Gives them a chool-teacherish ap-
pearance, they claim. Several years
ago a pretty, young English girl,
under contract and playing featured
roles, was called into an executives S
office and urged to put away the
glasses she used for a very good pur-
pose-to see things. The girl pro-
tested mildly. then took off the
glasses, put them in her purse and
left the tycoons presence. A mo-
ment later she missed the first step
OF the stairway leading down from
his office, plunged all the way and
broke her leg. Her option was not
picked up.
Brenda Joyce is the only feminine
star we know who ever wore glasses
on the screen. She did SO in the
last picture made before retiring
Tor motherhood. She was attractive
IN her specs, too, but the optical
statesmen were the only ones who
really applauded. They put Brenda's
picture in their catalogues and made
her their No. pin-up girl.

Recital Opens
|Oraan Festival
By ELENA de SAYN.

The annual spring festival of
organ music, sponsored by the Dis
trict of Columbia Chapter of the
American Guild of Organists, began
last night with a recital by Charles
Henderson, organist from Pitts
burgh, at the Washington Chapel of
the Church of Jesus Christ of Lat
ter Day Saints. In the course of
years this organization has done a
great deal to create and to uphold
interest in organ literature and to
|acquaint the Washington public with
many organists from different parts
of this country.
Mr.. Henderson began his recital
with a group of classical numbers
which included Handel's prelude
and Fugue in F Minor" Rathge-
ber's Aria Pastorella," Martins
Aria con Variazioni," Fiocco's
"Adagio" and allegro" from Han
del's Concerto No. "" Those who
missed the first part of the concert
had difficulty in judging Mr.. Hen
derson,s ability until the very last
number on the program, Farnam's
''Toccata" on ''Filii st Filiae," the
selection preceding it being more OF
less of the monotonous same type
limited to the middle and uppel
registers Of the organ, Vivaldi's
presto" excepted.
In the latter, and especially in the
''Toccata," Mr.. Henderson displayed
a fluent finger technique and ap.
peared to have also a good contro
of the deeper voices equal to the
demands of the compositions. Since
organ is the only instrument which
can give complete illusion of ar
orchestra, possesses power, range
and tone color, it seems a pity not te
avail oneself of all it's resources anc
to reduce it to the level of mere
harmonium.
The selections in the second ane
third groups of the program were

would have pleased the Emperor
Franz Josef. The solitary drawback
to the glitter of the evening is that
the book lends itself to moderniza-
ton about as readily as the Schon-
brun, a defect which the producers
were more willing to overlook than
many others who invest their money
i'll the project are likely to do. The
latter may have an occasionally
acute sense that a lot of beautiful
music is being wasted on some
people who carry on in a very silly
way.
The company which Lodewick
Vroom has assembled to do Strauss
most popular operetta honor is vi
brantly alive to its responsibilities
to his music and Erich Korngold's S
adaptation of it, The principals
are not precisely those who made
New York close its eyes to the book
of "Rosalinda," while listening rap
turously to its gay, lifting tunes, but
they are not perceptibly inferior in
any respect. At a guess, the ingra-
tiating Oscar Karlweis may have
given the role of Prince Orlofsky
a more winningly dim-witted, royal
charm than Alexander Ivo. Mr.
Karlweis might easily do that, but
a more vocally acceptable Rosalinda
than Dorothy Sarnoff is improbable
and the same applies to Virginia
McWatters as the arch Adele, John
Hendrick as the philandering Eisen-
stein, or Paul Best as the irrespon-
sible prison warden who prefers wine
and women to his prosaic job.
Also helping to bewitch those in
clined to become disenchanted with
the book of "Rosalinda" is the
dancing which has been devised for
it by George Balanchine. A quite
talented group headed by Elise Rel

HOLLYWOOD.

