I don't believe Ann Miller will be
dancing with him. AIMS big
problem at Metro. and the reason
she doesn't make as many pictures

rants is that she is too tall for
most of the leading men there.

The Polytech Chorus of Finland,
appearing in Constitution Hall last
night, must have realized soon
that it was singing for friends
The audience should have been
larger to welcome this student
organization, which has nothing
amateurish about it. The chorus
became an important adjunct of
Finland's Institute of Technology
in 1904 and has fourished ever
since.
The members of the present
group have a definite purpose in
undertaking the tour of this coun-
try. It is to help raise funds to
finance a broad housing project
to accommodate the Olympic
teams coming for the games in
Finland two years hence.
Already they have contributed
their own manual labor to this
end when their studies of archi-
lecture and engineering permit
ted. Now they are making use OF
music to help out further. 1t was
as choral singers, however, worthy
to represent the culture of their
country and to enter competition
with other similar groups, that
they were applauded last night
For they know how to sing, ano
the charm of their performance
lay in the naturalness and SIM
plicity with which each number
was delivered.
Ossi Elokas, the conductor, Sc
lected some so of his $50 members
for the tour. All have excellent
voices, but this is to be discovered
from the finely blended ensemble
The quality is round and melo-
dious and the conductor has seen
to 1t that never are the voices
forced to extraordinary effort. Sc
that when one listens to these
dignif1ed, good-looking young men
one realizes that knowledge of the
beauty of song is firmly established
in Finland and the aim of the
group is to expound it. This is

Hearty Applause Brings Encores

| the third Finnish chorus to sing
in Constitution Hall. the others
being the Helsinski University
Chorus in 1888 and the Finlandia
Chorus in 1889.
The program was topped by five
songs by Sibelius, three of which
had to be repeated. The familiar
excerpt from "Finlandia" brought
many people to their feet, al
though it was in reality less finely
sung than his Broken Voice" and
Song of My Heart" The latter,
especially, brought out the art
of the singers for particular COM
mendation. The beautiful Cradle
Song" by Palmgren was another
notable number. long applauded
until 1t was sung again. This
composers "Shepherd's JOY"
Sonninen's charming "Rippling
Waters" and Tornudd's "Kitkat
Katkat" provided the lighter mo-
ments of the program.
10 song by kllplnen, one OF
Finland's younger composers, was
fine vehicle for the excellently
trained baritone voice of Kim
Borg. He was the first of three
soloists, each of whom had to
give an encore. Matti Lehtinen's S
rich baritone was heard in wait
ing for Evening" by Emil Genetz,
who died in 1880 at the age of
78, and the sweet. lyric tenor of
Anti Koskonen was most effective

The singers achieve variety of
effect in the easiest manner. Mr..
Elokas, whose song. I'm the Moon
light" was one of the outstanding
numbers. conducts with repose,
yet his forcefulness is apparent in
the results he attains. The young
men of the chorus have hearts
as well as throats full of song and
every shade of sentiment in the
varied and well-planned program

interpretive effects. The test of
their success was the continual

The chances are that the judges
remark will fall upon deaf ears for
long before he sums up, Byron's s
case will have been dismissed as
much too dull by the audience.
This is quite unfortunate both for
Byron who was an exciting human,
and for the usually deft picture
makers who come a cropper in
this unusual production.
The latter were clearly in a
mood to experiment, which is al
ways a good thing, and they just
as clearly failed in it, which is
always a sad one.
Going down to defeat with the
passionate poet hero is a large cast
of England's most gifted players,
q few of whom are Dennis Price,
Joan Greenwood, Sonia Holm, Mai
Zetterling and Linden Travers.
Individually their performances
are well made, especially Miss
Greenwood as wanton noble
woman. but they never melt into

was written by five scriptists. AS
any set of reflective male authors
might, their chief interest is how
that many beautiful women could
have fallen that desperately for
one poet. Even such a good poet
as Byron.
The point they have to make in
each of Byron's major affairs. is
that the women he seduced really
loved him. 1t was not in any case
a passing fancy. a moment of
release from the dullness of nor
mally stupid husband sor a nor
mally empty life.
One by one, on the witness
stand, they admit love for Byron
still, despite his cruelty, his ar
rogance, his terror of being
trapped, and his absolute genius
for philandering. Presumably the
meaning of these declarations is
that Byron was more than an ex-
traordinarily gifted seducer, a
Iperceptive poet, and a passionate
political idealist.
This is not supported by the per-
formance Of Dennis Price as
Byron. His poet is a handsome
man. dextrous in love, and all that
He does not. however, create the
impression that this man is a
genius and a giver of light who is
to be forgiven all normally un-
forgiveable sins. In his failure to
shape clear-cut Byron, Price
has the company of number of
other celebrated actors who have
tried to capture the elusive genius
OF, particularly, poets.
There is effective dramatic con-
trast between the unearthly court
room in which Byron's trial is
held and the rich and cluttered
social scene which he dominated in
London and in Italy.
That was rich background
against which he operated as
philandering husband and financ-
tally harraSsed aristocrat-about-
town. His writer's in THE Bad
Lord Byron" have tried to do him
the favor of making him talk
like Byron wrote. Their effort,
however, struck one pair of ears
as vain except in those instances
in which they let the screen Byron
quote directly from the real ones
works, as to Teresa Guiccioli,
you are my last and only love-"
The acknowledgements effect
of the Trans-Lux feature cannot
conceal a number of interesting
individual performances. Miss
Greenwood, who gave such an in
tense performance as the amor
GUS girl in Kind Hearts and Cor
onets," shows much the same
skill in like role here.
Similarly. Miss Holm does a
neat impression Of the other type
female as the cold, unyielding
Annabella Millbanke. Although
the Augusta Leigh played by Lin
den Travers may not be like the
one you've read in Byron biog-
raphies, it is well done. The same
may be said for Miss Zetterling as
Byron's perfect summary of wom-
anhood.
On the whole, the fact that they
stand out above Byron in interest
in the film gives them something
Of a belated revenge on him. Even
If it is not to the advantage of
the picture.

For Indians Economy

the world, Mr.. Nichols, where
people were healthy and edu-
Gated if they lived on poor soll?"

can't have health and education
without good soil. Do you admit

for only 81. $4,000 for soil con-

then we sit here year in and veal
out and talk about what we are
