Not only, has Dr. Beekman rend eritd distinguished service to tba band by his instructive and ilium luative digests oi tbe programs played, but be hat also rendered yeoman, service in arousing the, interest of tbe people of the com inanity in tbe concerts and. the values to be gained by attending tbcra. He is largely responsible for the 'fact that the makeup of tbe audiences has been changed by the elimination of large croups of ill bebavins jut' eniebr gwet' artrw aace of serious minded and ap preciative adults.

It has not been ceneratlv known that Miss Savage has not been head of the Center since June, having been succeeded bv Miss Gwendolyn Bennett, formerly assistant supervisor. The news comes as a distinct shock to scores of Haflemites and friends of Miss Savage who have believed that Miss Savage' is still head of the project At her home, SO West 124th street.

Miss Savage who is rvnrmed to her room sufiering from a breakdown. told a reporter from The New York Age, when asked to comment on the situation: "I'm sorry, but 1 have no comment" From other sources, it was learned, however, that Miss Savage was ousted as bead of the Art Center through "connivance and treachery of some of her subordinates she had considered her friends." It will be recalled that early this year Miss Savage received a commission to execute a sculpture group for the World's" Fair. At the time she was head of the Art Center and it is known that while she uns glad of the commission because of tbe prestige which it would bring to the Center and to the race, she was hesitant about accepting it for fear that something might go wrong at the Center. reared Loan of Standing Another reason for her reluctance was said to be the fact that she feared that if she were to apply for a leave of absence from the project sbc would kwe her high WPA rating. However, she accepted the commission at tbe World's Fair after Regional Director Audte McMahoo it said to have given her the assurance that such a leave, while not ordin arily granted, would be given in her Biggest Bcrcfh Fcr Actcrs GdH By WILLIAM I.

CLARK The first annual benefit for the I'tgTo Actors Guild, staged under the personal direction of Bill Rob inson at the Forty sixth Street Theatre last. Sunday night proved not only one of the greatest snows of the season but also ta be an other testimonial to the popularity of Harlem 'a most! outstanding personality. Bill himself. One of Robinson's best boasts is that he has' played more benefits than any other living star, and last week some of the organizations whom he had aided had an opportunity to show their appreciation, and did. The theatre was crowded, with the orchestra teats selling at $5 and $10 each.

la addition, Mr. Robinson announced that he had received something like $850 in ish and checks from interested mem bers of the profession. That Robinson's friends are legion was attested by the fact that a Catholic priest came all the way from Buffalo to show his in terest in the cause. He was Fath er Clement Buckley who in a few well chosen remarks asked his audience, largely white, wot to forget to speak out in behalf of the most persecuted minority group the world, the Negro, in their de mands for justice. The show itself opened with Tbe Roxyettes and was climaxed with a solo by Miss Marian Anderson, now the world's leading concert artist.

Between these acts for three and a half hours, some of the bigsest names on Broadway became across the footlights and kept the crowd en thralled with their entertainment, despite the lenght of the program. Actually appearing on the bill were: Eddie Cantor, Cappv Bar riet and His Harmonica Rascals, Milton Berle. Fats Waller. Bill Gaxton and Victor Moore. Sophie TorWr, Harry Herschfield.

Bailed as such by advance notices sent out by her concert bureau, aa Patterson of the New Yark Dairy News aaid ia his review aext morning, "For oare the press agents told tha truth." Writing as oae "ho haa been intimately, acquainted with tha development of Marina Anderson since her first budding ia Philadelphia while yet bat a aehool girl singer, her fall flowering asarks the most gorgeous blossom ia all tha briV liant gardea af musical flowers. It is interesting to note with what acclaim she is greeted by the blase and unemotional music writers af the metropolitan aewrpapers. Kolodin of tha New Turk Sua opened his review with the following paragraph: "Whea Marina Aadersoa fla ished tha first number of her recital ia Careagie Hall had already offered her listen era mora memerable ainging thaa most of her coatemporar ien evea those of tbs most generous celebrity accomplish in aa entire eveaiag. Far this 1 waa tha great recitative air from I Am Laid in sung with majestic repose, a tone of pealing richness, aad a quality of disillusioned regret almost overwhelmiag in its iateasity."
