THE MICHIGAN DAILY WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1935 Shubert's Loves In Art Cinema By ARTHUR A. MILLER 1 After the latest of the Art Cinema League's private films screenings, it was decided to bring "Unfinished Symphony" to the Lydia Mendels- sohn Theater for exhibitions next Friday and Saturday evenings. Members of the League have seen foreign movies privately since the beginningofthe semester but not since "Man of Aran" was shown have they unanimously concurred in the suitability of a film as they have in "Unfinished Symphony." The picture was produced by Gau- mont-British. It is the story of Franz Shubert's life and with the playing of the B-minor symphony, Ave Maria and others of the com- poser's works, it is said to do the master full justice. Shubert is played by Hans Jaray and from the likenesses available of the composer, Jaray might very well be a reincarnated Shubert. Celebration For Homecoming Is This Week-End Pep Meeting, Unveiling Of Pictures, Decorations Are Features (Continued from Page 1) Union, after which they will march down State Street to the Stadium, accompanied by the corps of Varsity cheerleaders. Saturday night, the Athletic As- sociation will fete Michigan sports writers at a dinner in the Union, as- sociation officials announced last night. Dixon called attention to the fact that Mr. Baird is commonly credited with having built up the Michigan athletic plant to its present point, where it is considered the finest in the country. "Always an active alumnus, a bene- factor to the University through both his time and his money, it is only fit- ting that the "M" Club give M. Baird his due honor," Dixon said. He urged students to attend the cere- mony in the Union and follow the band to the station. Nearly 60,000 persons are expected to attend the Homecoming game Sat- urday afternoon, officials at the Ath- letic Association's ticket office said. The game will not only be colorful from the standpoint of a fierce grid- iron fight, they pointed out, but also because of the fact that the gaudily- outfitted Pennsylvania band, noted throughout the East as an outstand- ing musical organization, will parade on the field between halves. Are Displayed Social Science 's Latest Picture Council Offers Helen Chandler is the first love of Shubert during the days when he had to pawn his belongings at her fath- er's shop. The locale of the picture is Vienna, where Shubert lived, and Hungary where Marta Eggerth, his second love, spent her days in her father's feudal mansion. Miss Eggerth portrays the part of a countess who has disrupted Shu- bert's debut by laughing during his playing of his B-minor symphony at a fashionable Vienna salon. This break in his performance occurs at the juncture where he is conceiving a new ending for his symphony and from then until he realizes his love for the countess he is unable to com- plete his work. With due credit to the acting in "Unfinished Symphony," the music which is supplied by the Vienna Phil- harmonic Orchestra and the singing of the famous Vienna Boys Choir, overshadows all the rest. Miss Eg- gerth is a member of the Vienna Opera Company and her singing, combined with her dancing, especial- ly during the scene in a Hungarian tavern, is said to be refreshing, com- ing as it does through the medium of the screen. Throughout the picture there is no trace of Hollywood's "playing up" to the musical sequences. Reviewers state that Jaray, as Shubert, is con-' vincing and when an unseen orches- tra blends with his piano offerings it is "more like a stream of fin- ished music flowing through his mind than an inserted accompaniment." According to Prof. Harold J. Mc- Farlan of the engineering college, chairman of the League's faculty board, the showing of "Unfinished Symphony" was not "entirely expect- ed." For Professor McFarlan declared that if "Man of Aran" hadn't been such a complete success, "Unfinished Symphony" would have had to re- main one of those pictures the League could not afford to bring to Ann Arbor."
