Ten years ago at the Center By DOUGLAS WATT (Reprinted from vesterdag's late editions) The weather got light and fair for a while late yesterday and so did the music. The Carnegie Pops series of concerts opened at Carnegie Hall at a $2.40 top, plus all you "The Sundowners," is the best picture the Palace Theatre lias had in a long time. It is based on a good Western story that contains suspense and a variety of thrills. It was adapted to the screen by Alan LeMay from his novel, "Thunder in the Dust," and was directed by George Templeton for Eagle-Lion release.

Photographed almost entirely out of doors, it is a credit to the Technicolor cameras. SYLVESTER bow with William Saroyan's Last night it offered Antony indication of radiant light around the head." As far as this frustrated reviewer is concerned, the dictionary explains Tudor to perfection. With "Nimbus" he has some purely beautiful music- by Louis Gruenberg featuring some heroic, backbreaking solo work by violinist Broadus Erie. Even with Gruenberg and Erie, Tudor never gets "Nimbus" off the ground. He starts to, now and again, but al ways seems to lose interest or ideas.

However, the new Ballet Theatre production, which has enough trick scenery to scare the late Harry Houdini off his own nimbus, may fool us all. "Goof" did, in a way. For Aronson's new fellowship will send him through Europe, this Summer, and when he returns he is sure that he will be able to do projected movie scenery on fully lighted sets. Up until now the trick has been usable only with dark stages. Maybe Tudor will one day prove that he discovered something just as important.

This observer was floored 10 years ago by "Goof," but the Sa-royan ballet was the first to introduce Boris Aronson's futuristic idea for projected scenery. This week, a full decade later, Aronson won a Guggenheim Fellowship which may enable him to revolutionize the entire concept of stage scenery. Ten years from now Tudor may prove just as important.

But right now he's as big a puzzle as ever. The Explanation. "Nimbus" starts with Nora Kaye caught in some seaweed and ends with her doing a strip tease. In between she gets onto a rooftop, meets some strange Chinese, is almost thrown for straight falls by Hugh Laing, and suffers other "Ir-relevancies" and "Nightbirds." She also has a dream. The dream is Diana Adams, whose footwork is superb and whose arms are the longest and thinnest since Kid Chocolate's.

(ladya Hevanx. The Sena, E. 42d Atw York 17, Y. The relationship between Tom and Jeff Cloud, ranchers, and the bold, gun-toting Kid Wichita, who comes riding onto their preserve with obvious intentions of staying put, is somewhat of a mystery. The audience knows that the brothers would prefer to see the Kid off the place, but they put up with him, although he means trouble to them and to their neighbors.

It isn't until the drama nears its climactic battle that the secret of the Kid's influence is brought to-light. Steals from Rustlers Kid Wichita goes about the business of helping the Cloud boys by stealing from the rustlers, who'd stolen from them, and by killing some of the men who stand in his way. He is a tough, fearless fellow who thrives on trouble, but who, in the end, brings peace to the district. Robert Preston plays the role of the Kid with relish. He enters into the fight with the zest of one who loves his job.

Robert Sterling and "The Sundowners," Eagle Lion film in Technicolor, directed by George Templeton. Written by Alan LeMay, from his own novel. Presented at RKO Palace. Running time, 1 hour, 23 minutes. THE CAST: Kid Wi.hita Tom rlotnl Sam Heard Jnhn Gaul Mrs.

Boy-e Klin Gaul Fletrher Turkej- Strake Robert "Preston -Robert Sterling t'hill Wills John 1-itel Cathy rnwim Jaek Elam Don Haprerly Stanley Pri- Jlem Vuller Frank Conlell young John Barrymore, as the Cloud boys, turn in good performances. The latter, son of the late John Barrymore and Dolores Cos- tello, once a silent screen star, is the latest of the famed Barrymore clan of actors to join the ranks of the thespians. His debut in this Western film is an auspicious one, which promises well for the young est of the play-acting Barrymores. Cathy Downs lends a romantic aura to the ranchers' feud and Chill Wills contributes a few laughs by way of easing the tension of the action. John Litel, Don Haggerty and Jack Elam are effectively cast in this fast-moving film.

SBRGBMTl SUE SWEET CAN'T GET AWAY WITH THIS could eat and drink for pay. The 65 members of the Philharmonic-Symphony and the conductor, Enrico Leide, had on their Summer formals and the back of the stage was decked out with imitation trees and several square yards of stage grass which ran almost half-way up the back wall. Suspended from the ceiling above the stage was a row of big musical instruments. The front rows of the orchestra, back to had been ripped up and there were tables and chairs in their places, and waiters waiting along the nides to close in at the start of each pf the two intermissions. There were tables in the first-tier boxes, too, and the ush erettes wore prim Summer cos tumes.

Music, Music, Music. The music? Well, it was made up largely of all those things the full Philharmonic-Symphony doesn't dare play during the Winter season and that the subscribers don't dare listen to, though both groups might like to do so once in a while. Addinsell's "Warsaw Concert," a flagrantly pretty piece of movie music; a "South Pacific" medley: Elgar's "Pomp and Circumstance" march and Brahms' Hungarian Dances Nos. 5 and 6, for example. There were, too, Mendelssohn's Scherzo and Wedding March from "A Midsummer Night's Dream," AVeber's "Concertstueck," Thomas' Overture to "Mignon" and the Minuet and Farandole from Bizet's "L'Arlesienne Suite No.

2." Leide showed a pleasant disposition to do encores and added the Overture to Mozart's "The Marriage of Figaro" to the first part of the program. Pleasant Soloists. Lilian Kallin was soloist in the "Warsaw Concerto" and the "Con-cerstueck," which filled the middle part of the evening, and the Rod-gers and Hammerstein songs were sung by Naomi Ornest, soprano, and Warren Galjour, baritone. All bf haved competently. The music was tuneful and pleasant and the audience, somewhat on the sparse side, applauded vigorously.
