Lieut.. Benter Offers Variety of
Selections Before Respon-

phony Orchestra, last night continued
his chain Of popular symphony con-
certs before a customarily responsive
gathering that found its way through
the cold to the congenial atmosphere
of the Navy Yard sail loft.
Always one to achieve variety in
his choice of musical selections, the
lieutenant offered program Of
orchestral works generally equal in
duration and diverse in color which
covered several stages of the musical
in the orchestra played with a similar
variety of craftsmanship-in some in
stances showing laudable polish, in
others manifesting a degree of dis
union forgivable. however, considering
the ambitious program undertaken.
Evidenced to the best effect was the
woodwind section and particularly the
frequent solo violin playing Of Mu-
sician Bernard Rosenthal. The brasses
were prominent. as usual. with perhaps
an over-adequate supply Of tremolo.
The Magic Fire Music" from the
Wagner opera -melodrama THE Valky-

evening and acquitted with good

of rising and falling tonal magic

composer Georges Enesco was repre-

DEAR BOSS:
I quit.
Unless you can convince the guys
what run the movie houses in this
town that this thing has gone far
enough, quit.
Used to be that we could come in
the office of a Friday evening, peel
off the coat, growl with great glee
and swing from the floor at some ILL
conceived, half-produced opus about
true love conquering all in the third
floor back. Time was when the class
B pictures flowed into town in a great,
unrelenting tide, and a guy could
feel he was doing something for the
citizens when he had a chance to
stem the torrent with vitriolic words.
The tide never really was stemmed,
but it was good for the soul to try.
That wasn't so long ago, either.
1t was even so short while ago as
New Year day that some one dragged
into town a British masterpiece en-
titled weekend Millionaire" It
was sort of fun getting on that one.
And then what happened. You
started sending me to see things like
Gold Diggers of 1887" "One in a
Million" Three Smart Girls" That
Girl from Paris" all of them mighty
pleasant musical comedies. And
lately there have been Men of Af-
fairs" and Beloved Enemy" which,
even if they weren't 10 best entries,
at least allowed for none of the jibes
a guy has to get off his chest now
and then.
Even the class B films have let
me down. Bulldog Drummond Es-
capes," Jungle Princess" and THE
Woman Alone" gave me little hope
before I went to see them. But
what happened? The darned things
turned out to be entertaining.
So here's what's going to happen.
Unless I get a good, rip-roaring to-
mato OF the old school to jump on,
quit. Maybe you can get the boys
to make another college Holiday"
It's sparring partners like that We
need or we'll all be sissies.
Hollywood is trying to soften us;
don't let 'em do it.

"WEDDING" Is FEATURE
OF PROGRAM ON STAGE
Kirkpatrick Comedy Is Most En-
tertaining of Group of One
Act Plays.

A WEDDING" one-act comedy by
John Kirkpatrick, proved most
entertaining of the short plays pre-
sented last evening in Hine Audito-
rum by the Southeast Community
Players, for it was in that opus that
Robert c. Caldwell fidgeted and
stormed by turns in a frantic search
for the inevitable pre-wedding lost
collar button. Caldwell displayed more
than a modicum of aptitude at fdget-
ing and storming, while Otto Dekom,
whose hands earn him designation as
q male zasu Pitts" was the hit of
the program, rendering least possible
actual assistance to the harried BRIDE
groom. Betty Hunter was not too
sure of her lines in the bride role, with
Georgia Hojak, Harry Quirk and Eu-
gene Wallen adequate in their bits.
While the quarreling soon-to-be-
weds, discovering each others faults
and deciding it was not such a bad
idea, offered the largest slice of en-
joyment, Kenneth S. Goodman's
Back Of the Yards" and There's
Money Coming to You," from the
pen of Arthur Goodwin, were accept
. able as well. In the former, Kay Will
loughby played a girl crook who best
ed boy crook masquerading as for
tune teller, but it was all in fun, and
Harry Upton got the pearls back and
the lady, too. Mary Willoughby, Will
fred Vinneau and Oscar Hamowitz
were the others.
. In Back of the Yards" directed,
rs were the others. by Mary Olive
O'Connell. Harry Quirk played the
kindly priest who convinces an erring
6 youth that he should take the rap"
and Quirk's was a plausible charac-
terization. In the role of the boy
drawn into his pals hold-up plans
through which his friend meets death,
Jack Sherry turned in a creditable
effort, according proper value to both
= defiant and penitent moods. Addi-
.tional good words for Max Rust as

SADLY, gentlemen, I must say the
Messrs. Phillips and Macarthur are
right. 1t is the first time there has
been complete agreement on anything
in the drama department since the
issue of how to spell "cat" reared its
ugly head. The need for bad pictures
is desperate. The manufacturers of
the particular brand of vitriol we use
have virtually had to close their plants.
1t is true that Hardie Meakin was
considerate enough to give us Great
Guy and, Carter, you were not so
bad with "Outcast." Each of them,
however, had something that kept a
good wholesome snarl just out of the
reviewers grasp, "Outcast" especially.
Pictures like these, as matter Of
fact, are even worse for happiness in
the department than q constant sue
cession Of good ones. I'm accused of
