Hearn's Studio Tarantelle in A Minor Dennce John Hastings Chopin Junior Music Club RACHMANINOFF AND HREISLER ARE NOT RADIO ARTCONVERTS Of all the great and near great In the world of music and entertainment the only artists whom the radio impresarios have never been able to bring to the microphone are Fritz Kreisler, Sergei Rachmaninoff and Ignace Paderewskl.

You may have heard recordings of tho three on tne air but you have never heard them broadcast in person and It is possible that you never will. Fritz Kreisler Is the No. 1 musical of the world. He was once offered and a million dollars for thirteen Pweeks on the air, and has had many other lesser but large offers. Sergei Rachmaninoff is No.

2 musical attraction of the world. He has had dozen of offers, one approaching a million. Both aren't even interested In radio (1) because they feel it can't do justice to their art, (2) because they refuse to commercialize theli- art under sponsors, and (3) because they are wealthy anyway, and money isn't important. Perhaps a more potent consideration in the case of both Kreisler and Rachmaninoff is their that on the radio they have lost control of their performances to the men in the control room. They feel that they, and they alone, certaroly an insignificant radio operator, can properly interpret their playing.

Having heard others on the radio, they think the loud speaker does "hot reproduce a rendition faithful to the MONA MEIER NELSON For the Texas centennial, Texans will have a truly singable song with words dignified enough to verify the title, "For Texas," and "a decidedly awlngy march rhythm. The song, dedicated to the centennial, was written by Mona Meier (Mrs. Bentley) Nelson of Wichita Falls. The tune has also been used by pep squads of the Wichita Falls high school, under the name of the "Coyote Call." The specially designed title page, drawn by Robert Vlgus, also is In keeping with the cen- with Its poster-like draw- of the Alamo and its present background. "For Texas" is on sale by all Texas music dealers.

In 1933 the Cleveland symphony sponsored its firat opera, presented by a cast of local singers supplemented by guest stars In the leading roles. The success of this effort resulted in the presentation of a. series of six operas last year. The 1935 season, which opened with Greta Stueckgold and Lotte Lehman In "Der Rosenkavalier," comprises four operas.

Detroit and Cincinnati symphony orchestras have put the plan into effect with success and other cities are contemplating similar programs since the Metropolitan has confined its season in late years to New York. BROADWAY NIGHTS Copyright. 1035. Feature Inc. By CLARK KINNAIBD original.

Pistol shots and screams are ringing out upon the hour, matinees and evenings. Two rattling good mystery melodramas are being spread before the drama gluttons and gourmets, providing some froth and frills for a fare that haa been run- running rather excessively vitamins.

"Blind Alley," a melodrama Charles Laughton which arrived with the autumn leaves, appeared destined to be the hit thriller of the season, after introducing Roy Hargrave as a topnotch make-believe gangster. Now Mr. Hargrave has melted his greasepaint Into Ink and wrltter "A Room in Red and White," which should be making spines twitch until the political conventions make It difficult for the other actors to hold attention. Sets Add to Effect It's the artfully constructed tale of a mother and son who murder their mad husband and father and then send the structure of their "perfect crime" tumbling about them. It's mindful of "Payment Deferred," that masterful melodrama which introduced Charles Laughton to and should likewise serve the fortune of Leslie Adams, the dumb husband of "Goodbye Again" and the comedy foil of "As Thousands Cheer," who Is the restrained madman of this play.

It shouldn't be surprising when an actor heretofore identified with comedy roles emerges as a first rate actor In melodrama or tragedy, but Adams provides a thrill as unexpected as Charles Laughton suddenly becoming the high comedy butler in "Ruggles of Red Gap." The same trick is turned by Crystal Hernc, the murderous mother of this piece, who, like Adams, switches from the ridiculous to the sublime without difficulty. Their artistry is made easier by the mood In- most golf course designer in the country, expired In the early 1930's. He's so effective and amusing In "I Want a Policeman" that we're glad It happened. He rather overshadows the Weldon Heyburn, who is playing hookey from the movies. "Granite," the play by Clomence Dane, who did well by the theater with "A Bill of Divorcement" and "Will Shakespeare," which Is making a second bid for New York's affections, Isn't likely to have any more success this time.

Next to "A Room in Red and White," the most exciting event of the week, at least to this correspondent, was the arrival on these shores of Rene Clair, who Is so good a movie director that even the author of his latest hit, "The Ghost Goes West," gives him all the credit for It! Robert E.

Sherwood, who rests up from doing hit plays for the stage such as "The Reunion in Vienna" and "The Petrified Forest" by tossing off scripts for the movies, volunteers: "Of all the movie directors I know or have observed, Clair Is unquestionably and far away the best story teller. He is Frank Capra and Robert Riskin in one. Although I am given credit for the screen play of "The Ghost Goes West," I am compelled to admit that It was really written by Rene Clair. My assistance wan nevessary because when we started work on this story a year ago, Clair's knowledge of English consisted almost exclusively of 'Please? 1 and 'O.

His "A Room in Red and White" seems to us to be more worthy of salutes than that over-praised scene provided by his brother designer and producer, Norman Bel Geddes, for "Dead End." The Hargrave play rates the preference among mystery fans to "I Want a Policeman." by Rufus King and Milton Lazarus, another variation of the formula which has the aged millionaire killed mysteriously before your eyes in the first scene.
