Welcome, Winter!

The most thrilling weather report of re-
cent years was rushed to every corner Of
the earth last week. It read: cts showing
and freezing cold on the Volga".
Even to those of us here in the quiet and
peaceful mountains of North Carolina who
have not heard bomb drop or cannon
roar or a single agonized cry of child who
has suddenly had limb torn off by piece
of shrapnel, this news came as an answer
to our prayers.
Snow on the Volga has never been
news before Ordinarily it would be news
if there wasn't snow on the Volga by this
time of the year. Long winters heavy
billiards and sub-zero temperatures are
normal weather in the vicinity of Stain
grad ......-.--..-.
But this years snow in Russia is some
thing entirely different. This years snow
actually constitutes. a shipment of arms
from the heavens which is more terrifying
to the Germans thansany quantity of tanks,
guns or men could possibly be.
The whole German. campaign in Rus
STA for the past six nqonths has been aimed
at crushing the Red army and capturing
the rich Russian oil fields before winter
The Germans have sacrificed thousands
perhaps millions more men than needed
to be sacrificed in order to accomplish this
ambition at any cost..sg5SAnd they have fail
ed! Winter was the deadline which the
Nazi set for themselves and winter has
now heralded into Russia by "crushing"
snow flakes.
Last winter Hitler and his armies had
a bitter taste Of "a Russian winter. Thou
sands of his men were frozen in their
tracks. Thousands more suffered untold
misery as they attempted to fight off the
charging Red army M matter how insane
the German soldier may be in his devotion
to Hitler, his spirits viii be broken by
spending another winter on the Russian
front. Already there have been stories of
rebellion in Italy, in Germany and in con-
quered countries by soldiers who PREFER
ed death before "a firing r. squad to being
sent to Russia at this time of the year.
Those soldiers know about their COM
rades who were frozen to death in Russia
last year. They have talked with those
who managed to survive. They have heard
about frozen supply lines hunger, months
of endless cold and constant attacks on
German camps by well-fed, well-clothed
winter fighters of Russia. They have heard
about planes that would not fly and about
guns that would not shoot.
Yes, the Nazi army breads another win
ter in Russia and Hitler naturally fears the
consequences of it.
The way the Russians have held out at

LORD CHESTERFIELD
Evening star., 1942-02-16
By ALICE EvERSMAN.

The program devoted to Russian
music which the National Symphony
gave yesterday afternoon revealed
two men, a composer and a soloist,
who have brought fresh vitality to
musical creation. The first is Serge
Prokodeff, whose Classical Sym
phony" was the major orchestral
number OF the program, and the sec
ond Nathan Milstein, violinist, who,
in the playing Of his solo selection,
Tschaikowsky's concerto for violin
and orchestra, showed fresh slant
in matters of Interpretation and Of
delivery.
Memories of great violinists who
have either passed away or are past
their zenith Of performance make
it difficult to give just credit to
those before the public today. Mr..
Milstein need fear no such compari-
son, for in his art he combines the
best Of the old with the best Of the
new. He has the broad. full tone
that distinguished the old, fondly
remembered artists and a fire and
technical brilliancy that can equal
any the later-day virtuosi have cul-
tivated.
1t is by the union of the grand
style and the present trend in violin
playing that he gives a new impetus
to the art. He has freshened up
the repertoire by his great vitality,
his rich musical feeling and his
responsive temperament and is able
to give the roundabout perform
ance that moves and enthralls at
the same time.
Tone Deeply Vibrant.
This was exactly the effect Mr..
Milstein had yesterday in his play
ing Of the Tschaikowsky concerto
The deep vibrancy Of his tone made
much Of the beautiful passages
which he directed with emotional
urgency. The principal themes Of
the first movement and the whole
of the second, where his poetic
sentiment gave the muted tone an
ethereal quality, were sketched with
a sure and artistic touch which held
dominance also over the stirring
final movement. Although his de-
sire to give full rein to his technical
prowess in the speedy measures Of
the finale was felt, he held It under
restraint for greater clarity and
effectiveness Six times the audi
ence recalled him with tumultuous
applause, to which he finally re-
sponded with Caprice by Paganini,
unaccompanied, which was delivered
with the same musical insight and
temperamental elan.
Mr.. Milstein has not been heard

for his brilliant portrayal Of Abra-
ham Lincoln-both on stage and
screen-Massey says he prefers to

