The l9-year-old pianist, Eugene
Istomin, played the Concerto No
2 in F minor" by the 19-year-old
Chopin last night as soloist with
the National Symphony at the
Water Gate and established himself
as a pianist Of distinction. The
performance of two other Chopin
numbers, the "Mazurka No. S in B
fiat major, op. 7, No /" and the
"Fantaisie- -Impromptu in c sharp
minor. op Co. brought an ovation
to the young artist making his debut
in this city. The concert was also
the farewell appearance of Saul
CASTOR as guest conductor who will
assume the post of director OF the
Denver Symphony this fall.
Since the story of Chopin's life
has been filmed, interest in his
music has been renewed or awak-
ened in all quarters. This may ac-
count in part for the record audi
ence last night as the Chopin num-
berS chosen by Mr.. Istornin are
played in the picture but it was an
audience that enjoyed the SYM
phonic program as thoroughly. The
kind weatherman provided another
ideal and refreshing evening and
the planes came winging home over
the barge as usual. There is plenty
to be had for the money at the
Water Gate: scenery, fresh air,
music, the winking lights of the big
planes for diversion and peace and
tranquility.
The program, unlike others, did
not contain bit from this or that
nation but was confined to three
composers: Weber, Chopin and
Brahms. Centered in the list was
Mr.. Istomin'S performance. The
youthful pianist has many excep-
tional gifts that mark him for a
career of prominence. Chief among
these is his beautiful tone which
contains deep emotional significance
and which is inexhaustible in its
warmth and resonance. Because
of this, his superlative technique,
smooth and clear in all passage
work, has an individual ring that is
something more than brilliancy or
sparkle.

No detective in the world can
boast of such an efficient crime
solving record as Thomas Jackson.
You see, Tom jackson Is a movie
detective. In 100 starts-he is now
rounding out his century chore in
| UniverSaIs "Alibi in Ermine"-
Tom has never failed to get his
man.
Tom Jackson looks so much like
sleuth and acts SO much like one
on the screen that he was talked
into becoming one in real life. Here's
how that happened:
The late Kohn F. Dockweiler,
district attorney of Los Angeles
County for many years, was an avid
screen fan. He never missed a
picture in which Tom jackson, with
that piercing look in his eyes and
that staccato voice, appeared as
the gumshoe.
That fellow ought to make a
great detective off the screen"
Dockweiler told an associate one
day. I'm going to call him up and
bave him come in"
Tom Jackson's movie fortunes
were bit on the shady side that
morning Dockweiler telephones. He
decided to take a chance on seeing
| If he could ferret out a crime in
real life half as well as he had been
doing for celluloid fans.
The pay was only $3.50 month,
but Tom went to work as an in
yestigator and detective for the
prosecutors office. He made good,
too-over a period of three years.
Il did most of it by applying a
lot of the tricks l had read and
learned in my movie scripts" he
confessed. The only trouble /
encountered in trying to solve those
cases was that I looked like a
movie detective. Some of my sus-
poets spotted me- They gave me
the old double take, and then it
wasn't so easy. They began to
think the whole business a gag"
A hammered, sandy haired
fellow, jackson created the role
of the most famous theatrical fat
goot, Dan McCorn, in the stage pro-
duction of Broadway"
When Universal filmed the play
in 1929, Jackson was brought to the
coast for his original role. But
when the same studio made the
picture in 1912 some one decided he
wasn't the type, and the part was
handed to Pat OBrien!
Il have played so many detec-
tives on stage and screen" jack
son declared, its about time I got
a pension"
Oddly, he started on the stage not
in modern detective stories, but
with Shakespearean repertory
company starring Charles Coburn
which toured the Nation 80 years
ago. He and Coburn had never
worked together since until they
met In his current picture
incidentally, there is a real de-
tective in JackSon's family, his
brother William, a crack homicide
man recently retired from the force
in New York.

He's No Phony Detective

Robert Bassler. producer at goth
Century Fox, said that cowboys
by the hundreds had pointed out
to the studios that they ride
slumped In the saddle.
Because it looks good, the stars
always sit their horses straight as
ramrod," said Bassler, who plans
to film the Will James story,
Smoky in Utah. This is the
Virginian school Of riding, the
school of the fox chase, and makes
an Arizona 'puncher' as mad as a
Californian gets when Florida
claims all the sunshine.
The Western cowpuncher slumps.
He'd break his back if he sat erect
all day in the saddle riding over
rough country.
The Virginian school of riding
got started back in the days when
most of the cowboy stars hailed
from that part. of the country.

Eugene IstOmin Gets Ovation
AS SOlOiSt at Water Gate

He commands a lovely legato
that was eXquiSitely descriptive in
the Chopin numbers and plenty of
temperament. What he still lacks
is deeper comprehension to give a
particular individuality to his play
ing. AS yet, he is a splendid per-
former and musician in the tech
nical sense and not an interpreter
that draws from heart and mind
The concerto was presented with
care and understanding but without
the poetry that grasps the Senti-
ment of the larghetto, which be-
speaks a profound moment in the
young composers life, the buoy
ant delicacy of the finale or the
many color contrasts in the first
movement.
The ''Mazurka" and the Fan
taisie" found him freer in his de-
livery and more aware of detailed
effects. The ear was charmed by
the quality of his touch and by the
extraordinary fiuency and pearl
like roundneSS of his runs. The
audience responded Immediately
and tried hard TO have him play
again but no encoreS were forth
coming.

THE HOME FRONT REPORTER

There are many different groups
represented among the inhabitants
of Mexico, and the customs and
traditions of one section differ
from those of another. Mexican
food, on the whole, reveals a ming
ling of Indian simplicity and Span
ish ideas, using a wide variety OF
native foods. The most outstand-
ing characteristic, perhaps, is the
Mexican's fondness for hot, highly
seasoned food. The "chili" or pep
er is used a great deal in cook
ing, and chill sauce is often served
at every meal.
Among the most common foods
are Orioles" or Mexican beans,
which differ in different sections
and the t'tortillas," which are
thin corn cakes cooked on a grid
die, and often used in the prepa-
ration of other dishes. These two
foods, along with small crops in
the rural districts form the main
stay of the diet of the lower
classes. The wealthy people enjoy
a much greater variety; many Of
them have been abroad and
brought back food customs from
other countries. Meats, fowl, fish,
fruits, and vegetables are all album
dant.
The main meal in Mexico is
served at noon. A typical meat
dish would be pork pie with tor
tillas for crust and layers Of to-
matoes, onions, eggs and cheese
the whole seasoned with
'sfery' seasonings.
Tamales are another typical
dish of Mexican origin. These
consist of a meat filling and corn
mixture which are spread on clean
corn shuclks; these are rolled up,
folded at the bottom, and steamed
slowly for several hours. The fol-
lowing recipe for Baked Tamale
is simpler version.

Fat Salvage 10

"The next six months will be

Office of Supply, U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Eat salvage
is urgent, and our work in this
program is more important now
than before"
In asking continued help inspite

MIR. Roper sees increased house
hold fat salvage as the aid to meet
ing the ever-mounting needs. Al
though the scarcity Of fats and
oils has been one Of the most SER
ious problems confronting our ma
ton, it is one shortage which the
women of America viii help to
overcome.
Recent reports indicate there
is little hope of an immediate ma
jor improvement in the domestic

cording to Mr.. Roper, we cannot
expect q rapid increase Of import
ed oils from the Pacific.
