Film With Message
At the RialtO.

CONSIDERED merely as motion
picture entertainment, Damaged
Lives" the new film at the Rialto
Theater, is no great shakes. You are
reminded constantly that skirts are
shorter these days, that not for a
number of years have there been
places named "Joe's," that the ma jor
Hollywood studios must know a few
tricks about lighting and sound re-
production that they have not let out.
But all these things seem facetious
when applied to Damaged Lives" be-
cause this is not a motion picture
entertainment, but film with mes
sage.
1t is a dramatic tale, principally be-
cause of this message and not because
OF the manner of its telling the mes
sage, though this is graceful enough.
There are number of moments which
pack real punch. OF course, it is
not particularly pleasant, this story
OF a young man who almost ruined
a pair of lives in one careless evening.
but neither is the public health prob
lem which it is fighting pleasant. The
best that can be said of it, and all
that should be said of it, is that it is
an intelligent attempt to cast light
where there may have been darkness
before, and for this reason it is an
extremely worthwhile project. II it
makes its message effective to one
person in every thousand to which it
is aimed it will have done "a real
service to every community and every
one of you and you. HIM.

CHARLES COBURN, well-known

Hollywood the other day, warned Of
a crisis in the American theater be-
cause of the shortage of stock COM
panies and praised Clara Tree Major
and her Children's Theater OF New
York as training school for young
players.
Mr.. Coburn, who has a role in a new
M-G-M film starring Walter Huston,
said:
II am a firm believer in starting
the child at an early age to see plays.
Plays well acted, Of subjects which
develop through imagination the

the finer instincts of good taste. I

String Ensemble
Well Received.
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

THE first concert Of the series spon'
sored by the. Conti-Berenguel
management took place last evening
at the Raleigh Hotel ballroom. The
program was presented by the Metro.
politan Opera String Ensemble, the
members of which are Frederick
Buldrini and Salvatore Dell'Isola, vio-
linists; John Di Janni, violist, and
Mario Mazzoni, cellist, assisted by
Amelia Cont, solo harpist of the Met
ropolitan Opera and Chicago Civic
Opera, and Sylvia Grazzini, colora-
tura. The ballroom is a pleasant hall
for a concert and the atmosphere was
quite in keeping with the, type of pro-
gram given by the artists.
With the exception of Beethoven's
"Quartet in F Minor, op. 25," the re-
manning numbers were Of distinctly
lyric character and more suited to a
salon musicale than a recital program.
The string ensemble was the first to
be heard, and throughout the Bee
thoven Quartet, the very fine quality
OF tone of the four players impressed
itself upon the listener. They are
gifted as regards their musicianship
for the Interpretation of chamber
music and when more finesse is ac-
quired, should be most enjoyable
group to hear. However, the many fine
shadings and effects which are essen
tial embellishments of Beethovens
music were not fully realized, although
the final movement had more differ
entation than the others.
A group of salon numbers, Bee
thovens "Minuetto," Dittersdorf's s
"Andante" and Boccherini's "Minu-
etto" served to bring out the fine vio-
linistic tone of MIR. Buldrini. They
were charmingly played with much
grace and delicacy, and pleased the
audience so much that another num-
Der had to be added.
Although not scheduled on the pro-
gram for a solo, Nine. Cont an
nounced that she had been requested
to play the first movement of the
Concert Etude," by John Thomas. 1t
was a pleasant addition to the pro-
gram and an opportunity to hear Nine.
Contis rich tone and fluent scale
work. Her harp has a fine resonant
quality and Nine. Cont brought it
out to the fullest in her short but
artistically played number.
Miss Grazzini, who recently ap-
peaNd as Gilda in the performance
Of "Rigoletto" at Constitution Hall,
sang a group of songs, including Per-
golesis Nina" Schumann's "An der
Mond" and Massenet's louvre tes
Yeux Bleu," accompanied by Nine
Cont on the harp. Miss Grazzini's
voice Is an extremely light one and
almost without body except in the
higher register. A better developed
legato was needed for q full presenta-
ton Of these songs and a more out
standing style. She was heartedly
encored. however, and sang again to
the harp accompaniment.
The remainder of the program con-
tained "The Last Rose of Summer
by Miss Grazzini and Nine. Cont; the
'Intermezzo," from Thomas "Mignon,' >
and the "Intermezzo," from Mascagni's
"Cavalleria Rusticana," played by the
ensemble and Nine Cont at the harp
concluding with the "Gavotte," from
Massenet's "Manon," by Miss Graz
Xini and the ensemble.

