From that point on, your gue-ss regarding the dramatic (or comedic) Intentions of "Parachute Jumper" is as Rood as ours. We have a vague recollection of Mr.

Fairbanks hiring himself out as a sort of body-- guard, or gun boy, to Mr. Leo Carrillo, who has the part of a big-shot rum runner. Eventually, young --Doug (remember he's an ex-Marine fiier is persuaded to fly Mr. Car-rillo's booze down from Canada, and with Frank McHugh for a flying partner they do have a jolly time of it for a while.

As a special attraction during her engagement at the Brooklyn Paramount Miss Smith will broadcast her regular radio program directly from the stage. Hampden's Influence The pronounced revival interest in the spoken drama through out the country is to a large extent due to the coast-to-coast tours of Walter Hampden after his seven successful years at his own theater In New York.

During the 12 montlis ending at New Year's his presenta tion of "Cyrano de Bergerac" was played to capacity audiences in nearly every State of the Union. Now he is starting another tour of the same scope, during which he Us presenting "Caponsacchi" and "Hamlet, coming with these plays to the Majestic Theater on Jan. 30. Based upon Robert Browning's monumental dramatic poem, "The Ring and the Book," and written by Arthur Goodrich, "Caponsacchi" deals with a celebrated historical murder trial which took place in Rome near the end of the seventeenth century. Its chief character is Caponsacchi, the "warrior-priest" of Arezzo.

George White's "Melody" will be seen In Pittsburgh for a week beginning; next Monday and will then come to Broadway. Sigmund Romberg, Edward Childs Carpenter and Irving Caesar contributed the music, book and lyrics to "Melody," which has Evelyn Herbert, Everett Marshall, Walter Woolf and Jeanne Aubert In the cast.

4 "OHt Leider and Olszeicska in 'Goetterdaem merit its' The season's third "Goetterdaem-merung," given at the Metropolitan Opera House last night, was distinguished from preceding performances of the work by the presence in its cast of Frieda Leider, Maria Olszewska and Lauritz Melchior. Mme. Leider's Bruennhilde in this concluding drama of the Nibelun-gen Ring tetralogy, if less impressive than her Isolde, is vastly more so than her Bruennhilde in "Siegfried." The reasons for this are not to be sought in the music of the role. This, to be sure, cruelly taxing as it is, lies better for Mine. Leider's voice, with its dubious top, than that of the "Siegfried" Bruenn hilde, but this slight advantage is canceled by the greater length of the role, its heavier demands upon the endurance of the singer, both physical and nervous.

Often last evening Mme. Leider sang magnificently as in the scene of the oath on the spear, and in the trio concluding the second act but as frequently she sang badly. In the opening duet with Siegfried and in the Immolation scene at the close, de spite the relief which tones and phrases now and then provided, the success the voice, clearly taxed to its limits in meeting the demands of the music, met them for the most part no more than adequately. No, the impressiveness of Mme. Leider's "Goetterdaemmerung" less the effect of her singiirg of the role than of her general dramatic and music conception of it, intelligent, deeply felt, and conveyed to listener with little loss of the significance it clearly had for the artist.

There was nobility in it, and pathos; it attained at moments in the second act and in the final scene to a high intensity in the realization and communication of emotion. Mme. Olszewska's Waltraute was another matter. The suspicion that this artist was not in proper physical condition or frame of mind to meet the requirements, of the role was inevitably aroused by her performance, which was entirely wanting in authority, musical or dramatic, and wretchedly sung. Having heard Mme.

Olszewska's Waltraute abroad and been deeply impressed by it, I found it difficult to believe last evening that it was actually she upon the stage. A future performance of "Die Goetterdaemmerung" with this artist in the cast will probably confirm my belief that there was some special reason for last evening's fiasco. Mr. Melchior's Siegfried was, as In the past, splendidly sung. So was the Hagen of Mr.

Hofmann, allowing for lack of force, and the Gunther of Mr. Schorr, except for one or two tones which revealed the weakneiss of his hlRh voice. The Gutrur.e was Mme. Manskt, the Al- berich Mr. Schuetzendorf.

Others in the cast were Mmes. Fleischer, Wells, Doe, Petrova, and Messrs. Altglass and Gabor. Mr. Bodanzky conducted in his most eloquent vein, i PAIL W1IITEMAN Paul Whiteman and his orchestra! invaded Carnegie Hall last night for the second of their concei ts i there this season.

FEATURE FILMS The -Harold Kreutzberg in Solo Iciv Harald Kreutzberg gave his first 'solo recital last night at the New Yorker Theater. Without the as-' sistance of a group or an individual the full weight of the performance foll on his shoulders and he car-f ried it off in his usual brilliant fashion. Facile, graceful, almost in his lightness, his accom- plishments never betray their dif- ficulties. Although there were six new dances, performed for the first time in America, those that had been presented in previous engagc- ments remain the most effective. 'Perhaps this is because of better acquaintance on our part with the old ones.

"Revolte" stil carries one away with its force and vigor; "Master of Ceremonies" still arouses admiration for its very niceness. and "Three Mad Figures" is still morbidly dramatic and tease. Nevertheless, those viewed for the first time certainly have their merits, demonstrating Mr. Kreutz-bcrg's mastery of movement and leaning toward the humorous. "Four Little Dances," with which he opened the program, were miniatures of perhaps negligible stature but sufficient to show his ability and smoothness.

Dances garian Dances" were brilliant pieces of precision and exaggeration; always beautifully controlled yet racy in effect. These were half-serious and half-humorous adaptations of the well-known Hungarian dance. "Till Eulenspiegel" was a delicious bit of characterization of that mis- chievotis imp, "Till," and his many deviltries.

The costume was a masterpiece of design and color with its yellow, russet and green. "Dance in the Moon," also new, was effectively shimmering in its prcsontation, but rather thin and weak in its conception. Perhaps its vagueness was intentional. This dance was accompanied by the Theremin played on by Mrs. Walter Rosen, who had also given a solo on the instrument immediately preceding "Dance In the Moon." This was lather an unfortunate idea, for the Theremin, still in the stage of imperfection, is unable to give the proper ethereal effect.

Oilier numbers on the program were "Angel of Annunciation," "Tango" and "Pieta." The audience was of moderate size but enthusiastic and eager for encores. The music was under the direction of Friedrich Wilckens. S. A. With the closing of "Big Night" at Maxine Elliott's Theater on Saturday evening the Group Theater has for the time being suspended production.

Its next play is not slated for immediate rehearsal. Luther Adler, seen in "Success Story," has already been signed for an important role in "Alien Corn," supporting Katharine Cornell. The seat sale for the engagement of "Marathon," the new play by Isabel Dawn and Boyce DeGaw, opens tomorrow at the Mansfield Tnealer. The play will employ a large cast, headed by Robert Strange, Fiank Rowan and Miss Dawn. Clyde North is the director.

It opens Friday, Jan. 27, under the management of Joseph Bernard. Howard Inches has engaged Irving Rapper to direct "East River Romance," the comedy by Edwin Gilbert. Rapper has been on Gilbert Miller's production staff, both in New York and London, for the past two years. The play will open the week of Feb.
