Stock will have twentieth year as conductor of the Chicago Symphony orchestra. In com- memoration of this event it has been decided to raise a fund, the income of which is to be used in perpetuity for scholarships in music. This fund is to be called "The Frederick A. Stock Scholarship Fund." "It has become strikingly evident that there is an actual need of inspir- ing, as well as assisting potential musi- cians to study and perfect themselves in the playing of the less popular or- chestral instruments, such as the bas- soon, tuba, French and English horns, clarinet, flute, double-bass, etc.," com- ments a Wilmette advocate of the fund. "Performers on these instruments are essential in an orchestra but very diffi- cult to procure. The Chicago Civic or- chestra is developing some, but aug- mented assistance is needed.

She appears in "Are Parents People?" the Paramount production. This is Betty's second pic- ture and she again proves that she has remarkable talent. She plays the role of a daughter whose parents quarrel over trivial things. The home is finally wrecked by these quarrels. The daughter goes to boarding school. "Inside stuff" on girls' exclusive board- ing school life adds an interesting touch. A lot of drama and much subtle comedy fills this picture. Adolphe Menjou plays the father and Florence Vidor the mother.
