BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, NEW YORK, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 27, 1935 More Special Pleading by the Qroup Theater and Dramatist Odets 12 "THE BISHOP MISBEHAVES9 The Theater Music of the Day By ARTHUR POLLOCK By WINTHROP 'Manon' Concludes Metropolitan Series at Academy Ormandy Leads Philadelphia Orchestra at Carnegie It seems to be one of the paradoxes of opera that those works whose moral viewpoints and social backgrounds are the most transparent and antiquated are often precisely those that get closest to the hearts of The Robust Young Group Theater Presents Two Stirring Plays by Clifford Odets at the Longacre Theater The bold and sinewy young people of the Group Theater, having discovered a playwright, present now two of Ins plays at once at the Longacre TheaUT, trrus providing an evening of sorrows and excitements. The plays are "Till the Day I Die" and "Waiting for Lefty." by Clifford Odets. who has a sharp social conscience and won't acrept Hollywood's invitations. They are the kind of plays the Theater Union loves. And the tunny part of It is that last night they svemed to find a more enthusiastic welcome right in the hem of the conventional theater district than plays get down on 14th St.

These are not full-length plays, of course, though each has many scenes, and they are pictures, canvases, as are most of the plays of the virile Mr. Odets and the Theater Unions playwrights of like mind. "Till the Dav I Die" presents in seven i i Otto Schlaaf and Robert Riotte Another of New York's many two-piano teams, Otto Schlaaf and Robert Riotte, gave a recital at Town Hall last night. Rarely is one privileged to hear such extraordinary ensemble as these two artists have achieved. Among all the piano duos this reviewer has heard Schlaaf and Riotte are the only ones to have attained a unanimity which is more than merely mechanical.

Their program, which included a Bach Prelude and Fugue in Minor arranged by Harold Bauer, Saar's transcription of a Mozart Menu-etto and Rondo, Variations on a theme by Beethoven by Saint-Saens, a first performance of Burlesque by Helen Thomson Thomas (dedicated to the artists), Arnold Bax's rarely heard Poisoned Foun- tain, Ravel rrangement of Debussy's Fetes, and pieces by Debussy, Saint-Saens, Friedman-Gartner and Berlioz seemed well suited to their medium. The Mozart was played with extraordinary freshness, flawless technique and a wholly admirable spirit. In the Saint-Saens variations both artists again displayed excellent musicianship. A large and very enthusiastic audience demanded several encores. JOHN HAMMOND.

And so we have "Manon," a work the psychology to present-day life as to appear large and enthusiastic audience at The cast that graced the Metropolitan's production on this occasion was one composed largely ol veterans, yuenna jyiano, wno am in SARGEANT last niglit's production of Massenet's and problems of which are so foreign almost lnoomprehensible, drawing a the Academy of Music. bed following a serious operation to the solo horn went faster than the rest of the orchestra, but that was the fault of the solo horn. And the magic of Berlioz' "Queen Mab" depends on sonorities which Mr. Ormandy waS unable to secure from the orchestra.

Aside from this, however, he achieved performances that had excellent precision, fine tone quality and good musical effect. B. H. HAGGIN. AMUSEMENTS BROOKLYN The oro-r ducer and direcrnr nf ''One Night of Love present their new est triumph of romance end songs.

To the Paramount comes Claudette Colbert's latest starring picture, "Private Worlds." And "Traveling Saleslady," in which Joan Blondell returns to the screen after a lengthy absence, has its premiere this evening at vivid glimpses a bitter picture of the underground activities ol hard-pressed Communists in today's Berlin and the brave and tortured lite they lead. Stark as it is and bitter, it has humor in it. a humor at times of almost a burlesque stamp that would fit one or two of its scenes for Broadway revue.

The two fearful Brown Shirts who find a Communist leaflet in a Nazi barracks are comical enough, in fact, almost to ruin the mood of the tragic incidents immediately following. The rest is far from comic. The little play tells of a Communist taken by the maniacal Nazi and tortured by degrees to make him tell what he knows. They beat him and break him and let him go to mingle with his comrades and bring back information of their doings. But he will bring back nothing.

