VETS CONFUSE
APPLICATIONS
FOR BONUS.
by THE BONUS EDITOR


Many veterans, in attempting to
apply for their "baby bonds" make
the procedure much too compn-
Gated for their own good.
An instance is cited in q warn
ing which came today from the
Navy Department to veterans who
have written to Washington ask
ing for duplicate discharge GER
tificates."
Making this request, says the
Navy Department, is absolutely un-
necessary and delays the veterans
receipt Of his baby bonds"
What Is Needed
The only information needed on
the "baby bond" application, the
Navy Department continues, is the
application or "a" number, the
dates of enlistment and discharge,
the rank and service at the time
Of diScharge-and then only on
the wartime enlistment.
Duplicate discharge papers"
are not needed with the "baby
bond" application. If veteran
desires the information on a
Lost discharge paper for the pur-
pose of filling out his appl1ca-
tiOn, he should write to the
Washington headquarters Of the
service with which he was con-
nected for . statement Of serV.
ice."
This statement, easily prepared
in Washington, will save much
time and trouble here and hence
assure greater promptneSS in the
receipt Of "baby bonds"
Follow Instructions
In applying for the bonds, a vet
eran should follow the instruc-
tions printed on the application
a. far as it is possible. But it is
unwise to think up" unnecessary
things, like writing Washington
for . duplicate discharge"

an unintentional error appeared in
Q previous issue of this column, in
which it was stated that the bonds
win bear compound interest until
they mature in 1945. The interest
: Is straight, not compound, at 3 per
cent year.
Veterans or anyone else desiring
information on the bonus can Sc
cure q written reply to their ques-
tionS by writing the Bonus Editor,
in care Of The Washington Times,
enclosing q stamped, self-addreSsed

is dickering for the services of Merle
Oberon to take over the role left va
cant by Miss Dietrich. Merle has in
timated her willingness to accept the
part, before or after she stars in Dark
victory" but the decision rests with
Alexander Korda, to whom she Is
under contract and who at present is
turning an indifferent ear toward the
troubles besetting the Paramount
studio. Pending news from England,
the studio executives are trying to
make deal with Warner Bros. to line
up Bette Davis as second string for
the role relinquished by Miss Dietrich.
The way things always happen.
After training every day for several
months to make his screen debut.
Frank Shields, handsome ranking
tennis player, was finally considered
experienced enough to undertake an
important part in Hurricane" the
South Sea island story to be made en-
tirely in color, authored by Charles
Nordhoff and James Norman Hall Of
"Mutiny on the Bounty" prestige, and
now being adapted for the screen by
w. p. Lipscomb. Before Frank had a
chance to get excited over his excep-
tionally lucky break" however, he re-
ceived a letter from the Davis Cup
Committee asking whether he would be
available to play in the Davis Cup
matches this year. There is nothing
Shields would like better, were it not
for the fact that acceptance of the
offer viii mean the beginning of long
siege of tennis training and the end of
the film career on which his heart and
hopes are set.
II have already sacrificed my in
surance business for the privilege of
representing this country in Champion
ship tennis" Shields said. If I accept
this offer, it will mean a suspension of
my contract with Mr. Goldwyn, and
while I'm patriotic and would like to
do everything can for my country,
I feel it is time consider the future
from the standpoint Of financial
security"
In view of this statement, it is
practically certain that Shields will
be member Of the Hurricane" cast,

islands in July or August

WORKS OF IBSEN TOPIC
OF SIBELLA SKIDELSKY
Lecture Is First of Series of Six
Before Washington Col
lege of Music.


CIBELLA SKIDELSKY last night
delivered the first of series Of
six lectures on Main Currents of the
Modern Drama" at the Washington
College of Music, devoting her atten-
ton to discussion Of the works Of
Ibsen.
Miss Skidelsky began her survey Of
the theater's development from 1850
to our day; at that particular period
because, she said, 1t was then that
naturalness and humanness entered
the drama. She choose Ibsen as her
first subject of discussion because he
was the leader in this Renaissance
of the stage and becaus his works are
outstanding examples of the thesis
that the theater takes life, transforms
it to art and then interprets its art
in terms OF life.
Ibsen was not the pessimist some
critics have maintained. Miss Skidel-
sky said, but rather leaned toward
tragic, and through tragedy gained
dramatic force. Miss Skidelsky dis
cussed at length Ibsen's Brand" the
first of his great plays. Brand" she
said. is as perfect as any play could
be in its dramatic construction.
Miss Skidelsky also discussed. though
in less detail, other Ibsen works
"Peer Gynt," "Ghosts." THE Dolls
House." "Hedda Gabler." "Rosmer-
sholm" and The Master Builder
pointing out in each how he combined
realism and symbolism and how he
transformed life to art and art to
life. H. M.

THIS was possibly due to the fact

was written with greater insight, it
would be one of those things which,

this-probably because as the lady to
