Fallon was one cf the most suc- cessful mystery plays ever to be seen on Broadway. It was staged from the book, “The House gf Fear,” by Wadsworth Camp, The motion ple- ture was based on the play. All the ingredients of mystery !-me been jammed into the photo- ay. Mystery and terror which \rlm.' forth screams from the audi- ence and, laughter—not the laughter that a farce comedy produces—but fhe almost hysterical laughter o highly keyed nerves stimulated by relief from a fearful situation. The vaudeville program has five splendid acts with “Rah Rah Tom- my” a miniature musical comedy farce with a cast of seven rirls; Bach Sisters and Co. in “Equili- brism;” Carlena Diamond, the danc- ing harpiste supreme; Marshall Montgamery and Co. in “Foreign Waters;” and Claude and Clarence | Stroud “Aristocrats of the Stage.” Beginning Sunday the 8trand witt offer popular Dolores Del Rio in for four days. KOUSSEVITSKY AND SOTOJSTS Soloists were once as customary with the Boston Symphony orchesfra as with most other orchestras, When Koussevitsky came to America to be | the Boston S8ymphony conductor, ht‘; began by laying this tradition on the | shelf. Soloists were not to be en- gaged simply for the sake of hav- | ing soloists, but only when required | by some scorc of symphonic inter- est which contained a solo part. The great concertos, of, say Beethoven or Brahms, had of course a legiti- | mate place in the orchestral rcpvr-‘ tory, and called for a famous vir- | tn0so to play them with the orches- tra. An occasional modern score has solo voices; or a contemporary con- certo of interest is written by such composers as Stravinsky, Prokokiefr. “cspighi, Tansman, Tailleferre, and >sc have appeared as guests of | the orchestra in first performances | of their acores. But a Boston Sym- phony concert remains in everv case a symphony programme, and does not lapse, in the middle, into a recital, The orchestra led by Mr. Kousse- vitzky is the soloist. No soloists were announced in advance for Koussevitzky's first season, nor have any been announced for any season since. The innovation has been justified by the absence of any ap- parent regret on the part of the audiences. And symphonic Interest | and amplitade of the programs has been enriched accordingly. The Hartford concert is Feb. 3rd, a week from next Sunday. Ticket sale at Britain store, Main street.
