AMUSEMENTS Sylvia Sidney Cast Again In Hunted Woman Role But She Is Gay in Cha t With Drama Writers After Screening of Her atest BY JAY C. Film. ARMODY. YLVIA SIDNEY, who has traveled through more miles of grief-laden film than any other motion picture actress you can think of off-hand, kept local drama reporters more noon. That is not to imply that But she could not have caused much white horse. It was along about 2 p.m. that anreeling Miss Sidney’s latest film. Ite is called “You Only Live Once,” and 1f you have to live through what Miss Bidney does, that's too often. Walter Wanger has made a potent drama, but ® sad one, out of the story of what society, in its righteousness, can do to two very nice persons. Miss Sidney s one of them. TImmediately after the screening the | sudience was rushed to the Variety | Club. There a battery of telephones | awaited the ambassadors of the local | drama desks, who were given a grand | total of 10 minutes in which to inter- | view Miss Sidney, who presumably was | seated in her comfortable Hollywood home. She was jittery and so were they, as you might expect long-dis- tance extemporaneous speakers to be. The interview, however, developed that: Miss Sidney is against capital pun- {shment. (She ought to be, after what it does to her husband and herself in her latest film.) She would like to come to Wash- ington. She used to come here, but that was in the days before any one had seen her on the screen, and while the visits mattered to Miss Sidney, they did not to any one else. How- ever, she is coming again some time. She, too, likes her new picture. More- over she thinks the woman character she interpreted in it is one of the most extreme sufferers she ever por- trayed. She enjoyed playing with Henry Fonda, cast as her husband in *“You Only Live Once.” (She should have. Fonda’s good in one of those somber, angry parts that are perfect for good actors, but funny if the interpretation | is inadequate.) Immediately after the interview Miss Sidney went back to her bridge, or whatever she was doing when the phone rang, while the drama reporters went on the air to answer Hardie | Meakin's questions. As for “You Only Live Once,” until Saturday it shall be dismissed with the statement that it is grim, remorse- less drama that should make society pretty well ashamed of itself for some of the mistakes it makes. than ordinarily busy yesterday after Miss Sidney was in town. She was not. more furore had she ridden in on a R-K-O Keith's Hardie Meakin began BECAUSE Saturday is President Roosevelt’s birthday anniversary and Hollywood is sending several of its brightest stars to his local party, Warner Bros' Earle and Loew's Capital Theaters are going to com- bine their stage shows into one huge something - or - other. Rob- ert Taylor, Jean Harlow and Joe E. Brown will make personal appear- | ances at the special performances at both theaters. Traffic should be pretty congested in the vicinity of Thirteenth and Fourteenth, E and F streets as the seven acts and special stars start dashing back and forth between the two theaters. The Earle acts on the unusual pro= gram, which will start at 11:45 p.m. at both theaters, will include Harry Reser and his orchestra, Paul Gerrits, the Keene Twins and Vic and Lamar. The Capitol will contribute Eleanor Holm Jarrett and Husband Art, Harry Burns and his company, Ross Wyse, jr., and Jane Marion, and the Honey Troupe.

