VINO has his craft at his finger tips,

Believed to be Strauss autobiog-
raphy, Elm Heldenleben" or a
"Hero's Life" depicts in general
terms, divided into six sections, the
rough road a man has to travel
through life. 1t is supposed to rep
resent struggle against opposition,
pictures conflicts, the rewarding love
Of woman, a fight for recognition,
triumph, intellectual accomplish
ment and satisfaction over work well
done.
Subjected to many attacks for his
innovations at the beginning of his
career-called jester, a decadent,
a musical acrobat and later, in the
years of his success, a money-maker
Strauss created tone poems sur
passing by far those of his predeces-
sors Liszt and Berlioz. Much of to-
days music has been Influenced by
him. His harmonic daring and sweep,
his songs, and his operas, more akin
to the modern requirements Of the
stage than any of those which came
before him, are the best written at
the turn of the century.
The thoroughness of DR.. Kindler's
analyses of the score, the striding
effect in the prelude, richly intoned
by the celli and violins in turn, and
the logic in the subsequent develop
ment of the themes was nothing
short of mastery. The scornful out
burst of the woodwind in the second
section, mocking and aggressive, the
hero's challenge to the world as ex-
pressed in the fanfare of the trum-
pets, accompanied by the roll of the
snare drums, were dramatically set
forth. The eloquent disclosure of
some familiar themes of Strauss
other works, brought into play to
complete his self-portrait, and the
massing of tonal strength toward
the climax of the work, all moved
with beauty and logic under the
expert direction.
1t remained for Jan Tomasow, the
concertmaster of the orchestra, to
give the right infection to the third
section of the work which mirrors
the Beloved" Tender, coquetish,
naive, petulant, demure or loving,
his violin met the challenge guided
by his finer perceptions. He shared
with Dr.. Kinder in the ovation
which was accorded the orchestra

several times to bow his acknowl-

Howard Players
Stage a Fantasy

It is a fragile wisp Of fantasy
that Tennessee Williams wrote in
his play, "The Glass Menagerie. I"
Without the services OF Laurette
Taylor, Julie Hayden and Eddie
Bowling, it's professional presenta-
ton might easily have enjoyed con-
siderably less success. The Howard
Players of Howard University must
be commended then for the bravery
they have displayed in attempting
the affair in the first place and con-
graduated for the success they have
had with it.
Their "Glass Menagerie,' with
Doris Williams, Shauneille Perry
and Robert Brown in the roles
played by Miss Taylor, Miss Hayden
and Mr. Bowling, has captured more
of the surface comedy than the un-
derlying tragedy of Mr. Williams
play. 1t adds up, though, to an
enjoyable evening. The pace seems
to lag here and there, but for the

Bette's 'Jezebel'
Was Quite a Gal,
Up to a Point

By Harry Macarthur

Having been accused, by a man
who claims to have been in Holly
wood at the time, Of writing the
original report on "Jezebel," we
went into the files to check up on
that. We were sure we'd never seen
the picture before yesterday, when
its revivication arrived at the War;
ner. Well, in The Star of March
26, 1888. motion picture reviewer
named Jay Carmody wrote, in part:
With Bette Davis, Margaret Lind
say, Henry Fonda and George Brent
playing their hearts out in a story
that contains considerable excite
ment, and with production that has
intelligence and dollars written all
over it, 'Jezebel' up to a certain
point is charming entertainment.
That point happens to be the climax
in which Miss Davis, as Julie, turns
softie on our highest ideals for her"
He must have seen the same
"Jezebel," for his description fits the
film which came back to town yes
terday. When it first was here,
"Jezebel' represented a huge prac-
tical joke played by Warner Bros.
on David o. SelZnick, in which Miss
Davis was allowed to play her ver-
sion of Starlett OHara before Wv
len Leigh's could be shown to the
public. AS it stands now, "Jezebel"
is a sort of monument to Miss Davis
talent and to the Southern accent.
Adapted from a play by Owen
Davis, ST., the picture tells the story
of Julie, vixenish South'n belle of
Oh N'wol'ns, who toments huh A.

about the South'n code and wife
miss Lindsay, whose unslurred
speech is most soothing to damyan-
kee ears.
As for that climax in which Miss
Davis turns softie after having been
a thorough vixen throughout the
film, it probably was the only thing
Director William Wyler could think
of. The "other man" is dead of a
duel. Fonda is lying there suffering
from yellow fever Tin the epidemic
of 1882. Both Miss Davis and Miss
Lindsay want to accompany him to
the island where yellow fever victims
and lepers are sent. Julie turns
noble and wins the opportunity to
purge herself of her past. It isn't
even climax, but Mr.. Wyler had to
stop sometime If he was to beat

SINCE Hasso. But the plot and the
gags are those which have grown
so threadbare that Hope must fear
he will fall through them in the
next scene.
That he never actually does and
that his public appears satisfied
clearly gives Paramount the feeling
that it can keep right on making the
same Hope picture so long as they
both shall live.

the others. He is caught between a
band of Barovian anarchists who
fear him as a claimant to the throne
of their notify monarch, and FAM

he is running out on it's giddy sis

If they lengthen skirts and Mrs
