THIS WEEKS

anybody you can tnlnk ol: his
band makes more than a million dollars year;
he smashes attendance records wherever he
appears - in one California dance hall he
brought in 100000 paying customers in eight
weeks; he's the nations number one band-record
salesman; last year he won AZ national popularity
polls. One good example of his standing: when
he appeared at New York theater. followers
of the rumpet-tooting Pied Piper began getting
in line - with lanterns at the ticket window
at four am, piled up so fast that police reserves
had to be called out.
Which isn't bad for a 27-year-old ex-
circus performer. Harry's mother was ira
peze artist; his father, the bandeader. At SIX,
Harry was jumping through flaming hoops. At
seven, he was billed as the worlds youngest con-
tortionist At 10, he was playing solo trumpet for
his father At H. in blue e-and-gold uniform, he
was leading the No. 2 band, the one that plays in
the street parades. By the time he was in his
teens he was tired of Sousa marches. So he set
tied for swing bands. Benny Goodman hired him
in 1886. Those were the days when B. g. was the
Pied Piper Harry sat in back row and blew.
Foresight
! HEN the world began to change; optimists
thought jitterbugging was gone. But Harry
didn't - he organized swing crew of his own
in January 1899. Goodman helped him get start
ed by investing So, 500 For over three years,
James was operating at loss. Last year he
turned the corner First one to profit was Good
man. who got $4,000 back for his original Sd 500
investment.
Then Harry profted. Now he has weekly
pay roll of $1,000 for his II musicians. His
radio shows - three week over Chs - help
that. So does his movie contract. He's already
made four movies. His last is M G. Ms
BEST Foot Forward" and Metro has signed
him to good contract. One reason is that he
looks like typical movie bandleader. He has
long wavy hair, wispy mustache, is tall - six,
one - wears well-padded, well-shaped suits.
Harry says leading band is good business
if you don't mind devoting "a hours day to it.
He says the only other things he has time to
think about are his wife and two boys - and
baseball If he has time, he goes to game or
organizes one among his men, He hired H.
year-od saxophonist principally because the kid
was wonderful shortstop. He has one other i'm
portant distinction: he is probably the only swing
bandeader around who can dance.

The statistical fact is that dudgeon
Is out of order on the score Of hold
overs. Hollywood Is making IS per
cent fewer pictures in the first half
of this year. The reduction, due to
star-power shortages, materials linn
itations and the like, has left it with
the choice of making more enduring
or better pictures or leaving holes
in the exhibitors schedule. The for
mer is difficult, Of course, but the
latter is strictly unthinkable.
So the pictures have become bet
ter as a general rule. with an oc-
casional exception. which proves
that the industry has not lost it's
highly developed talent for being
trivial and dull.

the many records the press agent

lively that you'd be foolish II you
didn't make particular note of
Mickey's form.
One venerable old school hurdler
who now trips on dandelions did
just that. He and lot of other old
and new school hurdlers are willing
to declare that Mickey's hurdling
form is as bad as his acting, finally

engagement with the presentation
of Verdi's aida" It has taken
the Washington public several sea-
sons to realize that 1t need not be
without opera, true to the best
traditions and carefully worked out
in detail, as long as the San Car
loans include this city in their
itinerary. That 1t is now fully
aware Of the value of this group
Of artists who have made the entire
country opera conscious by tours
persisting through lean as well as
fat years, was evidenced by the
crowded house last night. No op-
portunity was lost in the staging
Of the opera to take advantage of
the wealth of color which the
Egyptian setting calls for. Each
scene was as sumptuously presented
as the size of the stage would allow
and the costuming was richly Or
namental and historically correct.
Although the war toll was noticeable
In a slightly diminished chorus and
in the absence of Lucien Priedieu,
premier danseur. his partner, Lydia
Arlova, carried the solo dance
portions alone with complete success.
The beautiful silver costume which
was so startlingly effective in the
scene at the gates of Thebes was
exchanged for one less spectacular
but the danseuse retained many of
the postures which made this dance
one of the high spots of the opera.
Gives Vividness to Role.
In the title role of Aida, Verdi
has created one of the most inter-
esting characters in opera literature.
Few sopranos, however, have grasped
the full possibilities of the role as
thoroughly as has Mobley Lushanya,
who sang the part last night. The
lovely American Indian prima donna
brings to it a 1.-THE grace, in itself
difhcult for the city-born to emu
late, and gift for emotional acting.
With this combination she gives the
role vividness and freedom, placing
herself as one of the greatest
interpreters of the Ethiopian slave.
Although she gave a distinctive
stamp with her first essay of the
role, she has widened the scope of
her portrayal in every respect.
Vocally she has gained in express
siveness and in quality and histrion-
ically she has polished up every
detail. Her singing of the Nile aria
and her FIRST scene were emotionally
appealing and brought forth great
applause.

with superior skill. Miss Mayors
voice is large, free and resonant
and she uses it with taste. She
developed the character with fine
insight and with full understanding
of its dramatic possibilities. The
scene between Aida and Amners
in the second act was portrayed
thrillingly, both Miss Lushanya and
Miss Mayer reaching a dramatic
intensity that few singers attain.
Miss Mayer was somewhat less
regal than the part calls for. but
with her keen feeling for effect she
can easily remedy this lack.
