lieved nothing, not even his own
schemes for world dominance
Beyond Miss Robson and Massey,
there are Laurence Olivier and Vivian
Leigh, who provide the "love interest"
of Fire Over England" They are
youth and idealism and love, and they
manage to be rather convincingly
those alluring things in the world
of the cinema.
MR.. KORDA'S latest film, as al
ready has been intimated, is
concerned with the period in which
the dream of empire began to take
form in the English mind. The only
challenge to the naturalization of
that dream was that represented in
the feeling of Philip of Spain that his
was the country which had the right
to dominate the world. The picture
is built upon the conflict between the
two ideals; Philips that the loyalty of
the people is based upon fear, Eliza
beth'S that love is the essence of
patriotism.
In the unfolding of the Korda story
there is some photography of an order
that is associated with the technical
superiority which Hollywood is sup
posed to have over the rest of the pic
ture-making world
Especially noteworthy are the scenes
in which the Spanish armada comes
into conflict with the pitiable force
representing Elizabeth and her king
dom. 1t is a bit of camera legerde-
main and you know it, but even so it
manages to be impressive
In Fire Over England" Mr. Korda
had less to work with, perhaps. than
in some of his other films, but he has
achieved a convincing bit of cinema
which makes one of the most gripping
nterludes in the drama of empire
building thing far more easily re-
membered than in any guise which it
has been presented heretofore.
1t Is a picture to be seen if you be-
lleVe the past has anything to do with
the present.

SPIRIT OF ST. PATRICK

Service Orchestra Received With

Marine Barracks.

AVA al lllC od41 dShS.
st. PATRICK'S spirit prevailed
over the Marine Barracks last
night as Capt. Taylor Branson con-
Quoted his service orchestra through
musical course which received hearty
acclaim from a holiday crowd.
1nitially drawing atmosphere from
a hash of Irish tunes safely titled
Irish Rhapsody by Victor Herbert,
the orchestra went into more con-
slstent thematic arrangement in the
form Of Percy Grainger's widely
favored scoring of Londonderry Air. "
Varying Wistful mood with gayety,
Gardeners shepherd Fennels Dance"
combining of dance tempo with
elaborate modern-styled orchestration,
occupied brief spot.
Capable solo work was executed by
Joshua Tyler, harpist, who offered
another Irish Rhapsody" this one
by Mr.. Pinto. The piece is rich in
roulades (however trite the thence
and Musician Tyler displayed delicate
and precise touch in handling the in
strument. Vibraphone specialties,
forte of Musician Charles Owen, in
several Irish ditties were also received
with gusto.
A more cosmopolitan note sounded
throughout the remainder of the
program. Musical glimpses into
Puccinis operatic effort, La Tosca, u
revealed a succession of none-too-
bright themes which aroused but q
trif1e of enthusiasm. Brahms very
first composition, according to the
opus number, added a robust touch
to the fare. This is j. Hosmer's ar

I've tried many times to persuade
Katharine Cornell to appear in pic
lures, without success" said Lasky.
She feels that she is at the top of
her field in the legitimate theater and
it would be mistake to tempt fate
in another medium. It's pity. as l
think she'd be magnificent on the
screen"
Lasky is actively opposed to the
Dickstein bill placing an embargo on
foreign artists.
Motion pictures, to be successful,
must be able to draw from every ma
tionality, The most glamorous figures
in Hollywood are foreigners. If the
bill is passed it will mean exclusion
of future Carlos, Dietrichs and Boy
ers. And prove death blow TO screen

this is not all, for the thoughtful must

ideas to think over and adjust to their
carefully acquired estimate OF the
purport Of music and to reflect little
If any aversion to jazz and swing

For on Mr.. Whiteman's program
there were musical pictorizations of
the highest order and gripping drama
Of an intensely realistic type, color,

new tonal harmonies of arresting
character. In fact, all the elements

vital force of music, the power to
arouse and hold the feeling and in.

time to go more deeply into this angle
of thought, 1t can be said that the
program, which Mr.. Whiteman him:
self called good entertainment" was
more than that, it was a challenge to
the conservatives to stop, look and
listen" at the croSSroad where music
has halted today.
Full Of Novelty.
The evening was full of novelty, held
to a keen pitch of snappiness by the
genial conductor, Mr.. Whiteman

Of instruments as has not in memory

Two grand pianos occupied the CEN
