The recording in both casta reproduces the contrasting of the two voices In admirable fashion. Of special interest and general appeal is the recording of a number of Chopin L'tudes by Wllhclrn Bachaus. pianist. The Bachaus performance Is recorded on six double-faced records. Mlscha Elman offers brilliant performances of "Caprice In Flat Major" (an arrangement by Krcisler of the Welniawsk! original) and "Vocalise," one of Rachmaninoff's compositions.

The first number Is brilliant, requiring technical skill and musicianship. The second number Is slower in tempo and calls for perfect tone production. Perhaps the greatest novelty Is the record which marks the debut of William S. Hart (Bill Hart of Western movie fame), as a Victor artist. Long before he ever heard of movies, Bill had made an envible reputation on the speaking stage and the telling; manner in which he recites "Lasca" and "I'lnto Hen" on Ms record explains his popularity.

"Anna Christie" Is a vehicle offering strong characterization wiih adequate facilities for portrayal of the utmost In histrionic art. For the title role of "Anna Christie." Schofield has cast Gertrude Thorpe. Mrs. Thorpe Is known for htr dramatic talent that his been shown In other productions of former years. Schofield will portray the colorful "Chris Christopherson." while Wells Glnn will depict the part of Burke." Other characters in the ploy be enacted by David McNeil, William H.

Harrison, Verne Fitxpatrirk, Helen Darrell and others "Annie Christie" Is said to be on of the strongest pieces of characterization that came from the O'Neill pen. In order to save his daughter Anna from a life near "dat old devil, sea," Chris Christopherson placed her In the keeping of her mother's cousins on a farm. The daughter's aubsequent hardships and experiences in the world bring her to him to live. How Chris endeavors to keep Anna from a life on the sea. and how her life la Inevitably tangled with the "deep blue" la the thread of the story.

O'Neill pictures with grim Irony the efforts of old Chris to fight the fate which surrounds him and his daughter. The membership campaign of the Cincinnati Civic Little Theater Association, which mutual organization has made possible the offering of the little theater plays and the presentation of several other attractions In the allied arts, the first of which was the Kreutzberg-Georgi dance recital during the past week, will be given considerable impetus during the week. J. H. Thuman, general manager of the theater.

Is handling the details of the campaign during the absence of Mrs. William H. Albers, general chairman, whose return from Europe has been delayed for a week or ten days. NEW PROGRAM LAUNCHED. Radio pictures banner has mapped out an ambitious program for 1923-30 a program that will Include 30 major productions, four of roadshow magnitude.

Two of the offerings already have been selected "Hit the Deck" and "Rio Rita." The former is Vincent Youman's musical hit, and the latter is Florenz Ziegfeld's current success. These two productions will be presented to please the ear as well as the eye, using RCA Photophone equipment to record sound throughout their entire length. For this purpose sound-proof stages are near completion, and all necessary Photopho ie equipment Is on hand flt the RKO Studios In Hollywood. TWO VERSIONS PLANNED. Nearly a year after Columbia Pictures had announced the acquisition of "Redemption," by Count Leo Tolstoi, as one of the specials of its 1928-1929 program, M.

G. M. issues a statement that It bought the right to the play from Arthur Hopkins, to serve as vehicle for John Gilber', with Fred Nlblo at the megaphone. In the meantime Columbia has com pleted the screen adaptation, put Its O.K. on all preliminary steps, and camera work on "Redemption" has started this week.

It will be itnerestlng to watch not only which production will reach the screen first, but also the results achieved by the widely different methods of both organizations. ATTENDANCE RECORD SET. The demand for reservations foi the remaining nine performances of "The Passion rlay," at St. John's Auditorium, Green and Republic Streets, Indicates that attendance records for the 12 years during which the religious drama has been given at St. John's will be broken, according to Rev.

Symphorlan Welner, O. F. pastor of the church. The third public performance will be given this afternoon at 2:15. The tonal setting given the production by the choir of 75 voices Is attracting special attention this year.

VARIETY AMONG EXTRAS. In shooting the final scenes In Pathe's first Morton Downey picture, "Mother's Boy," this week, some picturesque extras were used. Among them was a delegation of drifters from the celebrated Tom Noonan Mission In New York's Chinatown. Included In this delegation were an old-time actor, a down-at-the-heela scion of German nobility, a high-born Russian and others who had seen better days. Each received $7.50 per day's work, with eats thrown In.

