Keeping aloof from the ado

ground. 1t is not definitely settled
that the National Capital shall be
the premiere scene. However, Mr..
Capra has it in the front of his mind
and the logic of it all is so deadly, it
is easy to come to conclusion for
him.
The picture, concerned so inti-
mately with Washingtons major in
dustry, is one which the studio feels
would draw previeW audience of
terrific importance. In fact, to quote
its own words: The distinguished
first night assemblage would include
high officers of the Government in
cluding cabinet members, foreign
diplomats and possibly the executive
family. 1t would be the most dis
tinguished audience ever to attend
q picture premiere"
In spite of those prospects, the
program is sufficiently nebulous that
Earle Theater executives, who will
play host to the Capra picture early
in September, have not heard Off
cially of it. They are ready, how
ever, for the most colossal premiere
ever held in case it materializes.
From out Chevy Chase way. where
this department broods up some of
the things that creep into this space
comes an explosive echo of Monday S
column. Without word of ampli-
flcation, which it does not need, the
letter from v. H. Kennedy follows:
Dear Mr.. Carmody:
do hope you sent a copy of
the attached column to the inter-
ested parties in Hollywood, but if
you didn't I shall-and I hope
lots of others of your faithful
and interested readers will, too.
These "diehards" like Norma
Shearer certainly disgust the
movie-goers with their inability
to let go-especially of the de-
sirable parts-and give the public
opportunity to see some of the
newer, more youthful and tai
ented players.
I don't exactly have an an
tipathy for Miss Shearer as you
put 1t, but any one who saw her
founder through Idiots Delight"
is convinced that only an idiot
could delight in such a perform
,ance.
BY all means, please use your
influence in Miss Garson's behalf
for the Susan and God" char
acterization Her performance
in Goodbye Mr.. Chips" is tops

be shunted aside by those with

refreshing new face to the screen,

Permission To Sing In School

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Cen

been again made unavailable to
Marian Anderson by an action of the
Board Of Edncation's superintendent,
Frank w. Ballou, who withdrew use
of the hall because the local sponsors
of the proposed concert, Howard
University, refused to agree that
they could not in the future ask for
the hall for a concert by the Negro
singer.
Letters between the disputants
were revealed Monday by S. Hurok,
manager of the singer, showing that

use Of the building to remove
the question from public discussion,
but only under positive and definite
assurance and agreement that the
concession will not be taken as q
precedent and that the Board OF
Education will not in the future
again be asked to depart from tile
principle Of dual system of schools
and school facilities =
The reply of Howard University's
concert chairman, Charles G. Cohen,
to the above stipulations contained
the following statement:
Howard University cannot be ex-
pected to agree that it will never
again ask public officials of the Dis
trict of Columbia for the use OF q
public building for an educational
and cultural community effort. The
right Of petition for redress of
grievances is the basis Of American
democracy, and no institution should
be compelled to relinquish that right
in order merely to use a public build
ing for one occasion"
Frank w. Ballou, superintendent
Of schools, was granted administra-
tive powers by the Board of Educa-
tion on March 18th to deal with the
situation, and in reversing the
Boards decision declared that .she
had no authority to issue permit
except on the basis Of the conditions
set up BY the Board.

A comparatively quiet week on the

often are beasts cannot stop the
news-reel boys. They just focus
their cameras on sports, where men
are men. and the result is still dra-
matte for all the difference in es-
sentials. All of which, in case it
needs explanation, is a devious way
of coming to the point that sports
are the most interesting item on
this weeks Trans-Lux program.

there are complete shots of the
famous Princeton mile, almost COM
plete ones Of the national collegiate
meet at Los Angeles, and both of
