Two Young Artists
Score in Recital
By ELENA de SAYN.

Two serious young artists, Con-
stance Russell, pianist, and Juanita
Claxon, soprano, combined to give
one of the most pleasurable hours
of music at the Arts CLUB last
night. Both showed fine musician
ship, excellent training and nat
ural appreciation of music per Sc,
which found expression in interpre-
tative values. The artists were re-
uarded by enthusiastic applause,
floral tributes and several recalls
after each individual group OF num-
bers.
Miss Russell opened the program
with four short compositions: Scar
latti's Sonata in E Minor Bach's
"Jseu. Joy of Mans Desiring Da-
ouin's The Swallow" and Rameau-
Godowsky's "Tambourin." OF these,
the second and the last were most
significant. The tone quality used
in Bach's familiar number had vi
tality and a singing vibrancy, while
the poliphony in Rameau's selec-
ton. modernized by Godowsky, gave
her an opportunity to display fine
legato.
She showed less affinity with
Chopin's style, whose "Ballade In
G Minor" she essayed later. In
this, leaning somewhat more toward
the pedantic, her reading lacked
that vital note and much OF the
artistic elan which characterized
her first group and her perform
snce of Debussy's Suite" which
concluded the program. Perfectly
at home in the latter. she played
the Prelude" "Sarabande" and
"Toccata" in an easy and flowing
manner in sympathy with the best
traditions. as handed down by his
interpreters.
Supported by Theodore C. Schaef-
er at the piano, who appeared in
8 dual capacity of an artistic collab-
orator and composer, Miss ClaXon's
part of the recital was a decided
departure from the conventional.
The four songs of Eric Wolff. "Es
tst allies vie elm wunderbarer
Garten," "Knabe und Veilchen." !"
"Alle Dinge haben Sprache" and
"1ch bin so allein," proved to be
exquisite tone-poems. worthy of
many repeated hearings.
Miss Claxon has the making of
q "lieder singer" Her poise and
the quality of her work assure for
her already a place of honor. In
addition to well-trained and re-
sponsive voice of lovely timbre, the
artist displayed a perfect diction
IN all the three languages in which
she chose to sing last night. He1
emission is free and the artistic
inflexion she gave each word AND
each phrase made her presentations
distinctive.

songs by Mr.. Schaefer, enlived the
program by their effectiveness
Short, but expressive, they lent color
and contrast to Miss Claxon's offer.

STATE

Tonight marks your final op- portunity of attending the state and seeing Charles Boyer and Mar- saret sullavan In Appointment for Love" also Jane Frasee and e large comedy cast in "sing Another Cnorus."
 one Of the most unusual flllm of ferlngs in years "All That Money Can Buy" comes to the State screen tomorrow as Q film treat and a real novelty In screen entertainment. With walter Huston and Edward Arnold heading the brilliant oast, the new picture translates stephen Vincent Benet's whimsical story, '"rhe Devil and Daniel webster" to the screen in compelling fashion.
 A bargain with the devil, and ita outcome, forms tho basis of the un- usual plot. When Q young New IIaInpshire farmer of Q century ago, Jab6R Stone, is on the verge of abandoning everything because Of hard luck, the devil comes along and offers his seven years of suc- cess In return for his soul.
 Jaboz eagerly accepts, grows rich in land and property but poor in the love and respect of his family and his friends. And when tho time comes for him to keep his share of the bargain he fights against his doom, turns for help to New Eng lands great man, Daniel Webster.
 The noted orator, glad to help Q fellow farmer, comes to the rescue but finds in the devil an opponent worthy of his abilities.
 Arnold's performance aS Webster, and Huston's as his suaVe antagon- ist, are easily the best things these two favorltes have given to the screen. Their work is splendidly aid- ed by James Craig as Jahea and by Anne Shirley as his loyal wife, with Jane Darwell, Sinnone simon, Gene Lockhart, and John Qualen in iIIl- portant and deftly handled roles.
 And to further entertain you over the weekend the management proudly presents the latest in the popular detective Alm series secrets of the Lone Wolf" with Warren William in the title role.

 Miss Russell plays Cornella Por- ter, the judge who, loyal to her sex, not only grants c divorce to Mary Beth Hughes but also awards her alimony Of four thousand dollars per month. Tn desperation, the irate husband, played by Edward Ars mold, engages Pidgeon to make love to Cornelia, in the hope of involvs ing her in Q scandal. The idea is that she will lose her job, where. upon Arnold can appeal his case bee fore her successor.
 pidgeon carries out his assign. n1ent brilliantly--in fact, too brii. Aantly, for he not only makes Cor- nelia fall in love with him, but he falls in love with her as well. It Is only when Jean Rogers, originally hired to sue Corneiia for alienation of affections, comes out with the truth that the various ups-ands downs of the plot are put to order.
 Miss Russell, as the lady judge, at first glacial then melting, plays her role to the hit and affords Q laugh ct her every entrance into c scene. Pidgeon Is likewise ct his best as the ruthless Lothario who eyent- ually finds himself enineSled in the web of his own scheming.

Thursday night at Nine on NBC's Red Network means It's tune for the Kraft Music Hall and the King of Crooners, Bing Crosby, And last Thursday night as usual the show was right up there in the top brackets. Reviewing any Bing Crosby effort is q distinct pleasure, we assure you. Being a fan of long standing of the Crooner's you cap expect only the best from this type. writer.
 It is ak years since Hlng's croon- Ing was first ''cut in" on the Music Hall. At that time the program starred Pops" Paul Whiteman and emanated from New York. Bing, as Whiteman'S guest, would sing two or three of the top tunes of the day from Q Hollywood studio, then shoot the show back to ,Whitaman. But this wasn't enough for the listeners. After four broadcasta under this arrangement, Crosby was given the star spot. The KMH pro- gram is weaved around Bing's songs and his rather informal delivery of lines. Today, after six years of en. tertaining one Of the largest eve- ming audiences, it's difficult to see how the show could have done without him. The few times he has taken vacations and let others carry on in his place has made 1t apparent that he Is the main attraction. Bob Burns came and went with his Bazooka.