The second record (No. 4229), comprises the "Arabesque In Major," and "Arabesque In Major," from Debussy's "Deux Arabesques." Colorful and brilliant, they offer an opportunity for delicacy and sureness of touch of which the most is made by this perfectly coordinated ensemble Marie Morrisey's warm, full contralto Is heard with pleasure in two delightful numbers, MacFadycn'g "Cradle Song." and de Kovpn'n "Oh, Promise Me" (No. Cnusually rich accompaniments Including orchestra, organ and chimes, make the numbers doubly appealing.

Two redoubtable battlers are immortalized in amusing song by Dusty Rhodes and his guitar under the titles of "Shanghai Rooster" and "Mike, the Turk" (No. 283).

The guitar Is more than a mere adjunct. The Collier Trio, a new aggregation, consisting of two guitars and banjo, makes a favorable first Impression with two old favorites, "The Bluebird Waltz" and "Irene Waltz" (No. 2fi9). The unusual combination of Instruments Is quite pleasing. The Crockett Family Mountaineers' latest offering for fiddle-band fans (No.

Leading In Interest, in the latest list of Victor recordings Is Richard Strauss's "Uln Heldenleben." played In Its entirety by the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra of New York, under direction of Willem Mengel-berg. The orchestra of 124 pieces is the largest ever recorded by Victor and the recording was done In Car negie Hall. Another famous American orchestra, the San FranclFCo Symphony, with Alfred Hertz conducting, contributes Lieethoven's "Ieonore Overture No. 3." In the hands of Dr.

Hertz and his men It is played with a sympathetic understanding that developer to the fullest Its many beautiful passages.

Their best numbers are "Yesterday's House," with Its touch of romantic interest, and Mr. Murphy's "Winter Camp." a sensatively painted snow scene with an interesting color design. Among the student members we find William Genhart's black and white drawing called "Virginia," a naive and Interesting expression.

If that quality is found in an artist's work, one may be reasonably sure that that particular artist will make or has made a lasting effect in art. We find Individuality of vision one of the most potent factors in Benjamin Miller's wood-block engravings, now on view at the Closson Galleries. This current exhibition is more thoroughly representative of the man and his art than any show he has ever given, as it contains examples of his entire collection of 47 wood-block engravings. In these wood cuts the visitor may see pretty much the whole range of Mr. Miller's pictorial and human interest and creative invention, from his earliest wood-block, "The Prodigal Son," produced in 1924 through the now celebrated Salome series, the subtly humorous and human "The Madam and Adam Naming the Animals" and "Susan" and the "Elders," which contains his occasional note of irony, to the powerful and disturbing' "My Son," which la among the six prints produced in 1928.

Mr. Miller may be said to be a recent convert to the medium of wood engraving, as his first print was produced in 1924. Since that time he has given almost his entire time to this fascinating art. Before that there was a period of about 20 years 1n which Mr. Miller was engrossed in painting.

In his painting we encountered an element that has been developed to its fullest measure in black and white, and that is quality of tone. I believe Mr. Miller will acknowledge that this is the case. AV'e also know that this artist had at one time a great enthusiasm for Japanese prints, but in Mr. Miller's decidedly individual style there is no trace of this Influence.

If there is any influence at all traceable, it is in his early prints, and there is a suggestion of their kinship with the modern German wood engravings. In this display at Closson's there is a boundless play of Mr. Miller's fancy. There are no ties to be discovered here In his latest work; those ties, if there were any, have long been severed and quite another sphere of inventiveness lifts them to a plane of their own. In Mr.

Miller's latest prints we are conscious of enormous freedom freedom in design, freedom in imaginative creative Invention, but, most of all, freedom in the actual cut. The ideas back of the designs are the factors that show the intellectual caliber of Mr. Miller's inventive mind, but it is the skillful use of the tool that gives his wood cuts the glyptic quality so much desired, that quality which differentiates a wood cut from a pen-and-ink drawing. As a wood engraver Mr. Miller does not follow any beaten path; he works easily with black on white or white an DiaCK.

iwo OI ma letueisi jjiiino, "The City" and "Samson Destroying the Temple," show what extraordinary decorative effect can be obtained with white on black or vice versa. In 'The City" the deep blacks have a velvety softness, a mellow, rich gray which permits the grain of the wood to enter Into the decorative scheme. We are confronted here with an amazing idea Christ has come to a modern city; all the characters found in a milling crowd of a city, blind to Christ and his significance, form a strange design in the lower background around the Christ figure. Electric signs, significant of the time spirit, are woven into a handsome border in an upper zone. The halo of Christ is a huge electric sign.

