By the Associated Press. HOLLYWOOD, May 22—The old | Hollywood spirit is peering around the corner. The film colony is partying . Hosts are feeling their way with nothing highly lavish to begin with. But it doesn't cost so much to give a party now anyway. In remembered days Cecil B. De Mille gave parties at Paradise Rancho, with guests drawing numbers for favors. The favors, guests disclosed, were sometimes atinum wrist watches, fur neckpieces, e perfumes and even diamond rings. This director's parties usually were confined to & small and exclusive group, or to his co-workers. Other executives occasionally duplicated or gave them on a larger scale, some reputed to have cost thousands or dollars, with $10,000 a possible top. $250 Bridge Prizes. Such affairs may not be seen again, although the tradition of lavishness, in the instance of Marion Davies and one or two others, has been carried ug to recent days. The nearest approach to the costly favors now is bridge prizes, such as a $250 hand bag. ‘The low mark in entertainment was rezched during the 50 per cent salary cut a month ago, but with things look- ing up those who ought to know say Hollywood may spend $100,000 this year for parties. This compared to $250,000 in the salary heyday. The big splashes, the ones which take in most of the film colony, are the may- fair affairs. Here the film folk used to spend upwards of $35000 a year just dining and dancing. Nine may- fair parties were given during the hap- Py 1926-7 era. Cost of Dinners Halved.

A few even have had the temerity to give “Dutch” lunch parties. Studios are beginning to entertain again, private parties are becoming brighter and more numerous. Maybe Movieland soon will be drawing lucky numbers for favors again. Detective Seeks Bagpiper. MINNEAPOLIS, May 22 (#).—Glenn W. MacLean is stumped.

MUSICAL program was Dpre- sented by Walton Boyce, planist, for the Folitical Study Club Saturday afternoon at the ‘Washington Club. It was a Proem of exacting requirements both om a technical and interpretive stand- point, combining as it did the most outstanding piano compositions of the great masters. Only a pianist of Mr. | Boyce's thorough musicianship and fine talent could have presented such a pro- gram and held the interest at high tension_throughout. Mr. Boyce’s playing is characterized by the judicious mixture of powerful, dynamic effects and delicate, pearl- like quality, which he holds at instant command. His finger technique is ficet and sure, with a crystal clearness that at times attains a penetrating sweet- ness of tone. In the “Adagio” of Bee- thoven's “Moonlight Sonata,” Strauss’ “Traumerie” and Liszt's bestraum™ this individual and personal quality, which is of pecularly ethereal color, brought out the romantic beauty of these compositions and their wealth of sentiment to a highly artistic degree. Mr. Boyce's playing of Bach is ma- Jestic, presenting the grandiose side of the master, and the two preludes ‘and fugues, one in C major, the other in B flat, were delivered in a broad, free style that represented the immense power and depth of Bach's genius. The free sweep and authority of his playing was further demonstrated in the “Rondo Capriccioso” of Mendels- sohn, Heller's “Tarantelle” and Lisat's “La Campanella” in which the clear bell quality rang true_ throughout the fficult passages. In Beethoven's ‘Moonlight Sonata” he caught admir- ably the haunting poetry and gave it out with ripe understanding. In the “Allegretto” and ‘“Presto” movements, however, he permitted his temperament to dominate a little too much and the strength of his chords and the swift- ness of runs blurred the ideal concep- tion he started out with in the adagio. A group of Chopin numbers, including the Etude in E flat, known as the ‘Two numbers, " and Liadow's “Music Box” made great appeal and were enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Boyce's entire program and his interpretation of it was a refreshing, artistic treat and the unrestrained ap- plause of the audience showed its ap- preciation.
