SCHNABEL.

WHY HE DOES NOT PLAY ENCORES,

To meet and talk with Artur Schnabel, who last month gave a recital of souatna in the Free Trade Hall, is to be given son in sight into the remarkable devotion and high seriousness which has been the quality by which he com- mends himself to music-lovers in all parts of the world. After the con cert a Manchester Guardian repre- resentative approached Mr. Schnaisel with a view to discovering the main reasons of his refusal to grant cores to any audience matter its importance or insistence. Mr. Schnabel took pains to make it evident that he spoke for hira- self alone. In my opinion," her said, the artist is the only dicta tor, and he must never to what he doesn't like. Remember I don't blame other artists whom it pleases to give encores. That is a personal matter.

Then that is the very corrup; tion of applause," Mr Schnabel replied. The applause is the re ceipt, not the bill. In the drawing up of my programme I have a cer tain idea, as if of a form of archi- testure, and you know that if a building is erected one cannot add a single ornament if one is think- ink of its shape."

Wren's story," Beau Sabrear" now showing at the Majestie" Theatre, Kowloon, Gary Cooper tops the list of favourites playing the title råle in this production, which directed by John Waters and super- rised by Milton Hoffman. Cooper has the role of Major Henri de Beaujolais, a dashing young officer who becomes embroiled in a series at thrilling adventures with a beautiful American girl He be comes infatuated with her, despite his sacred vow that he would give everything for France and never again look at another women-

Evelyn Brent, for many years a star in her own name, plays the girl Mary Vanbrugh.

The role of the treacherous. Pecqua, master mind of the Sabara desert tribes, is in the capable hands of William Powell, whose characterisation of Bollini 112 "Beau Goste" brought bim fame. Mitchell Lewis is his chief cohort, Suleiman the Strong, a renegade of the desert, and Arnold Kent plays Raoul de Redon, a friend of Henri.

There are three outstanding cordy parts, and they are essayed by Noah Beery, as the genial bluffer, the Sheikh El Hamel, tribe leader; Resece Karus as Baddy, the Grand Vizier, and Joan Standing as the maid Maudic.
