Besides its charitable intent, the
concert was the first occasion IN
some time when the celebrated vio-
linist was heard in full recital pro-
gram. 1t brought back the days
when he reigned supreme in his
special field and delighted his ardent
admirers with his virtuosity and
artistry. Last evening, he showed
all his former brilliancy with the
addition of the refinement in style
and gain in depth which the years
have brought to HIM. In a well
chosen program he reaped an ova-
ton that held the unmistakanle
llote of genuine enthusiasm.
Mr.. Elman has a style of playing
all his own which has a quality OF
humanness in it that is refreshing.
His vitality permeates everything he
does, enriching his tone, which is by
nature large and resonant, and

only Angels Have Wings"
That is the final title selected
by Columbia for the spectacular
Howard Hawks production formerly
known as plane No. ~ which CO.
stars Cary Grant and Jean Arthur.
Director Hawks expects to COM
plete the picture within the next
few weeks, following more than two
months of actual filming of scenes
in and around the picturesque back
ground of a South American sea
and aviation port.
With cameras perched perilously
atop towering mountain peak, the
director is currently shooting thrill
ing sequences of the fog bound area
in the Andes through which a group
of daredevil flyers must pass in order
to clear the mountain range.
1t is the story of these flyers,
carrying freight and human cargo
to remote sections of the South
American interior, that forms the
background for the stirring romance
which Director Hawks considers his
greatest dramatic film achievement.
Additional air thrills are now
being planned in which Grant,
Richard Barthelmess. Thomas
Mitchell, John Carroll. Allyn Joslyn,
Don Barry and others will take part.

his playing with absorption only
taking time occasionally to remark
the flneness of his phrasing and his
technical skill.
He began his program with two
sonatas. Handel's. in D major. and
the beloved "Kreutzer Sonata" of
Beethoven. The Handel was pure
in style, yet fresh in spirit, while the
Kreutzer held many personal
touches that gave it vivid character.
The Kreutzer, however, is a work of
which every one has his own idea
and there have been performances
of it here that stressed the spir-
ituality of it more. particularly in
the andante con variazioni. Mr..
Elman's playing of it was colored by
his own temperamental feeling and
as such was eminently satisfying.

The reason for those new rumors
of trouble with Gone With the
Wind" can be traced to that state
ment of Vivien Leigh's that she
expected to be replaced by Norma
Shearer. Vivien was probably JoE-

strange thing to say. Vivien Is
very frank young lady. She SAYS
what she thinks without feal OF
the consequences. One of her cur

gether the smart set and the sar-
donic ship news reporter. Both
might have been made to look rather
empty headed, but no one appar-
emily remembered that such might
be the case. Instead, the whole
thing was allowed to turn unnat-
ural. Just a bit too clever to seem
human and unstudied.
An exception to that unfortunate
rule is the interval in which the
jealous bride lays her travail on the
shoulders of her favorite bartender.
To her question as to why the drink
mixers seem to have more under

males, he answers that they prob
ably have better opportunity than
any others to observe women with

clutches of ship news reporter, a
sort of oft-told tale of the tanning
of the shrew. 1t is artful and clever
and. worth being patronized on that
basis. which is as far as Paramount
meant to go. perhaps, in spite of
the feeling some may have that 1t
might have gone farther.
The title of the screen play written
by Virginia Van Upp implies that
the world is about to look upon an
expose of the group which does not
begin to live until midnight. 1t
does not materlalize. Instead, the
audience is treated to a narrative
of the chi-chi set which indicates
that its heart really is i'll the right
place no matter how hard it may Try
to talk as if it had no heart at all.
Bright. indeed, the dialogue pro-
vides lots of mirth as the picture un-
folds. There are no end OF acldu-
lous speeches to be made by both OF
the principals. They make them
with exactly the right infections in
every instance. The wonder is that
the Hays Office did not step in from
time to time to point out that ladies
and gentlemen do not say such
things to each other, even though
from the points Of view Of the major
characters the things said are en-
tirely in order.
One of the features of Cafe So
ciety." which incidentally shows
Lucius Beebe in but one fleetinS Sc
quence. is that it gives a reasonably
admirable portrait of newspaper
man. The gentleman in question
is played by Mr.. MacMurray; we'll
played by Mr.. MacMurTay. In spite
of the fact that he is a sort OF
double distilled dope in his relations
with his wife Miss CARROLL, in his
other manifestations, he obviously
is acquainted with the decencies of
life. His dreams are simple, his
yearnings those of any normal hu-
man being, and his conversation
quite brittle enough to imply that
the boys who write for the papers
are able to talk rather we'll in their
off-duty hours. That is great deal
more in the pictures favor than
it sounds in cold type.
The story told in Cafe Society
is that of a night-out deb who
marries ship news reporter in
order to get her name in the column
of society chit-chat writer To
her 1t is a gag; to him it is one
of those very serious marriages that
implies settling down and all that
goes with that process. The con-
f1ict is provided by the presence in
his life of night club singer (Shir-
ley Ross, in hers of the society
Columnist (Allyn Joslyn. The bat
ting over the two outsiders provides
the more brilliant interludes in the
picture, two of which are wild ride
on a surf board by the bride and
true confession session which she
holds with bartender in her favor
ite night club. Both are accom-
plished with more than average
skill by Miss Carroll. who probably
always will be one of the most i'm
pressive looking blonds in pictures.