The design of "Sam-on Destroying the Temple" is powerful in line and rhythm and it exemplifies the black-on-white method. "My Son" is the most emotional and dramatic of all the later prints with the single exception of "Judith in the Tent of They both abound in beauty of design. The severity of light and dark gives emphasis to the tragedy of both motives. It is impossible to analyze the emotional reaction to "My Son." God, the Imperturbable, receives his son but without emotion. I will not attempt to set down the description of this strange and remote motive; It reems isolated from all the rest.

Examine "Judith in the Tent of Holoferness" and one will "find it mighty in Its plrtorlallsm. The pattering Is. not as Intricate as that of tb oHjr, but tt is worked out with, vm ML AT CLOSSON MLEES Art Circles with a delightful modulation of glowing color which is related so that by contrast It complements the somewhat terse statement of char acter. The drawing of all parts is done with metriculous care and con siderablo power that gives a glowing movement of form and line. This, In turn, gives to the interpretation of character and the posture of the sitter a dignity that is commendable in portraiture.

As a portrait we find it most Impressive as it Is conceived in great seriousness with in tent of rendering a truth-to-nature likeness rather than a glorified painting of a young woman. Character, in a portrait. Is much more interesting and valuable than idealization. For one who enjoys Western moun tain scenery the pictorial quality of Wilbur Adam's paintings cf Glacier I'ark and Waterton Lakes Park will be particularly enticing, for In them Mr. Adam reveals himself as a color-Ist of distinction as well as an artist who can command a panoramic view of stupendous subjects subjects which are honestly seen and rendered with uncommon courage.

The paintings, realistic to a degree, have a vividness that Is almost startling. Different, this country is, from our Middle West with its atmosphere clear and wind-swept; it lacks the haze and fogs with which Ohio shrouds her hills. So these high-keyed landscapes, with their brilliant surfaces and lush greens, give us new Ideas of the glorious West where the sense of distance Is tremendous. Surely it is difficult for an artist to record on canvas the brilliant and elusive colors which make this wide stretching land a lyric of blooming splendor, but we find Mr. Adam has recorded them with rare brilliancy.

Over the stretches of mountain and valley, seen under an open and brilliant sky. the sun plays the color into magnificent patterns of blue, gold, yellow, reds and greens which In instances gleam like great flashing jewels. The distant mountains add much to the view with their blue out lines etched against the clear azure sky. This great orchestration of color Is seen again at the foot of the mountain mirrored In the water of lake or stream. Under gathering rain clouds Glacier Park show a whol (ramut of blues and greena, tuned to a lower key.

Along tumbling waters great Boulders are painted by the sun with burning reds. One thing is certain that in this Western country colors must change with amazing rapidity and Mr. Adam must have a swift brush to have out run these changes. But Mr. Adam makes us understand and realize that here Is midsummer in the West and the sun has made it a land of en chanting color.

The atmosphere, so clear and harsh, emphasizes the moat minute gradations. From the standpoint of envelop ment and command of ensemble we marked Swiftcurrent Valley as the finest rendering. The pictorial quality of this canvas is exceedingly beauti ful. Our next favorite is. "Early Morning.

Citadel Park." Here is a fine mood which the artist haj made captive. Then comes "Swiftcurrent Falls at Midday," with its fine pic torial interest, and "Rainy Day at Mount Wilbur." The following Item from the Man chester Guardian indicates the widespread interest of the English people tn the distressing conditions In their mining districts: One of the most interestingly con ceived end brilliantly painted Sar- gents In private hands has been purchased by the trustees of the Hamilton Bequept from Miss Uad-clyffe HaU for 1,000.

