Rockefeller City Music Hall
Throws Doors Open to
Galaxy of Notables
Critics Praise Building
NEW YORK, Dec. 29. (P) The
superlatives market hit a new high
today aa Rockefeller Clty'a music hall
threw its doors open to the general
public after a "first night" that last
ed Into the early morning.
On the world's largest stage in the
largest temple of amusement of Ha
kind, the most magnificent opening
night audiences assembled In ft long
time saw 500 entertainers perform.
Notables Present.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr.. Alfred E.
Smith, Miss Anne Morgan, Will H.
Hays and hundreds of others whose
names read like "Who's Who," came
to see the spectacle that S. X. Itotha
fel (Roxy) offered.
There were many comments on the
Korgeousness and spectacular beauty
of the music hall itself. This was
noted too by all critics, but there was
only lukewarm enthusiasm in some
criticisms of the performance.
The Boxy ushers (whose garb had
been & close secret) paraded to the
stage to make their debut clad In
quiet uniforms of black with sliver
buttons and -white piping. Roxy,
long a devotee of the spectacular,
used to dress his ushers in clothes
rivaling an admiral's.
Seats 0,200.
The great auditorium with its seven
ourved celling arches telescoping into
one another to give a feeling of Inti
macy to the audience of 6,200, nfld 1
marvels of lighting brought endless
exclamations.
Tomorrow night a motion picture
theater, another unit in the $250,
000,000 Rockefeller center, opens.
Last night's performance, heralded
by bugles, was late in starting. Be
ginning at 9, It continued until after
midnight, a procession of spectacle
a negro choir of 110 voices, ballets,
stage pictures and the comedy relief
Of prominent stage stars, the list in
cluding DeWolf Hopper, Weber and
Fields, Ray Bolger, Dr. Rockwell, "Sis
tens of the Skillet," and others. There
was an orchestra of 100.
Equipment Intricate.
Even the mechanical equipment of
ie new music temple was called up
on to show off, the first number of
the bill being called the "Symphony
of the Curtains," Introducing the
special curtain which requires 13 mo
tions to operate and which opens in a
variety of forms.
Percy Hammond, critic of the Her-nld-Trlbune,
wrote: "The show Is ex
travagant and cumbersome, but it
has occasional moments of beauty and
alacrity."
Gilbert W- Gabriel, the American:
"Some of the monster festival goes
slow and dull on you. . , , The huge,
Incredible house itself Is really the
hero of this first presentation."
J. Brooks Atkinson, the Times: "Al
though the opening bill is dull, It is
likely that Roxy will develop an r
nat type of music hall diversion bet
ter suited to his tremendous palace."
EASTERNELEVEN
BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 29. (AP)
An epidemic of injuries has reduced
the east team from the favorod spot
to even terms with the west eleven
for their Shrine charity contest here
next Monday.
Chief among eastern casualties was
Harry Newman, brilliant Michigan
quarterback, who watched practice
trom the sidolines yeatorday and said
a weakened ankle would keep him on
the bench during today's scrimmage
with an eleven headed by Ernie Ne
ver, former Stanford fullback.
Bruised shoulders bothered Gil Ber
ry, Illinois halfback; Roy Horstman,
Purdue fullback, and Joe HIU, Col
gate guard.
The westerners, confident and un
scathed by Injuries, face a hard scrim
mage today at Berkeley. The boya
from the other side of the Mississippi
do their practicing in the Stnnford
stadium at Palo Alto.

basis of man-power energy expended
Ir. machine production leaves the
practical man cold. That would de
stroy all values except consumption
and production. Communism is re
actionary compared to that.
What officials are afraid of la that
the public will not understand that
phase of the matter. Advocates of
the plan are apparently purposely
vague In offering details as to their
intentions.
Some writers on the subject are
trying to popularize it with mislead
ing slogans. Two are: "Everyone will
make 520,000 a year under Technoe
racy" or "It means a 1929 income
and the 414-day week." That la
hooey. What they do not say Is that
It could mean the destruction oi
wealth, debts, stocks, bonds and prac
Jcally all privately owned property,
The creation of a super-state that
cannot be or Is not being adequately
explained Is Implied.
Something may be said on this
angle on the floor of the senate.
Certain congressional authorities
have recently gone to Roosevelt on
the proposed special session of con
gress after March 4.
Their purpose was to get him to
hold off on the session until mld
Aprll. They wanted htm to get his
feet on the ground before getting
tangled up with congress. Some
thought he ought to let the session
go tintll May 15. Roosevelt took the
matter, under advisement.
The Wagner program for reorga
nizing the R. F. C. will probably m
held back like everything else until
Roosevelt comes in.
Few object to the program. The
proposition of charging 5 to 7 per
cent for relief loans when the gov
ernment Is getting the money for
one-half of one per cent Is In for a
hot attack. The government will be
accused of making usury money on
that deal.
The supreme court decision against
entrapment of prohibition violators
showed that the court reads the elec
tions returns and the newspapers.
Court followers think the decision
augurs well for 3.2 per cent beer
when it comes before the court. The
decision seemed to mark a change In
court opinion since the days when
wire-tapping was sanctioned.

OAKLAND, Dec. 29. (P) The Uni
versity of Oregon basketball team's
barnstorming tour was ended today
by a 19 to 15 victory over St. Mary's
college here last night.
Strong defensive play by both teams
accounted for the low score, the Ore
gon guards forcing the Gaels to take
most of their shots from far out on
the floor. The northerners led at
half time, 8 to 7.
Captain Robertson of the Webfeet,
played center, scored three goals and
a free throw to make seven points
for individual scoring honors.

P:il won the first fall in 19 min

Kazanjlan took the second fall In
three minutes with a hammer-throw.
In the final period, Reilly, who never
played football, tried the flying
tackle. On the fourth attempt, Ka
zanjlan fell flat on the mat, allowing
the Bostonlan to sail through the
ropes and land head first on the bare
floor. Reilly was barely able to re
turn to the ring and Kftzanjian tossed
him for the final fall with another
hammer throw.
Bulldog Mallory scored a one-fall

SAYS PROFESSOR
PALO ALTO. Cal Dec. 29.-p
Technocracy, the body of scientists
studying economic conditions from
the standpoint of energy and produc
tion In the light of the machine age,
came in for some criticism as did
present business leadership here to
day, at the annual Pacific Coast eco
nomlo conference.
The conference, composed of econ
omists of western universities, heard
Prof. Reld L. McClung of the Uni
versity of California, describe tech
nocracy as a -pseudo science "that
lures us on to a type of fantastical
society, a modern Ulopla where alt
will live In a fiction cf elegance and
ease."
Distrust in business leadership was
expressed In addresses by Prof. E. J.
Brown of the University of Arizona
and Prof. Arthur Coons of Occidental
college.
Prof. Shirley J. Coon of the Uni
versity of Washington, president of
the conference, in his address said
the role of economist In a distressed
era was "to diagnose social problems
and possibly to devise remedies for
existing defects."
Sams Valley Quint
Defeats Methodists
Sams Valley defeated the South
Method 1st basketball team of this city
last night on their own floor, 27 to
17, before a large crowd. The game
was rough, and furnished plenty of
excitement. The South Methodists
were outclassed by the country
shooters, who are one of the strong
contenders in the rural basketball
league.
