though of course, he never saw Jean, he was
intensely interested in my romance; having,
as thought at the time, none of his own. But
one day at lunch - he always had the mid
day meal brought to the Office - he leaned
across the desk and with strange longing in
his eyes, he asked, Do you think it possible,
Redheld for woman to love man soul -

II was startled, but managed to answer,
Why, certainly, Colonel After all, the body
- and l made deprecatory gesture.
All, my boy. he said bitterly. Don't let
them tell you the body isn't important But
sometimes - yes, once in lifetime perhaps,
it can be laid aside
And then it was he told me that one
evening very late he would never walk
abroad until the dark - he was lettering
along quiet street when womans voice,
golden and liquid as the moon-rays which fell
slanting on the roof came to him out of the
night. He did not know the name of the song,
but the mellow tones of the singer seemed to
call to him in the moonlit street. He took down
the number of the house and the next day
learned that an elderly couple lived there with
an only daughter. No one seemed to know
anything about them, for they lived, appar
emily life of complete isolation.
Then he did an extraordinary thing. He
wrote to the girl. He didn't tell me what was
in the note, but knowing him. it was probably
courteous in the extreme, and must have been
appealing as well. Anyway, the girl, whose
name was Margo, answered it; after that. she
sang for him every evening - sending her
glorious. throbbing love-tones out into the
night that his starved soul might take them
for its own.

Mime. Won Unschuld in Novel Re-
cital at Pierce Hall Last
Evening.

Nine. Marie Won Unschuld gave q
short and interesting recital last
evening in Pierce Hall when she de-
monstrated the. educational possibili-
ties in playing concertos with orches-
tral recordings. Nine Won Unschuld,
whose work as pianist is we'll known
in Washington, has given similar
demonstrations here. proving the
value of such work for the student
in preparation for playing with the
orchestra. Last evening she chose
two movements of Beethoven's Con
certo in G Ma jor," in which her play
ing had the volume expected from the
orchestra, the recording being in
sufficient in volume for her piano work.
Nine. Won UnSChuld has been noted
for her tremendous volume of tone,
and it was not lacking last evening.
For her second appearance she played
two Schubert songs. The Wanderer"
and The Erlking," arranged for
piano by LisZt: the eXquisitely delicate
ITO a Water Lily" from MacDowells
Woodland Sketches" and Paganinis
La Campanella," arranged for piano
by List. In the more dramatic
numbers Nine. Won Unschuld was
frequently too free in her use of the
sustaining pedal, which marred her
otherwise clear scales and cadenzas.
The Mcdowell composition was
beautifully done and quite the gem
of the program. LISTS fantasy on
Hungarian folk songs closed the pro-
gram. Nine. Won Unschuld being ac-

Mr.. Cohen says he isn't sure of any
definite plans for the future and
thinks he will take q much needed
rest. He has no intention. he adds, Of
pirating stars from any studio. And
this, by the way, is supposed to have
been settled long ago in Hollywood by
a "gentleman's agreement" among
producers.
General opinion about town Is that
Cohen will eventually form company
Of his own. But a check-up on the
present contracts of the three players
mentioned shows that he won't be
able to start any business ventures
with them for some time.
Bing Crosby's contract calls for him
to make three more pictures for Para
mount, to be done in two years time
Mae Vests contract runs for two
years more, and Gary Cooper has a
year and half TO go on his present
arrangement with his studio.
So this should definitely settle any
arguments regarding the fact that
Cohen is planning to take these play
ers with him in the near future.
That excellent actor, Franchot Tone,
will be cast as the lead in Lennox
Robinson's play, THE Far Of Hills, 70
which will be the first Irish character
he has ever portrayed. And this despite
the fact that Tone Is descended from

One of the most interesting film de-
butts to be made this season will be
that Of the Vienna Choir boys, known
as the wiener Saengerknaben," who
will have part in The Big Broadcast
Of 1885,"
These boys include a group of the
finest singers in Europe, under the di-
rection of Prof Gruber. This musical
ensemble has had one of the longest
and most distinguished careers in Eu-
rope, and but recently scored in a con-
cert at Washington, D. c.
Established originally under the i'm
perial decree of Emperor Maximil-
liam I, in 1893. its object throughout
the ages has been to give musical ed
ucation to boys with more than the
ordinary musical ability. Such old
masters as Mozart. Haydn, Schubert
and Beethoven received much of their
training as members of this group,
which is recruited from the working
classes of Vienna.

JOHNSON AN ENIGMA

Gen. Hugh Johnson, who had much to do with MT. Roosevelt's strategy in 1932, who later made MIRA fla nous, is becoming more and more of an enigma to his erstwhile col- leagues in Washington.
 In speeches and magazine articles the General now reaffairms his loy- alty to the New Deal,' praises the President highly, and then proceeds to lambast governmental policy in several important directions.
 Questioned by Democratic leaders about this behavior, Johnson has re- piled that he merely is trying to change the trend of an Administra- ton he dearly loves and warmly sup ports.
 Yet the point of it all remains obscure to the Roosevelt generals; for MT. Roosevelt is so firmly com mitted to such policies as the AAA program, large relief expenditures and currency readjustment tto all of which Johnson takes 'axception) that it is hard to find anyone who sees the slightest possibility that he will pronounce it all mistake, and turn in the other direction.

ICNCCN. Nov. l3.-The spnl-ed British election campaign ended to- day with many disorders being re- ported.
 Cb.ervers predict victory for the present government when the voters go to the polls tomorrow and decide on the popularity of the Govern ment's domestic and international policies.

 Stanley Baldwin's leadership has re rsiuvenated Britains National Gov ernment and has on i'd era ly ersngthened the hopes of its sup porbars for a victory tomorrow on its policies.
 Baldwin, happy and exceptionally active as Prime Minister for the third time, thinks his government will win hands down in the general election
 Labor Party Stand
 The Labor Party hopes for victory and promises Britain. if it wins, sweeping New Deal that will put the plans of the present government and the.< proposals of David Lloyd George in the shade, party spokes- man said.
 He added that party leaders feel that la5or's stock has been booming and that of the government declin- ing.
 Liberal Groups
 The three Liberal groups in Par liament have ended bitter fight and the rifts in the Party apparent ly are as wide as ever.
 David Lloyd George, wartime Premier and now a raoid new-dealer, is largely responsible fer the rebirth of the war within the party for he is out once more to capture party leadership. Sir John Simon and Sir Herbert Samuel, chiefs of the main Liberal groups in Commons, are maneuver- ing both against each other and against Lloyd George.
