showing a New York picture with
the suhtitles rewritten for English
audiences.
The other day | saw an American
film in which one of the characters
was made to say in rough mouse
scene, Ere you. 'op it.-which is
tantamount to making an English
man in similar circumstances say.
'G'wan, you big stiff. beat it"
"Of course. there is justihaole
comeback TO all this-that we do not
want the British language heavily
inoculated with Americanisms. and
to a large extent this is true. A film
of Rob Roy or some historical
pageant of British history made and
produced by Americans warrants
every time a very thorough AngliZa-
ton of the subtitles. In cases like
this American titles are naturally all
wrong and do more to ruin the film
than Improve it. But where you have
a purely American drama written
around typically American people in
everyday American surroundings it
is foolish and stupid to expect Eng
lish colloquialismS for subtitles."

dent of Societe Internationale des

day of modern music and poetry.
The purpose of the society is to

ed the society little more than a
year ago. His sister. Queen Lado-
witch, also interested in these arts, is
secretary of the organization. Mr..
Ladovitch states that the reason the
French title was chosen was in order
to conjure the international spirit of
the classics and to unite it with the
more western genius.
At present the foreign membership
of the Societe Internationale is re-
stricted to those of foreign birth
who have lived in Washington for
rectly affiliated with the organization.
However, any foreign musician or
poet of genius may have his work
presented publicly by this society in
Washington. in spite of the fact that
he may be personally in Europe,
South America or elsewhere.
Leading members of the Societe Ma
tionale include Rollin Bond, organizer
and director of the Washingtonians,
a local opera company which has
given many light operas effectively
and successfully and this spring pre-
sented Faust" in English as the
latest and most ambitious effort; Mrs
Genevieve Bond. soprano and writer
of the musical setting of Mr.. Lado-
