Marlene Dietrich Returns to the New York Paramount in a Familiar Triangle Drama Directed by Ernst Lubitsch After a lengthy absence, Marlene Dietrich has returned to the screen (the N. Y. Paramount in a picture, which, acclaimed in advance as one of her best, turns out to be one of her lesser achievements.

"Angel" Is the title of Miss Dietrich's latest vehicle, and according to the program it is an adaptation of Melchior Lengyel's Hungarian play of the same name. The production and direction are credited to Ernst Lubitsch, but alas, it does appear that that usually expert megaphonist has this time permitted himself to drop slightly below his customary standard. "Angel" is one of those eternal triangle dramas, which with variations, the Hollywood studios have been turning out these many years. New Strand Bill "Bulldog Drummond at Bay" and "Lady Fights Back" Arc Co-features "Bulldog Drummond at Bay," another in the series of thrilling stories depicting the adventures of that celebrated sleuth, with John Lodge, Dorothy Mackail and Victor Jory, heads the new double feature program which arrived yesterday at the Brooklyn Strand Theater. The cofeature is "The Lady Fights Back," with Kent Taylor and Iren V.ervey in the leading roles.

"Bulldog Drummond at Bay" tells the story of Kalinsky, a sinister financier, who plots to sell the plans of a secret airplane to a foreign power. Drummond is involuntarily drawn Into the case, and soon tracks the villainous gang's workings to a Key Club, an organization supposedly devoted to the furtherance of world peace. Investigation by Drummond reveals that the backers of the club are cohorts of Kalinsky. Thus a World Peace Club la revealed as the pawn of an armament ring. How this ring is broken up and the criminals brought to justice is told in a thrilling and entertaining film.

"The Lady Fights Back." the Strand's second feature, based on Arthur Stringer's novel, "Heather of the High Hand," deals with a young girl's battle to outsmart a power company engineer bent on building a dam across a river running through her property. Naturally the engineer (Kent Taylor) falls in love (1 The Abbey Theater Players, now appearing in Lennox Robinson's comedy, "The Far-Off Hills," at the Ambassador Theater, had their first free afternoon yesterday.

According to its annual custom, the New York Philharmonic-Sym phony Society last night in Cat'- I uigic nan jjicMriiieu wie imic-niu ning work chosen in its competition for symphonic compositions by American composers. The work honored was the First Symphony, in A Minor, of Gardner Read, a 24-year-old musician, of Evanston, 111. For the occasion John Barbirolli had prepared a performance that did the new work Justice.

At its close there was some evidence of cordiality on the part of the audience, and the composer took the customary bow from the stage. The symphony is in the traditional four movements, and is a work of considerable length. IU idiom is unafiected and healthy, and it shows a natural feeling for orchestral writing. There are echoes in It of every one from Sibelius to Deems Taylor, and the composer's individuality, if he has any as yet, was difficult to detect at a single hearing. There were evi dent, however, technical abilities and musical gifts of some promise.

It is a question whether any one under 40 should be allowed to write a symphony. Like the novel, the symphonic form requires a mind that has already come to terms with a difficult universe, and has a ma ture and imperative message to pro-j pound. There were, here and there in Mr. Read's work, symptoms of the genuine feeling for dramatic musical thought that goes to make true symphonies. But in every instance the thought became dissipated in imitative and rather muddled meandering.

Technically Mr. Read's utterance aims at the grand manner, and there were moments of simple orchestral texture where real poetic feeling was conveyed. Over long spans, however, Mr. Read's musical message was inclined to run thin, and to derive too frequently from the stock patterns of other com- posers. The management of the orchestral ensemble was able in the piano passages, and inclined to i muddiness and lack of clarity in the fortes.

Structurally the work I Is frequently diffuse, although the themes themselves have something of the true symphonic quality. Al-i together the impression was that of an Immature and very ambitious work by a composer of promising but insufficiently disciplined endowments. Owing to the length of the new symphony an originally scheduled performance of the Three Dances from De Falla's "The Three-Cornered Hat" was omitted. The remaining works on the program were Edward Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings, and the Minor Symphony of Robert Schumann. The Schumann symphony received an energetic and generally sympathetic reading.

Greater clarity might have been desired in some of the rapid passages allotted to the lower-pitched instruments of the string choir. But there was frequent eloquence and a prevailing richness of tone in what Mr. Barbirolli and his men offered. The Elgar work, not often played on this side of the Atlantic, proved to be a composition of substantial qualities, in which genuine musical feeling emerged through a rather academic exterior. Dance, of Salome At Jimmy Kelly's The dance of Salome will be pre-sentrd by Mary Lane, featured dancer, at Jimmy Kelly's Village Rendezvous, 181 Sullivan Saturday.

Titled "The Lust," this enticing dance creation, staged by Gene De Monnexe, is the representation of Salome's desire for the head of John the Baptist. Mary Lane has secured the head used by Mary Garden in the original opera presentation of "Salome." Special costumes by Marty Dean and the musical score arranged by Vincent Lopez.
