Symphony No. 5, in E Minor" read

Concerto in D minor, Op. o." Now

Shumsky already is well-known here

ances with the Primrose String
Quartet at Meridian Hill Park last
summer and his recent debut with
the Navy Band Symphony Orches-
ira at the Marine Barracks.
The artist has a technique equal
to all present day demands of a
virtuoso and an impeccable stac-
cato. He has also a singing tone
and great deal of temperament,
which, at times, has the tendency
to get out of control. His perform
ance of the concerto was artistic
in every way if not always individ-
ual or distinctive in style. The
violinist was enthusiastically ap-
piauded and recalled several times.
Thomas overture to his opera
"Mignon" and Borodine's "Polovet-
Zian Dances" completed an inter-
esting and well-chosen program. The
next concert by the Navy Band
Symphony is scheduled for Febru-

Real Commands Aided.
That this feature generates an
air of realism is due to the fact
that it had hundreds of Canadian
soldiers, trained as Commands. to
give it verisimilitude. 1t was filmed
against the rugged mountains and
shimmering seascapes of Vancouver
Island, British Columbia, with the
assistance of the Canadian govern
ment. A grim warship of the
Canadian Navy was loaned to the
company between its sub-hunting
patrols.
Paul NUM- plays the Nordic fish

events decreed he and his compan-
ions must become gangsters, thugs,
useful with the knife, sandbag, dyna-
mite and moose. He becomes expert
in Commando tactics in perform
ance that is subdued but powerful
in its sincerity. Anna Lee, Lillian
Gish, Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Robert
Coote and Ray Collins are excellent
in the important supporting roles.
John Farrow, who directed Wake

real sense of excitement and the

a manner most moviegoers will find
1t utterly thrilling.

Probably no human mortal has

has Rickenbacker. From the days

through his World War experiences
and his crash as an Eastern Air

His last rescue on the Pacific alone
