BT WALTER WHITWORTH The Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra, Ferdinand Schaefer. conductor, played in the Murai Tuesday evening before an unusually large audience. The orchestra also presented the first truest soloist of the current season, George Newton, hass, who fan? an aria from Monteverdi's little known "Coronation of Poppea" and Vulcan's song from Gounod's "Philemon and Baucis." The orchestra played Mendelssohn's fourth Symphony, in A major, usually termed the Italian symphony, and Warner's -Siegfried Idyll and overture to "Die The Monteverdi aria, which is magnificent music, with sustained phrases and lovely melody, is the kind of music which Mr.

Newton sings supremely welL The middle and lower registers of his voice are smooth, rich and vibrant, and It is these registers which the aria uses. Thus, vocally, the son? was excellent. It was likewise artistically excellent, for Mr. Newton is a musician who understands his music and its meaning. Vulcan's son? is more buoyant, more dramatic, in a sense.

Its, tempi are better, and the balance is more easily maintained- The flow movement of the symphony was somewhat too lifeless, too lacking in color and in nuance to give the listener a knowledge t-f all the music contained, but elsewhere the liveliness of the composer, his gift for melody and his flair for making everything seem bright and ehecrful were projected across the footlights with some degree of as-aurance. Technically, the orchestra improves from concert to concert. Its chief stumbling blocks seem to be a lack of plastic phrasing and variety of tone color, two things nhlch make music h'rh give it vitality, and which, in so do-lnf, excite the listener to cheers, audible or otherwise. At the moment, the symphony only banning to tread the path that leads to this double goal. Ham C.

Seen by Michael Curtis, director, as he left a sound stage with seventy-five extras, the fire, then just a wisp of smoke, was raging by the time the first outside equipment reached the studio. The extras, who had been working on a Paul Muni picture, "Black Fury," joined forces with firemen in fighting the flames.

Firemen said they believed the flames might have started from sparks in the machine shop which was destroyed along with the tin, carpenter and plumbing shops. MAN OR BEAST?

Lupe Velez and her husband, Johnny Weismuller, asserted last night they never fight. They "just argue." The two screen stars, arriving on the Berengaria, proved their contention by arguing on a number of topics between the time the ship left Quarantine and the time it docked. Among the disputed questions were: was the ship still anchored, or under way; the luncheon menu, and the size of their Chihuahua doss.

Here is his story: Emil Van Horn, a black-eyed man, became a "gorilla" only after he had met disappointment in his early years. This youth, who has spent liours studying every gesture of the apes, wished to be an acrobat, but was too heavy to train for trapeze work. As an extra in Hollywood he met Charles GcMora, the original gorilla creator of America, The long, shaggy costumes fashioned by GeMora attracted Van Horn, who dreamed of a unique act for the stage.

GeMora suggested to Van Horn that he build a gorilla costume. So Van Horn became Engagi. His first costume is that which he wears in his act today. Every contour is present in the ghastly suit, for the fingernails and the very expression of the costume, resemble a gorilla. Van Horn has now gained the reputation of being, America's leading "ape man." He competes with his friend GeMora and received the film fingernails and toenails, the very ex-including "House of Mystrry." "Island of Lost Souls," "Lost Jungle" and "We're Not Dressing." 1 BEG.
