mittee of the National Symphony
was host and the use of the pictur-
esque salon of Dumbarton Oaks was
| through the courtesy of Harvard
University.
Nine. Maximovitch, whose simple,
| unaffected manner was in marked
contrast to her evident operate
training, gave varied program
which called for the maximum in
emotional Interpretation. This is,
in fact, Nine. Maximovitch's spe-
cial talent, to which her powerful
voice lends itself easily in the small
est infection. The numbers were
for the greater part unfamiliar ones
but chosen with discrimination and
with understanding of their musical
interest.
While the two arias Air de Liza :"
from Debussy's The Prodigal Son"
and Fanny's aria from Massenets
"Sapho' were brilliantly executed
with great dramatic effect, in many
OF the songs the artist surpassed
herself In the degree of coloring and
intensity she brought to them.
Particularly notable in this respect
was the group of songs by Nor
wegian composers which suited Nine.
Maximovitch especially well both
vocally and temperamentally. Among
these were Grieg's DO You Know
the Song" Hjarulf's Nightingale, :"
Almaes' True Happiness" and
Harold Lies The Letter Out of the
Darkness" written for Nine. Maxim
ovitch.
In a group of songs by American
composers, Mary Howe's "Zuleikha"
headed the list and proved to be one
OF the most interesting of Mrs.
Howe's noteworthy song output. To
the German text she has written
a setting that sustains the story of
the poem with atmospheric effect
and offers occasion for vocal color
ing which Nine. Maximovitch
utilized to the fullest. The COM
poser, who was present, and the
singer were enthusiastically ac-
claimed. Mrs. Howe is chairman
OF the local womens committee.
Three songs rarely programmed
were fine examples of song writing
and included Ernst Bacons ITS all
have" Barber's The Nun" and
Critics Lament of Ian the Proud" >"
The musicale finished with three
numbers sung in Russian. Rach-
maninoff's Soldiers Bride" and
Moussorgsky's "Childrens Songs"

ence's attention to the very end and

erty, whose Accomplishments were

out of immediacy again. Mr.. Myer-

Second, he was busy with a physical

to the production of plays. He
went away, and he has been away
for many months. On the way to
getting well he has deliberated on
many things The more he did 50,
the more Art and Prudence" ap-
pealed to him as something to be
done when doing-instead of getting
well-became the order of his day
again.
Art and Prudence" still further
changed will be done next season.
1t will be Mr. Myerberg's first pro-
duction OF the year, and he is al
ready occupied with the preliminary
steps.
1t seems very intelligent of him.
Mr.. Kerr's highly amusing play
is sane, intelligent mans reactions
to the antics OF that maniacel
fringe OF the theater which goes
into it for self-expression without
having anything to express. It's the
sort of thing one finds In drama
schools run by non-creative directors
for non-creative actors. 1t is peopled
with born illustrates, whose attempts
to unmake themselves are the es-
sence of the absurd. Mr.. Kerr looks
upon them with an amused and
tolerant, and even pitying eye.
From this perspective, he sees
them in terms of such sanity that
those outside the theater cannot
but be pleased Those inside should
be even more pleased that so whole
some, cleansing and amusing a play
could be written about condition
that is worse than ridiculous in that
it sometimes amounts to a racket.

Among the lesser problems Of the
q problem-is what to do about the
all-star pictures. In a period of
doing things on a big scale the
occasional picture assemblies all the
big names in Hollywood. or at least
in one studio, in single cast. Then
the trouble begins.
The trouble is inherent in the
contracts of the players, which speci-
fy what type Of billing the players
should get. Whether their names !
shall go above the pictures title !
or below it, and what size type shall |
be used in relation to that OF the
pictures title and the players who |
appear below the title is a matter |
Of contractual agreement. It works |
out with no more than discomfort !
when picture has merely a couple |
of stars. When it has. say four, the !
discomfort becomes acute. When it
has more than that, there probably
will be to pay.
A chap to pity is the fellow who
finds himself on the 16-horned, or

He must dispose of virtually all OF

Hope, Fred MacMurray, Franchot

Dorothy Lamour, Paulette Goddard,
Vera Zorina, Mary Martin, Dick
Powell, Betty Hutton, Eddie Brack-

Rochester. The fellow should be
worn out at that point, but every
man is expected to do much more
than his duty. So he must. go on
