Budapest Quartet
Plays Brilliantly
By ELENA DE SAYN.

Last nights concert at the Library
of Congress by the Budapest String
Quartet proved to be a real treat to
their admirers, who filled the audi

was in an unusually good form and
played with a great deal of bril-

"Sullivan's Travels" were talkative
journeys. perhaps too much so upon
occasion, but they add up on the
whole to some of the most pleasant,
easy-to-listen-to dialogue you have
heard in some time The chatter is
at its quitely humorous best when
1t is between the director and the
frustrated little gamin who wanted
to be a movie actress. Their first
rather remarkable exchange of ideas
takes place in an owl wagon where
he-with a dime in his pocket and
forgotten thousands in the bank
undergoes the delightful humiliation
OF having her buy his urgently

The incidental characters Of "Sul-
livan's Travels" are a varied and
interesting lot who illustrate ably
the author producer directors skill
in bringing people alive. They run

riety that few pictures have and all
of them created with sharp, sure
strokes.

the run of screen plays that it is easy
to recommend.
