ARIESENFELD ON BROADWAY LTHOUGH Dr. Hugo Riesenfeld, theatre impressario, musical conductor and arranger of scores par excellence, is vacationing on his estate near Vienna, he is very much in our midst. At the Capitol Theatre, New York, the other evening we heard his entire musical setting for "The Volga Boatman," just as he prepared it for the Times Square Theatre engagement, duplicated at considerable expense. The Brooklyn Mark-Strand Theatre, we understand, is doing much the same. If you were to walk into the Rivoli Theatre in New York this week you would hear Riesenfeld's musical setting of "Silence," and last week the Warner theatre employed his "Prince of Piisen" score. In view of the fondness these houses have for presenting their own individual arrangements of everything, this means no small tribute to the musical genius and showmanship of Riesenfeld. He will return to New York on September 3, in time to conduct the Labor Day concert in Central Park.
R-OUR GANG" ABROAD OBERT McGOWAN, director of Hal Roach's "Our Gang" comedies for Pathe, is preparing this week for an extended trip to England, where he will film scenes for a vehicle entitled "London Bridge." Jimmy Finlayson will play the role of a school teacher, the fun being based on a sight-seeing tour. Several members of the "gang" will accompany McGowan to England for necessary exteriors. Meanwhile, the Roach studios will cease production from July 3 to August 2, as is the annual custom.
