Amateurs Do Well
TchekOf.

X MNERT WOLFF. who would be
the new director Of drama at the
King-Smith Studios, didn't mess
around, as the saying goes, when he
set about choosing the first play to be
presented under his tutelage. He
picked Uncle Vanya," a piece by An
ton Tchekoff. Mr.. Tchekon never was
one to turn out fiuf1y little items for
the stage. He likes to place his head
between his hands and moan about
the state Of the world or, more par
ticularly, Of the people who populate
1t. It is gratifying, therefore, to be
able to report that Mr.. VOLTS young
charges did very we'll with "Uncle
Vanya."
Arthur Greenfield presented an
authentic character study Of the all
ing, ever-grumbling professor. Albeit
his task was not the most complex of
the evening, he displayed the most
spontaneity. In such a role, ebullience
might be more readily communicable
than in the others of the play. but Mr..
Greenfield was effective, undeniably.
Stately Austine Mcdonnell proved
adequate to the part of the learned
ones young and beautiful wife (both
in talent and appearance). She pro-
jected this devoted but unhappy wom-
an in convincing fashion. Arthur De
HUFF was assigned the title role Of the
brother Of the professors first wife
who Is in love with his second. Mr..
De HUFF seemed to be unhappy, but
not SO consumingly unhappy as the
author would have liked.
Barbara Ann Thompson was ap-
pealing in an appealing part, that Of
the professors daughter by the first
marriage. In love with the doctor who
loves no one and feels that he never

with comr11endable balance as the

Conduit Road Citizens to Seek

The association favored a motion

Two Give Concert
To Aid Memorial.

THE concert last night at the Ra-
- leigh Hotel, held for the benefit of
the Marconi Memorial under the Con-
ti-Berenguer management, was an oc-
casion to hear once more Angelo
Pilotto. baritone Of the Chicago Opera,
and CleGa Fioravanti, Washington
n1ezZo-soprano.
The program was opened by Mr..
Photo, who chose three arias and
three groups of songs by italian COM
posers. His selections were "Quella
Fiama," by Marcello; Come Raggio
di SOL" Cadara; LA Danza," Rossini;
prologue" from "Pagliacci'; II Vo-
lotario," Brogi: ''Galoppa, Morello," i"
Quaranta; "Eri Tu," from "Un Ballo
IN Maschera," Verdi; LA Partita,"
Alvarez; "El Guitarrico." Soriano;
''Nebbie," Respighi, and Largo Fac
totum," from "Barbiere di Siviglia.'
Miss Fioravanti sang French and
italian and also included an Ameri-
Gan song into her two groups. which
consisted of the following numbers:
lie Rien d'Amour," Spontini; Dune
Prison" Hahn; La Bas Dams la Mon
tagne." from Carmen; "visione ven-
eziana," Brogi; Bella Porta di Ru-
bini," Respighi; "Stonello," Cimara,
and the Big Brown Bear" by Man
yucca.
Mr.. Photo, who has been heard
here to better advantage in opera last
fall at Constitution Hall, was not in
good form last night. His tendency
to flatten, noticed in his previous per-
formance here, was very obvious
throughout the program. He seemed
Ill at ease and even the operatic arias
suffered from his inability to lift his
voice to the required pitch. "Galoppa,
Morello" showed better voice place.
ment and was enjoyable. Mr.. Pilotto
was encored after the aria from YER
dis "Un Ballo in Maschera."
With serious outlook on her art,
Miss Fioravanti shows a steady
growth and improvement. Still con-
scious of her tone production, which
hinders her from fully projecting her
personality in her music, Miss Flora
vanti sings with good taste and finish.
Her voice, if not of wide range, has
warmth and evenness of tone. An
adequate piano accompaniment would
have added brilliancy to her perform
ance and would have enabled her to
lose some of her consciousness.
She scored well-deserved success
and responded with 20, Mic Babino, l"
by Pucini, as an encore.
Nation Boyce of Washington, who
acted as accompanist to Mr.. Pilotto
furnished an excellent aid to the sing

Sounds like crazy talk coming from
q man who lives by laying words be-

Mr.. Burroughs came to his pre-
eminence by much more devious
method than going without haircuts
and dramatizing himself into the
character of bewildered dreamer.
Instead, he started out to be a boss
soldier by heading for West Point.
He got there all right, but they had
a scholarship standard higher than
his own, so he did not stay. It was
an amicable parting with no regrets on
either side. Afterward Mr. Burroughs
tried cattle raising in Idaho, but
that was no better than soldering, so
he moved into Pocatello and became
one of the towns stationers. That was
better, but not perfect, and eventually
the man with TarZan in his heart

Burroughs writes, the answer is

knows. He does not take notes, make
charts, sketch characters or any of

Mrs. Henry Messerschmidt, wife of the City Councilman, wears life preservers when she goes for rides in fast outboard motorboats and she gets thrown from such craft without so much as getting her hair wet
 It happened yesterday when Dan Russell called in at Marmion Island and began taking the women of a picnic party, out for rides in turn. When Mrs. Messerschmidt was of fered her chance for a thrill, she donned life preserver.
 Russell let the motor out" and clipped along at 25 miles an hour until he hit a tricky swell thrown up by the fisheries vessel Brant- and turned over. Mrs. Messer- schmidt and Russell were both thrown clear of the craft.
 "Prettiest takeoff I ever saw!" Russell commented in describing Mrs. N1esserschmidt's flight
 And I didn't even get my hair wet!' Mrs. Messerschmidt said to- day, pointing to permanent wave curls that survived as though they had never been near a salt water bath
 Both Mrs. Messerschmidt and Russell were in the water for about 25 minutes they said, before the Brant had turned around and pisk- ed them up to bring them on into Juneau.
