It is debatable whether any mu- sial community is above the neces- sity of hearing, from time to time, an entire program of one composer’s works. So quickly does the individual think of the particular compositions which appeal to him, that the entire scope of the composer’s talent is lost sight of. Nothing better shows the rise and fall of his inspiration or, as in Mozart's case, its continual fresh- ness than hearing the things that were written at different periods and under different circumstances. For the opportunity to broaden one’s con- ceptions and solidify one’s ideas, the concert public should be grateful to Dr. Kindler for his presentation occa- sionally of a program all from one pen, period or country. Greater Veneration. The choice of numbers yesterday was so indivisibly connected with the life of Mozart that involuntarily the thought was directed to pictorial- which he lived, and, as final conse- quence, to & greater veneration for his genius. And a further thought could not but intrude, a marveling at the manner in which he met his difi- culties with vigor, untarnished bright- ness and inexhaustible richmess of ideas. The first two numbers, “Der Schauspieldirektor,” written by order of the Emperor for a festival at court, and the “Maurerische Trauermusik,” written for two deceased members of the Masonic order in which Mozart was active, represents his duties toward society; the “Concerto in D Minor,” composed for the first of a series of six comterts he was giving in vienna, his personal career, and the “Symphony in C Major,” the “Jupiter,” his devotion to his family and the need of providing for them. “Der Schauspieldirektor” and the “Maurerische Trauermusik” are in moods as wide apart as the poles, yet they depict the very essence of Mozart's talent for gayety or sorrow in music. Small morsels, both of them, in comparison to the concerto or symphony, but written with the same care and completeness. Miss Hess in her superb playing proved herself as fine a Mozart scholar as a Brahms. Through her technical presentation she seems to lift up the intrinsic meaning of the music to the light in such a manner LANK BOOK You get variety and volue here. See our big stock. E.

Miss Hess is an authoritative artist, yet her posi- tiveness is hidden under the wealth of beauty it is her gift to discover in all she undertdkes. Five or six times she was recalled by the enthusiasm Dr. Kindler with her and insisting the orchestra share the ovation for it prominent part in her success.

From all appearances the forthcoming production of Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can't Happen -Here” will be something of an event. Response from the town’s theatergoers has been so handsome that the group has extended its usual five-performance schedule to & full week for the Lewis play, with eight performancese. slated. There is bound to be con- siderable interest, of course, in a play with a history like the mry of “It Can't Happen Here.” Adapted to the stage from Lewis’ thought-provoking novel, the play at- tracted the attention of’ Hollywood at the time when “Fury” and some lesser cinema works had the movie moguls conscious of the fact they were a social force and could crusade. So somebody paid cash on the line for movie rights to “It Can’t Happen Here.” Then the lad who bought the play looked again at the picture of what America might become if a Fascist dictator ever should succeed in be- coming elected to the presidency, looked at his foreign market and threw his hands in the air and the script in the bottom drawer. Holly- wood makes too much money outside of the United States to take a chance on insulting anybody outside of the United States, and there are Fascist governments. So America will see “It Can't Hap- pen Here” through W. P. A. and “lit- tle” theater productions. It is reported that Lewis himself hopes to attend the Civic Theater production. The group is using his personal script and Day Tuttle has had long conferences with him by telecphone. He considers the pro- duction before audiences in the Na- tion’s Capital one of the most impor- tant his play has had. “It Can't Happen Here" opens its local playing on inauguration night, incidentally, when the whole country will have its mind on politics and Presidents. It's scheduled to run from the 20th through January 26. * k¥ X 'HARLOTTE TILLEY returns to the Pierce Hall Players after an absence of a number of seasons to play the feminine lead in “Death | Takes a Holiday,” the story of Death’s attempt to find out why mortals fear him, which will be produced by the group this month. Miss Tilley, who will play Grazia, the role originally created on the stage by Rose Hobart, will be remembered for her work in Barrie's “Quality Street” and “To Have the Honor” with the Pierce Hall group. Frank Gaunt will follow Philip Merivale (stage) and Fredric March (screen) in the role of Death. Others are Gretchen Greer, Otto Ruhling, William Austin Davis, Felice Lloyd, Esma Maybe, Milton F. Brewster, Carol Hogan, Herbert Smith, Harry A. Hewitt and Carl Pribek. “Death Takes a Holiday” is being directed by Ina L. Hawes, who staged “The Scarecrow” for the same group. The production is scheduled tenta- tively for January 18 and 19. * k¥ X DA‘I TUTTLE, director of the Washington Civic Theater, will speak on “The Present-Day Theater” ‘Wednesday evening at 8:30 o'clock at the Jewish Community Center.

It is unfortunate that Mr. Nardi has made the accompaniments so elaborate, for such pianistic back- ground for the simple music of the people destroys its value as folk music. ‘Throughout the program the accom- paniments lacked variety, the same figure being used over and over again with occasionally a modification of the elaborate treatment. The first group contained four tra- | ditional medieval poems, the first an ancient prayer of the Jews of Persia, the second a medieval Spanish-Jewish poem' sung to an old Yemenite tune, the third a Yemenite melody with the poem of Shalom Shabazi, famous Yemenite Hebrew poet of the seven- Miss Zfirah Delights In Folk Music Recital at Press Club Benefit for Pioneer Palestine Women.

She is young | jand of the more Oriental type of | beauty, her hands, which she uus{ constantly, unusually expressive, ldd‘ much to her facial expression in the interpreting of the various moods in | the songs.

Added to the graphic interpretation of the songs were the | fascinating costumes which she wore | | which would have been enhanced had | she been before a plainer background. | Program Announced. There were no printed programs, which Mrs. Rebecca Bugatch, who was in charge, announced was due to the congested holiday mail conditions, thus what was intended to be the program was in reality only advertising. So the program was announced from the stage with the explanatory notes for each number. Miss Zfirah was assisted at the piano by Nachum Nardi, who not only has written accompaniments for the folk our Eyes M. A.

With an array of popular “names” pro- vided with ample opportunity to score, the Independent Burlesque Associa- tion can chalk up this unit as among the season’s best. ‘Two of the ablest funny men now touring the circuit, “Peanuts” Bohn and Billy Arlington, keep the cus- tomers in a continuous state of hilar- ity as long as either has the stage. Each offers several completely amus- ing scenes, and, of course, “Peanuts” adds that shuffling specialty that he is invariably expected to do. Capable and important aid is furnished by Straight Men Herman Ferber and Bob Bates, with the former also giv- ing forth in song. Ferber has a fine tenor voice. His rendition of “Along ‘Tobacco Road” is the show's high point. Dorothy Ahearn takes top billing on the feminine side, & smiling charmer, conversant with the fine points of her peculiar art, she merits the position, though Evelyn Cushway comes a very close second. The hard- est-working young lady in the line-up, however, is Inez Marvin.
