The British stars greatest worry of
the moment Is for what Washingto-

emerged from Union Station. She
claims the Capitol is the only building
they ever see pictures of in England
and that she is not the only person

the White House are the same edifice.

Finding Miss Neagle is not difficult
task at this party. You see all of Mr..
Meakin's feminine guests seated about,
contenting themselves with their
ginger ale. You see in one corner
veritable army of males. You work
your way through this army and there
in the center you find Miss Neagle.
When you come upon Miss Neagle
and her producer, Herbert Wilcox,
in the parade of Hollywood
folk who pass through the realm of
drama department. it is refreshing
experience. Miss Neagle and Mr.. Will
cox do not seem to be at all excited
about Hollywood and are not planning
to set up shop there. 1t isn't that
they have anything in particular
against the town, but they just ap-
parently don't seem to feel there's
any real reason why it should be the
center of things cinematic.
Miss Neagle's fear of the movie
capital of these United States is that
she would be typed. In England she
has had dramatic roles and variety
of characterizations in all her films
and she says she'd hate the idea OF
becoming "just another blond" She
need not fear, for she is not Just
another blond, but is blond apart,
and with her personality-a person.
ality which includes not even knowing
what kind of fur it was that draped
her shoulders when every woman in
the room wanted to know-Hollywood
could never type her.
Miss Neagle is happy, though, that
the R-K-O people have signed con-
tracts to release the Wilcox produc-
tions in the United States, so she
can act in England for audiences here.

One thing Mr.. Wilcox has against
the fabulous village on the West Coast
is that its residents have a tendency
toward becoming SNUG and introspec-
tive. Another reason Mr.. Wilcox prob
ably wouldn't like Hollywood, though

he didn't say 1t was one of the
reasons he is sticking to his homeland,
is that he does not like to be maudlin
Says there's no place for it in big
films and he likes his canvases broad.
Hollywood does have its maudlin mo-
ments.
Another thing on which Mr.. Wilcox
and the lass he has made a star agree
is the matter of acting for both the
stage and the screen. They claim it
can't be done: an actor or actress
should stick to one or the other,
because of the vast difference in tech
nique involved.
Once Mr.. Wilcox returned from a
trip to America to find his star playing
Rosalind in "As You Like 1t" in an

Portions OF the Cathedral, which had
been recently opened. provided more
adequate accommodations for the large
crowd which filled every available
space. The lovely setting would surely
have pleased the great composer. for
the uplifting quality Of his music was
matched by the ethereal background
made by the beautiful altar, the up
ward sweep Of the windows and the
high arch Of the ceiling. In the
midst OF this architectural magnifi-
cence, this work which, as the pro-
gram stated, the composer hoped
might win acceptance eventually, not
merely as German, but as a human
requiem" accomplished its destiny.
Preceding the performance, the Rev.
Noble Powell. dean Of the Cathedral,
addressed the audience in the absence
OF Bishop Freeman. Then the chorus
of more than hundred voices, under
the direction Of Louis Potter and ac-
companied on the organ by Robert
Borrow and by a symphony orchestra,
began the noble opening phrases,

that sublime mastery Of grief and
paean Of faith which is