Picture called for breath-taking
stunt and job was handed to George
Suzanne. ex-circus tumbler ). From
50-foot wall, Suzanne had to dive
head first and land on two mat

Stunt man did trick easily, landing
on shoulder, executing quick turn
which brought him to his feet.
"The Ghost OF Frankenstein"-
This is fourth Of famous Kranken-
stein movies :. with each new one
Universal says it's the last that
puts superhuman chore up to script
writers, for at end Of each picture
the monster meets his doom in some
horrible and very definite manner
and it's up to writer's to show at
start Of each new picture how he
really wasn't so dead after all.

If actors were supposed to be cole
they ought to be cold, he felt. Moth
ing might have come of it, however
had not Welles started work or

is possible to 60 a long time without
running into winter story, as, fol
example, in Dorothy Lamour pic
lures.
The Harrington story, however
did have winter, and winter in In
diana, at that. That was Welles
dish.
When his prop men suggested the
usual powdered oatmeal, which is
Hollywood's favorite snow, Welles
politely hit the ceiling.
Does powdered oatmeal make the
breath steam?" he asked icily.
The prop men admitted 1t did not

Welles declared
The prop departments first
thought was to go to the nearby
mountains.

tains have snow and cold and make
the breath steam, all right, but they
also have fir trees and look like
mountains. Indiana has neither fiji
trees or mountains"
That left his associates Stymied
but not Welles. He just gathered
his cast, crew and equipment and
took them down to Los Angeles
largest ice plant which had been
remodeled to look like Indiana and
which, without any remodeling, was
capable of producing any temper
ature which Wellesian realism de-
manded. Tons of ice were crushed
to provide the exact depth of snow
on which the actors acted, their
breath steaning like mad with each
exhalation.

Soloists Praised for Fine
Performances in Concert
Prokofeff and Milstein Appear
With National Symphony Orchestra
In Program of Russian Music

here publicly since he appeared on
one Of Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's
programs some years ago. His ar.
tistic development in that time has
been great showing in his search fol
the deeper side Of music rather than
the spectacular. What he con-
tributes in his interpretations is OF
lasting value and the ovation given
him yesterday was a recognition OF
an appreciation of this by his lis
teners.
Prokofieff, whose delightful Pete,
and the Wolf" will be played soor
again by the National Symphony
has shown how much the modern
outlook can revivify an older style
in his Classical Symphony" The
charm of his writings lies in their
naturalness and spontaneity and
under this same influence he turned
his talent to copy that of another
composer whose music also had the
same elements in 1t. With Mozart as
a model the Russian modernist has
written q work along the lines popu-
lar with Mozart and made out Of II
one Of his most important SYM
phonic compositions.
His Approach Is Fresh.
Whatever Prokofief1's intentions
he has proven that, seen from the
intensely individual angle that is
his, the appeal of the older style is
irresistible In his deft handling
of the four movements, in the glow
of his constantly fresh approach, he
points the way to a revival of mu-
sical creation that need not aban-
don the path already we'll traced by
the celebrated masters. The "Clas-
sical Symphony" is ingenious, clever
and Interestingly constructed even II
the Prokofief trademark of certain
melodies are used once again.
The orchestra played it brilliantly
but scored Its most pronounced sue
cess in the two other numbers OF
its program; the overture to Glinka's s
Russian and Ludmilla" and Tschai-
k0wsky'S overture 6olennelle, 1872
Both were directed by DR.. Kinder
in fiery fashion so that the audience
was given q real thrill, particularly
in the Tschaikowsly overture, where
the dramatic climax was superbly
developed. Applause burst forth
spontaneously and continued for
some time, thoroughly rewarding the
conductor and the orchestra men
for their excellent work.
