The public is Invited. him the opportunity of playing a homespun role. He puts aside uniforms and Russian characterizations to portray the "black cheep" of a southern family. It might have been any amily, but the South apparently was chosen as the locale of the story to bring in some Negro spirituals. Jeff, played by Tibbett, roamed the country as a tramp.

He had left home because of the hate stirred between himself and his brother, Rodman, After five years he returns, to find Rodman married to a beautiful girl he treats viciously because of Jealousy. Jeff arrives in time to prevent Antonla, played by Esther Ralston, from running away from Rodman. Jeff and Antonia fall in love, though Jeff tries, to get away, to rejoin the tramps of the road, but his mother, the head of the family, steps in to promise happiness to Jeff and She eends Jeff away finally to get the wanderlust worked out of his system, promising him that Antonia will be free when he returns. It Is Tibbett's singing that carries the. picture.

One song, "Without a Song," Is particularly appealing. There are some good musical sequences in a Negro colony on a southern plantation. Roland Young. Cliff Edwards, and Stepin Fetchlt have comedy roles in which they do exceedingly well. The program also includes a newsreel and a comedy.

Junior Dep't Program Tonight the students in the Junior department will present a combined music and dramatie program. MLss Mae Holmes, director of the department, has been assisted in the preparation by Miss Marjory Rockwell, who presents her students in Rachel Field's one-act play, "Theories and Thumbs." Ithaca children who will appear In the play are Elizabeth Turvery, Dorothy Conley, Peggy Work, Helen Gustafson, Joanne Heath, and Marjorle Hardnburg. The play Giovanni Martinelll, celebrated Italian tenor of the Metropolitan opera, comes to Ithaca this week for the third time, and will be heard in Bailey Hall Thursday night at 8:15 An adience equal in size to thai which recently greeted Helfetz is in store for Martlnelli, for the Cornell Music Department announced today that stage seats have been put on sale.

Martinelll filled the stage, also, at his last Cornell appearance a few seasons past. The program will be in eight parts, three of which will be groups of short selections. The major numbers will be ariaa from "Tosca," "Carmen," and Pag-liaccl," a Chopin nocturne, and a Haydn sonata. Martinelll was born at Monta-gnana Italy, on October 22, 1885. He showed musical talent at an early age, but his father, with a large family, lacked means for his training.

Compulsory military service was really responsible for the discovery of Martinelll. "Discovered" In Army He served in the Italian army and played clarinet in a regimental band. One night a captain, passing the barracks, heard the rich voice of the young soldier, sent for hint, and advised him to go to Milan where he knew a family to back him. That was the starting point of Martinelli's career. He has been a member of the Metropolitan Opera since 1913.

Among his popular roles are the leading parts in such operas as "Aida," "Carmen," "Samson and Dalila," "Faust," "Tosca," "Rigo-letto," "Juive," "Andrea Chenier," "Le Prophete," "Boheme," and "Pagliacci." Max Montor Tonight Interest attaches tonight to the coming of Max Montor, internationally noted actor and Impersonator, who will entertain a University Theater audience with two dramt-ic selections. The first presentation will be scenes from Ibsen's play, "The Pretenders." The second will be in I've seen Paris Fashions says Certainly the most technically perfect production and, with the exception of the recent "Wing Over Europe." the most interesting Work of the Cornell Dramatic Club of the season is the present vehicle "Ghosts." a laboratory theater production. It was presented Saturday night at the University Theater. The play marks the return of Prof. A.

It is a great play carefully done and while it is not necessarily the type to meet with popular interest it is a noteworthy milestone in the progress of the university theater. Henrik Ibsen's "Ghosts" is familiar to many. The widow of the profligate who uses his money to build an orphan asylum; the muddled pastor who is as easily fooled as he is shocked; the decadent son who goes insane as a result of his hereditary disease these characters, the problem and its suggested solution are common to lovers of the drama. Only 5 In the Cast Four exceptionally fine characterizations were turned in by students in Dramatic Production. Each was a finished bit and each contributed to the entity of the whole.

There are only five characters in the play and four control all of the tense situations. Harry Albright as the simple parson, befuddled on almost every moral issue, taking refuge in his platitudes at the raising of each issue has -a part which demanded strength and he gave to it poise and discrimination. His speeches were delivered as a result of careful thought and his situations handled with a skill which made the part thoroughly alive. Opposite him was Sara Gaither as Mrs. Alving.

She also had an integral, task to perform and did it well. In only one of her tense scenes with her son did she eeem to miss the mark and in the final moment she contributed not a little to the lasting effect. Ovation Given Ferguson Frank Ferguson as Jacob, the hypocritical carpenter who fools the parson at every juncture gave one of the finest character portrayals of the year. His voice, gait, and manner were blended in an interpretation which earned him his ovation at the end. Arthur Gray as the son had the fourth major part and did very well in some difficult situations.

He handled himself well' and formed an important link in th sequence which must seem natural in order to produce the desired effect. Mary Rogers had the fifth part, that of the daughter and filled it capably. The play as itself is perhaps the height of the so-called "problem" drama and as such devotes itself more to introspection than action. Still, it Is intensely alive and should attract two more large audiences in its final presentation next week-end. R.B.R.
