"AMUSEMENTS." “Roberta” to Be Held at Keith’s for Fred Astaire and Other Fourth Week Players of Musical Film Are Making Something of a Cinema Record on Fifteenth Street. BY E. de S. MELCHER. ARDIE MEAKIN, leaning out of his Keith’s office window yesterday and twisnng his mustache with young Spring enthusiasm, said to Helen Hayes (which happens to be the name of his good-looking secretary): thousand persons already have “One hundred seen ‘Roberta’,” and with that he sighed, looked wistfully over at the Treasury Building and added, “Now, then, what shall we do about it?” “Hold ‘Roberta’ over,” answered Lieut. Sorkin, just in from rolls and coffee, bouncing onto the scene with that athletic vigor which marks all| Lieut. Sorkin’s doings. “Yes,” people have seen it already, why wouldn’t 100,000 more people see it?” “Very true,” said Mr. Meakin. “How many people saw Their Last Yacht'?” asked Mr. Sorkin whimsical “Oh, don’t!"” said Mr. Meakin. could you. Sol? “I only meant that 100,000 didn't see ‘Down to Their Last Yacht’ and that if you total up the number of people who did see it while it played here, and if you to remind average that up with ‘Roberta’ why | then you'll see why ‘Roberta’ should not only be held over a fourth week, but possibly all year. “Very true.” said Mr. Meakin again patting the back of his curly head with enthusiasm. “Well, then,” said Mr. glancing into an office filled with coin taken from eager “Roberta” patrons, “let’s hop to it.” “0. K. said Mr. Meakin, looking down excitedly at the line which stretched to the box office and which revealed seven Bethesda neighbors ripping out their dollars with un- paralleled speed, “let's hop to it.” ‘Whereupon wires flew to New York, Hardie Meakin flew to the typewriter, Mr. Sorkin flew to his office and Miss Helen Hayes flew into a good humor. For—if vou nold a film over for a fourth week—something very much out of the ordinary in moving picture cir- cles—there is to be done rather than more. New “readers” don't have to be ripped cut to cranky dramatic offices sayinz that “Sister Zileh will appear Friday in the best role of her career, in the best picture of the geason, directed by the best director who won four Lrizes from the academy for doing something or other.” “Ads’ guaranteed to outdo all the rival *ads” in town don't have to be staked out.

The Troubadours of George Wash- | ington University last night opened a | three-day run of “Bride of the Incas,” | the current edition of their annual musical comedy, in the auditorium of Roosevelt High School. The production is lavishly and tastefully staged. The settings, de- signed by Katherine Cutler and W. Cyril Flannery, are the most effective ingredient in the entire operetta. | Their simplicity of line and completely attractive composition provide a real treat for the eyes. The costumes of the participants also are colorfully pleasing. Being a musical comedy, “Bride of the Incas” has music, but it hasn't anything to account for the other half of the classification. It has also & plot—a plot that was taken from | the dustiest back volume in the files. It is about that girl who gets abducted by the nasty Incas and is saved from being the sacrifice to the sun-god by a Frank Merriwell hero who gallops on the scene just as the knife point is about to reach home. There are a lot of other peaple, too—Americans, Peruvians and Incas—who mostly | sing the songs of the piece and oc- casionally move the plot along an- | other step. The singing is most effective when | | done by the entire group, composed | | principally of the men's and women's glee clubs of the university. Marion Folsom displays in her solo numbers a lyrical jvolce which lacks nothing | but volume. Richard Hill, playing op- posite her, does his singing roles in a satisfactory manner. Amanda Chit- | tum, Louise Erk, Randolph Hughes, | Fred Stevenson, Austin Gattis and | | Edward Stevlingson are others who | | have leading roles. | Other features of the show are the dancing chorus, directed by Helen ' Bealke, doing several routines with precision, and specialty dance num- bers done by Ruth Critchfield and by Miss Bealke and Mr. Stevlingson. Piano accompaniment is furnished by Eleanor Hulbert and Rudolph Moeller. The operetta will be repeated tonight and tomorrow night at Rooseveli High School. H. M.

AMUSEMENTS. Music Teachers Honor Memory of BY ALICE EVERSMAN. March meeting of the Wash- ington Music Teachers’ Asso- ciation took place last evening at the home of Mrs. Edwin B. Parker. Mrs. Hugo Hessel- bach, president, opened the business | meeting. Miriam Hilton outlined the general plans of the April and May | meetings, the final one to take the form of a dinner. Mary Howe gave a brief talk on the progress of the National Sym- phony drive for its sustaining fund, acknowledging the generosity of the ‘Teachers' Association in its contribu- tions as well as the individual and group donations. More than half the fund has been already subscribed and the extension of the time limit of the drive was decided upon in order to permit all the returns to be received. ‘The musical program which fol- lowed was designed in memory of Ernest Lent, so long and constructive- ly allied with the musical life of Washington. The artists were Sylvia Lent, violinist,- who was accompanied by La Salle Spier; Alice FPinckel, pianist, and John Alden Finckel, cellist, Mrs. Hesselbach gave a short sum- mary of Mr. Lent's musical career in which he gained recognition as cellist and composer. Several of her per- sonal reminiscences of Mr. Lent add- =d an interesting touch to her address Mrs. Hesselbach suggested that the first part of the program be dedi- cated to Mrs. Lent, well-known pian- ist and teacher, who so actively as- sisted Mr. Lent in building up the musical circles of Washington and | who abandoned her own successful career to devote herself to that of her daughter, Sylvia. Miss Lent opened the program with Vitali’s “Chaconne,” followed by two short pieces, “Album Blaetter,” by her father, and the “Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso.” by Saint- Saens. For the second part she | played Ernest Lent's “Trio, Op. 1, which was written in his early days | in Leipzig. Alice Finckel was at the | piano and John Alden Finckel had | the cello part. | A lovely tone, pure and untar- | nished, and a firm, brilliant tech- | nique have brought Miss Lent inter- | national fame, and yesterday the per- s __ WHERE TO DINE.

FLOOR SHOWS at 8 and 12 LEON BRUSILOFF'S ORCHESTRA 15th and New York Ave Ernest Lent fection of her equipment seemed em- phasized in this particular program. | Each phrase and musical idea were clearly defined with smooth inter- relation and warm feeling. The trio by her father is a well co-ordinated work, rich in thematic material and skilfully constructed. Its four move- ments are built up with fine pro- gression which retains the interest, not only by its workmanship, but also by its musical content. Aiding Miss Lent in a sympathetic interpreta- tion was the superior playing of Mr. and Mrs. Finckel. At the end of the program the audi- ence stood to especially honor Mrs. Lent, who was present.
