In coming to Washington for her
first Presidents birthday celebra-
ton, Miss Ball returns to the city
that was part of the springboard
for her career. 1t was here in the
last days of the Shubert- -Belasco
Theater, now the Stage Door Cam
teen. that Miss Ball appeared in
what was undoubtedly one of the
worst comedies ever written, a
thing labeled Hey Diddle, Diddle."
1t was instantly obvious that the
comedy was headed straight for the
nearest junk pile, and equally obvi-
Gus that Miss Ball was magnificent
ly worth salvaging before the demo-
lition began.
Her happy reception, in dire con-
trast to the miserable one which
the play received, attracted the at
tention of the proper people to her
talent and beauty and she shortly
thereafter appeared on the Holly
wood scene.
Her first employment was with
Sam Goldwyn, a brief thing. Next
she showed up at RKO, which
thought highly of her skill and her
photogenity, but was constantly ha-
rassed by the thought that Miss Ball
looked so much like Ginger Rogers
that perhaps the public would be
confused. Considering Miss Rogers
standing at the studio. as its top
fight star. that was not very good
for Miss Ball.
1t continued to be not very good
for her for so long that she began
to yearn for other studios, any
studio that did not have a big star
whom she resembled so fatally from
the professional standpoint.
The studio finally manifested IT.
self in the big, rich form Of Metro
GoldwynM Mayer, the dream Of every
player who likes sense of security

1t has worked out just fine for
Miss Ball ever since.

Recital Packs
Phillips Gallery
By. ELENA DE SAYN.

Last nights recital at the Phillips
Gallery given by Alba Rosa Victor
who appeared in the triple capacity
of violinist, composer and pianist
jointly with Marietta Vogel, pianist,
excited much interest, bringing to-
gether enough admirers to fill the
hall to capacity, with extra chairs
placed lin the room adjoining the
auditorium.
In splendid form, accompanied by
Nine. Vogel, the violinist opened
the program with the Corelli-
Leonard La Folia," which, in spite
of other versions of later date, still
holds a foremost place in the violin
literature. In this, as in Thomson's
ornate Scandinavian Lullaby" and
Sarasate's ever popular "Romanza
Andalusa," Nine. Victor displayed a
sonorous tone, a firm, authoritative
bowing and fleet finger technique,
which made her delivery most en-
joyable. Special mention deserves
also her playing of Kreisler's Lie
besleid," which she gave as an en-
core.
Nine. Vogel's solo contribution to
the program consisted of Beethoven
Busoni's "Ecossaise," McDowell's S
witches Dance" Korngold's The
Brownies" and Toch's The Jug
gler,' selections, more or less, of the
same type, with the exception
of RachmaninOff' "Polichinelle. -
which the young pianist played for
an encore. In this she showed the
singing quality of her tone to the
best advantage. Each number was
we'll received, however, and the
artist was warmly applauded.

previous birthday celebrations.
A first glance at the panel which
Newman Sudduth has sketched at
right might indicate an accent or
menace. Patiently, the Nessrs. Don
levy and Garfield have been on the
dark side more often than they
have portrayed roles of triumphant
virtue, or virtue triumphant. And
more than that. they have a highly
able distaff assistant in the lovely
person of Miss Maria Montez, one
of the more spectacularly emer-
gent cinema personalities in the
past year.
In effective contrast, no abler nor
more winning hero could be pos
sible than Walter Pidgeon, no
heroine more lithely and beautifully
comic than Miss Lucille Ball, nor
one more lovely to look at than
Miss Falkenberg, who has given the
lie completely to the legend that
women cannot be athletic and beau
tiful at the same time.
The odds are that the cinema
star group will find itself seriously
challenged in personality appeal, if
not in glamour, by newcomer on
this years guest list. The gentle
man in question is the concert
pianist-conductor Jose Iturbi, who
has just recently added the motion
picture to the arts which he prac-
tices with consummate success. His
appearance. of course, was that in
the huge M-G-M musical, Thou
sands Cheer" in which he played
an archly comic orchestra conduc-
tor billed impressively as Jose Itur-
bi. In his appearances as concert
artist. orchestra conductor, and
radio guest star, Mr.. Iturbi had
created the impression in learned
quarters that he was possessed of
a considerable talent for comedy.
Thousands Cheer" confirmed that
impression widely, especially among
professional critics, who found Mr.
1turbis boogie-woogie passage in
the picture one of the finest pieces
OF irreverence not to mention
highly artistic boogie- -woogie-since
the late John Barrymore did his
tragic-comic carricatures of John
Barrymore in some of his final pic
lures and plays
Whatever Mr.. Iturbi decides to do
by way of entertaining his fellow
gueStS-yOu, and you, and you-at
the birthday party dances, midnight
shows, and elsewhere, Sthers on the
