Evening star., 1937-11-08

finely tuned accompaniments that he
was recalled both times for encores.
And Mr.. Martini nearly doubled his
program with the many additional
numbers he generously gave, delight
ing his admirers to the utmost by
singing all the favorite songs, that
they know to be part of his roper
tOire.
