Although obviously under a nerve strain that cannot be attributed to stage fright in one who is so seasoned a recitalist, her tone was pure and clean and bowing and fingering skillful. "Some of the expected expression was lacking, particularly in the Tartini sonata which opened the program, but the Bach chaconne from the fourth sonata, for violin alone, a tremendously taxing work, was played with all the sympathy one could wish. Miss Rink's program throughout was an enormous one for a student, and would have been sO for any player. The chaconne calls for speed, accuracy, nimble fingering, skillful bowing, and a long memory, and Miss Rink produced them all. In addition to this and the Tartini sonata, she played a Bruch concerto in minor, and a group of three shorter concert pieces.

a Chopin nocturne that is familiar as piano music, and that was arranged for violin by Leopold Auer; Ries' familiar and exqrisite "La and Sarasate's darkly charming "Ziguenerweisen, based on a Russian gypsy air. Miss Rink's accompanist was Henrietta Clark Miller, who has played for all of her recitals since she has been a student at Millikin, and who came down from Chicago. her present home, for the affair. Her work was as always sympathetic and skillful. Amaranth Past Officers Have Club A new club for past matrons and past patrons of Order of the Amaranth has been organized in Decatur, and Mrs.

At the Lincoln through Tuesday. Preview experts of "Love and Hisses" were wise. They said that Simone Simon could sing but left out the shots of the play when she actually sang. It gives the public something to talk about because those who heard her last night know now that she Simone makes an auspicious debut as a screen-singer musical comedy star in the new Walter Winchell and Ben Bernie picture, which opened Sunday at the Lincoln. She has a well-trained voice and sings with poise.

charm and personality. More than ever, the picture showed that Hollywood has excellent talent, which seems to be still in the making. Winchell Bernie do their usual job of troupprofessional ing and create a good comedy with their constant efforts at ribbing each other. Joan Davis scores a fair toll of laughs with her antics, particularly good when she sings, "Oh, What a Man." a number written by Lew Pollack and Sidney Mitchell. Her man is the comedian Bert Lahr, who scores heavily with his own comedy.

They make a well-blended comedy team. Dick Baldwin. a promising newcomer to the screen, plays the romantic interest opposite Simone and sings "I Wanna Be in Winchell's Column," which is one of those strangely catching tunes. It is a Mack Gordon and Harry Revel song K. C.