Phillips Memorial Gallery. HE second candlelight concert of the Washingzon Chamber Music Society at the Phillips Memorial Gallery brought to- gether once more the group of warm admirers of the Pro Musica String Quartet, the members of which are: Bernhard Robbins and Jeno Sevely, violins; Hendrick Essers, viola, and Bidney Hamer, violincello. The program yesterday was made up | of two classic and one modern com- position, the latter being Weiner's “Quartet in E Flat, Op. 4.” Mr. Welner \ is successful in suggesting a defimtu idea and clothing this with a peculiar | | coloring of tone through harmony, aptly suggestive of the mood. The | best work done by the group yesterday | afternoon was in Andante espressivo | of the “Quartet,” composed a quarter of a century ago and not too modern in idiom to be followed with interest. Each of the four instrumentalists in turn had an opportunity for a display of a cantabile tone and individualism. ‘The players availed themselves of this opportunity to good advantage. Mozart’s limpid “Quartet in D" for flute, violin, viola and cello, with the assistance of Harold Bennett, flutist, acquainted one with a work rarely performed. The clear tone of the flute, while not very flexible for the require- ments of Mozart's style, blended well | with the other instruments. ‘The effect of the performance yes- terday was, on the whole, less satisfy- ing than that of the first concert this season. 1t seemed to lack sufficient preparaticn. True it is, the players| evidenced fire and abandon as here- tofore, too recklessly, perhaps, this time, and too roughly to be always watchful of the esthetic side of the music and of the nuance. The artists deserve a great deal of credit, however, for introducing a variety of chamber music works and found their reward in the generous ap- plause of the audience. The concert opened with Haydn’s “Quartet in F Minor, Op. 20, No. 5,” and gave one mare evidence of a good ensemble. —E. de 8. e FLAW MOVIE FILMED AS THEATER CONTEST By the Assoclated Press.

'HE Savoyards continue to delight audiences and at the same time amaze them a bit with the verve and adorn the famed Gilbert and Sulli- van operas. of the D'Oyly Carte Opera Co. step upon the stage the turn in a per~ formance so fresh and enthusiastic it's hard to believe they have played the same piece many times before in exactly the same way down to the last word and gesture. Last night at the National they again occupied themselves with “The Gondoliers,” that sprightly tale of a pair of lads who almost became a king and a bigamist until the right “The Gondo- liers” may not be the best known of the Gilbert and Sullivan operas, but | it certainly is one of the pleasantest. Its libretto is rich with good hu- mor—good humor that is broad and patent nonsense and good humor that The wit of “The Gondoliers,” like the wit of other Gil- bert and Sullivan works in the Savoy- timely today as it ever was, because Gilbert wrote timeless humor, for any day and not just for his own. The music of Sullivan, too, is timeless and timely. It's lilting and pleasant and in just the proper gay mood to make “The Gondoliers” the bright frolic it is. ‘The Savoyards perform it, of course, th esame way they perform every- thing else they do—just about as | near perfectly as Gilbert and Sulli- van can be performed. The individual hits of “The Gondoliers” seem to be Sydney Granville, the pompous grand inquisitor, and Martyn Green, who has as gay a time playing his roles as the audience does watching him. Brenda Bennett, Sylvia Cecil, Mar- jorie Eyre, Evelyn Gardiner, John Dean, Derek Oldham and Leslie Rands are others who contribute much that —H.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN. b VEN in this day when aftists aim at bringing an original outlook to their performances, it is an event to meet one who is so completely at the peak of his art that he can make it do his will in the superlative achievement of recreating the spiritual essense of an immortal musician’s great thoughts. This is the sum and substance of the playing of Rudolph Serkin, the pianist who has aroused the music public of this country as it has seldom been stirred and who, -,- together with Ginette Neveu, French | violinist, was introduced locally yes- terday at the Mayflower morning con- cert. Any artist worthy of the name brings & highly developed technique to his | presentations. This was also to be expected from the reports that fol- | lowed Mr. Serkin's concert tour in this country, but what no review can fully describe is his magnificent pene- tration into the very heart of the music and the many individual ways he has discovered of making his knowledge known to his listeners. Yes- terday the apex of Mr. Serkin's art was reached in his interpretation of the Beethoven “Sonata in C Major, Op. 53,” known as the “Walstein” sonata. Performance Inspiring. So superbly planned an interpreta- tion has seldom been heard, for from the beginning to the end one followed, absorbed the revelation of the inner meaning of that work as Mr. Serkin carried the thread unbroken through the three movements. And how lovely and inspiring it was. The themes spoke with a new intonation at each repetition, the nuances as expressive in their place as though words ac- companied them. A feat of rare com- prehension was his manner of making the Introduzione a real introduction to the lovely Rondo of the finale, whicn in itself was a masterpiece of tonal beauty. His gift of sensing the proper tonal changes and the originality he brought into each recurrence of the same phrase was based on an unusu- ally clear and profound analysis cou- pled with an exuberant giving way to the influence of his artistic feeling. ©On the technical side, he is dy- namic and authoritative with steel- like fingers that griup the chords with crisp power or soften for the purling flow of fleet passages. All these characteristics entered into his playing of the other numbers on his program, Brahms' “Two Intermezzi, Op. 119,” Mendelssohn's “Rondo Ca- priccioso,” three etudes from the twelve of Chopin’s Opus 25 and his “Polonaise in A Flat Major.” As superbly as was the presentation of these numbers, he never quite reached, however, the same height of spiritual understanding which glorified his per- formance of Beethoven. Violinist’s Tone Sonorous. Equally interesting in her way was the appearance of Miss Neveu, a vio- linist, young in years but mature in musical perception. The time is ripe for another great woman violinist and it seems that Miss Neveu is des- tined to fill that need. She is a musical personality, with all that that implies of poise, artistic feeling and mechanical fitness. Her tone is sonorous and powerful, directed by a splendidly developed bow arm, while her intelligent appreciation of musical values is warmly colored hy her youth- ful temperament.

