vt Is a very difficult thing to write
about Nelson Eddy recital for
there still rings In the ear the
4 small shrieks Of delight when
another favorite song was added to the
formal program and before the eye Is
the picture Of the entranced faces Of
his fans" taking In more, perhaps, his
well-groomed appearance than the
worthwhile selections which he offered
yesterday. Coming for his annual song
visit to Constitution Hall, the popular
singers recital closed this seasons
series by the Dorothy Hodgkin Dorsey
Bureau yesterday afternoon.
Were one to Judge exclusively from
the reaction OF the audience, which
left no available space vacant in the
hall or on the stage, the recital was
an overwhelming success. There were
10 programmed numbers and 10 en-
cores, not nearly enough singing by
Mr.. Eddy, however, to satisfy the
seemingly inexhaustible capacity for
listening by his audience. 1t enjoyed
his serious program, but when he be-
gan trying to give all the requested
encores, the enthusiasm rose in pro-
portion to the familiarity of the song.
And the artist himself seemed to enjoy
singing them and obligingly chose
just what every one wanted most to
hear.
1t is interesting to note the progress
which Mr.. Eddy has made in the art
OF recital giving since his first venture
in that field. He has developed HIM
self seriously toward this end and yes
terday gave program free from the
hackneyed, and demanding much Of
the interpreter. He met the test fully,
using his splendid voice with artistic
restraint and with full cognizance of
the requirements Of style. His superb
breath control and finely developed
resonance permit him long sweep of
phrase and ringing volume of tone
And most noteworthy of all is his
excellent enunciation so perfectly clear
in all the languages in which he sang
and giving correct value to every vowel
and consonant.
X
HOWEVER, Mr.. Eddy was not in the
best of voice yesterday and one
felt the exertion which the high tones
cost him and a dullness of quality at
moments, which is the toll which
hard seasons work takes from the
finest vocal organ. He has his technical
faults, too, such as attacking tone
from below and bringing pressure to
bear on the flow of sound which re-
duces the brilliancy with which at
other times his voice is so lavishly
endowed.
His finest singing was done in the
opening number, the air Good Eel
lows, Be Merry" from Bachs Peasant

Cantata," and in "An jenem Tag"
from. Marschner's "Hans Heiling":: the
"Promesse de mon avenir," from Mas
senets lie Roi de Lahore" and
Clarke's 'The Blind Ploughman." In
these his voice was opulent and free
and his singing marked by mobility
and artistic polish. Other numbers of
interest as Mr.. Eddy presented them
were Schubert's "Staendchen," VOLTS
"Erists," Legrenzi,s "Che f1ero cos
tune" Tosti's "Ricordati di me-" Car
penter's Her Voice" and Michael
Heads my Sword for the King"
A greater expansiveness was given
the artist in his encores some Of which
he embellished with little tricks of
expression and others in which he
allowed the legato flow Of his voice to
be warmed by beauty Of sentiment.
In the former category were the anus
ing song of the suffering Wenzel of
Smetana's opera, THE Bartered
Bride" Thomas "Au Pays" Nous
sorgsky's "Child's Evening Prayer"
and the ever popular "Chumley Fair"
Into these he injected many nuances
which enhanced the comedy of the
text. For pure lyric singing, beauti-
fully delivered, Erich VOLTS "Du bist
so jung" was outstanding with Drink
to Me Only With Thine Eyes" close
second. The remainder of the encores
were songs from his screen successes,
rapturously hailed by his delighted
listeners.

were played from memory by Theodore
Paxton, who also was warmly ap-
plauded for his fine presentation of

ers all afternoon and far into the
night, and once or twice the S. R. o.

to the memory of Rudolph Valentino,
the Littles current attraction being
a revival of "Son of the Shiek." the
last Aim Rudy made, if the memory
isn't going back on us.
The cinema has grown up consider
ably in the dozen years which have

not dimmed the luster Of the Valen-

screen still has what Russian friend

audience appeared to be signing those
sighs the gals sighed back in the
l920s when Mr.. V. took lass in his
arms in a manner which indicated
she would stay right there until he
chose to let her go.

The story technique is bit on the

Fairbanks, jr. It sought the right
director, who is Henry Roster, the
director rated as responsible for
Deanna Durbin's success. It insisted
upon the right story and figured that
the best two scribblers for the job
were Bruce Manning and Felix Jack
son. who also have had their large bit
to contribute to Deanna's success.
But it is not always possible to get
Fairbanks, Rosters, Mannings and
Jacksons just when you want them.
They might be busy. In this case, they
were busy. So Universal waited, Just
as if it we're Samuel Goldwyn and
Miss Darrieux were Anna Sten; the
most famous and costly venture in
Americanization in Hollywood's fables
of failure.
In the meantime, Miss Darrieux
was not allowed to languish beside a
swimming pool contemplating wist-
fully the difference between Holly
woods monotonous climate and the
whimsical weather of her native
Paris. Demonstrably able to act
better than a vast majority of her
cinema rivals, speaking English supe-
rior to that of many of Hollywood's S
richest film magnates, she needed no
coaching in these subjects. But there
were other things for her to do, such
as having her picture taken regularly
for publicity purposes, learning how
they make movies in this country and
familiarizing herself with American
cooking, customs and income tax
blanks.
For six months, at a reported salary
Of $4,000 for the interval, Miss Dar-
rieux did these things, breaking the
monotony of it all by attending foot
ball, polo, basket ball and other
games. At the end Of that time. Uni
versal had everything in readiness,
script, director, cast and Miss Dar-
rieux. 1t went promptly, earnestly and
confidently to work on THE Rage of
Paris"
And now there is nothing to do but
sit back and wait for the result.
DEN ATWELL wears Windsor ties.
For all we know, he is the last
customer of the Windsor tie industry,
maybe keeping it alive single-handed.
At the moment, the money which he
spends on Windsor ties comes from
the Shuberts, producers Of the Three
Waltzes," which Mr.. AtTell represents
as press agent.
But it is not the fact that he wears
Windsor ties which brings up the sub
ject of Mr. Atwell here today. Rather
1t is because he surprised us. We al
ways thought Mr.. Atwell, whose stage
history goes back to gas footlights and
the miracles of David Belasco, was
completely unaware of the movies
Unlike most theater press agents, who
will snort, grow blasphemous and seize
the very mention of its name as an
excuse to have another chocolate milk
shake, Mr.. Atwell just never seems
to be there when any one says Holly
wood"
That is. he seemed to be like that
until today. A discussion of the
Three Waltzes" brings out the fact
that Mr.. Atwell has known about the
place all the time.
''Ha,' he harumphs, "all this talk
about the movies stealing talent from
Broadway. Look at u.s. Where did
we get Michael Bartlett? Where Kitty
Carlisle? They are our leads, and
when they had chance to get back
on the legitimate stage in suitable
parts what did they tell Hollywood"
We did not tell Mr. Atwell, but We'll
