Open Library
Concert Series
By ALICE EyERsMAN.

The set of three concerts which
will cover all the violin sonatas of
Beethoven was inaugurated last
night in the Library Of Congress
by the two artists of the series,
Joseph Szigeti, violinist, and Claudio
Arrau, pianist. Presented under
the sponsorship of the Gertrude
Clarke Whittall Foundation, the
interest in hearing the sonatas per-
formed by musicians of such dis
tinction resulted in the Coolidge
Auditorium being taxed to the limit
with the Whittan Pavilion fully as
crowded.
For this first concert, the sonatas
chosen, in &c Minor, Op. 80, No. g."
"A Major, Op. IL, No. q and that
in &c Major, Op. 96," represent the
best Of Beethoven's writings in this
form with the exception of the
"Kreutzer" which will be played on
the final program. Besides this fact,
the opportunity to hear the works
Interpreted by artists of the caliber
and soloist prestige of Mr.. Szigeti
and Mr.. Arrau was one not to be
missed.
Their distinctive qualities were
apparent throughout the concert
and cast the character of the per-
formance. The ensemble improved
in balance as the program pro-
gressed, the first sonata, for all its
martial style, being more uneven in
this respect. It is true that the

And Tarzan came down from the
escarpment jungle, crossed the des-
ert to Bir Harani, entered the evil
jungle and there found his latest
pack of adventure.
Wild and woolly? See the chron-
lcling of it, "Tarzan's Desert Mys-

the great man has never before
been braver nor more intrepid; and

A letter from Jane starts Tarzan
off to his latest test of greatness.
Jane. as you know, is home in Eng
land caring for wounded soldiers.
She requests her mate to send back
supplies of the medicinal vine which
pulled Boy through his dangerous
fever in infancy. The only place
this vine grows is, of course, in the
horror-infested evil jungle across
the way. Tarzan doesn't hesitate.
"A fig for peril" remarks he in
his monosyllabic way, and sets out
with Boy, Cheetah and wild stall
lion they pick up en- route.
Moreover, Tarzan, the champion
OF freedom and democracy any,
where, gets those vines.
But first, trouble brews in Bir
Harani. A man with a sinister
squint to his eye and unouestion-
able NaZi inclinations in his heart
is trying to stir up a desert war
between the Emir of Harani and
nominally friendly neighbor. An
American showgirl whom the Tar
zanic retinue meets at an oasis be-
comes involved in this difficulty
because she has the information to
expose Herr Hendrix. Murder

Bing Crosby is rated tops in many
departments, but no one to date has
ever called him great actor. How
ever, it's almost tradition in Holly
wood that actresses who land good
death scenes and actors who play
members of the clergy can't help
carving themselves inches in the hall
Of acting fame.
We happened in on a preview OF
Crosby's latest movie, Going My
Way?" and in 1t Bing plays the role
of young priest. He has never
given such sincere and endearing
screen performance. So, who knows
but what the crooner may some day
be picking up an acting Oscar?
Crosby's priest role is radical
departure for him, but at least he's
in good company. A similar role
made a star of Spencer Tracy and
another added greatly to Pat
O'Brien's stature.
1t was as Father Tim in "San
Francisco" with Clark Gable and
jeanette Macdonald, that Tracy
scored his first, outstanding hit, fol-
lowing it two years later with Boys
Town" and then Men Of Boys
Town" In both of the last two
named he played Father Flanagan.
O'Brien's first memorable part as
a priest was in angels With Dirty
Faces" with James Cagney and Ann
Sheridan. But his Father Duffy in
The Fighting 69th" has become
much more Of a classic.
To go a little farther afield in re-
ligious characterizations, H. B.
Warner was remembered for years
for his portrayal of Christ in "The
King of Kings" George Arliss'
Cardinal Richelieu was possibly his
outstanding part on stage and
screen.

Government 10 Press
New Charges Agains'
Society Burglar

The Government today prepared
to press new charges against James
P. Mitchell, so-called society bur-
glar," following a Supreme Court
decision yesterday holding that the
Court of Appeals here improperly
had applied the ''McNabb rule" in
reversing two District Court bur-
glary convictions under which
Mitchell faced aggregate prison
terms Of one to four and one-half
years.
The Government had used the
Mitchell case to test the McNabb
rule, which the Supreme Court laid
down a year ago in setting aside
murder convictions against three
Tennessee mountaineers on the
ground that the men had not been
arraigned with reasonable prompt
ness" after arrest, and that confess
sions obtained during their deten-
ton were therefore invalid.
Courts all over the country began
applying a rigid exclusion rule for
confessions in the wake of the
McNabb decision, and it was to get
more light on the Supreme Courts
intent that the Government ap-
pealed the Mitchell case.
Yesterdays decision was hailed by
Solicitor General Charles Fahy as
more liberal than the McNabb de-
cision generally has been construed
to be-" The decision, he added,
makes clear that the mere fact that
detention is Illegal is not enough
to invalidate a confession unless the
detention has some direct bearing
on obtaining the confession.
More than 80 housebreaking
charges are pending against Mitch
ell, and it was said at the Office
of United States Attorney Edward
M. Curran that a study of all would
be made to determine which will be
pressed. The sentences already i'm
