the picture of the same name, was
virtually unknown in Hollywood al
possessed of singing and dancing
talents. She said and demonstrated
that she was a dramatic actress
when Warner Bros. hired her. That
she did not mention her further
talents was due to the circumstance
that musicals were in disrepute at
the moment, the public having
grown weary even of those which
Ginger Rogers starred in.
Her silence on the subject did not
alter the fact that Miss Leslie was
an old hand, for one so young, at
the song and dance aspects OF her
art. She earned her first money
practicing both at the age of 5, a
fact OF which Warner Bros. re-
manned In blissful ignorance until
1t was looking for girl to dance
with Jimmy Cagney In Yankee
Doodle Dandy" Miss Leslie sur
prised the wits out of her bosses by
confessing that dancing was one OF
her concealed talents. It tested her,
the skeptical thing, found out that
she really was good-as also was
Cagney, an old hoofer and singer
himself gave her the job.
Now in giving her the Marilyn
Miller role. it probably will make the
public forget that she was q dra-
matte actress before she was a sing
er and dancer.
Those overly talented people are
20 hard to keep up with.
The what-are-they- doing nov de-
partment rarely has had q bigger
surprise to reveal than the fact
that Katharine Cornell is readying
the kit Cornell Jamboree" for
presentation tomorrow night at the
high school auditorium, Vinyard
Haven, Mass.
The Kit Cornell Jamboree" is
Miss Cornell's own idea. She, her
husband, Guthrie McClintic, and
several other well-known theater
people will take part in the per-
formance, a variety show staged for
servicemen stationed In the vicinity,
the proceeds to 60 to the USO.
Miss Cornell is paying the entire
expenses of the production, rs well
as corraling the the talent and
participating in the performance

University Trio
Gives Classical
Starlight Program
Forks of Mozart
And Schubert
Are Presented
By ELENA DE SAYN.

The starlight series at Meridian
Hill Park, in its 14th concert this
season, presented last night the
University Trio-Antonio Brosa, vio-
lin; 6. Warwick Evans, cello, and
Gunnar Johansen, piano, who de-
lighted their audience with = we'll
chosen classical program.
Beginning with Mozart's Trio in
E Major, K. v. 542," the players 1t
once established the balance Of the
instruments, bringing out and
stressing the beauty Of the canti-
lena in which the composition
abounds, notable also for its con-
summate technical finish despite
the make-belief casualty Of the
pattern. It was in this number
that Mr.. Evans drew for the first
time last night the most ingratiat-
ing tone from his cello, followed
later by an inspired reading Of
Schubert's Trio in B Major op. o."
Since Mozart was Schubert'sp IA
vorite' composer, the transition to his
work, second on the program, was q
natural one. Justly named "the
most poetic musician ever, he gave
full evidence Of his particular abil-
ity to commit. his innermost
thoughts and feelings to paper. But
as all composers are at the mercy
Of their interpreters, 1t requires SEN
sitive musicians to penetrate . COM
poser'S intentions, and it was due
to the superb artistry OF the trio
that Schubert's opus was aglow
with q richness and warmth, pour
Ing forth from an inexhaustible
source.
At each return Of the themes,
in this or the other instrument, it
was always renewed pleasure to
appreciate the individual accom-
plishment of each Of the artists.
Mr.. Johansen's fleetness of fingers
wss matched by his lusciousness Of
tone, while playing q trio seemed
a bit more natural to Mr.. Brosa
than playing string quartet. Here
he could forge ahead, or linger on
some lovely passage without the
restraint often imposed by the quar-
tet form and could match his per-
sonality to that Of the composer
with greater freedom. OF the four
movements of Schubert's compo-
sition the first two were the most
beautiful, the lengthy "Scherzo" Of
the third, with its many repeti-
tions of the theme, creating some
thing of an anticlimax. Brahms
&C Major Trio, op. ST. was the clos
ing number Of one OF the out.
standing programs Of the season.
