Robin- son and Joan Blondell in "Bullets or Ballots"; Mary Boland and Charlie Ruggles in "Early To Bed," plus a cartoon.

NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS There is no violinist in the world of music today who stands no absolutely alone in his art as Jascha Heifetz. Thousands flock to his concerts in every cultured part of the habitable globe to find his playing flawless.' Mr. Ileifetz will open the Masonic Auditorium Concert series on Monday evening, Oct. 12. The Jonas European Ballet will present an entire new group of dance selections when they appear here on Nov. 2. Certainly this occasion will be a highlight of the season. It is a brilliant company of fine individual artists who merge their talent in out- standing ensemble performance. Of deep interest is the an- nouncement of the appearance of the famous Boston Symphony Or- chestra with Serge Koussevitzky directing on Dec. 9, 1936. Their concert in Detroit will be one of the finest musical events of the entire season. On Jan. 11, Gladys Swarthout, mezzo-soprano of the Metropoli- tan Opera Company, star of radio, concert and screen, will appear. Vladimir Horowitz, sensational Rusian pianist, who will be in this country for a limited time only, will play in recital on Feb. 1, 1937. On March 30, 1937, James Mel- ton, popular tenor of radio, con- cert and screen will close the series. He will be assisted by the Orpheus Club of Detroit with Charles Frederic Morse con- ducting. Season tickets for these six outstanding attractions are now on sale. You may secure them either by calling the Masonic Temple or the box office at Grin- nell Brothers Music Store.

The Harlem actors had already won considerable fame before coming to Detroit, and it was as • result of their successful run in New York that their version of "Macbeth" is now being shown in Detroit to equally enthusiastic audiences. There are some very fantastic interpretations and scenes, but perhaps the most interesting of the scenes in the play is the second one in act two, "The Jungle," which is so magnificently staged with excellent scenic effects that it is reasonable to believe that only the Negro group could pos- sibly have produced anything like it. This reviewer urges his readers not to miss seeing this production. It is • marvelous experience to witness it. Bill Starr, a catcher, was also brought back from Chattanooga by the Senators to give them the first all-Jewish battery in big league history. Other baseball developments of Jewish interest were the lockout of Dolly Stark, National League um- pire and the only Jewish big league arbiter, who quit rather than ac- cept • salary cut; the selection of Herman Goldberg of New York as a member of the American Olym- pic baseball team; the shrewd busi- ness direction of Harry Grabiner of the Chicago White Sox; the con- tinued activity of Bill Binawanger, president of the Pittsburgh Pir- ates; the managerial records of Jake Atz of Galveston and Joe Bonowitz of Georgia-Florida league; and the continued develop- ment of baseball in England with the help of Abe Kasnoff, Bernard Ziff, Irving Ruvinakl and George Sabrin. BICYCLE RIDING Pedal-pushing was a new sport in which Jews entered the ranks of contenders for the first time. In New York's big aix-day race the all-Jewish team of Louis Cohen and Jerry Rodman didn't finish In the money, but they gave the fans plenty to cheer about, In the Milwaukee six-day race the Jewish combination finished sixth while in the Chicago race they were third.
