Concert
Langenus Plays
Brahms Works
Exquisitely
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The third Brahms" concert at
the Library of Congress last night
introduced two unusual works for
clarinet in combination with piano
and strings. Their exceptional
beauty and loveliness were accentu-
ated by the exquisite playing OF
Gustave Langenus, clarinetist. who
is assisting the Pro Arte String
Quartet in its series.
'' The brightest star of the evening.
Mr.. Langenus gave an object lesson
in long sustained phraslng, form,
proportion and shading. Serenity
and repose, the ever-present regu-
larity of the rhythmical movement
and a perfect tone showed his de-
,cided advantage over his partners
whenever a repetition OF the same
phrases occurred.
T. That the clarinet parts in the
"Sonata in F Minor, Op. 100, No T.
for the clarinet and piano, and
"Quintet in B Minor, Op. ll5' for
clarinet and strings. were close to
Brahms heart goes without saying,
He imbued them with that spiritual
quality which characterizes his works
belonging to his last period. AS if
I looking over a life rich in friends,
devotion and artistic creation,
Brahms infuses the clarinet part
with that tenderness he himself
felt toward all those who made his
experiences worth while and helped
him to- achieve greatness.
Mr.. LangenuS has reached the point
of artistic maturity which makes him
Unconscious of the means by which
he attains his effects. In this he was
not seconded by the piano, the part
of which was in the hands of Cum
mar Johansen, nor by the strings
of the Pro Arte Quartet. The SEN
euous vehemence of the violin often
disrupted his effects, even in pas
sages which were muted.
50 In addition to the above-men-
toned works, the artists performed
Brahms String Quartet in A Minor,
Op. 81, No. 2" which was given
with good effect and found favor
with the large audience which ap-
plauded cordially and recalled the
artists several times.

ever, that the Claudia created by
young Dorothy Mcclure is a capti-

be even more so when Miss Franken

written with an accent on comedy

Next De Mile Film
Is Also an Epic

In c. B. De Miles screen "adapta-
ton of Thelma Strabels novel,
Reap the Wild Wind" two major
love stories have bloomed where
there was only one before. The De
Mile enlargement, to be filmed in
Technicolor for Paramount, makes
room for five stars instead of the
mere three that could be gotten into
the original.
Top role, which the producer
director regards as being of Acad-
emy Award caliber, is that of Loxi
Claiborne. wild-hearted daughter of
Key West, Fla, in the 1840s. Loxi
has two SuitorS-one a sWashbuckling
sea captain and the other a fighting
lawyer from Charleston.
The other romance concerns Loxis
best friend, a Spanish belle from
Havana, and the picturesque young
leader of band of wreckers, to be
played by Robert Preston. Except
for Preston and Lynne Overman
who is cast as an old shellback of
the Florida coast, the principal roles
remain untitled.

cult things in which to get sense
of dizzy movement. Miss Franken,
probably wisely, does not strain her
self in that direction. She sets her
people in the living room of a Con-
necticut farmhouse and allows
them to talk engagingly enough to
obscure the fact that there Is not
much room for action.
The lesser people in claudia"
turn out also to be a rather pleas
ant lot whose small talk, like
Claudia'S, sometimes masks what
amounts to a profundity. They in
clude, and nearly always reasonably,
a family amoral literary gent OF
impressive physical appearance, a
pair of engaging servants who give
off an aura of earthly warmth, a
visiting Sister-in-law and her COM
panion, a voluptuous opera singer
with a pronenesS toward egomania
and that other mania of artistic
females.
IL
duce Miss MCGUIRE in her first major
role in the theater. Claudia would
almost have justified itself. 1t is
rather a prodigiouS task Miss Nc
Guire, a pug-noSed blond beauty,
undertakes in animating the candid,
fumbling, nitWittiShly wise Claudia.
She brings it off with what passes
for perfect conception of the part
so far as this department is con-
cerned. The prospect of her imme-
diate return from the wings is
enough to hold one even in the more
Wordy areas of the play.
In the role of the mother, Wash
ington'S Frances Starr returns again
to the stage to demonstrate that
residence in this former tropic cam
lot tarnish her bright talent. An
other good performance is that of
Donald Cook in the part Of the
wise, tender but not too sentimental
young husband. Others who leave
their imprint are Olga Backlanova
