Returns to PlaY
Starlight Concert
Br0sa Develops
As Artist W0rfhy
OfLead Role
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The third concert Of the Star
light series at Meridian Hill Park
last night brought back to this city
the world famous Pro-Arte String
Quartet, whose name has been iden-
titled with many beautiful pro-
grams played here by the members
Of the original group, such as the
one given several seasons ago at
the Folger Shakespeare Library.
Since then, with the passing of
Alfonso Onou, first violinist, the
personnel underwent two changes.
Antonio Brosa, distinguished Span
ish violinist, took the lead and
George Sopkin, cellist, joined as the
fourth player. Mr.. Brosa's growth
as a chamber music player has been
watched with great deal Of in
terest. His performance last night
proved that he is eminently worthy
OF the mantle which fell upon hi.
shoulders, to further the famous
traditions of this ensemble.
His warm and expressive tone
has gained in color and elasticity
since his last appearance here, en-
abling him to make the most of the
lovely cantilenas in Mozart's Quar-
tet in G Major K. V. 387," Bee
thoven's Quartet in c Major Op.
SO, No. 3" and Debussy's Quartet
in G Minor Op. 10" which formed
the program and which Mr.. Brosa
played con amore.

pathy for cats-the young man
eXudes menace, a brooding hatred
for society which makes no distinc-
tions between rich or poor, strong or
weak.
His fostering malady is some
thing from which you don't dare
take your eyes, at its best after Miss
Lake as a night club entertainer
who has piqued his curiosity strays
into his life The fact that he does
not give her the creeps, she of all
people he meets, does not arouse
the young mans affection as it
might in the average picture. 1t
induces, rather, a kind of stupified
wonder which at any moment may
flash into something more murder
Gus than anything the young man
has manifested before 1t keeps the
suspense going at great rate, espe-
cially after the girl, who is doing
FBI work on the side, lines up
the young mans help in trapping
as saboteurs a rich gang which he
would like to wipe out for personal
reason.
Miss Lake who looks more like an
actress than at any time since she
introduced the diStraught hair-do is
a fine associate for such an engross-
ing murderer. Their Joint pursuit
of the gang while they themselves
are being pursued by an army of
policemen is easily the finest chase
the movies have worked out this
season.
In spite of its pace. however,
Richard Wallace's direction has been
extremely careful to point the clar-
ity and excellence of every charac-
ter in This Gun for Hire" He has
had the collaboration of some Ca
pable people in addition to Miss
Lake and Ladd, most impressively
from Laird Creager as a soft
spoken double -crosser, and old Tully
Marshall as an invalid tycoon bent
upon selling out his country before
death lays its cold hand upon him.
This Gun for Hire" is something
to restore your faith in melodrama.
The articulate Flippen, product of
decades of speech sharpening be-
fore vaudeville and other audiences,
makes a fine master of ceremonies
of program as rich as this weeks
Capitol stage show. He is just the
fellow to speak worthily not only on
his own behalf but that of larkish
Miss Pickens. the elfln dancing Miss
Whitney and the terrifying Mac
Mahon who brings his portraits OF
gangster straight from Hollywood.

rent Halleux, violinist-the latter
we'll remembered as a serious ex-
ponent Of Mozart-who led the orig
inal group in performances Of Mo-
zart's quartets here in the past.
There were a number of fine
points in the execution of nuance
and dynamics, such as for instance,
the pizzicato cello passage inter-
preted by Mr. Sopkin, who extracted
vibrancy as well as sorority from
the cello, and in the performance
of Beethoven's fugue, taken at a
dangerously brisk pace played with
fine effect.
1t is believed that, due to the
size of the outdoor auditorium at
Meridian Hill Park, a closer circle
by the players, with the first violin
turned towards them. would pre-
vent the tone of the individual in
struments from spreading, thus Gre

of football with Bruce Smith is shown
this being shots of the 1941 game
between Michigan and Minnesota.

Mature has clipped and pasted va

1912. Ask him how the picture did

and he'll rattle off opening day re-

Just when he is hitting pay dirt

him go. To the boys who gather

one OF the most difficult things
for the physician 10 handle.
Most of these chronic head
aches have a nervous origin, but
with that class OF headache l do
no, intend 10 deal today.
I'VE reflex headache may come
L from eyes, teeth or from the
nose.
How often docs sinus disease
of the nose cause chronic head
ache?
Years ago Grucnwald taught
that headache was present in
100 per cent Of cases of acute
sinus disease and IN 80 per cent
of chronic cases.
An analysis Of cases AZ the
Cleveland Clinic puts tho per-
ccntagc much lower and shows
that headache is a symptom IN
only a small number OF cases Of
chronic sinus Infection.
In 295 cases Of chronic sinus
Infection OF the nose, headache
was the chief complaint IN only
- cases.
The chief symptom or sinus
disease is "A discharge in the back
Of the nose
Other symptoms were re-
current head cold. a feeling Of
StuitIne>S Of the ear. a cough
with or WITHOUT production Of
Sputum. asthma and allergy.
The cause Of headache of nasal
origin Is usually a deviation OF
the nasal Sepium which crowds
against the middle turbinated
bone and creates pressure
It may be an enlargement Of
The turblnate. swelling OF the
mucous membrane of the nose,
or SiaSiS following obstruction 10
drainage.
\ MOTHER cause Of discomfort
"A IN the head from sinus dis
ease IS congestion Of the cucula-
ton, which is greatly actNatcd
by Tho use Of alcohol or tobacco.
Nearly all sinus sufferers
think that tobacco is bad for
them and also that cocktails are
bad for them, and they are uSu-
ally right
Face ache. as distinguished
from headache is more frequent
as a symptom OF sinus disease
than headache itself
Congestion or obstruction az
the frontal sinus over the eyes
produces the severe pain in that
region
Obstruction Of the maNilliary
sinus. which is under the bones
of the face at the side of the
nose produces a face ache ON
one or the other side thar Is
quito severe but which goes away
quickly when the obstruction is
relieved
People with sinus disease also
suffer from rccurrcnt congestion
OF the nose which often Is called
allcrgy.
The treatment OF all of these
cases and symptoms depends
upon a careful examination by a
competent physician who can
examine the nose and also take
X-rayS and tranSilluminatc the
sinuSeS OF the nose.
