Mary Ida Bowen, soprano, and
ElWood Gary, tenor.
The only work on the program
not by an American was Overture
to an Italian Comedy" by Arthur
Benjamin. whose Suite of Dance
Tunes" was played by Sir Ernest
Macmillan Wednesday. A Stephen
Foster Fantasy" by Already Dubensky
showed how splendidly these i'm
perishable melodies lend themselves
to a broader treatment. Dubensky
is Russian born and educated but
has lived in New York for more than
20 years where he has been In the
violin ranks of the Philharmonic
Symphony Orchestra. He has taken
the simple Foster melodies and
dressed them up in symphonic garb,
even introducing a violin cadenza
resembling somewhat that of the
Mendelssohn concerto but all in a
manner to expand the native
quality.
Herbert's American Fantasy"
and americana" composed of Nc
Brides "Fugato on a well-known
theme Guion's Turkey in the
Straw" Lecuona's "Andalucia, +"
Gould's "Pavane" and Cailliet's
Pop Goes the Weasel" were also
programmed for the orchestra.
Mr. Gary was the first of the solo,
lists to appear and his fine, ringing
voice was heard effectively in the
Herbert numbers, Thine Alone"
from Eileen and I'm Falling in
Love with Someone" from Naughty
Marietta" The clear, sweet soprano
of Miss Bowen is especially we'll
suited to the italian Street Song"
also from Naughty Marietta" and
When You're Away" from "The
Only Girl" The two artists COM
bined in the duets, "Moonbeams"
from 'The Red Mill" and ITO the
Land Of My Own Romance" from
THE Enchantress, winning en-
thusiastic applause for their ex-
cellent performance.
The concert concluded with "Sa-
Lutte to Our Fighting Men by Bodge,
stirring medley of service tunes,
that rounded out program
thoroughly American in character.

of how so funny fellow as Perel-
man was not very funny on this
occasion. The play died quickly
after that and others came and
went, old wounds gave place to new
and Night Before Christmas
was forgotten.
Warner Bros, however, have
brought it up again, this time as
Larceny, Inc" with Edward G.
Robinson in the central role. The
report must be as it was before,
that the Perelman story, whimsy
that sounds fine, comes off as
something extremely tiresome. 1t
is a surprising thing, too, consider
ing the enormity of the outlaws
that the mere Perelman words have
been able to produce in every other
instance in which one ran across
them.
Quite contrast is the mood of
the stage show, sort of tabloid
rodeo or roundup, featuring Roy
Rogers of the Republic Pictures
range and his horse, Trigger. They
are a novel pair to find on the stage

of the Earle, Rogers with his guitar
and his cowboy lullabies, Trigger
with his tricks and his Palomino
coloring. Like a refreshing breeze
from the prairie, you might say.
Larceny, Inc" to come back to
it in easy stages, is none of Warmers
stock melodramas with Robinson in
the principal role. On the con-
trary it is a sentimental sort OF
farce with a plot that really ought
to make something funny.
The three principal figures are
we'll conceived comic fellows. There's
Robinson, a quick talking. lamb
like head of criminal gang that
wants to rob one more bank so
they can get enough money to buy
a dog track in Florida and go
straight. His co-innocents are a
gorilla-like moron played by Brode-
rick Crawford and a dame chasing
gent impersonated by Edward Bro
ply. Their doctrine is one of non-
violence. They want to harm no
one, having grown out of their
nitroglycerin. dynamite and gun
phases. What do they do, then.
but buy a luggage shop next to the
bank and set to work tunneling
their way quietly into the latter's
vaults.
With those people, plus few
others equally harmless, and that
situation, it would seem that the
Perelmans had the makings of a
good piece of farce.
What eventuates is just an end
less bit of digging, interrupted by
such slapstick developments as
broken water mains, perforated oil
tanks which leads the gang to think
it has struck a gusher, and other
strictly standard gags. The Perel-
mans, of course, are a pair of writ
ers to put some laughable words
into the mouths of their puppets
and there are many moments to be
grateful for that in the course of
Larceny, Inc"
That's about all there is to be
grateful for, however.
X X X Z.
Rogers, the cowboy idol of the
American boy, is surrounded by a
stage show lacking only the sage
brush to give it the flavor of a
Western picture. He himself spe-
cializes in a few vocal numbers, an
exhibition of Triggers intelligence
and dancing skill, and the usual
patter of movie personalities about
their particular phase of the art.
Preceding him on the program are
Dancers Rollo and Verna Pickert,
a pair of silt performers, and an
other dancing pair, Nash and Ev-
ans, whose dancing is better-and
much better taste-than the badi-
mage which Nash indulges between
steps. There also are few prairie
madrigals by the Boys of the Purple
Sage and couple of impressive,
atmospheric routines by the Roxy
cites.
It's different as stage shows go.

]. c. Penney Company's Response
To Its Million Dollar Quota

The ]. C. Penney Company's 1909
stores, whose per cent July quota
for War Stamps and Bond Sales was
$1,2OO,00O.OO, turned in the stagger-
ing total of $8,422, 553.85-or almost
Is per cent of its merchandise sales!
To realize what this figure stands
for in actual war material, this sum
will buy one destroyer plus one sub
marine plus 100 Army fighter planes
plus SO light tanks!
The Importance of this achievement
was acknowledged by a telegram of
commentator from Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau, who took par
ticular note of the tremendous scope
of the Company-wide publicity pro
gram which made these results pos

sible.
The largest amount in War Stamps
and Bonds were sold by store which
is by no means one of the Company's
largest-Ya Yakima, Washington, where
S166, $685. worth moved over the
stores counters into the purses and
pockets of thrifty American patriots.
From all over the country came
stories of the energetic competition
between stores and states and dis
tricts. Penney employees made it
their chief concern to sell Bond and
Stamps-and they sold them with
might and main, to customers, friends
and everybody else who came within
range of these super-salesmen and
women.

OPPOSES SALES TAX

I have always been opposed 10

right. But when il comes TO plsc-

But in all frankness I must tell
you that the sentiment in Con-
gress, and believe over the coun-
try. is moving strongly toward inn
position of a general retail sales
tax.
There may be no other way OF
meeting these enormous war ex-
penditures. II a sales tax really

A TOUGH PROBLEM

To raise $4,000, 100000 a year

The problem is a tough one