HULL WoSD.
Frequent visits to number of Los
Angeles eye specialists during the
past few weeks have enlightened US
a great deal on the subject of vision
and it's relative unimportance in
dressing up a movie glamour girl.
Surprisingly, the optic experts all
agree that defective vision very often
can be turned into a photogenic
quality for screen ladies. Unable
to see clearly without their glasses
on the brightly illuminated sets, they
strain and enlarge the orbs. Result
--hotsy-totsy eyes for the audience.
Most feminine veterans of five
years or more before the cameras
wear glasses to read, most of them
for street wear, too. The lights,
especially the high-powered arcs
used for technicolor, invariably roll
up some optic trouble. One of the
loveliest and best-known blond
stars OF the screen suffers so severely
she cannot see more. than few
feet and, without glasses, gropes
her way ever SO carefully around a
set. On radio program recently,
she first asked her press agent to
pace the number of steps from the
wings to the microphone. Then,
when the lights went up and she
received her cue, she reached the
mike by mathematical strategy.

Head of great film company
in the silent era, now retired, told
us recently of case where defec-
tive vision brought a IS ,000- week
career to q nonentity.
1--WE had just purchased a great
stage property and needed a beau
tiful girl with piercing black eyes
to play the siren role" he related.
Deciding upon a newcomer, we
tested 80 girls for the part. The
test consisted of placing the candi-
date in the porthok of scenic ship
and having her stare at the leading
man as he walked by.
"One girl outstared all the others.
Her eyes seemed to drill right
through the leading man. Every one
spoke of that quality. We signed
her to a long term contract and q
short time later discovered her eye
sight was so bad she couldn't see
across a small room.
She always carried a large lor-
gnette. 1t was no affectation, but a
practical item. She used it to iden-
tify people and to find her way
about. That girl eventually earned
5000 week and became great
public idol. Fans hailed her come

written in the fan magazines about
them"

logue are set with a wonderful dis
regard for the notion that these are
times of stringence, a devil-may-
careness that it's at its most sump-
tuous in the second act in which
the action is laid in the home OF
Prince Orlofsky. The old Emperor
himself might have appeared in the
midst of that splendor without Gre
ating any surprise, but it is all right
that he does not, for the ballet and
choral groups take care of things
very handsomely.
AS we say. however, it is as a
piece of music, beautifully produced,
that "Rosalinda" is captivating. As
tale of the Vienna blades and their
girl friends, it is an old and bum
bling thing.

lance that used to inspire Viennese
waltzes turns the second and third
acts into much more current ex-
lpression of Strauss score than has
been accomplished by the revisions
in the book and lyrics.
"Rosalinda" looks very much
alive, indeed, in its eye-filling and
brilliantly produced dance intervals
X x*
The enthusiasm which has gone
into the creation of this "Rosalinda'
has been directed primarily toward
letting the maestros music sing out
in the contemporary idiom of Mr.
Korngold, who never lets the idiom
become too dominant. This end is
best achieved in the expression of
the vocal gifts of the Misses Sarnoff
and MacWatters, especially the lat
ter, who has the evenings largest
musical moments. She is especially
brilliant in her third-act number,
that highly melodic three-part in
vention in which she undertakes to
convince the skeptical, four-f1ushing
prison warden that she is an actress
of superlative talent and furiously
desirous of being discovered. 1t is
easily the musical high point of
"Rosalinda" and Miss MacWatters,
who is not a bad actress either,
makes it glitter.
The fervor that has gone into
making this, the seventh or eighth,
presentation of the operetta a spec
tacle up to the standard of Max
Reinhardt, who supervised the pro-
duction, has found its most insu-
perable obstacle in the story.
1t is extremely dubious that even
the Viennese in the days of their
largesse and at the pinnacle of their
philandering ever were quite as
these. They are not aided In re-
spect to conviction by a few direc-
toral tricks that have come out of
the cinema, which, in turn, took
them from burlesque. This is true
of the strange clucking noises which
are presumably the sounds of males
in love. It is not true of the rather
imaginative strip-tease which Miss
Sarnoff introduces with the aid of
Miss MacWatters, process involv-
ing more petticoats than are to be
found in great-grandmas effects in
the attic. It makes a pleasant in
terruption of the fiirtations which
da1gle from the score which Strauss
wrote. i's1 7I7S