tunity to be memorable satire in

TRAILER TRUCK RUNS
AWAY ON BIG SAVAGE
Vehicle, Hauling 4 Sedans, Halt
ed On Eckhart Flat

A trailer truck, hauling four sedans,
ran away on Big Savage Mountain,
east of Grantsville, last Thursday
night, travelled through Frostburg and
was brought to a stop on Eckhart
fiat, east of that town, without dam
age to the truck or injury to the
driver.
Burton Baldwin, Lansing, Mich, the
driver making his first trip to Cum
berland with cars, reported his clutch
broke halfway down the mountain
and his brakes also gave way. The
truck roared down Big Savage at a
high rate of speed, through a red light
at Water street in Frostburg, then
slowed down enough on the flat to
allow Baldwin to ditch the truck near
the Gunter service station.
Baldwin declared he does not know
how he managed to get through traf-
fic which was fairly heavy at 9 o'clock
that evening. One of the hazards en-
countered was an automobile in the
middle of Main street at FroStburg
which was stalled due to a lack of gas
oline. He said he passed the red light
going at least so miles an hour.

List Of Schools On Attendance
Honor Roll For February
Announced

Twenty-slx one-teacher schools, five
two-teacher schools and five graded
schools, along with four high schools
in Garrett county, were on the attend
ance honor roll for February, accord
ing to bulletin issued from the office
of F. E. Rathbun, County Superinten-
dent, by John L. Fitzwater, attendance
officer.
The schools named in the bulletin
were all above the county average, but
few Of them under the county at
tendance standards.
Steyer school led the one-teacher
schools with 80 per cent, with Shook
Shop second and Selbysport third.
Mountain Lake Park led the two
teacher schools with 97.6, and Swan
ton second with 96.5; Red House third
with 95.4.
Crellin was in the lead among the
graded schools, with Loeb Lynn see
ond and Oakland, third Crellin had
96.3 per cent.

$4,000. The additional $4,000 was
made available through a bill which
was passed several sessions ago. With
a law providing for the payment of
interest and another providing more
money, or the power to borrow more,
the County Commissioners should
find that their credit is good even in
Garrett county. They should eX-

gent obligations, such as the recent
relief crisis.

would require the levying of specified
sums for the construction of school
houses at North Glade and McHenry.
Upon the request of DR.. Flack, head of
the State Department of Legislative
Reference, Senator Friend has intro
duced a bill which will repeal the char
ter of the town of Bloomington. 1t
is DR.. Flack's contention that the town
has not functioned as an incorporated
town and should therefore be denied a
charter.
The new tax bill which is getting to
be as much of an eternal item of dis
cussion as the much debated conserva-
ton question, is in committee again.
It is there this time for certain revis-
ions which were suggested by the At
torney Generals office. Perhaps we
shall be able to report action of def
mite nature by next week.
With the entire revenue setup yet
to be worked out we understand that
certain Allegany county delegates are
favoring a consumers sales tax and
are gathering supporters in its be-
half. 1t is our honest opinion that this
form of taxation is far superior to any
other yet devised in this day and age
and we would certainly prefer sales
tax over the proposed reregistration
of all operators of motor vehicles or
the relicensing of pinball machines.