He is picked up again, beaten and sent to the hospital. Then they take him on Naxi raids so that he will seem to his fellows to have betrayed them. Meanwhile in their cellars his comrades vote to blacklist him. knowing that he would not betray them unless the torture were too great, but unable to trust in his strength, fearing that if all the Communists of Germany are not warned against him hundreds of others may die because of his weakness. His captors cut off his arm and drive him very nearly insane with their medieval deviltries, but he lives long enough to shoot himself to make betrayal impossible.

The play's most striking moment is that in which a former friend, a major in Hitler's army, warns him of what will happen, shoots a fellow officer and then puts the barrel of his own pistol into his mouth and pulls the trigger. The incident follows the comic scene between the two Brown Shirts, one of whom scares the other by saying some one told him some Jews were nice peo- pie. Mr. Odets has not as a dramatist grown past the picture stage as yet. but he draws a wicked picture with a fine revolutionary force.

Something seemed always to be happening at the Longacre last night. "Till the Day I Die" is very well staged, too, with color and effective lighting. The other play is "Waiting for I i I AMUSEMENTS BROOKLYN SHOWING TODAY JRSTrtU 9.

Charles Hackett was his usual well-schooled and effective Des Grieux and called forth enthusiasm on many occasions.

Louis Hasselmans conducted. Among the details of staging mention might be made of the ill conceived heavy orange lighting of Act 2 which had the effect of completely washing out Mine, Mario's makeup with the result that, charming as her stage presence ordinarily is, she looked like a hollow-eyed ghost throughout its duration. Philadelphia Orchestra Some one will have to explain to me the mental processes by which a conductor after investigating, reflecting, racking his brain, and pacing the floor decides to play, on March 26, 1935, Sibelius' Symphony No. 1 in minor. I don't mean any symphony of Sibelius, but this particular one that is so much in need of neglect, while neglected ones like No.

6 are so much in need of performance. For that matter, some one will have to explain the entire program that Eugene Ormandy devised for last night's concert of the Philadelphif Orchestra the individual choices and their combination. First, a thoroughly banal and imitative Chorale and Fugue in minor by Arnold Zemachson; then the Sibelius symphony; then, as though all this had been extremely taxing, some bonbons: Stravinsky's Fireworks and Kodaly's Suite from "Hary Janos." and between these the one work of distinction Berlioz' wonderful Scherzo "Queen Mab" from "Romeo and Juliet." The orchestra's playing did not have the distinctive qualities associated with Stokowski's conducting; but Mr. Ormandy made good use of it in his own way. In the Fugue Gable, Jean Harlow and Wally Beery in the cast of "China Seas" The Warners expect to place Richard McCauley's story, "Women Are Bum Newspapermen," in production sometime next month with Glenda Farrell in the leading role Kay Francis in "Living on Velvet" will have its Brooklyn premiere at the Fox on Friday "Roberta" is due at the Albee on the same day, and "Folies Bergere." with Chevalier and Merle Oberon, will follow "Naughty Marietta" at Loew's Metropolitan.

"The Woman in Red." Gene Raymond.

Genevieve Tobin, Phillip Reed and Dorothy Tree are the principal players who appear in support of Miss Stanwyck. "The Woman in Red" is baf.ed on Wallace Irwin's novel "North Shore." and deals with the romance of an aristocratic Kentucky girl who, because of financial reverses. I becomes a professional rider at so-; cioty horse shows. Robert Florey directed the picture from the screen play by Mary Mc-Call Jr. and Peter Milne.

Ruth Reynolds Yesterday afternoon at Town Hall Ruth Reynolds, a young American mezzo-soprano, gave a recital which incl' a French group of Rameau, Gabriel Dupont and Gabriel Faure. English songs of Hubert Parry, Elgar, Byrd, Granville Bantock and two modern groups by Castelmiovo-Tedesco, Carlo Buchardo. A. Walter "iier and Charles Griffes. Miss Reynolds possesses many attributes, among which are excellent intonation, good diction and freshness almost to the point of naivete.

She did not. however, dist-lose par- ticular depth in any of her interpre-: tations. although none of lier selec-I tions was of great emotional intons-i ity. In Duporu's Air d'Antar her upper register sounded forced. The audience was small but cor- ilial.
