'Jftiftit W.W Ma. A'i; For Classified 'Ad Result BROOKLYN DAILY EAGLE, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1938 Telephone Ain 1-6000 11 News of the Passing Show in the Stage, Screen and Music Worlds .3 Kent Smith In Comedy Hit at the Fox The Screen Music of the Day 7 V'j HERBERT COHN: MILES KASTENDlECKz Bette Davis in 'Jezebel' at Music Hall 'Everybody Sing' at Capitol 'A -Yank at Oxford' at Loew's Met Heralded by a storm of publicity that promised It would steal the old South from under Scarlett O'Hara, "Jezebel" swept Into the Radio City Music Hall yesterday and "Gone With the Wind" Is still safe and secure. "Jezebel" la gratifying drama with body and texture; and Bette Davis remains solidly enthroned among the royalty of the screen after her portrayal of the self-willed and antagonistic Julie. But the impression that Is left after the blighted romance has been told the sum total of story, acting, production and direction is not completely satisfying, If this is really the superior to what David Selznlck has been promising for months, then we are going to be in lor another disappointment wherever Koussevitsky Revives Mahler's Fifth Symphony at Boston Symphony Orchestra's Fourth Evening Concert at Carnegie Hall Bringing the complex and ponderous acore of Oustav Mahler's Symphony No. 5 In Sharp minor for New York consideration, the Boston Symphony Orchestra gave Its fourth evening concert In Carnegie Hall last night.

Dr. Koussevitsky revived the work last October after It had languished in the archives for almost a quarter century since Dr. Muck's performances of It In 1913 and 1914. That Mahler had something substantial to say in this symphony Is reflected again and again in the music but that he could say it only in an Inarticulate fashion is equally obvious. There is no doubt that he has recorded here the stream of consciousness as it surged through his mind.

Things are left half uttered, awkwardly expressed, and inade V5 i quately proportioned, yet the music 'Jezebel' A Warner Brothers picture directed and produced by William Wrier from a icreen play by ClemenU Ripley.

Bute Davla his fabulous super-epic is ready for projection.

For despite the earnest efforts of its players and Its staff, "Jezebel" plods Its way through tame and undistinguished footage before it reveals its true power in a gripping conflict of characters. Slowly, against a picturesque background of conventional New Orleans of the 1850's, it creates the dlspicable Julie flouting the fixed code of society by racing her spirited colt through the city's cobbled streets; laying down a challenge to the haughty elite by forsaking the traditional white garb for the Olympus Ball, climax of the Mardi Gras, and selecting a red as a brazen Julie Buck Cantrell Presloll Dlllard Amy Dr. Livlnsstone-Aunt Belle George Brent Henry Fonda -Margaret Lindsay Dcnald Crisp Fay Balnler -Richard Cromwell Ted Mri.

It is something to listen for well over an hour and though recognizing at times that things are becoming more Involved than they should, to be unaware that so much time has passed. Therein lies a certain fascination in this music, but it remains nevertheless inartistical-ly ordered.

Inspiration is not sustained (though that was Just what Mahler was trying to express in a way) and consequently it remains a great expression of sonorous struggle. Mast ingratiating is the Adagietto scored for strings and harp alone. It is like an oasis in a desert of mental and musical groping for the unknown, serving to emphasize that here is music like an uncut diamond, needing proportioning to reveal its true beauty. Also on the program were Debussy's two nocturnes "Nuagaes" and "Fetes," and Rimsky-Korsakov's Capriccio Espagnole. The performance of the Mahler was probably as fine as will be heard in many a day.

That of the Debussy one of refinement without bringing out all the transparency of the music. The crescendo of the procession in "Fetes" was perfectly timed. The Rimsky-Korsakov had rough spots both in the execution of the orchestra and the conducting. The Theater Wclkuere For the last time this season, the Valkyrie Bruennhilde was put to sleep on the rock of fire by Wotan as "Die Walkuere" was sung with a familiar cast headed by Elizabeth Rethberg, Kirsten Flagstad, Lauritz Melchoir, Ludwig Hofmann was Wotan; Mr. Leinsdorf conducted, Jascha Fastofshy arid Abraham Goetz After an absence of eight years, Jascha Fastofsky, violinist and conductor of the Queens Symphonic Orchestra reappeared as violin virtuoso in a Joint sonata recital with Abraham Goetz, pianist, who made his debut in the Music Hall of the Academy of Music last night.

The worth-while program commenced with Beethoven's "Sonata No. 2," the "Allegro" of which was disappointing in tempi, phrasing and tone. In the "Andante" movement more fluency and interpretation was apparent. Mr. Fastofsky's tone was full and vital in the Brahms "Sonata No.

