Rewrite of Scene

When scenarist Claude Binyon
wrote the original draft of Para
mounts Take a Letter, Darling" he
had a scene In which Rosalind Rus
sell wore q wedding gown and was
about to get married to Macdonald
Carey. Then the scene was re-
written, with Miss Russell wearing
a tan suit while rehearsing the cere-
mony, but becoming infuriated with
the groom and walking out before
the wedding itself could get under
way.
That scene is rehearsed today, and
Roz declares herself very disap-

Nine. Chautemps
Brilliant In
Piano Recital
BY ALICE EvERSMAN.

A program unique in that 1t fea-
tured exclusively music by French
composers was given yesterday aft
ernoon at the Sulgrave Club by the
distinguished French pianist, Nine.
Camille Chautemps. The concert
was for the Alliance Franchise de
Washington and as assisting artists
in one group was a trio composed
Of Milton Schwartz, first violin;
Paul Brightenburg, second violin,
and Howard Mitchell, cellist.
Nine. Chautemps, in spite of a
busy official life, has kept her pian-
istic career a brilliant one by con-
certs throughout Europe. AS DEM
onstrated yesterday in her program,
she is endowed with superlative
gifts which are the splendid medium
Of vivid temperament. A tech
nique pliable in the extreme gives
a dazzling quality to her perform
ance, even when the full weight of
power Is used for broader effects.
She. Is mistress Of color painting in
tone and her musical insight seizes
on every opportunity to display her
mastery.
In this glowing manner she pre-
sented rarely heard works by three
contemporary composers - Saint
Saens, Chabrier and Faure. These
men, who have added so much to
the history Of French music, were
at the height Of their creative pow
ers at almost the same time, Cha
brier being the only one not to con-
tinue to a ripe old age. Their music
has the ever-present stamp Of
elegance with, In the case of Cha
brier, an exuberance that delights
in sharp rhythms.
This contrast was best exemplified
in the two waltzes of the first group
Saint -Saens' "Valse Nonchalante'
and Chabrier's "Scherzo Valse
Nine. Chautemps' brilliant reading
emphasized the difference and she
again drew on her artistic resources
for an impressive delineation of two
moods of Faure in his Romance
and "Impromptu." This first group
opened with an arrangement by
Saint-Saens Of "Ballets dAlceste,
written for the court of Louis XIV
Between the two piano groups
the string trio played suite by
an earlier composer. Jean Marie
Leclair. Divided into five sections
entitled "Forlane," '"Lentement,
"Menuet," "Badinage" and "Cha-
come" it has all the graceful con-
struction of a period that saw the
greatness Of Handel. Mr.. Schwartz
Mr.. Brightenburg and Mr.. Mitchell
played it in suave fashion, their
tones blending with pleasant effect

AFL Fights Sales
And Payroll Tax

Washington, d. C.-OrganiZed labor
will continue to fight vigorously against
adoption of federal sales tax, Presi-
dent William Green of the American
Federation of Labor writes in a signed
editorial in the July issue of the Amer
lean Federationist Any form of pay
roll tax, except for social security
purposes, will also be opposed, Mr..
Green adds.
Failure of the House Ways and
Means Committee, which has the task
of preparing the new tax bill, to adj
here to the basic principle of taxing
every citizen in accordance with his
ability to pay is criticized by Mr..
Green. He points out that the COM
mittee has reduced rates on the upper
brackets below the recommendations of
the Treasury and still allows business
concerns exemptions on all pre-war
profits before applying excess profits
rates"
because of these decisions and the
failure to stop lOophOles which escape
or reduce tax payments" Mr.. Green
writes. the Ways and Means Com
mittee'S plans fall short of Treasury
proposals by approximately three bill
lion dollars.
ITO overcome this shOrtage-a short
age due to unwillingness to tax the
higher incomes according to their abil-
ity to pay-SOme Congressman suggest
sales tax, which will fall most
heavily upon the poorest, or withhold
ing income at the source, such as Il
payroll tax, which ignores the prin-
ciple of capacity to pay"
The American Federation of Labor
has repeatedly asked the Ways and
Means Committee TO provide for higher
contributions, based upon payrolls for
the extension and improvement of the
social security system, Mr.. Green re-
calls, adding that Congressional failure
to heed this recommendation would
constitute "a crime against labor and
society"
Let the war industries and wage
earners now accumulate the funds in
social security reserves with which to
meet the diSlOcation of conversion to
peacetime production, Mr.. Green
urges. These funds would he invested

Kenny, nothing loath, assumed an

to humble the verses, finishing finally,
after mucht prompting from his fond
mother Meanwhile we, the guests, had
to appear properly impressed and de-
lighted with his precocity. 1t was hard
because at dinner, just finished, we had
had to listen not only to Kenny but
about all his cute sayings and to smile
politely until our face muscles were
uncomfortably stiff.
1t had been quite different at the
Frankln'S the week before. There the
children were hushed every time they
opened their mouths, and each time we
felt very sorry for them.
These are extreme cases but they
occur fairly often. Kenny is on the way
to become a "show-off," egotistical and
self-centered, while the Franklin pro
geny are likely always to be ill at
ease in company, unable to express
their thoughts.
There is middle road. While
youngsters should not be allowed to
monopolize the conversation, yet they
cannot learn to express themselves if
they are never given a chance. The old
