Three Historic Voices
Lend Impetus to
Hour Before Dawn
HOLLYWOOD.

Three history making war
speeches have been cleverly woven
into Paramount's The Hour Before
Dawn" to explain action and iden-
tify characters. Actual voices of the
King of England, Prime Minister
Churchill and Adolf Hitler are util-
lied from radio recordings.
First voice will be that of Hitler,
announcing on September l, 1899,
that Germany had invaded Poland.
Through that voice it is revealed
to the audience that Veronica Lake
is Nazi agent. One sentence is
effective in connection with her
character. The Fuehrer says, II also
expect of German women that they
enter this common struggle"
Next actual speech is made by
King George on September 3, 1899,
announcing war. Immediately after
this speech Franchot Tone is forced
to reveal that he will go before a
tribunal as conscientious objector
The Churchill speech used is that
of July IA, 1910, in which he said,
I'VE would rather see London laid
in ashes and ruin than that it should
be tamely, abjectly enslaved." This
sentence later sticks in Tones mind
when he learns that his wife
(VeronicO is an enemy. He stran-
giles her and enters into the war as
a comba atant.

An Original Original

Catholic University's speech and
drama department which carries on
without sacrifice OF standards
through every vicissitude of war-a
lot of vicissitudes as they relate to
the college theater-is still unfeazed
by the impact of time and events.
Its male playwrights, for the most
part, gone and its actors disappear
ing from day to day, it has turned
to the distaff side momentarily to
produce one of its more arresting
summer offerings.
The occasion is the production of
Capt. Patricia Treadwell's "Stran-
ger at the Gate" drama which
speaks bluntly and pointedly of the
necessity of love in human existence
Capt. Treadwell, now a WAC and
former student of Walter Kerr's
playwriting course, is speaking of
love in none of the words limited
terms She speaks of it, rather, in
its most enveloping sense and if she
does it confusingly at times that is
no more nor less than her elders
have done since they began to ana
lyze the emotion. In the main, she
has achieved an admirable con-
ciseness which, with bit more of
relieving lightness, would greatly
increase the merit of stranger at
the Gate"
Protagonist Of Capt. Treadwell's
thesis that humans must have love

motherless daughter of a Senator
who is too busy with politics to no.

Charles O'Connell returned from
Philadelphia for another bit OF
guest conducting for this program,
which was given in place of the
twice rained-out concert scheduled
July 8.
On January 16. 1885, the young
violin prodigy. Emo Valasek, was
introduced to the washington pub
lie at Mrs. Lawrence Townsend's
Morning Musicale, sharing the pro-
gram with Lotte Lehman, soprano
Of the Metropolitan Opera. His vir-
tuosity and maturity of feeling at
that time astounded his listeners
and operated in the same manner
at his second local appearance Of
major Importance last night. The
years have seasoned his playing and
his service in the Army has not
harmed it. His fiery temperament,
soulful tone and finger facility made
a profound impression.
For his appearance with the Ma
tional Symphony he chose the me-
lodious Concerto No. 3 in B minor"
by Saint-Saens. which gives every
opportunity to the performer to dis
play his tone and technique. After
the first nervousness had worn
away, Pvt. Valaseks tone gained in
freedom and his performance was a
crescendo of brilliant effects, both
musically and technically.

a singer of distinction was to be
recognized in Pvt. Darwins sing
ing of the aria. IL lacerato spirito"
from Verdi's Simon Boccanegra, :"
which he gave as his first encore.
The vibrancy and warmth of his
voice was liberated for complete
realization of the operate line and
the emotional effect.
Chadwick's 'Lochinvar," an epic
for voice and orchestra, was his
listed number, which he delivered
with sonorous tone. The composer
has shown more imagination in his
treatment of the orchestra than of
the voice, which is given the less
interesting role.
The piano was brought forward
again as background for his en-
cores and he introduced his accom-
panist, Sergt. Virgil Fox, who needs
no introduction to the local pub
lie, where his talent as organist and
pianist is well known. His accom-
paniments in the aria, Malottes
Song of the Open Road" Youman's
Without a Song" Travel Light"
and Use Tired inspired the singer
to his finest efforts which brought
thunderous applause from the de-
lighted audience. Pvt. Darwin has

They Have to Carry
The Film in Iceboxes
And on Muleback
HOLLYWOOD.

Bidding fearful farewell to the
location trip, as Hollywood did
when the gas and rubber situation
grew critical, was bit premature
1t would seem now. judging by the
increasing number of companies
resuming long distance jaunts out
side the film capital.
Nevertheless, going on location is
a monumental problem these days
and the food and transportation
worries aren't the only ones. A unit
comprising A men left Hollywood

Crows annual buffalo hunt.
In order to get their cameras

While making her very first pic

In one scene during the 40 years

Not only did Howard acquiesce,
but he enhanced the part the ear
rings were to play in the Cagney
production by getting them in

What the camera could not re-
veal, however, were the inscrip-
tions: On one earring IL said,

other, "Grace George, 1907" They
were given to Miss George by Miss

On the Fort Bragg set of "See

who plays the title role, Robert
Walker, discusses his career, his hair
cut and his wife, Jennifer Jones.
First he talks about his hair.

soldier I've got to have an Army
haircut. But I'm also in Madame
Curie' and have some retakes to do
and for that picture I wear side
pieces" The latter have been
shaved off, and, to cover his longish
top hair, Bob wears an Army cap.
When he reports for Madame
Curie" he will wear phony side
pieces and after the retakes his locks
will be shorn for the scenes in which
he must be bareheaded.
