Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-24

A TRUCK convoy set
~ out one night re-
Y y Gently from a British
port to an American Army
base. Over 100 vehicles
made up the motorized
Yank escort that roared
over the English highway.
The outfit had just been
landed.
About tlvo miles outside
Of the port town, the long
line, with a great Screech-
ing of brakes, came TO a
quick stop. Dead ahead was
another motorized column
coming the other way II,
also, came 10 a sudden halt
and just in time, too.
Both were on the same side
OF the road.
Out of the first Amer
lean truck, leaped a tough
Brooklyn sergeant and eX-
cabbie. He started for the
truck that faced his head
on. Before he reached there,
a husky English cockney
stepped down from his cab.
"And where" began the
American, his fists on his
hips, d ia think yer goin' p
"Blimey, Mate" the Eng
lish soldier barked back.
Where do you think you
are going? You're on the

Then he stopped. \ silly
grin came over his face.
He stuck out his hand in
apology.

Symphony Ends Midweek Series
With Josef Hoffman, as Soloist

Symphony is to be congratulated
for the splendid results 1t has
achieved through its sponsorship
and hard work. However, faced
with the urgent need Of completing
the sum required for the sustaining
fund Of future concerts, an appeal
was made by Walter Bruce Howe,
vice president of the Orchestra As
sociation, before the program began,
for further pledges. Mr.. Howe sub
stituted for Representative Wads-
worth Of New York, who was unable
to appear as he desired and whose
written plea for support OF the
Symphony was read by Mr.. Howe.
Another Of DR.. Kindler's fine ar
rangements, that Of Handels
Prelude and Fugue in D minor"
opened the program and was fol-
lowed by the first local hearing of
Barber's commando March," The
sharp bridging of the centuries was
not so startling as it might have
been, for while Barber's work Is
thoroughly q reflection OF the ideas
and the musical speech of the pres
ent time, his exposition of them is
sturdy and wholesome enough to
blend in with Handel. Syncopated
rhythms and pronounced dis
cordancies are utilized in an able
way to clothe a stirring martial
spirit. It's inspiring virility makes
1t an excellent soldier number not
withstanding its modernism.
Using his specially designed res
onating top on his piano, Mr.. Hof-
mann played the Chopin Concerto
No. 2" for his solo appearance and,
despite many efforts from the
audience to entice an encore, con-
fined his performance to this one
number. The concerto has been
played here before by Mr.. Hofmann
and with more completely crafty
ing results. His splendid technical
prowess predominated in last nights
performance with all its clear cut,
fluid and pearly brilliance. For
some reason, the pianist was not in
the mood to take advantage OF the
poetical moments in the concerto
and to reproduce them with emo
tional direction. The lovely inter-
lude in the vigorous and elaborate
figures of the first movement and
the romantic character of the Sec
ond hardly offered a contrast to the
fire of the opening and the scintil-
lating quality Of the finale where
the artists pianistic deftness had
full play.
The orchestra's accompaniment
was sympathetically attuned to the
soloist and the same careful con-
sideration went into the perform
ance Of the Brahms Symphony No.
l." played after the intermission.
DR.. Kindler's Interpretation of
Brahms rejoices in the broad di-
mensions. the depth and the imag-
nation Of the master and portrays
them with fidelity.

De Havilland Case
Brings a Furore
Over Contracts
By Harold Hefernan.
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLY WOOD.
Every studio in town today is suf-
fering from an acute case of con-
tract jitters-and with very good
reason.
Action Of a Los Angeles court In
declaring Olivia de Havilland q free
agent because her seven-year con-
tract with Warner Bros. had been
extended from time to time has
thrown filmdom into an unroar.
Legal STATS were scanning con-
tracts on every lot, picking out for
close scrutiny those on which ex-
tensions had been made-either at
the order of the studio or upon re-
quest Of the party Of the second
part.
II the de Havilland decision Is up
held on appeal (Which Warmers
have taken) 1t is estimated that
more than IS per cent Of Holly
woods contracts will become invalid.
1t has been common practice on the
part Of studios to give actors 'lay-
offs" at the slightest provocation,
taking them OF salary and extend
ing their contracts to cover the
period of suspension.
Often this action is taken at the
request Of the actor. Nevertheless,
according tc the court decision. this
also constitutes q violation of the
contract.
Since Hollywood went on a war
time basis and SO many of its men
went into service, actress-wives have
asked for and received extensions
80 they could be with their mates at
camps throughout the country.
At 10th Century Fox. q galaxy of
the best-known feminine stars of
the screen have received suspensions,
at their own request, 50 they could
retire for impending motherhood.
Alice Faye, Betty Cradle, Gene
Terney and Maurene O'Hara are
among them-all in a position now
to quicken the termination of their
contracts by the length of their va
cation periods, If they should so
desire.
Warmers threaten a tough battle
before Olivia De Havilland is free
to work for another studio. They
promise to carry their case to the
highest courts. Meanwhile, Olivia
must sit by and wait-off salary, of
course. No other studio would dare
tamper with her services.
Warmers have set up something
Of a determined court record in their
many legal battles with players.
They once fought Bette Davis
through every court in this land,
then carried their battle to England,
where they won a rousing decision
one that cost Bette a small fortune.
Joe E. Brown, back from his Sec
ond long tour of battlefronts, was
guest Of honor at two civic events
last week. He brought back a cap
tured German flag from Italy and
presented it at q dinner given him
by the U. c. L. A. religious con-
ference.

ally known speaker, who presided,
