CAPITAL BEER PARLORS i “RED DUST" IS AT GAPITOL THIS EVENING Clark Gable and Jean Har- low Are Stars of Tur- bulent Drama “Red Dust,” tol Theatre presents the interesting Jean Harlow of Cochin, China. based on the Wilson Collision stage hit of the same title, which is depicted the dramatic tri- toeratic wife of a French engineer visits a tropical rubber plantation and’falls in love with its overseer, thus engendering the hatred of a defiant, hard-boiled girl of the dance hall variety, who has prior claims on the man. Gable, of course, has the role of the overseer ent from his recent successful por- trayal opposite Norma Shearer in “Strange Interlude.” Miss Harlow, fresh from her triumph in “Red | Headed Woman,” plays the hard- ened plantation girl who, thoughi scorned at first, subsequently proves ' that sufficient 'sex appeal and strength to live the brutal life of advantage over her more civilized | rival. Mary Astor is seen as the| engineer’s wife, and Gene Raymond | as her husband who returns from | a distant engineering job to find| his wife and the overseer in a com- | promising situation. There will be a preview of “Hard to Handle,” starring James Cagney | at the Capitol Theatre at 1 am. tonight.

After you sez Mae West as Tira, the lion-tamer, in her new film its title will seem merely a reci- | tation of the obvious. The picture is “I'm No Angt and the scintilant Miss West, in a piece she wrote, adapted and adorned with dialog, makes it quite clear that Tira never would | be accused of seraphic flights. But no one who saw Mae West in “She Done Him Wrong” or in any of her stage plays will go ex- pecting Tira to be anything other {than a glittering devil-dame who has her good points, her curves. RIGHT THIS WAY, FOLKS Tira is a dancer in a cheap | carnival when the picture opens, |and she works the lions on the |side. Having a passion for finery and jewels, Tira works also at collecting these with the least pos- sible effort, and she has a trunk- ful of souvenirs when the story ets under way. But Tira is superstitious, and the 'carmvals seer preparés a horo= scope that mentions two rich men. The notion rather appeals to her; | because she has ambitions. { The plot thickens in that di- réction when Tira, to geét out of a scrape ' promises to do an act in { which she puts her head in a lion’s mouth. 1t brings her to New.

VAn electrical By HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE (Amsociated Press Science Editor) JTHACA, N. Y, Oct. 17—Com- bigitig music and electrical engin- eering, Prof. Viadimir Karapetoff of Cornell University has devised what he calls the electrical dirigent, a substitute for the orchestra con- ductor’s baton. The dirigent is an elecirical key- board, played by the conductor's fingers, each key lighting signals on the music stands of his play-| ers. , The signals are colored lights, four. of them flashing alike on each | stand; but two others on each stand carrying only individual mes- sages. i Professer Is Cellist Dr. Karapetoff is professor of electrical engineering. He is also a life-Iong orchestra player, the cello his, hobby. “Por a long time” he says, “I bnve felt the inadequacy of con- trolling a large body of musicianis by means of wavy motions of two arms, and a recurring expression of rage on the conductor’s face. ‘Because the conductor cannot indicate, gll. that he wants| h his two hands, and a few facial muscles, numerous rehearsals are riecessary, until the musicians m remember what to do in the . mportant - places. Conductor Leads Orchestra By New @r_gtem lqghlights fil been devised by Prof. Viadimir Karapetoff of Comll Unlvmfiy, who calls it the electrical dirigent. Each music stand has a signal beard with six flashlights, four flashing alike on each stand and two giving individual directions to each musician. forge the conductor to abide by the interpretation drilled into the mus- icians at the rehearsals.” Combinations Varied Explaining the combination of signals possible With six lights on each musc stand, Dr. Karapetifl says. “The conductor can push one button for the first beat of each | measure and one of the other but- tons for the remaining beats of the | measure. Thus with a three-four time the white may flash the first beat and the blue the other two. | The red light may mean softer, | the green louder. The green and red together may meah ‘hold. “And when they are extinguished the player or singer is to stop the sound. ‘ “Besides these four which sirfiul- taneously light on all the music stands, each musician has hefc | him two more miniature lights, | knows that these are individual | signals for him alone. “Two fields suggest themselves at once for such a device—the educa- tional field and the commercial or- chestras or ensemblés. The device could also find application in church music. “I call the device the electrical dirigent.
