Record Crowd Hears
Louis Jordan At Pool

On Sunday night, November 7th
more than 5000 music loving fans
gathered at the spacious Liberty
City Amusement Park for an even
ing of fun with the internationally
famous Louis Jordan and his band.
1t is reported that the largest gath
ering in the history Of the Amuse-
ment Park was on hand to welcome
Mr.. Jordan and his outfit.
AS evidence of the spirit of the oc-
casion the Louis Jordan aggrega-
ton played fifteen minutes beyond
the contracted time due to the en-
thusiastic reception of the crowd to
many of his popular arrangements,
such as Run Joe" and MANY other
famous Jordan recording.
During the early part of the night
rumors were coming from undis-
closed sources relating the fatal
shooting of several patrons at the
Amusement Park. At one time(
demented hoodlum did drop light
ed firecracker near the dance floor.
Many in the crowd thought the
raise rumors relative to the shoot
ing and the dropping of the lighted
flrecracker were planned. Opinions
We're freely expressed in opposition
to such base tactics.
fhe entire evening passed without
incident and Mr.. Jordan expressed
himself as having met the greatest
reception of all his tour to the Mi
ami area. All the patrons of the
Liberty City Amusement Park are
eagerly anticipating the return of
Mr.. Jordan.

Those who have seen professional
wrestling on television have de-
veloped quite passionate convic-
ton that here, actually, is the finest
acting to be found in America.
The correlative, naturally, has
been a sort Of dudgeon against the
movies and the theater for not
doing some talent scouting in this
area OF human (somewhaD activity.
All this is about to be corrected,
however. John Ford, one of the
great minds of motion picture max
ing, has just tapped a pair Of
wrestling's finest actors, Primo
Camera and Man Mountain Dean.
They will be among the principals
in "Mr. Joseph Young Of Africa" J."
which soon will be produced by
Ford for distribution through RKO.
The years other Academy Award
candidates can begin shivering. Un-
less. Of course, their transfer to the
new medium does something to the
pure acting styles of Primo and the
Man Mountain. That has hap
pened frequently to actors recruited
from the field of sport.

Busch and Serkin
Fulfill Promise of
Musical Treat
By EIeno de Soyn

The announcement by the Ger
trude Clarke Whittall Foundation of
a recital by Adolph Busch and Ru-
dolf Serkin In the Library of Con-
gress promised a treat which was
fully realized last night. The IA
nous pair played two ensembles and
q solo each. Mr.. Busch performed
Bach's Sonata in G. minor" for
violin alone. Mr.. serkin was heard
in Brahms Variations and Fuge on
q Theme by Handel, op. "a" for
piano, the original manuscript of
which was added recently to the
Whittau collection. The autograph
was on display in the foyer Of the
Coolidge auditorium during the
concert.
Brahms greatest work in this
form could not have had a finer
interpreter than Mr.. Serkin. His
unlimited technical resources, un-
surpassed mastery Of tone grada-
ton, his perfect coordination Of in
intellect and emotion lent power
entrain and fire to his performance
Of the work which places extraordi-
nary demands upon an executant
In Brahms day, only the composer
could do the variations justice. The
virtuosi of the time, among these
Clara Schumann, considered them
beyond their strength.
The dual role of an ensemble
partner and Of piano-virtuoso, in
which Mr.. Serkin appeared last
night, was an unparalleled exhibi-
tion Of pianism. Adjusting himself
with every infinitesimal effect at his
disposal, to the violin in Beethoven's
Sonata in G Major op. 80, No. g
and Schubert's "Rondo in B minoi
op. TO-" the artist used entirely diff
ferent means to achieve his ends in
Brahms. Launching the theme
containing intricate fioritura, with
a brilliant freshness and keeping ii
in the foreground throughout the
variations, Mr.. Serkin introduced
many tonal effects. There were imi-
tations Of harp, bells, trumpets
between finely spun melodies or vig-
orously accented rhythms, rich In
contrasts and at times orchestral In
color. With his admirable playing
the pianist was in an artistic posi-
ton to rouse his audience to a pitch
of enthusiasm, expressed in deaf.
ening applause and shouts OF ap-
proval. To abate 1t and to prepare
the way for the last ensemble or
the program, Mr.. Serkin played
Brahms familiar waltz" as ar
encore.
While Bachs Sonata in G
minor" played by Mr.. Busch, doe
not enjoy the universal popularity
Of his "Chaconne," or of the Pre-
lude in e Major" which appears ir
different arrangements, it is pre-.
ferred to some Of the other unac.
companied sonatas by violinists. AL.
though Mr.. Busch does not have 9
wide range of dynamics at his dis.
posal, his poised reading of Pre-.
lude" and "Siciliano" parts wa
marked by breadth and an adroi1
attack of chords. The execution o.
the ''Fugue" and Of the Presto
might have. gained tonally and II
clarity by more deliberate tempo
In the ensemble the violinist wa.
overshadowed by the superior at
tainmsnt Of his partner.
