Brailowsky, Gregor Piatigorsky, Eliz-
abeth Schumann and Serge Lifar.
The subject, which supplements
Grand Illusion" as the theater's
major attraction, has the advantage
over the average picture in which
musically talented persons appear
that it does not try to make them
into the image and likeness of actors.
They are simply persons playing,
first, for q sound track, second for
those who might like to hear sound
track that does not resemble all
other sound tracks.
Climax of the interval represented
by First Film Concert" is that filled
by Brailowsky's playing of Chopin's
"Valse Brilliante." It is something
more thar music in that, as photo
graphically represented, it appeals
to the eye as well as to the ear.
Together with the other excel
lently achieved effects of the film,
1t is a reminder of the irony repre-
sented in DR.. Axel Munthe's For
Those Who Like Good Music"
1t should be seen by all who like
good music, especially students who
are trying to learn good music.

Tardily, or remissly, this depart
ment gets around to reporting on
Moliere's "The Miser," presented
through Tuesday night of this week
by the graduate students of Catholic
University's speech and drama de-
partment.
The attempt-and successful one
OF the group to present the con-
sciously artificial atmosphere of the
18th century may still be witnessed
by those who missed the original
performances. That is because the
play will be presented as the first
OF the schools summer series. In
the meantime, there will be not
merely further editing of Moliere,
but a polishing of the production.
Beauty contest note: Roadside

Dorothy O'Shure, 1920 N street. Her
two appearances before Roadside