McMillan OPEN EVENINGS great feeling and understanding. While both prints are highly lmagi native they are markedly different. There is not doubt that the Judith is a remarkable print, and I think I am safe in saying it will become as justly celebrated as Mr. Miller's most popular print, "Edgar Allen Poe." Before leaving this print let us note the majestic sweep of the tent lines and observe how cleverly the artist has utilized the grain of the wood to obtain a flowing, swaying movement of the tent. Observe the magnificent figure of the anguished Judith and through the open flap of the tent behold the distant city and the dramatic moon which illumines the tragic scene which has been enacted In the tent.

One can readily imagine from its terse statement, the mystery and glory of an Oriental moonlight night. Now we will turn to the graceful design of the "Adam and Eve." It shows brute force in the grip of the shadowed figure of Adam and the passiveness of Eve. There, too, Is the chattering snake and a fine old apple tree with its lovely foliage and fruit forms. One can see that the para mount element back of Mr. Miller's prints is the Idea of the design, but a a desien Dure and simple, the underlying pattern of Adam and Eve is a splendid space filler.

The central motives are large and commanding In a small area and one can hardly fail to see the effectiveness of the cut. From the standpoint of sheer beauty "Audrey Beardsley" is perhaps the outstanding print. Other prints Mr, Miller has carried to a more spec tacular end but this print has a cer tain quality all its own. The back ground of' the symbolic figure of this celebrated artist is made up of ex pprna from his own designs, with a few others to augment the composi tion and what a handsome composi tion it makes! One that is filled with a certain mysticism to which the eyes of the symbolic figure give emphasis. Its many symbols and clean cut lines are presented with a simplicity that attends the fine art of wood engraving.

Every mark is redolent of the tool. The same in cisive fineness, the singular clarity of design is felt In the view of "Mt. Adams." Here the compositions gathers into a running pattern that leads up to a height which is crowned by the church with a cross. Here again Is evidence of mysticism. The church expressed the spirit of the hill.

Much of the beauty of a starry night is felt in "La Rocke," which is one of Mr. Miller's latest series. The grain of the wood is used again here with telling effect but most of its charm lies In the depth of the star-embroidered sky. Mr. Miller's Salome series Is one of his most thrilling developments.

From this aeries we select "Salome with the Head of St. John," or "I have Kissed Thy Mouth," because this powerful print seems to be the climax of these dramatic episodes. Wilbur Adam opens his exhibition at Closson Gallaries with a showing of 29 landscapes, grouped around his latest portrait, that of Mrs. B. Gates Dawes, which uphold his reputation as a skillful painter and fine technician.

Our first concern is with the portrait of Mrs. Dawes, reproduced in the art gravure section of this Issue. Here Mr. Adam, as one may readily see from the reproduction. Is essentially a naturalist in Intention as it is a careful and conscientious example of portrait painting.

He delivers at first hand ft downright statement of- what his keen eyes have observed. His delight In painting has not 14 his eye away from actualities until his brush touches accessories; then he arranges and enriches his tehem of composition FREE 1 Delivery I I hi One of the chief distinguishing characteristics of the par golfer is that he is forever making little practice swings. Even before h.j putts and while studying hla line he pr.ic-tice-swinga his putter. At evcty tournament you have ever seen you must have been impressed by the very noticeable prevalence, of practice swinging. "You'd think those birds would have their swings in working ordc: before they ever came heic and wouldn't have to be practicing them all the time," I once heard a gallery-Ite remaik at a tournament.

Practice swinging with the big shots Is for a different purpose. They recognize, through painful expeilnce, that the muscles can form br.d almost Instantaneously and that the only way to keep their golfing muscles In the straight and narrow path Is keep them forever dlsclp-lirrd In good habits. Who could be more letter-perfect than Mac Smith, whose machine-like golf has but one drawback It is to perfect it becomes almost colorless to watch. Yet this master styllat alwayi makes two practice swings before each real swing. And of'n this same player, after making a pitch to the green, will stand there while his gallery moves on, m-iking additional practice swings.

He Ignores the shot already made. This serves a double purpose: It gives him more practice swings, meaning additional disciplininiz of his muscle, and at the same Unvs he can rehearse looking it the ball epd, which in reality is disciplining his attention. And In addition to all this Mac Smith pokes cotton In hla ears so he won't hear any of the little noises that float around In even the best-behaved of galllerlea. All this is to the point of howing you that improvement is by narrow margins and that applies regardless of the scores you may be playing to now. Copyright, John If.
