field and the men in the field must
be put to work creating new weap-

by the Army and the Inventors

only through the development of the

officers who are to command our

commanders of regiments and bat

ods of some of our most alert corpo-

methods in our Army.
7. Eliminate the traditional bar
riers between the different branches
of the Army such as the lines sepa-
rating the infantry from the air
corps, the artillery from the engi-
neers, and so on. There is a su-
premely important and conclusive
reason for this, if we are ever to get
a compact, fast-moving, hard-hit-
ting Army with the new plane tank
combination as its spearhead. In
such an army no single branch can
go it alone successfully. The mod
ern commander must be able to
coordinate in action two or three
or all branches-tanks, planes, en-
gineers, artillery. etc. In the forma-'

Mozart's Variations in A Major" 4"
Whether the fact that in a few days
will be the anniversary Of Mozart's
death and thoughts Of the composer
filled his mind, was responsible for
the extreme beauty of his presenta-
ton or because he himself was Of
softer bend. the variations" became
an elegy. Rachmaninoff is superb
Mozart player and rarely has the
transparent, spiritual beauty Of his
music been so thoroughly visualized
as was the case last evening. To
hear the Russian play this work
alone was worth the price of adj
mission.
At each of his appearances, Rach-
maninoff brings works that are not
done to death by the average pianist
and the broadening of knowledge
that his recitals give is one of their
attractions. Following the Mozart
was Beethoven's last sonata and
Schumann's Novelette, in ? Sharp
Minor" In hardly any Of Beetho-
ven's compositions do extremes meet
20 sharply as in the sonata, with its
titanic chords of the first movement
and the rare quality Of the arietta.
These two movements, which COM
prise the entire work, seem to rep
resent struggle and apotheosis, the
former being one of the few stormy
moments of the program. Schu-
mann's Novelette," composed in
utter Joy in having finally won the
woman he loved, is gay and fairy
like and the composer played 1t
con amore.
The remainder of his program
was given over to transcriptions, his
own of the Bach "Partita" for violin
alone and a group Of eight songs
three in Rachmaninoff' arrange
ment. With the exception of the
gavotte, the Bach work gained little
in its transference to the piano
medium. The clear line of the pre-.
lude was obscured by too much or
namentation, and the gigue also los'
some of its original character.
The piano arrangement of his owl
''Lilacs" and of Tschaikowsky'!
Lullaby" and Kreisler's "Liebes'
freud" are mastery in the manner
in which the melodies remain in
tact in all their purity in a pianisti
frame. This could not be said o

By HARRY MACARTHUR.

Veteran theatergoers no doubt
will remember a play called THE
Night of January 16," which was
around a few years ago. It's that
one that had two endings. the one
used depending ON the whim of the
jury chosen nightly from the audi
ence, trick which probably aroused
more interest in the play than its
dramatic merit deserved. The film
version of the courtroom drama,
which has turned up at the Metro
politan bearing the same name as
the original, can't make use Of the
same trick, obviously. but 1t can
settle the matter. Whereas those
amateur juries of the theater varied
in the opinions they formed listen
ing to the evidence, the cinema YER
sion never doubts the heroine's in
nOcence.
The film does bear some slight
resemblance to the play, in that 1t
also is about pretty secretary
accused of betting her employer
over the noggin and pitching him
of the penthouse porch. A dying
mans hand has clutched key on
the dictaphone and the frightened
lass has run across the street to
investigate instead Of shouting for
the constabulary, as any one but a
cinema heroine would. At any rate
there isn't much suspense in the
ensuing chase, because Director Will
liam Clemons has managed to tip
off his plot rather thoroughly in the
murder scene.
Dialogue brightens the piece in
spots and there are a few mildly
amusing comedy bits, especially one
involving a double-talking gasoline
station operator, who won't sell ga!
unless the customers are polite: he
doesn't sell much, but he makes his
point. There also is rather grue-
some drunk sequence which make,
for some agonizing moments. Ellen
Drew plays the leading lady of the
piece skillfully and the others are
passable. But they haven't achieved
anything more than a run mine
