We knew there was something

Key West, maybe it is its mental

About mental standards, we
visited a girl in a sanitarium for
mental patients once She was
very gleeful on this particular
day. Il want you to take a good
look at the patient in the room
next to mine, she said. We went
down the hall to the porch and
back again so that we could get
two looks at the man. He was
a nice looking chap, dressed in
white linens, about 40 years old.
we guessed.
When we got back to her room
she explained. Il thought you'd
appreciate the irony of his being
here in this place for treatment.
Do you know who he is?' We
had never seen him before and
did not know him. Well, she
told us laughingly, 'He is one of
the medical examiners at Chatta-

what a Life
Is Staged at .
Cross Roads
And Henry Aldrich
Still Has Trouble
Hilariously
By HARRY MACARTHUR.


There is one thing which must
be said of comedies of the George
Abbott school when some future
historian sets down a report on
the theater of the Goth century.
Comedies which have been through
Mr.. Abbott's Broadway laugh mill
emerge practically foolproof. prob
ably because the maestro of mirth
always has an eye toward road
companies, If you are seeking a
reason. Take Clifford Goldsmith s
What a Life" that recent Abbott
success, for instance, and you can
take it even more than once, be-
cause it is very gay farce. 1t
still remains very gay farce at
the Cross Roads Theater this fort
night just begun, even in spite of
what had best be called self-con-
scious playing on the part of GER
tain members of the cast.
Hardly any one needs to be told.
Of course, that the tribulations
descended upon poor Henry Aldrich
by Mr.. Goldsmith in this play that
was the beginning of a series Of
many trials for Henry make for a
virtually continuous hubbub of hilar-
ity. 1t is all good, clean fun, too,
as Henry has his troubles-with
his high school principal, his teach
ers, his mother, his girl friend and
finally the law.

vivaciouS was Rita, how talented Ed.
So they were offered picture jobs.
The Oehmans said yes, as who
doesn't?
They split up as a team during
their brief, unexciting picture ca
reers. Rita, who heretofore had
seen horses through train windows
and attached to milk wagons, went
into westerns. George OBrien was
the cowboy in the same films. Rita
didn't mind Westerns. not particu-
larly. She just disliked the long
waits between takes, that period of
doing nothing while the technicians
were setting up the machinery for
the next shot. 1t was dislike that
carried over even into her one other
kind of picture. Careless" in which
she appeared with Ginger Rogers.
While Rita was decorating the
lone prairie. Ed was lending his tall
ents to one of the Little Tough
Guy" series and an item called
Hollywood Stadium Mystery" the
latter a fine candidate for the
darkest corner of oblivion.
With this sum total of pictures
behind them, the Oehmans got to
thinking how nice it would be to be
dancing and singing and moving
around the country that didn't ap-
pear on the map of California. The
idea so appealed to them that they
walked out of sseven-room house,
leaving their furniture to the next
tenants, the dry rot or whatever
came along. They don't know what
became of it.
The loss has not affected the
blitheness of their spirits in the
least.
In addition to Hollywood, the
Oehmans are prepared to speak on
several other subjects with an en-
gaging articulateness. One of the
lot is education. They don't feel that
being professionals is any excuse
for not going to school. Between
going on the stage at the age Of
virtually zero-as amateurs in Chi
cago-and being on the stage still,
vivacious Rita has managed to be
graduated by the Chicago School
of Drama and complete three years
at Mundelein College. Ed went to
normal school, though he doesn't
know why, since it has something
to do with teaching, and he never
really thought of being a teacher.
The schedule during school terms
called for only night club and thea
ter engagements at night, full time
during summer vacations.
Their keenness for show business
manifested itself early in the still
comparatively new lives of the Och
mans. Their Irish mother taught
them music and dancing. First
practical use they made of their
skills was in amateur contests.
They bowled over the opposition
right and left as a team that could
sing or dance anything that hap
pened to come along.
1t was a canny streak in them
that first broke them up as a team.
Contemplating their success one
day, they decided they could double
it by doing two singles instead of
a team act. They tried out the
theory and it worked. Once past
the amateur nights, however. they
Evening star., 1940-08-13

went back to being a teari. They
have been one ever since.
Being too young and far too wise
to have messages to give to the
public, there is only one thing the
Oehmans really would like to 60
on record as saying. To assuage
the curiosity of audiences on whom
they have eavesdropped during the
acts quiet moments, they'd like to
say the tan on Rita's legs is honest.
Dancing is hard on stockings, so
it was economical to develop the
tan. She did 1t while convalescing
from a tonsilectomy, thus turning an
illness to a practical advantage.

r. Hellbach
Is HOnOred
BY Concert
Agriculture Units
Flutist to Leave;
Plays Again Tonight
BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

Members of the Department OF
Agriculture Orchestra interrupted
their summer leisure last evening to
honor one Of their co-musicians with
a concert in the department audi
torium. The transfer of Rudolf
Hellbach, flutist of the orchestra, to
Philadelphia offered the occasion to
present him with public perform
ance by the group with which he
has been identified since its begin
ming. DR.. Walter Bauer, conductor
of the orchestra, made few remarks
about Mr.. Hellbach's work before the
opening Of the program, describing
him as one of the "unsung heroes. u
The program gave opportunity to
hear compositions all too rarely
played, procedure that has become
the policy of this fine orchestra
of amateurs and its progressive
director Beginning with Rimsky-
KorSakoff's Russian Easter Over
ture," the time preceding the inter-
mission was further devoted to
Delius' "Irmelin" and Hadley's The
Culprit Fay" The remainder of the
concert period was given over to
Brahms symphony No. T."
As regards spirit. intonation and
dynamics, the orchestra gave the
best account Of itself in yesterday s
performance Its gain in the finer
aspects of technique and interpreta-
ton has been marked this past year
and the result was most noteworthy
in this program. The concert mas
ter and the first cellist played the
solo measure allotted to them in the
Russian Easter Overture" with ex-
cellent effect, and throughout the
different numbers, the entire orches-
ira was on the qui vive to carry out
the artistic objective of the con-
ductor.
The gay, festive spirit of Rimsky-
Korsakoff's portrayal of Easter in
old Russia was yividly recreated in
the reading of DR.. Bauer. With the
brass section bearing the burden of
the declamatory themes, the con-
trasting mellow passages of the
strings give the proper religious at
mosphere that is announced by the
hymn tunes of the beginning. The
richness Of orchestral color is Law
ishly called upon in the finale with
thrilling effect. Delius, on the con-
trary, in his "Irmelin" sets the mood
by means Of the woodwinds with an
ethereal beauty and iridescence
that savors somewhat Of Debussy in
his suavest moments.
Less finely written but descriptive
in his adherence to the idea of
Joseph Rodman brakes poem, is
Hadley's THE Culprit Fay" Thirty
years ago the composer won a sub
stantial cash prize from the Fedora
ton of Music Clubs with this work
but its acceptance into the orchestral
repertoire has not been general.
The orchestra played it with atten-
ton to details, Of which there are
many. The charm and brightness
