informed that this is not time to
stick their ears out-not at the
Capitol.
The Capitols principal exhibit for
the shrieking delight of its current
customers at yesterdays first show
was Krupa and his combination Of
tom-tom and other artists. Virtually
every item on his 50-minute pro-
gram was seized as an occasion to
express ecstasy, sometimes quite
unaccountably to the elderly, sem
sitive ears of one fellow sitting in
the back row of the mezzanine with
Gene Ford, who arranged the bill.
Krupa clearly is a maestro who
knows what taste created the de-
mand for him, and for his band. He
caters to 1t with a profound disdain
for those who like their music
sirupy. One Krupa and that many
Krupa fans probably cannot be
wrong-but they can be argued with.

Twice Blessed" the screen at
traction, Is an effort on the part of
Metro Goldwyn- Mayer to laugh off
the fact that it Is sort of the pro-
fessional father of the Wilde twins.
1t has tried to make a great joke of
owning the contracts of the two
lovely blond young things, but we
are afraid the joke cid not come
off as intended There is about 1t the
appearance of everybody making
more effort than the idea deserved.
The idea, of course, is the one of
mistaken identity with which even
twins must be woefully discouraged
by this time.
The Wilde girls, Lee and Lyn,
turn up in Twice Blessed" as the
daughters of a broken home. The
court has assigned one to the father
a scapegrace newspaperman who
allows the elfin child to attend pub
lie schools, hang around the juke-I
joint eatery on the corner, and grow
up sort of like teen-age character
in the March of Time. The other has
been given to the mother, fanati-
cal educating sort of female who
cultivates the youngSter into prod
ICY, spectacular young brain hiding
behind tortoise shell spectacles.
There's your situation and you can
go on to write the rest of the script
for yourself. Or you can go to see
it at the Capitol.
At this remote distance from our
own teens, we found the most inter-
esting character in Twice Blessed"
to be neither the twins, nor their
divorced parents. On the contrary,
it was a soiled dove sort of female
reporter, fancy dame with the ac-
quisitiveness of famished penguin
and the sportsmanship of the late
John Dillinger. In spite of her total
lack of innocence, her intelligence
seemed to be deserving of greater

Twice Blessed" achieves certain
intervals of fiaccid merriment in Its
contemplation of the ebuillient way
wardness of the young. 1t examines
them tolerantly with respect to
both sexes and the social positions
represented by both sides of the rail-
road track. The result of the exami-
nation is the disclosure that they
are crazy about juke-boxes, they
speak vernacular that is as alien
to others as that used in the Belgian
Congo, and that they seem to be
making world OF their own so far
as they are able.
Their efforts, particularly in re-
spect to the latter, are such that one
is entirely willing to grant them a
world of their own.
The performances in Twice
Blessed" are worthy of the demands
the script makes upon the perform
ers. Gail Patrick and Preston Fos-
ter are as adequate as the plot al
lows in the roles OF the Freudianly
annoyed parents, the twins are fully
up to their tasks and so are the
Icorrelative young males in the cast.

BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

Artur RubinStein presented an.
other of his brilliant and eminently
satisfying recitals yesterday in Con-
stitution Hall and the host of his
admirers were led on an excursion
into the very heart of music. The
renowned Polish artist is so fine a
master OF Interpretation that the
music he plays becomes a discourse
OF thought and feeling. Yesterday s
program, for the most part from the
familiar repertoire, was engroSSing
by reason OF his special approach
His virtuosity permits him to con-
centrate exclusively on the music's
meaning and he has delved deeply
to find it. The clarity of his style
forbids ambiguity and he has so rich
store of color and dynamics that
every delicate shade in the multiple
enects he creates is highlighted by
them. He can be poet or dramatist
at need, as was illustrated in the
Beethoven Sonata, op. 81, No. g.
and Liszt's Sonata in B minor"
The elasticity and huency in his
playing of the former, not only
emphasized its joyousness but also
its exhaltation of mood, and in the
strong contrasts he defined in the
List Sonata" it became as re-
markable a musical story as Romeo
and Juliet So absorbing was the
continuity in line and what it re-
vealed that there was no thought of
the technical perfection behind it.
Although Mr.. Rubinstein is, In a
way, a specialist in the music of his
countryman, Chopin, the three
numbers, "Ballade in G minor" !"
"Berceuse" and "Scherzo, op. 39''
were the least satisfying Of the
program. Playing them often may
have dimmed some of their finer
points for the pianist, for the sensi-
tive grasp otherwise displayed was
not present. 1t is true the delivery
was polished and of that light grace
Of which he is master, but the well
thought out effects had a matter
of-factness about them not to be
expected from his previous perform
ance.
In the remaining numbers, the
Dance of Fear" from De Falla S

Ilude" and the artists arrangement
for piano Of the Dance of the
Seven Veils," from Strauss "Sa-
lome," the superfine appreciation
was caught best in the Gershwin
number. The Strauss excerpt is a
brilliant and difficult work and Mr.
Rubinstein was able to reproduce
with almost orchestral variety of
tone its particular flavor.
A mere handful of people left the
hall at the conclusion of the pro-
gram, the rest of the enthusiastic
audience waiting for the several
encores that followed.
Jacques Gordon in Program.
Jacques Gordon, violinist, brought
with him the Cuban pianist, Jose
Echaniz, for sonata program last
night in the National Gallery of
Art, one of the rare occasions to
hear Mr.. Gordon without his string
quartet.
The feature of the program was
the first local performance of
Sowerby's Sonata in A." another
outstanding work from this gifted
composers pen. In the three move
ments, Sowerby has stressed diver
sified moods and while his treat
ment is arresting, the quantity of
material, especially in the third
movement, weights down the initial
impulse. The first section is marked
