ton, while S. @. Paxton, Sacra-
mcnto, described the urgent need

Kington, Ukiah, emphasized the
necessity of using all possible ur-
ban manpower and told how school
children and city residents had
helped the harvest in the Ukiah
district.

When the bell jangles and the

open to emit numbers Of nervous

tain the movies again are up to
their venerable and .phony race

now showing at the Capitol, crudely
dashes the hopes and yearnings of
public which probably figured it
had seen the last Of flying hooves,
flxin's in the paddock and bathos

Kid" Is such as to prove that while
Hollywood sometimes abuses a for

1t is doubtful whether Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer really thought it
was hugging the rail when 1t placed

pie eventually to win the Victory
Stakes in blaze of honor. To all
appearances, the studio merely
placed Bobby Readick, a newcomer,
in that spot, and permitted him and
the others to drift along with the
horses. Youthful Mr.. Readick,
whose jockey is fresh from the
Dead-End crowd, has to be con-

right up to the home stretch. In
this he is not altogether convincing,
which only adds to the overall IA

Merson Is Brilliant
In Liszt Recital
BY ALICE EvERsMAN.

AS the piano music of Liszt Is
seldom found these days on concert
programs, Miksa Merson's choice
Of the composer for a full recital of
his works formed almost a novelty
IN the concert season. Not only was
the fiery genius of List presented
IN the selections, but also his great
responsiveness to a variety of
thought and emotion which he en-
bellished with his mastery style.
The Textile Museum, where the
recital was held, was filled with
admirers of Mr.. Merson's artistry,
which has been demonstrated often
in concert featuring composers of
different tendencies.
The forcefulness and brilliancy of
Mr., Merson's playing, whose heri-
tage Is the same as LISTS, was best
illustrated In the Sonata in B
Minor" which the artist delivered
with superb technical facility,
breadth and elan. Matching this
presentation of work of magnitude
was the "Funerailles" and the
"Rhapsodie Hongroise No. g." one
Of the type of composition practi-
cally synonymous with the name
Of List.
While one of the most dashinp
and imposing personages in musical
circles of his time, Liszt was a
strange mixture of the romantic
and worldly, and the religious.
Through the latter element OF his
nature he has left some of the most
fervent and deeply affecting works,
such As "Benediction de Dieu Dams
10 Solitude" and the Infinitely lovely
"Predication aux Oiseaux," from
Legend st. Francois d'Assise." Mr..
Mersons total clarity and musical
feeling gave full expression to the
mystical quality embodied In these
works.
LISTS more worldly side was re-
vealed In his arrangement Of Schu-
berts "Soiree de vienne," perhaps
the last composition which the
composer himself played In public,

"FTankenSteln Meets the WOl1 man,
which is such a long title that the
marqee at Keiths reads "Franken-
stein Meet Wolf Man." which sounds
like an Introduction. At any rate,
the picture opened yesterday and If
you would like to have the horrors
for a while, Keith's is good place
for it.
The horrors are not likely to be
acute because Lon CLANCY, jr., is
himself throughout most of the pic
ture. That is to say he is an amiable
fat man who just goes around wish
ing he were dead and feeling deeply
sorry for himself 1t is only on the
nights of the full moon, which are
rather rare if the script writer had
happened to think of it, that he
turns into a wolf, bursts out in a
hair shirt, snaps in his terrifying
teeth and chews people to death.
Even on those rare nights, you don't
actually see him in action very much
because a cloud always seems to be
crossing the moon and the photog-
raphy is quite dim.

In proceeding at the leisurely
pace which is characteristic of hor-
ror pictures. "Frankenstein Meets
the Wolf Man" gives you an uneasy
feeling that maybe they are not
going to meet after all and that
Universal will be quite embarrassed.
That is because it takes rather an
awfully long time for FTankenstein
to appear in the story. Pending his
appearance. the excitement is linn
tied to a couple of full moon night
performances by the wolf man in
one of which a policeman is killed,
the second marking the demise of
saloonkeeper's pretty daughter.
The meeting which is madly
sought by the wolf man who thinks
he will learn the secret of death
thereby is rather we'll imagined by
the script writer who, otherwise,
seems to have been an unimagi-
native man. He brings the two to-
gether in the ruins of an old man
sion where Frankenstein lies buried
In ice. for all the world like a
homeowner who had neglected to
convert to coal. After the wolf man
hacks him free. they are marvel
ously palsv-walsy until the final
scene in which Frankenstein, who
has been running down. gets re-
charged and starts working his old
havoc.
We won't bother you with the
details of how it comes out, but
1t cannot hurt you to know that
the ending seems to have grown out
of the production staff's weariness
with the whole thing 1t Just ends,
just like that, but not without Gre

ground for another meeting between