Hardships Beset

A MOTHER hardship has beset the

tease and has dropped merely the word
on the left side Of the hyphen. She
photographs we'll, which is consistent
with all the other items in "Ah Baba
Goes to Town"
The vocal burden of the film, which
is pleasantly musical even if we went
lot of paragraphs without saying so,
is carried by Tony Martin. Martin not
only is the best singer in Baghdad,
but also its best-looking young man.
Even so he is of subordinate impor-
tance to the plot as compared not only
with Cantor, but also Roland Young,
the latter happily cast as very droll
sultan who is ready to try anything
to save his harem and his people from
the ravages of depression. For feminine
charm the picture offers Virginia Field
and June Lang in addition to Miss
Hcvlck.
TWENTIETH FOX, the
studio which goes fairly mad at
the mere thought of something in cos
tune, is at its best in this respect in
the Cantor opus. His twenty-fifth
anniversary party land that is what it
is in effecD, is dress affair such as
only an Oriental background could
provide.
Allusions to the New Deal, some
pointed and others quite blunted with
use, are confined primarily to work
relief, although there is sly reference
here and there to such items as the
Supreme Court and taxation. Cantor
in the role of a dreamer who carried
the current idea of economic saliva
ton back to Baghdad is entrusted with
the utterance of most of the authors
references to the broad theme of the
piece. His biggest laughs, for some
reason or other, are obtained with
the phrase ':my friends" which is
quite an apt vocal imitation of the
original

unfortunately there are many more
when it is obvious that they would
rather not. if no one minded. Some
how or other, we did.
After I'D Rather Be Right" in
which the stage deals with the same
general theme, the impression becomes
rather vivid that play makers get more
fun out of the idea of attacking the
New Deal than out of actually going
through with it. If it isn't that, press
departments are building the public
up to quite let-down.
Like the recent stage play which is
such sell-out that any criticism looks
captious, ALI Baba Goes to Town." is
more salve than salt for whatever
wounds the conditions have made in
the body polite. 1t disposes Cantor in
the role of economic saviour of Bagh-
dad, the ancient city with troubles
strangely akin to those of modern
times. 1t is his idea for the preserva-
ton of the status quo that all of the
unemployed shall go to work for the
government; that they shall build
roads which go nowhere; that they
shall build bridges even if it is neces-
sary to dig rivers to run under the
bridges after they are built. That
should be funny the way it was writ
ten, but somehow it isn't. Cantor does
not seem to get his heart into the work
OF Towne and Baker. He is gentle and
amiable and good natured when may
be it would have been better if he had
been hard, annoyed and scornful
about the whole thing. In other words,
Cantor and the entire cast acted as if
they had voted the other way and were
going to stick to it in spite of the script.

TAKE the picture from the simple
perspective of the New Deal laid
down in ancient times, a fanciful
enough conceit in its way, and it may
prove an amusing spectacle. There is

Your Accident Bill

Accidents account for about 30 per cent of Americas
90 all motoring costs This is the estimate of National Safety
Council statstieans. They figure the expense of an average
100 mile driving trip is $3.50, divided as foliws: Gasoline,
$3.50 oil 20 cen $ E; tires 10 cents; accidents II cents.
The direct cost of last years accidents, according to the
same authorities, was 81, 100000 600. That is enough to pave
or build $4,000 miles of road, at a cost of $4,000 per mile
or 10 buy 100000 automobiles worth 1000 each.
Il is satisfactorily impossible to accurately determine in
direct eo is of au ombde accidents. But all experts agree that
they are substantially greater than even the direct costs.
Here is a gigan ic, totally unnecessary drain on The ma
tions economic resources And, bad as that is, it is nothing
compared 10 the human waste recklessness and incompetent
driving causes. In 1886, traffic accidents killed almost $4,000
human beings. They injured 300, 900 more-of whom a large
number will eventually die as a result of the accidents.
Blasted careers, parentless children, ruined homes-are
but three of the consequences of a heavy foot on the throt-
tie, a drunk at tine wheel, an incompetent in control of a lh-
thai machine weighing thousands of pounds.
We are now entering the winter season, in which the ac-
cident rate has asways risen in the past. The most dangerous
driving days are just ahead, with rain, ice, snow and early
darkness to increase the always-present hazards. Yet it is in
our power to revoke precedent, and make winter a safe sea
son. All that is needed is the cooperation of each motorBt and
pedestrian. Do your part.

