A FINNY TALE
Down among the briny bubbles, l i t t l e fishes swim, While mermaids comb their seawood and manicure their f ins. The whales are busy spouting that their lives are not a cinch. Crustaceons go on crabbing 'cause they've got into a pinch. The clams are very close-mouthed, i t is a family t r a i t , Octopussys are meowing 'cause their lives are only eight.
But down around Town Tavern, Things are not that way.
The seafood reigns supreme, And holds one in its sway.
The shrimp is in his glory, The eel is at his best.
Perriwinkles are delicious, As well as al l the rest.
Here everyone is happy, You, the f ish and we.
Perhaps the secret lies I n our kinship to the sea.

The Hall Johnson Choir is the culmination of a lifelong dream of a brilliant young negro whose childhood memories were filled to overflowing with snatches of negro folk songs and spirituals sung by his grandmother.
* * * * When the Pulitzer prize-winning
play, "The Green Pastures," was being cast, Hall Johnson was asked to arrange the musical score and to include a select group of voices from his choir in the company. Sixty members were chosen, and during the five years that "The Green Pastures" was presented on Broadway and on tour through the United States and Canada, the Hall Johnson Choir formed an important part of the cast.

We have had many inquiries about stage plays and the possibility of ever bringing any more great shows to Portland. For some time we have had to say that the future looked dark. Nothing seemed to offer any encouragement. The conditions seemed to make i t impossible to even think of having more than an occasional roadshow once every year or so. The 1937-38 season looks more promising.

Only one week is left to purchase tickets for Yehudi Menuhin's violin concert, which will be presented at the Paramount Theatre, Wednesday evening, October 27. Tickets have been going rapidly. The sale wil l be at the J. K. Gill Company box office until 5 o'clock on the evening of the concert, and then wil l be moved to the Paramount Theatre at 6:30.
$ $ ^ * So great was the crowd of dis
appointed concert-goers who were too late to get tickets for MENUHIN'S San Francisco concerts on September 30 and October 3, that Peter Conley, manager of the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra and concert impresario, immediately engaged Menuhin for a repeat concert next June. Already the tickets for that concert are more than two-thirds gone.
During the two years that young M E N U H I N has been in retirement, he has gone through much music, looking for concert material among contemporary works and among neglected classics. He prefers to work from urtexts (first print of a piece during its composer's lifetime) and has now an immense collection of these, including the complete collection of Bach urtext editions, probably the only such collection in America. Another of his treasures is the only original score in the world of Paganini's D major concerto, whose second and third movement he restored to the concert platform.

Marcel Dupre's daughter, Marguerite, will play the piano in a recital of piano and organ music at the Auditorium, on Sunday afternoon, November 7. DUPRE composed the selection to be played throughout the entire American tour of the organ virtuoso, who played for the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
* , * * * Lauren B. Sykes, Portland organ
ist and promoter of organ recitals in the Rose City, says that DUPRE is the "worlds' greatest organist." No one can dispute Dupre's supremacy in the organ field. He is organist of St. Sulpice in Paris, Grand Prix de Rome, Officier de la Legion d'Honneur, Professor of Organ at the Parish National Conservatory, and at the Paris Ecole Nor-male de Musique. Without exception, no organist of this generation has created such a sensation as Marcel Dupre."

and J. Ascher Smith, the stage manager, was stage manager of the New York Company of "Three Men On a Horse" and nine other George Abbott productions.
* * * * "SHOW OF SHOWS," which
comes to the AUDITORIUM in November, is an amalgamation of the high spots from the shows created and produced by Billy Rose in the last six years. I t is the cream skimmed from the thick, rich milk of these productions. I t is a summary of his career as a theatrical producer, a new idea in revues.
jfc :fi
From the CASINO de PAREE, first of the theatre night clubs, i t borrows a parade of seductive beauties. From Billy Rose's Music Hall comes the whole amazing congress of performers from old vaudeville.. From Pioneer Palace comes the Six Tiny Rosebuds, and Lulu Bates, the coon-shouting "Lady Known as Lulu."
From the first CASA M A N A N A REVUE at Forth Worth, Texas, in 1936, comes, " I t Happened in Chicago," "The Night Is Young and You're So Beautiful," and the medley of scenes and tunes and costumes in vogue when the World's Fair was held in St. Louis.
From "AQUACADE" at the Great Lakes Exposition at Cleveland, Ohio, the past summer, comes Walter Dere Wahl, the comedian who wrestles indolently and con-vulsingly with an embicilic stooge. The Frazee Sisters come from the same organization.
:•: jj; sfs
Contributions from the second "CASA M A N A N A 'BEST SELLERS' REVUE" at Fort Worth, the past summer are "Oriental Yogi," the breath - taking Stuart Morgan Dancers and the stirring patriotic finale, " I t Can't Happen Here." The musical circus from the New York Hippodrome gives the f irst act finale for "SHOW OF SHOWS."
