The United States Secret Service,
which Is now conducting Know
Your Endorsers" campaign in con-
nection with its constant policy OF
trying TO prevent the theft and
forgery of government checks, is
urging that all Naval personnel ask
their dependents to follow certain
precautionary procedures In hand
ling government checks.
All Naval offlcers and men are re-
uuested by the secret service to adj
wise their dependents to take these
precautions:
1. Be at home, or have a men,
Der Of the family at home when
your Navy check Is due to arrive.
If you remove 1t from the mail box
Immediately it cannot be stolen by
check thief.
2. Be sure you have a deep strong
mail box with your name clearly
printed on 1t. Keep it locked.
3. II possible, arrange with your
mail carrier to signal when he de-
livers your check.
4. Notify your postmaster If you
change your address.
5. Cash your check at the same
place each month. This will make
Identification easier. The Secret
Service is cautioning merchants to
insist upon proper identification.
8. Do not fold, pin or mutilate
your allowance or allotment checks.
This Is very important to you.
The Secret Service reports a
steady increase in the number of
checks stolen or lost after mail de-
livery at designated addresses and
feels that If Naval personnel will
impress on those at home the i'm
portance Of properly safeguarding
their dependency checks that OPP

Starlight Series
Is Concluded by
Britt Ensemble
By ALICE EYERSMAN


The Wednesday series Of the Star
light Chamber. Music Concerts in
Meridian Hill Park concluded last
night with program by the Britt
String Ensemble. c. C. Cappel, man
ager, in short speech Of thanks to
the audience for its patronage, said
all eight of the concerts of the series
were given on the scheduled day
through record run of good
weather.
The coolest temperature of the
season added to the pleasure of last
nights program in the beautiful
setting Of the park. A good sized
audience was in attendance to well
come the artists who opened the
Starlight series last year and re-
turned to close it this season.
A change in name from that of
the Britt String Sextet to Britt
String Ensemble and a change of
personnel, with Horace Britt the
sole cellist and Viola Wasteriain re-
placing the first violinist of last
year, Reno Bolognini, have in no
way impaired the excellency of this
group. With Edwin Edeler as Sec
ond violin, Conrad Held and Gerald
Kunz as violists, the performance
retains the vigorous and polished
character which is the distinguish
ing feature Of the ensembles play
ing. Miss Wasterlain is q brilliant
violinist with sure and easy tech
nical control and a sweet tone which,
If not Of great amplitude, has a
suavity of its own.
The quality Of the playing of the
ensemble was demonstrated imme-
diately in Mozart's popular "Quin-
tet in G Minor, K. 516," which
glowed with fervor and spiritual
beauty. In the manner of pres
entation, with an infinite variety
OF shadings and with the greatest
artistic consideration given to the
expression Of each phrase, the work
was vividly alive with sentiment.
The players have matched their
tone and achieved unanimity Of idea
that functions with q smooth in
terplay OF sound as of one full
toned instrument.
The particular feature Of yester-
days program was the first per-
formance in this city of Bohuslav
Martinu's "String Quintet" which
was given its American premiere
nine years ago at the Coolidge Fes-
tival. It is dedicated to Elizabeth
Sprague Coolidge. This Czech COM
poser, who is following after his
two great compatriots, Smetana and
Dvorak, has a style all his own
which, however, is still in the proc
ess of developing.
The Quintet" has a sweeping
method Of exposition which is dis
tinguished by sharp contrast Of
mood. The first movement is
tumultuous, with q restless ques-
tioning that resolves itself into a
happy serenity in the final move
ment. A touch Of folk melody in
the Adagio, given to the viola, is
a nostalgia glance homeward in

runner-up Tor the distinction, bu,
she is we'll behind Miss Sullavan ir
voluntary obscurity.
Miss SULLIVAN is name on the tip
of more tongues today than she has
been in years-and the number OF
tongues still is not very great.
Her current emergence into the
outer fringe Of the spotlight is the
result of her intention to return this
year to the theater. Out of the re-
mote businesses of sleepy Southern
California she will come East to play
the feminine lead in the piquantly
titled THE Voice of the Turtle. -
That she will testifies to the fact
that playwrights, producers and di-
rectors never forget Miss Sullivan,
at least not moment beyond the
moment she decides 1t is high time
to be remembered again.
Miss SULLIVAN is that rare cinema
player who likes obscurity and is not
q bit afraid of 1t. She likes her
private life enormously, the more
, private the better. Because she Is
extremely gracious in her way Of
asking that it be kept private, she
remains on the best Of terms with
columnists, reporters and press
agents. Not for her do they think
up special awards for such distinc-
tions as being the most aloof, hard
to-interview, least cooperative ac-
trace N, IJol1vunod
When she leaves the screen to
have baby, as she has on three oc-
casions, you will see a note Of 1t per-
haps and that will be all. The birth
OF the baby probably will be men
toned in due time, and then both
its mother and the infant will be
forgotten until such time as the
former is ready for her next screen
role.
That was what happened when
Miss Sullivan left her most recent
retirement to assume her place in
the cast Of Cry Havoc" And now
again that she has decided to return
to her first and greatest love, the
theater.
Il tx
Miss Sullavan, who has brought
q special kind of radiance to the
screen, which a lot of customers pre-
fer to glamour and other more spec
tacular kinds of impact or appeal,
has managed her cinema career with
an admirable quality of intelligence
BY avoiding studio contract tie
ups of any kind, she has been al
lowed to select what parts she will
play and those she thinks should
be avoided as plague.
AS the wife of Leland Heywards
one of the more successful agents
In Hollywood, Miss SULLIVAN is ably
represented whenever a studio starts
looking over its literature and trying
to figure out who should be in it.
He is an aid to her not only In
selecting the right role but in the
choice Of the proper leading man,
an item Miss SULLIVAN considers
carefully before accepting an as
signment.
Her greatest recent successes were
"Shopworn Angel" and 1.-THE Little
Shop Around the Corner" III which
she was happily endowed with
James Stewart as leading man.
