There was a distinct style in what they did and a complimentary reflection on their teacher in fact that they sang as if this style was entirely their own and personal expression. Poise, finish and enthusiasm were evidenced by each of the singers according to their capa- es and brought the conclusion that cse are some of the results of their good ning. There was an artistic turn to even the simplest song thai was most satisfying and a finish that many public singers have not acquired. ver, side by side with a sincere pleasure in the generally fine singing was a sense of disappointment that some flagrant favlts were permitted to remain. The unforgivable tremolo w: present in the voices of some of the be: cingers and that equally unforgivable fault of attack known to vocalists as “scooping.” Any other defects that might have been cvident were directly due to these two blemishes on & vocal- ist's art.

THIRD OF FESTIVAL SERIES LAST NIGHT| Band, Orchestra and Glee Club| Give Program in Outdoor Theater. [ The third of a series of Summer festival programs, consisting of a glee club and mandolin orchestra, was pre- | sented last evening in the delightfully | cool Sylvan Theater in the Monument Grounas, under the joint auspices of the Community Center Department and the Office of Public Buildings and | Parks. The program was opened by band | numbers by the Washington Boys' In- dependent Band, under the direction of | Clinton J. Brown, jr. who contributed a number of marches and overtures, | concluding their program with the Na. tional Anthem. Folldwing this concert was a joint program by the Kilo-Watt Glee Club {of the Potomac Electric Power Co. and | the Columbia Symphony Mandolin Or- | chestra, divected by Sophocles T. Papas. with the glee club leading with two well sung selections of & popular nature, “Rolling Down to Rio” 2nd “Deep River.” Throughout the program of the glee club the work of J. K. Marshall, | tenor, was particularly noticeable in up- | holding the tenor section, as well as iving strength to the entive club, Mr. arshall later appeared in a solo num- ber, “Your Eyes Have Told Me So."| Harry J. Yeide proved a capable leader | and held his sometimes over-joyous club to moderate volume, which, in Oley Speaks' “Sylvia” was particularly en- Jjovable. Interspersed in each of these recitals | by the club and orchestra was a soprano | solo by Alma Harris, accompanied by | Estelle Wentworth; a tenor banjo and | mandolin duet by Herman von Berne- witz and Franklin C. Anderson, an ac- cordion solo by Rachel Storer, who also | provided piano accompaniment for the mandolin _orchestra. 1 The orchestra, under the direction of | Sophocles T. Papas, was then heard in | a group of selections which included two Russian folk songs. “Black Eyes” and “Polianka”; Gillette'’s “Au Moulin,” | Francke’s “Intermezzo,” and concluded with the march, “Zacatecas.” For the second part of their pro- gram the glee club chose a group -of selections from the Gilbert and Sulli- van score of “Pinafore,” which naturally included the buttercup’s singing and capering. Coupled with the Kipling- De Koven “Recessional,” the buttercup’s caperings were not brought into very much notice and consisted mainly of a quiet rendition by the club and H. W. Moiineau. hasso soloist. The club concluded with “Winter Song” and Dvorak’s “Goin’ Home.” J.N.H. | ALAN DINEHART TO WED OKLAHOMA CITY GIRL | By the Associated Press. LOS ANGELES.

Salary Cuts for Stars Again Urged—Perils of Screen Life Illustrated by Bickford. BY MOLLIE MERRICK. | HOLLYWOOD, Calif,, June 23 (N.A. N A).—Producers_have differing ideas about pictures. Harry Warner thinks stars are getting too much money, and that a readjustment of salaries will have to be made, with less going to| topnotchers and more to the lesser fry, thus equalizing the division of income. He said nothing at all about executives’ salaries, so far as I know. B. P. Schulberg thinks that there will | be a gradual increase in motion picture admission prices by Autumn. “With a revival of generzl trade, the present low theater prices cannot endure,” he declared. “Either a controlled inflation or & pick-up of business will result in higher theater prices. “The new product for next season will be diversified,” he said. “Cycles will never run to the extremes they did & few years ago when every one was making musical pictures or gang- ster films. Cycles will be avoided. My own pictures will strive for diversity of theme and true variety. The theater business was the last to feel the severity of depre: . ‘The box office is highly sensitive and is the first to reflect an improvement in mental condition of the public.” Hollywood's best dressed extras have to exhibit more than extensive ward- robes. They must be able to dance in any manner suggested by the atmos- phere of the script. It may be a modern New York night club. Or a waterfront dive. Or it may be an English ball. They must be able to dance in the manner of aristocrats or with the casual eccentricity of the modern toughlet. George Raft recently commented on | the perfect response Hollywood's trained extras can give to the demands of a director when it comes to a diversity | of dancing. I can't resist this account of a film | ctor's troubles as sent to me by the studio: | “Charles Bickford labors at present,” the account runs, “with a body that is black and blue with bruises and a voice that is reduced to a husky whisper, and yet the public still claims that a film actor’s life is a bed of roses. “The punishment came as the result of a role he is playing in Cecil B. De Mille's ‘This Dx and Age’ As a| racketeer he is kidnaped by hundreds of schoolboys, who bind and gag him | with adhesive tape and lower him by a rope tied under his armpits into a pit | of -rats until he confesses to a murder. “Working under hot lights, the tape | became securely fastened to his wrists and across his face, and it was only with the loss of considerable skin that | it was removed on several occasions. Dangling in the pit with the rope around his_chest his lungs were con- stricted. Despite the handicap, the script required that many of his lines had to be shouted, which went on for hours on end. It meant a strain on the vocal chords and throat muscles m‘lm the Jungs could not function ully. “The result was an almost total loss of voice and a rasp which came in handy for some of the scenes, but which put him out of the running until he could be doctored to resume his work in the picture. Besides this, the chafing of the rope and the man-handiing by a mob of several hundred boys necessitated the nightly ! arnica. iodine, what have you." What! No deviltry from the rats> Now just how did my exhilarating narrator of these experiences overlook that chance for & thriller? 1933, by or (Copyright ming IN CRYSTAL WATER POOL AND DANCING IN THE Spanish Garden With Orch. of Fifteen S Bathe at Chapel Point These Hot Days Salt Water Sandy Beach COOL PICNIC GROVE Daily Bus Excursion Leaves 10 A.M.