Miss Neveu chose an .rduous pro- gram, yet she accomplished it without the least abating of glowing zeal or ’the brilliancy of technical display. | Her thoughtful rendering of Bach's | “Grave” and the Haendel-Flesh | “Priere” on one hand, her delicately subtle understanding of Szymanow- ski's “Nocturne” and Ravel's “Tzigane” and the broad sketching of the Tartini-Kreisler “Variations on a Theme by Corelli” and Brahms' “Hun- garian Dance” showed the remark- able adaptability of her musical na- ture. The young artist has but begun her career, yet already she is so out- standing as a violinist that one can imagine how her progress will enrich her chosen branch of music with the wealth of new thought and new feel- ing which she brings to her art. Ex- cellent accompaniments were provided for Miss Neveu by Wolfgang Rebner. The two dynamic personalities which Mrs. Townsend presented yes- terday keyed the audience up to a high pitch of appreciation and, al- though the program was a long one, the enthusiasm for the superb per formances never relaxed. Next Mon- day Gertrude Wettergren, contralto, and Lauritz Melchior, tenor, both cele- brated artists of the Metropolitan Opera, will be heard. Tennis Star Signs Up.

You will like thiy picture, provided your imagination is not too vivid. Person- ally, I was scared to death by the too realistic witchcraft sequences. Following my remarks in this col- umn that Charlie Chaplin was waver- ing in his plan to produce “Regency,” I have been gently taken to task by a friend of the comedian, who informs me that not only has Maj. R. V. C. Bodley completed the scenario in its first rough form, but that Chaplin has recently purchased two sound ma- chines, priced $13,000 each. Also that Charlie is trying to sign up Charles Laughton for the role of Prince Re- gent. In between these activities, Chaplin is said to be working on a story of his own life, in which he would like to appear on the screen. It will be interesting to see what— if anything—happens. Gracle Fields, highest-priced Eng- lish screen actress, recently signed to a four-picture contract by Twentieth Century-Fox, is rumored receiving from $300,000 to $500,000 per film. In spite of which, this department is doubtful of her success with American audiences. Miss Fields performs most of her comedy antics in Lancashire dialect.

Most of the other performers, includ- ing Joan Crawford, have held up pro- duction on the flu count. Some one asked Composer Oscar Levant whether the music of George Gershwin would be played 100 years from now. “Yes—if George is alive,” replied Levant.

'WO years ago, Frederic March was being acclaimed for his Limning in celluloid of one Jean Val- jean, haunted in his wanderings over the countryside by a persistent specter that is the law’s conception of justice. March’s sterling portrayal was achleved in the Twentieth Century picturization of Victor Hugo’s trench- ant novel, “Les Miserables,” being unreeled currently in a return en- gagement at the Little, and there arises no justification for altering the previous laudatory appraisal—the ac- tor has not eclipsed that performance. | With meticulous and quite un-| Hollywood care, Screen Writer W.
