Good Morning! The "best seller" by MacKinlay Kantor has been accorded respectful and intelligent treatment by ths movie makers, and if you are interested in houn' dawgs and the Missouri backwoods folk who love and breed them, why "The Voice of Bugle Ann should prove ace entertainment for you. The scenes of the story are laid in the backwoods of Missouri, where the favorite outdoor sport is a queer sort of fox hunting. The natives lovingly raise hounds and painstakingly train them to chase foxes all by themselves. The dogs' masters build a nice, cheery fire and, on dampish, sticky nights gather 'round it while their pooches chase the same fox to its hole, where it hides to run program in the Studebaker theater yesterday afternoon, gave a piano sonata by Castelnuova-Tedesco its first American performance. This contemporary Italian composer has ventured to include two "blues" movements in his freely constructed work.

The blues make no great attempt to salvage the vivid melodic progressions characteristic of the American product, and confine themselves for the most part to piquant rhythms and misty tone colorings. Castelnuova-Tedesco has a flair for stimulating, slightly out of focus harmonies too, but this observation applies to the sonata as a whole and not to the blues movements especially. Miss Verson shows real courage in presenting a program made up exclusively of the works of contemporary composers. There is no denying the fact that such rigid limitations on the time range of a recital reduce its general interest. An all ISth century program would have the same drawback, for the conclusion is inescapable that each generation of composers used and overused a few devices, often excellent in themselves, that were novel at the time and since have pased into history.

The 20th century is overusing rhythmic caprice, deliberately off center harmonies, self-conscious melodies that are embarrassed if they find themselves fitting into a frankly lyric line more than four bars in length. Miss Verson has a nice sense of poetry. Her tonal effects are kept within the bounds of good piano playing by an ever careful ear. Those ENGAGEMENTS BY JUDITH CASS. IT is rather difficult to plan a surprise party for two friends and at the same party surprise every one with the announcement of one's own engagement, but these complex plans were carried out successfully yesterday at a tea given by Miss Dorothy Bard for Miss Dania and Miss Mary Mavor, who are sailing for Europe next week.

All of the young people who gathered in the Francis Norwood Bards' hospitable home in Egandale road, Highland Park, at the tea and cocktail hour heard with pleasure that Mr. and Mrs. Bard were announcing the engagement of Miss Dorothy to Joshua D. Derry, son of Mr. and Mrs.

William Roberts Derry of Augusta, Ga. Miss Bard's engagement to the young southerner does not come as a great surprise to their closest friends, for he has been a constant suitor almost ever since he became engaged in business in Chicago and moved here to become a resident of Winnetka, sharing bachelor quarters with three other young men, Gar-ritt Van Schaick, William Payne, and Martin Kerwin. Bride-to-Be a Debutante of the 1932 Season. Miss Bard was educated at Royce-more school and at Connecticut college. She was presented to society at a tea in the fall of 1932, and during the last winter she and her mother took a cruise around South America from which they returned a few weeks ago.

Miss Bard's younger sister, Marian, returned from her studies at Sarah Lawrence college to attend the engagement party yesterday. Mr. Derry, who is a nephew of the John H. Harmons and the Hubert Harmons, attended Richmond academy in Augusta. The wedding will take place next fall.

The Misses Mavor will be traveling with Mrs. Harry Combs of Evans-ton, who is an old friend of their mother, Mrs. Morton R. Mavor of Highland Park. They will sail on the Volendam, May 21, to spend three months in France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, and Italy.

Apparently neither the dogs nor the fox ever learn. The pups are summoned home by bugles. The engagement of Miss Lois Montgomery, daughter of Mrs. Harry G. Guthmann of Evanston and of Charles Pearson Montgomery of Upper Mont-clair, N.

to John Francis Penner, son of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Penner of Milwaukee, is being announced today. Mr. Penner attended the University of Wisconsin, and Miss Montgomery will be graduated from the university in June.

Her disappearance proves not to have been the work of the murderee and there's quite a bit of mystery connected with it.

The "love interest" is a romance between the son of Davis and the daughter of the man he kills. Perhaps the most dramatic sequence is that where, on the witness stand, Old Man Davis tells, why ae would kill a man on account of a dog.

One letter writer inquires the identity of the distinguished looking, elderly gentleman who comes into the Chicago and North Western station lunchroom frequently, carrying three boxes of popcorn under his arm, orders two bowls of milk, empties the contents of two boxes of popcorn into his milk, and eats it with obvious relish. Another writes to ask the identity of the man who, every day for three years, rain or snow, has stood in the street, just off the sidewalk at the northwest corner of Lake and Wells, at about 8:30 o'clock, mumbling to himself. A third asks who is, and suggests a medal for, the young woman who promenades the lake front every day of the year, even in subzero weather, wearing riding boots, brown topcoat, and cap. We have never seen any of these people ourself, but feel that if the young lady who promenades the lake front wore her brown wool coat and cap and boots during the recent warm days she deserves a medal for endurance. THE following letter was written to a woman WPA head in a midwestern town: Dere Miss Robins, I am writing you to get a pair of pants off of you.

I wrote to Miss Smith who had your job before you to try and get a pair of pants off of her, and I wrote to the lady who had the job before her to try to get a pair of pants off of her. Now I am trying to get a pair of pants off of you." MEMBER of the R. O. T. C.

staf of the city schools, Maj. Wade C. Gatchell, likes to tell a story of a cadet who was one of his students when Cadet he was instructor Playwright in one of the Identities schools. In prepa-Letter. ration for a fed eral inspection he had told the students that if they did not know the answer to a question asked by the visiting inspector they should say "I don't remember," and never "I don't know." That at least indicates that you have been instructed as to the subject concerned," he pointed out.

The day of the inspection arrived, and the visiting officer, coming to a lad standing nervously at attention, varied his formula slightly. Instead of asking one of the technical questions the cadet expected, he said, "What's your name?" "I don't remember," answered the boy, gulping nervously. THE customary conception of a playwright is of a man working midnight, smoking innumerable cigarets, and drinking quantities of black coffee. Clifford Odets, author of "Awake and Sing," which the Group Theater is presenting at the Selwyn, wrote his play in the dressing room between acts. He was an actor at the time, understudying Luther Adler in Success Story." Odets, sitting patiently in the dressing room night after night, waiting for a chance to go on that never came, finally got mad and swore he would write a play with a leading part in it for himself.

He worked eight months, and the result was Awake and Sing." and finish.