2 his phrasing and thematic treatment clearer ni detail. Mr. Goetz i3 technically well equipped and played with considerable feeling for tonal quality and gradation of dynamics. Beethoven's "Kreutzer Sonata" closed the recital. The Adagio movement was particularly persuasive in its individuality and dynamic shading.

A new Panchon and Marco variety stage show also makes Its bow at the Roxy today. Deanna's third starrlne picture since being discovered by Kddie Cantor, "Mad About Music," features a musical score by Jimmie McHugh and Harold Adamson, Including "Serenade to the Stars," "Chapel Bells" and "I Love to Whistle," which Deanna sings at appropriate intervals. Heading the cast of players in support of Miss Durbin are Herbert Marshall, Arthur Treacher, Gail Patrick, William Frawley, Jackie Morau and Mae Jones. ARTHUR POLLOCKs. Play About a Cop's Brother Who Is Mistaken for a Communist Too Soon, Opens at Nora Bayes Social Stage, "a non-profit-making co-operative group founded to present plays of social importance," began work last night at the Nora Bayes Theater by presenting "Tornado." Social Stage calls it a modern play, and it is.

Though the author is Lajos Egri, a Hungarian, he is here in the United States and he writes in English. There can be no question about the play's being American the boy in the death house has his sentence commuted in the last three minutes of the last act. That, unfortunately, is the kind of play "Tornado" is. It is another kind also. Everything old Is there, but while the relatives of the boy in the death house wait to hear of his execution, something like that revo lution we have all heard so much about takes place.

People who insist Boston Symphony Concert Academy of Music Tonight The Boston Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Serge Koussevitsky, will give its fourth Brooklyn concert of the current season this evening at 8:30 o'clock in the Brooklyn Academy of Music. These concerts are held annually under the auspices of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences, Edward O. Blum president. Dr. Koussevitsky has chosen the following program: "Classical Symphony, Op.

25," by ProkoflpfT; "Nocturnes," by Debussy; Capriccio Es-pagnol, Op. 34," by Rimsky-Korsakov; 'Symphony No. 2 in Major, Op. by Brahms. he shall not die fill the streets sing ing.

The workers go on strike, in TORNADO A play by Lajos Egri. Presented at the Nora Bayes Theater by Social Staite. Staged by Kalman Markl. The Cast Mary Butler Sylvia Markl cluding the telephone girls. In the power house a couple of cops with sister Mary had seen the need of becoming a prostitute to defray expenses.

Charlie very nearly killed her for that. Charlie was dumb but nothing if not moral. When a reporter asked him how he thought crime could be done away with, he said, "Do away with lawlessness." His brothers knew that hunger had better be done away with first. Sal Morales is Jimmy. Paul Graham plays the slow-witted Charlie, and Sylvia Markl is Mary.

There may perhaps be those who will say that any Hungarian who writes a play like "Tornado" is an interfering foreigner and should be sent back home if he doesn't like it here, but they are wrong. Any man who writes a play in which a boy's sister takes up prostitution to keep him from the chair is a dramatist thoroughly American. Bertha Louisa Lodl A drawn revolvers prevent an engineer from turning off the city's current. Miss Garland so that the youngster, whose penchant for swing keeps her constantly on the. way out of swanky girls' boarding schools, can raise funds for the family's keep.

The show gives Fanny a chance to wheeze as Baby Snooks, flit flat-footed around the stage as a gauky ballerina and croon comically a piece called "Quainty, Dainty Me," and pronounced "Kvainty, Dainty Me." Daddy, by the way, is transformed into Little Lord Fauntleroy in the "Baby Snooks" episode, with Judy as the little Lord. When she's just plain Judy, she's a delightful bundle of personality, catchy rhythms ad sweet voice doing wonders with "Swing, Mr. Mendelssohn" and "Down on Melody Farm." When she gets into blackface to sing "I Come From the South" she shows that she is also a talented little actress. She is something to see and hear and relish. So is the picture.

It's as good as any of those daffy comedies referred to Before and, besides, there's only one Fanny Brice. At Loew's Metropolitan A YANK AT OXFORD" A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture, directed by Jack Conway, from a screen play by Malcolm Btuarl Boylon. Walter Ferris and George Oppenheuner, based on an original story by Leou Oordon, Sidney Gililat and Michael Hogan. Suggested by an Idea of John Monk Saunders. Produced by Michael Balcon and presented at Loews Metropolitan Theater with a cast including Robert Taylor, Lionel Barrymore, Maureen O'Sulllvan, Vivien Leigh, Edmund Gwena and Griffith Jones.

