Co-starring Dana Andrews, Merle Oberon and Ethyl Barrymore at the head of a brilliant cast that cludes such personages as Hoagy Carmichael, Artur Rucinstein and Eugene Ormandy, this picture blends the writing of a new concerto with an engrossing love story in fresh and delightful fashion. Andrews’ role is that of a tal- ented young composer, embittered because of blindness, while Oberon portrays a wealthy music- lover who becomes interested in him when she finds him playing the piano in a San Fransico night spot. Learning michael, that an expensive opera- tion might restore Andrews' sight but that he is far too proud to ac- cept the money it would cost, heroine confers with her cynical aunt (Miss Barrymore) on ways and means of assisting the young man in spite of himself. She finally evolves a plan over which the friend and the aunt shake their heads, but the way it works out makes for an exceptionally intriguing plot and a stirring climax. ‘Throughout this plot is woven the | creation of a concerto for piano and orchestra, a musical chore that for the first time in this reviewer's memory ally and honestly. And the final scenes, when Rubenstein and the New York Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra play the finished work in Carnegie Hall under Ormandy's condu(ung, are beautifully done. MADAME ITURBI IS GUEST-AT MUSICAL EVENING AT EHLERS With Madame Iturbi as guest of honor, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Ehler were hosts at an informal evening of music at their home Friday with the Ehlers and Mrs. Ruth McVey Popejoy as musicians of the evening instead of the visit- ing artist Her was audience while Mr. Ehler and his wife, who sang professionally as Marye Berne, responded to re- quests for many of the songs that have become favorites.