A Tragic Error

I'curable illness that strikes an individual down in the
prime of life Is ont of the worst tragedies il mankind. But it
paes to insgnificance when compared 10 the case Of an indi-
vidual who, upon finding that he is suffering from an illness
which public dogma has enormously taught him to believe as
incurable hopelessy does nothing about il.
For example, there is the young man who dropped out of
coltge in his third year because he was not feeling up to par.
He drifted from one job to another, and finally became con-
WINGED that he had tuberculosis. Feeling that his days were
numbered anyway, he shipped out as a deckhand Ii. see as
much of the world as possible. He struggled along two years,
but the inevitable finally laid him by the heels. Then he dis
covered his horrible mistake. IL he had sought competent med
ical aid two years earlier, his ailment would have been con
sidered little more serious than AN appendicitis operation. Ev
en- now medical science may pull him through, but it win be
a long tough battle.
The wise person protects himself and his family against
financial contingencies with an intelligent program of life in
surance. Likewise, he protects his health by sane living and an
intelligent attitude toward medical advice.

Would Organize
Negro Musical Assn.

plan to organize the Natl. Negro

citation, Inc. has just been announc
ed by CASTOR o. Saunders, jr.,
former bandmaster at Roosevelt
high school, Gary, Ind. and at
Sumner high school, Kansas City,
Kas. where he formed a symphony
orchestra.
Aim of the organization is to de
velop an interest in classical in
strumental music through such
projects as music societies, a con
servatory, summer music camp,
scholarship fund, annual conferen
ce, artists and teachers placement
bureau, advisory service bureau
and official publication.
Less than one half of one per
cent of the 10000 900 boys and girls
playing in bands and orchestras
are Negroes" declared Mr.. Saun
ders. "There are around 500 posi-
tions in our schools for trained
and qualified band and orchestra
leaders, but there are probably
less than twenty five Negroes with
college degree in music with an
instrumental major such as band
and orchestra teaching and direct
ing. Every state has one or more
summer camps but Negroes may
attend only a few and then in limit
ed numbers.
"In 1889 the New York World
Fair will present a golden oppor
tunity for Negroes to exhibit their
music to the world and we should
capitalize upon it This may be
done il the association Is started
Immediately. No n knows when
such an opportunity will present
itself again and we should take

Brought Into Fold
The peasant, by nature one Of the
sturdiest individualists, had to -
brought into the fold of the INA
ton at Work"
The method by which this was
achieved is little short of genius.
The peasant, hitherto almost uni
~versally maligned for his back
wardness and awkwardness, was
told that his vas a title of true no.
bility. Owner and tiller Of the soil.
he was now to be regarded as the
all important food providing agent.
His m of honor was invoked;
economic hurdles such as debts or
insufficient price margins we1e
regulated in his favor; a working
basis was given to him, his liveli-
hood made secure In return, he
was to do his utmost to cut the ma
TONS food bill in foreign countries.
The importance given to the
peasant and the esteem enjoyed by
his state can be seen in the newly
inaugurated Thanksgiving festivals
at the Bueckeberg in Hanover.
From all parts of the Reich peas
ants come to celebrate with the
leading figures of the government.
Hitler himself never fails to attend
the festival. One may attach SYM
bolie significance to the fact that
the "Fuehrer," who has long been
known as a confirmed bachelor,
once again aroused press comment
by dancing with a peasant girl.
BY vesting the farmers position
with dignity and security. Germany
has pushed her food production to
the maximum. Thus a modern die

of the Caesars, "Bread and Cir
.cuses," provides the necessary
bread through spectacles.
