So she runs out on him, and takes refuge for the moment in the room of Marvin Payne (Stewart), head of the two-plane air cargo line, with Bullets Baker (Albert) as partner and copilot. Her entrance arouses Marvin from sleep.

She gives him a fake name and simply tells him that she is fleeing from trouble and needs to hide for a time. She doesn't reveal the nature of the trouble, nor does he insist on knowing. He advises her to go home; when she declines to do so, he gives her his bedroom and tries to find rest on a couch. Discovery of her presence by the hotel manager and by Bullets, find ing that she has taken an overdose of sleeping tablets, circumstances that oblige the reluctant Marvin to take her with three other persons, besides Bullets, on the plane to California, Dee Dee's sly winning of his love in spite of himself and his suspicion that she is an em bezzler, and some rather jolting developments, make for a hectic experience for the quiet, conventional Marvin.

BOB SINGS "BUTTONS AND BOWS' HILLBILLY HIT OF THE YEAR1 'alefacef OWE Jtne 45, This Paper Gene RAYMOND i i. PAULL-LEDtRIR TFT Year's Dramatic Triumph! sd USSR ft: I HI rmnwmmw p. i If By Leinsdorf Acclaimed By NORMAN NAIRN pRICH LEINSDORF 'S lineup of musical fare for the Philharmonic Orchestra's concert at the Eastman last night surely had variety enough for any one, from Bach church cantata excerpts, through the drama of Tschaikowsky's Sixth Symphony, to the intriguing rhythms of Wal ter Piston and Don Gillis. And all of it was applauded heartily.

Major work, of course, was the Tschaikoweky so called "Pathe- tique Symphony, a name sug gested by the composer's brother Modeste. although probably "Trag ic" or "Dramatic" would better be suited. As Tschaikowsky completed the work, his last composition, he wrote his publisher how happy and satisfied he was with it, regarding it as the "most sincere of all my works. It was finished only a jfew weeks before the composer's death. When performed first in Octo- 1893, the audience was cold and unreceptive, but today it is one of his most popular composi tions.

It is music to which one cannot remain neutral, with its many extraordinary celebrated features the poignant second subject of the first movement, the cheerful second movement in the unusual rhythm of five beats to measure, the march-like third movement. Tschaikowsky substituted this compelling march of heroic pro-; portions for the usual third-movement scherzo, a march of unswerving pace, compelling impact, with a barbaric, triumphant close in a blaze of brilliant orchestration. Leinsdorf's reading which had no or distorted tempi, proved again that a faithful interpretation of Tschaikowsky still is among the most satisfying of musical experiences. For here were brought out the rich orchestral colors, the melancholy and dramatic melodies, the directness and thrust of the familiar music. Three Sinfonias from Church Cantatas by Bach, as transcribed by Leinsdorf, and in first performance by the Philharmonic, opened the program.

Bach regarded music essentially as a religious experience, devoting his life to enrichment of the Lutheran services. From the total of 295 complete cantatas which he wrote covering a period of five years, for every Sunday and special holy days, Leinsdorf chose the Sinfonias to the Number 174, 'Tis God Who Possesseth My Heart's Deep Af fection;" to the ICumber 18, ''Like as the Showers and Snow from Heaven Fall," and to the Number 29, "We Thank Thee, God." Actually the Number 174 is Bach's transcription of the first movement of his Third Branden burg Concerto, while the Number 29 is Bach's transcription of the Prelude to his Partita in major for unaccompanied violin. The transcriptions of Leinsdorf were in proper atmosphere, although it must be confessed that the middle one was a bit soporific. When Walter Piston's ballet "The Incredible Flutist" was performed first in 1938 it was con sidered extremely modern. Today it is mild compared with some of the ultramodern American output.

One of today's leading native composers. Piston, winner of the 1948 Pulitzer Prize "for musical composition, for many years has been teaching at Harvard Univer sity, currently being the first to hold the new Naumburg Profes sorship of Music. Although last night's, perform ance of the "Flutist" -was the first for the Philharmonic, it has been presented both as ballet and suite in Eastman School Festivals. Pi quant and program music, it is charming and individual, offering, as one would expect, opportunity for Uncommon lovely flute playing by Joseph Mariano. Rounding out the evening, an.d another first, were three sections of Don Gillis' Suite "Portrait of a Frontier Town," entitled "Chamber of Commerce," "'Where the West Begins" and "Main Street Satur day Night." These are the personal itactions of Gillis, now an NBC production director, to the sights, sounds and emotions roused by the Texas scene, where he was graduated from Texas Christian University, later for seven years a member of its faculty.

Easy listening, this contrastingly gay and quiet, cow boy tunes of course, written at tractively. 4 Rita Johnson Signed For Picture with Estelle Taylor By LOUELLA O. PARSONS Hollywood (INS) Gossips who have whispered that Rita Johnson never would work again, will have red faces when she reports for her first job since her mysterious injury. Next Monday she will start work on Larry Finley's television-on-film picture, "Tailored Lady," with Estelle Taylor in the other top role. Miss Johnson has been fitting her wardrobe for the role of a mannequin.

If she were still as ill as some people declare, long hours of fittings would have been impossible. As far as the police are concerned, what happened to Miss Johnson is a closed case. She still says that she cannot recall what brought on the near-fatal head injury. Jane Wyman, who has a real fan yen for Alfred Hitchcock as a director, will go to work for him in "Man Running," his first picture under his new contract at Warners. She is so excited about this that she is.

This Rampart comedy owes its effectiveness to the situation, bor rowed from a Robert Carson serial story, to the expert treatment of scenes by Scripter-Producer Karl Tunberg and Director H. C. Potter and to the acting of an admirable cast headed by James Stewart, Joan Fontaine and Eddie Albert. Miss Fontaine, who usually appears in dramas, reminds us here that she has decided talent as comedienne. She displays again, as she did in "The Affairs of Susan," a keen comedy sense, and she turns in a clever comedy sketch, done smoothly and with tiptop shading and accent.

Her Dee Dee Dillwood, uncertain and blundering. esDeciallv in romance till she meets Marvin Payne is a capital! comedy figure. Of course, the comedy abilities of Stewart and Albert are more easily recalled, having been shown much more recently. The dry and drawl ing Stewart ticks off the humorous points without fail all along the line, and he is an excellent foil for Miss Fontaine. Albert is somewhat of the glib type, and his reading and pantomime are a match for those of his costars.

Wiilaro Parker turns in an admirable ketch of a stuffy fellow, Percy TCilhrirlo adds variety with his brand of comedy a a farmer again Porter Hall is right as a nervous embezzler overcome by his conscience when a baby is placed in his arms, and Marcy McGuire, Edith Evanson and others contribute well. Dee Dee (Miss Fontaine), the world's wealthiest orphan, is unable to make decisions and stick to them, especially in romance. Correct, eminently proper Henry Ben son (Parker) probably would be nice as a husband, she thinks, so she marries him.
