C.U.COncert
Series Opens
Auspiciously
Hazel Arth and
William Holden
Present Program

The series of concerts of the
summer session at the Catholic
University given under the direction
of DR.. Leo Behrendt, opened auspi-
ciously last evening in Mcmahon
Hall. The program was given by
two Westinghouse, Hazel Arth,
contralto, and William Holden,
pianist.
Miss Arth, now living in New York
City, in her first group sang with
tenderness ITO Music by Schubert,
1.-The Message" by Brahms, Man
dolin" by Debussy and rose to a
powerful emotional climax in the
Arioso from La Morte de Jeanne
dare by Bemberg
The Mozart "Alleluja," Michael
Heads "Slumber Song of the Ma
DONNA" beautiful setting of Shell
ley's my Soul Is an Enchanted
Boat" done by Olmstead, and Take
Joy Home" by Bassett, comprised
second group, the diverse demands
of which were artistically met by
Miss Arth. Her beautiful voice has
greater flexibility than many con-
traltos and her pleasing stage pres
ence contributes no little to her
success in projecting her songs.
Mr.. Frederick Bristol of New York
was her very efficient accompanist.
Mr.. Holden played first the Bee
thoven &c Major Rondo," which is
an expression of one Of the compos-
er's genial moods. There followed
the Bach chorales, "In Thee Is JOY"
"Sleepers Awake" and Rejoice, Be-
loved Christians" AS transcribed
by Feruccio Busoni, these are en-
richments of the harmonic strength
of the chorale itself. They present
an involved task to the performer
who must maintain the steady chord
sequences without being distracted
by the figurations. When these two
elements are in the suitable adjust
ment of Mr.. Holden's Interpretation
there are impressive musical results.
A second group included the
Chopin &c Minor Etude," the heroic
content of which was in fine con-
trast with the same composers more
lyric 'E Minor Etude" Schumann's
Dedication" Transcribed by List,
was musical eloquence, and the fas-
cinating keyboard traceries of the
Niemann "Arabesdue," as also the
Debussy "Etude pour les Arpeges, I"
were facile and in fine balance of
tone. Iridescence of harmonic COL
oring was brought out in the De-
busy 'Poissons dor" with the ex-
cellent taste characteristic of Mr..
Holden's interpretations shich al
ways carry on the traditions of fine
pianism. s. A.

The Old Maif Will
Show At Bijou Here

THE Old Maid" co-starring Bette
Davis and Miriam Hopkins, will open
Tuesday at the Bijou theatre. Filmed
by Warner Bros, it has been hailed
the outstanding dramatic event
of the year-a rar combination of
brilliant talents in the fields of act
ing, writing and directing.
One feminine star especially if
she be that double Academy winner,
Bette Davis - might be considered
sufficient for a photoplay, no mat
ter how great. But in 1.-THE Old
Maid' there + two. Besides Bette
Davis there is the lovely and highly
capable Miriam Hopkins, who has
starred in many a topnotch produc-
ton on her own account. The girls
have equally important parts. This
is the first time, since they reached
stardom, that either has ever shared
acting honors or top billing honors
with another player of her own sex.
With Miss. Davis and Miss Hop
kins in the perturbation of "The
Old Maid" are such players as
George Brent, Jane Bryan, Donald
Crisp, Louise Fazenda, James Ste
phenson, Jerome Cowan, William
Lundigan, Cecilia LOTUS, Janet
Shaw, DeWolf Hopper and Rand
Brooks. The director was Edmund
Goulding, whose latest previous tri-
umph was Bette Davis sensational
Dark Victory
The story deals with two cousins,
Charlotte and Della Lowell, who live
in the same old house in a~ristocratic
Philadelphia in the period between
1861, when the Civil War broke out,
and the 1905. Despite the luxury
and wealth with which they are
surrounded, they hate and envy each
other for twenty-odd years: Then
the daughter of "the soul old maid
young girl played brilliantly
by Jane Bryan-is able to bring
mutual understanding to them as
their gray hairs and lined faces tell
they have entered middle age.
To complete the program we will
have a Disney Cartoon and NeWsreel.

Washington, Feb. l9.-Undersecre-
tary of State Sumner Welles, off for
Europe to talk with neutrals general
ly, including sentimental Italy, and
with belligerent Britain, France and
Germany in particular, may be en-
gagged in a promising JOB Of peace
missionary work, in so far as those
particular groups Of nations are con-
cerned, but certainly Uncle Sam isn't
improving his own relationships with
the Japanese, to his westward, or
with the Russians, in the other direc-
ton.
The very day that the Welles pros
pectiVe trip was announced the in
fluential Tokyo newspaper, Miyallo,
was serving editorial notice, presum-
ably with governmental approval
that the Jap-American situation has
reached the danger point''-that the
mikado must prepare, economically
and militarily, to cope with increas-
ing Yankee pressure"
Only one day later President
Roosevelt himself told the American
Youth Congress that 90 per cent OF
our people SympatnlIe WIN flnlanC
against Russia, that we're not neutral
though we're not belligerent in that
conflict, and that the Moscow regime
is an absolute dictatorship" All this
was true enough, no doubt. but it's
hardly to be expected that Comrade
Stain will like it.
The Japs, already aggravated by
| our cancellation OF our commercial
treaty with them, are furious at the
prospect of a big American loan t

Eighteen of each 100 white chill
