please, Mr.. Boyer said little Ella
Raines. Please, how do I play
love scene?" Charles Boyer took the
girl in his arms and said: That I
can show you better than tell you"
And he showed her. The 2l-year-
old graduate of the University of
Washington. who, by the way, has
just recovered from the German
measles, is in the unique position
Of having the one and only Charles
as her dramatic coach. She is his
sole pupil. The fascinating French
man naturally wants her to be
big star. And whenever Ella is not
quite sure how to play a scene she
daShes to her teacher for advice.
And now it had better be explained
how Ella, without previous expert
ence on the professional stage or
screen, has the one feminine role
with $50 menD in the Howard
Hawks "Corvette' picture, also a
huge part in Metros Cry Havoc, 1"
and is owned, so to speak. by Boyer,
who has her under personal con-
tract on a $3.50 basis with Producer
Director Hawks

Budapest Quartet
Concludes Series
BY ELENA DE SAYN.

The concluding concert OF the
spring series by the Budapest String
Quartet at the Library of Congress
last night was given a special fes-
tive touch when the President of
Liberia and his party now in Wash
ington on an official visit entered
the auditorium escorted by the chief
of the music division of the Library.
The guests we're given hearty re-
ception by a capacity audience,
which rose to its feet to greet them.
In the course of many appear
ances one has grown to take the su-
perlative ensemble of the Budapest
group for granted. Their playing
last night, however, seemed to be
animated from within more than
usual, to grip and to enrapture the
listeners by the very spirituality Of
approach and beauty of tone. 1t
must have been something of reve-
lation to many and especially to
those who possibly heard them for
Minor Op. H." still in manuscript.
In the hands of the Budapest Quar-
tet, the work took on a sweep and
grandeur to confirm the as yet un-
exploited theory and belief that all
American music needs to win last
ing favor is to have great perform
ers and interpreters who can place
it in favorable light 1t is mostly
prejudice, an ungenerous attitude
on the part of the players, hur-
ried or insufficient preparation
which make native music seem be-
low par.
That Mr.. Barber had a message to
give and conveyed it we'll, was the
immediate impression in the vigor-
Gus and dramatic beginning which
the composer developed as he went
along. Exaltation. melodic intensity,
lofty meditation and religious fer
vor. concorded in rich harmonies
throughout the composition, played
without break, Furthermore. the
work has spontaneity and a pleas
ing natural idiom.
The happy choice of Schubert's
Quartet in A Minor Op. 29,"
abounding in lovely flowing melo-
dies, and Beethoven's Quartet in
A Minor, Op. 1872" a thanksgiving
hymn of convalescent, not unlike
a bejeweled frame, served to set
off Mr.. BARRIERS work to the best
advantage and brought with it
reWarding reception.

with none of the usual elements of

challengeable journalism it seems on
the surface. Hollywood's old pose as

AS clear as the fact that it cam

the import of Mission to Moscow"
namely that Warner Bros do not
want you to think any i'll of preWar
Russia. Whatever you have heard
before Ambassador Joseph E. Davies
wrote the book on which the film is
based, the producers palpably want
you to forget it. Instead, they ask
you to believe that life in Russia
has been a great and noble adven-
ture, almost Identical with life in
democracy, specifically America.

have heard, for instance, that there
was some unhappineSs there before
the war that there was payless work
and human want. Those who wrote
that were maliciously, or innocently,
falsifylng the record, the film says.
You may have heard that the purge

every canon of justice known to

scholars and generals and others
were confessed traitors who died for
the sin Of trying to sell their country
to the japanese and the Germans.
Or you may have heard that Rus
sla signed an agreement with Ger

film admits, but that was the fault
of England and France, who were
trying to beat Moscow to an identical
agreement so Hitler would attack
Russia instead of the Western

principle and giving the local boards
leeWay to decide each individual case
on its merits"
The test for issuance of the per-
mits will not be whether it is "ade-
quate," the spokesman said He eX-
planned that while most resort areas
frequented by Washingtonians are
served by train or bus, the public
transportation service in some cases
may not be adequate.
A motorist who planned to spend
several weeks at his summer home
and therefore had to take "a lot of
pots, pans and blankets" probably
would not be expected to carry all
of these on the train or bus, the
OPA official said.
Local Office Has No Comment.
The distance to be Travelled might
also have some bearing on the local
boards decision, he pointed out. A
person planning to drive long dis
tance with only two persons in the
car probably would not receive as
much consideration as one planning
to take his wife and several children
on a vacation a short distance away.
District OPA officials said they
would not comment on the vacation
order until they received official
copies from the national office.
The vacation grant was extended
to holders of B ana c ration books,
but OPA emphasized that motorists
must make the vacation trips on
supplies obtained out of the basic
A ration only. Thus, the motorist
must certify. and satisfy his ration
board, that he has sufficient gasoline
purchased on A coupons to make
the complete trip.
One of the undecided questions
about the plan is whether motorists
will be able to drive out of the East
ern ashortage area into the West
Off1cials explained there was no real
objection to driving westward. but it
involved technical coupon difficulties
which have not yet been solved.

A books No. coupons which are
currently valid in the West. In the
East motorists are still using No. 5
coupons and are supposed to save
No. 6 coupons for use in the four
months following July 2l.
The difficulty arises, however
from the fact that In the West,
after July 81, gasoline coupons will
come from a new book soon to be
issued. AS matters now stand, a
vacationing Easterner would have
no way OF getting one of the new
Western books and hence could buy
no gasoline in the West after July 81
Officials are studying proposals
which might overcome this difficulty
but said it may be week or two
before decisions are reached.
The amendment to rationing reg
ulatlons to permit vacation travel
was issued simultaneously with the
publication of new book by Secre-
tary of the Interior Ickes entitled
"Fightin' Oil"
Mr.. 1ckes said petroleum stocks
on the Atlantic Seaboard are at ar
all-time low and that "our militar,
future is not adequately protected.
Procedure Outlined.
Here is how the vacation traveI
plan will work:
Before making a proposed vaca
tion trip motorists must apply t<
their local rationing board for writ.
ten authorization. stating the start.
ing point and the destination of the
trip and dates on which it will be
made. Forms will not be available
until July Is, and motorists were
asked not to apply before that date
The boards written authorization
for the trip will not constitute an
extra ration of gasoline. but will
provide statement for the motor
lists use should he be questioned
about compliance with the ban on
nonessential driving.
Obtaining an authorize ton by
false presentations. OPA said, would
be grounds for revocation of all ra
tions and denial of future rations
as well as possible criminal proceed
ings.
An applicant must satisfy his
ration board and certify that he has
sufficient gasoline. purchased on A
coupons, in the fuel tank of his car
or enough A coupons to make the
complete trip
1t is improbable. however, that
any motorists will still have all OF
the presently valid coupons. OF
would want to use all of the coupons
for the next rationing period fol-
single trip. The eight coupons
which become valid July % must
last until November %.
Results Awaited.
Mr.. Brown predicted that with
strict compliance" no substantial
increase in gasoline consumption
would result from allowing motor
lists with A coupons to make g
single round trip to a vacation
place. 1t was learned, however. that
Mr.. Brown had asked the Petroleum
Administration for 10000 to $4,000
barrels of gasoline a day to put
the plan into effect. and that hi.
request had been turned down. The
Petroleum Administration did MOI
object, provided the gasoline quota
for the East Coast remained al
$4,000 barrels a day.
Should it develop that despite
vigorous enforcement an excessive
amount of gasoline is being used il
will be necessary for OPA to aban
don the plan" Mr.. Brown declared
