 Bret said it was pretty enough, but he hoped the road would re- main passable.
 "You mean we might not be able to get through tonight?"
 That's it exactly" They were just creeping along now, so slip pery and steep was the road. It was impossible to see more than a foot or two ahead. T shouldn't have risked it with you,' his tone was contrite.
 But I love it!' Connie assured him. There was something dan- gerous and primitive about this storm here in this wild country that appealed to her. She had known so little of that sort of ex- perience in her hothouse existence Please don't turn back. I'm not the least bit afraid" She knew, as she said it, that she would never be afraid to face any thing with him

SCARCELY larger than an. l8- ~ hole golf course, Vatican City in Rome exists, nevertheless, very much like a great nation.
 It has its own ministers, it's sec retary of state, foreign office, it's ceremonial army. It receives am- bassadors from the nations of the world and sends nuncios in re- turn. It issues passports and rec: ogniZeS visaS.
 Within the city itself is the great church of St. Peters, the vast grounds of the papacy and the homes and shops of the Vatican employees, numbering several hun- dred. Here too is one of the most powerful radio stations in the world, built in 1881. Over it Christmas services will be broad- cast this year. Vatican City is the most heavily telephoned state in the world. 30 lines connecting it with five continents. The Vatican, in all things, is self-sufficient.

"True Confession"
Back at Met.

TRUE CONFESSION starring
Carole Lombard and Fred Mac
Murray and written in the delightfully."-
dizzy fashion of Claude Binyon, re-
sumed its downtown run at the Metro
polltan yesterday. 1t deserves a spot
high on the list of should-see films
for those who think Hollywood's cur
rent comedy cycle is one of the major
justifications for not ending it all.
True Confession" presents Miss
Lombard as luscious, uncomfortable
liar whose career finds its climax in
the confession Of a murder which she
did not corlmit, an insane improvisa-
ton for which she has to develop
others still more insane before she
can attain the riches which 20 with
sensational living. 1t is typical Lom-
bard material and Miss Lombard is the
girl who knows what to do with stuff
like that.
A positively brilliant character per-
formance by John Barrymore adds
vastly to the aggregate merriment of
True Confession" A zany criminolo-
gist is Mr.. Barrymore and it is his
work in the picture to haunt the
vicinity of Miss Lombard muttering
frighteningly' She'll fry" It is a
caricature of the Barrymore talent, a
caricature that is close enough to a
masterpiece to satisfy the most severe
of Barrymore critics.
TRUE Confession" also makes ex-
cellent use OF the talents of Mr.. Mac
Murray, Una Merkel and several other
people Paramount hired to do Binyon
justice. ! r

Nv ALICE EVERSMAN.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.
TIME second concert by the Roth
Quartet at the Library Of Con-
gress under the Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge Foundation
last evening continued the series Of
fugues which Bach wrote under the
title Of "The Art of the Fugue." Ar
ranged for string quartet by Roy Har-
ris and NJ D. Herter Norton, IA OF the
fugues are being given in this series
of three concerts. Last evenings pro-
gram featured also the Quartet No.
L." by Walter Piston. and Mozart's
Quartet No. IT, in B Flat, X. v. 49,"
Five sections of THE Art of the
Fugue" were given last night. The
arrangers have exercised great ingenu-
ity in the distribution Of the main
voices among the four instruments
whose tonal color proved more de-
scriptive medium than that of the
piano. The artists of the Roth group
have given serious thought to the
analysis of this great work and have
brought to bear their scholarly back
ground to a vivid presentation Of 1t
in quartet form. Their uniform tone
and excellent ensemble were again
manifest while their grasp Of the
classic character was polished of with
the warmth of their sympathetic un-
derstanding.
Preceding the Bach number was the
quartet by the American composer,
Dicto Th{c UnrR OiVAn 1tQ
premiere by the Roth Quartet about
four years ago and has been a part Of
its repertoire ever since. Mr.. Piston
ranks among the foremost composers
of this country and his short first
quartet is an admirable example OF
his style Serious, solid and indlvid-
ual in its construction throughout, the
composer has written the first and
third movements in more abstract
moods, allowing himself a single poetic
flight in the adagio. Framed within
the square lines Of the opening and
closing movements it stands out as
lovely picture in pastel tones. Some
thing in the character Of Debussy, 1t
is ethereal and exquisitely delicate In
texture. its mood indicated in the
softly intoned voices Of the inStru-
ments and the fragile quality OF its
structure.
The concluding number was Mo-
Zart's beautiful hunting" quartet the
fourth of the little group which he
had promised Haydn. The artistry of
the Roth ensemble reached its height
in this famous work. the fresh and
free sweep Of MoZart's inspiration be-
ing superbly elucidated by the pol
ished playing of the group.
The final concert of this short series
will be given this afternoon at 4
o'clock when The Art of the Fugue'
will be concluded A new quintet
for string quartet and piano by Roy
Harris will be played, with the COM
posers wife, Johana Harris, at the
piano.

point out that an actor can sometimes
actually be help to movie story.
Nat Pendleton is just that with his
brilliantly dumb characterization of a
lug named Joe Skopapoulous in this
picture. He plays the role of this poor
dumbfounded, thick-skulled palooka
with such skill, such sense of its
comic and human values, that he is
able to put credible face on a rather
outlandish yarn. The theme song of
the piece is the great love of a crimp-
cared wrestler for hill-billy lady
blacksmith. Beginning with that send
of it would have been easy enough to
stretch the improbable to the fine point
OF boredom. Instead Messrs Enright
and Pendleton have held it down to a
loud belly laugh which doubtless was
the general idea.