"A Yank at Oxford," which came to the Metropolitan Theater yesterday, did three tilings for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer: First, It converted Pretty Boy Robert Taylor Into a haird-chested he-man with amazing proficiency on the track and in the shell; secondly, it replaced the well-trodden campusac of Annapolis and West Point with some virgin film soil from Oxford, and thirdly, it showed that the British studio of the American producers is equipped with casts and ideas for a thoroughly entertaining picture. The new Taylor film is nothing short of that with its novel locale, its assortment of peppy Jokes, its remarkably good acting by a matched cast of American and British actors, and its picturesque setting of the historic English campus. There is more reason now, too, for the stream of Taylor fans. He gives a hint or two of real ability Al the 86th St. Garden "Gasparone," a new German musical film by the composer of "Bettelstudcnt," has its American premiere today at the 86th Street Garden Theater.

Heading the cast are Marika Roekk, Johannes Hees-ters and Leo Slezak, the opera star. Other Important roles are plaved by Oskar Sima and Edith Schellwer. "Gasparone" was directed by G. Jacoby and has been equipped with English dialogue titles. woman from Gallatin St.

might do; and then taunting Preston, her fiance, into escorting her to the ball where, for the first time in her life, she is humbled by the aloofness of her set. There Is the nub of the trouble. Owen Davis spends too much time in setting his stage, enraging Pres to the point where he stalks out of the South and leaves Julie bitter and secluded from the life that she challenged. Through all of this his actipn. drags, depending primarily upon the color of his locale to sustain interest.

To us it seemed like an Insufferably over-drawn prologue to the sweeping drama that comes a year later when the plague of Yellow-Jck brings Pres. married to Amy, a Northern girl, who is all that Julie is not, rushing back to New Orleans and his banking house. Here the conflict of characters matures with Julie, revenge piling up on her bitterness, plotting for Pres' death to spite his Northern wife. Again she goads, this time directing her malice toward Amy, selfishly luring Buck Cantrell, her straight shooting, easy living Southern suitor, into being the tool for her malicious scheme and openly becoming a Jezebel "doing evil in the sight of God." As an actress. Miss Davis here achieves redemption from the studied ground laying of earlier reels; Margaret Lindsay as Amy here achieves another triumph in delicate characterization, and for Owen Davis the powerful sequence makes more obvious the weekness of his prologue.

There can be no disputing the driving drama of these latter scenes. Nor can there be any question of the emotional might of his climax when, with Pres stricken with yellow fever, Amy and Julie are faced again with the malignant, selfish willfulness that dominates the entire story. The settings of old New Orleans are striking. George Brent, Henry Fonda, Donald Crisp, Fay Balnter, as Julie's maiden aunt; Richard and Loy Payton do brilliant work. If only the pace of those earlier scenes had been quickened as they prepared for the gigantic sweep of the climax, the glowing build-up from the coast might have been justified.

In the first act Charlie, the cop, threw out of the house a girl trying to sell a workers' paper. In the last act he welcomed her with open arms. The thing that brought about the vast public sympathy for Jimmy after he had been railroaded was the activity in his behalf of the International' Labor Defease.

Marin from an original story and icreen play by Florence Ryerson and Edgar Allan Woolt with additional dialogue by Jamea Grucn.

Musical acore by Kaper and Jur-mann and Kalmar and Ruby and Roger Edens. Produced by Harry Rapt and presented at the Capitol Theater with a cast Including Judy Oarland, Fannie Brlce, Allan Jones. Billle Burke, Reginald Owen. Reginald Gardiner, Lynne Carver and Henry Armetta. For the 'teenth time In the past two weeks we report in this space that yesterday we had a chuckling good time watching the goofey antics of a set of true entertainers playing a wacky screen play.

This time the scene is the Capitol Theater, the title, "Everybody Sing." and the artists Fanny Brlce, Judy Garland and Allan Jones. Miss Brlce brings to the screen all of the heavily accented wit that made her famous on the stage. As a Russian kitchen maid she grumbles her way through the madhouse of raging playwright Reginald Owen and his wife, Blllie Burke, with chubby Judy Garland as her only solace. Allan Jones is the family cook who sings love songs to the pretty daughter, Lynne Carver, while Reginald Gardiner complicates matters as a temperamental gigolo-actor unknowingly in love with himself. Director Edward L.

Marin gives his entire cast free-rein with the result that Blllie Burke and Reginald Owen go berserk; Miss Carver stands around decoratlvely and Miss Brice and Miss Garland run away with the picture, leaving Mr. Jones wavering dangerously, occasionally, on a throaty high note. Miss Brice finds most of her trouble in keeping her dainty headgear on an even keel, running bicarbonate of soda for the explosive Mr. Owen, figuring ways-and-nieans of dividing four puny squabs among seven healthy people, and mooning about her Boris who ran out on her in Russia a dozen years before.
