Navy Band Three
Present Concert
BY ELENA DE sAYN.

A concert presenting three artists,
Alto Micci, violinist; Francis Tursi,
viola, and John Wigent, pianist, all
Of whom are with the United States
Navy Band at present, drew a ca
pacity audience to the Phillips CAL
lery yesterday afternoon. The pro-
gram, consisting of masterpieces,
such as: Handel-Halvorsen's Pas
|sacaglia" for unaccompanied violin
and viola, Chausson's '.Poeme, /"
Brahms Sonata in E fiat, op. 100,
No. 2" for viola and piano and
Mozart's 'Sinfonia Concertante, for
violin, viola and piano, provided the
variety to sustain the interest of the
listeners to the end.
Both Mr.. Micci and Mr.. Tursi
showed excellent schooling and
musicianship in the ensemble and
in individual soil, ably supported at
the piano by Mr.. Wigent. The
violinist played the lyric-dramatic
passages of the exacting 'Poeme"
with sensitive touch and a reso-
nant tone. The long cadenza in
the beginning and the virtuoso runs
throughout the work gave evidence
at all times Of a solid technical
equipment, in spite Of an occasional
unSteadiness.
Mr.. Tursi deserves special praise
for bringing out q composition SO
rarely performed, namely, one of
the two Brahms works for clarinet.
His viola seemed to form an ade-
quate substitute for the reed -instru-
ment for which it was originally
written. Dating back to the time
when the composer spent his sum-
mers in Bad Ishl, in company OF
dear friends such as Joachim and
Clara Schumann, the work belongs
to his most inspired ones. It was
Richard Mufeld, the famous clari-
netist Of the COS who served as
a powerful stimulus and fostered
Brahms deep affection for the in
strument. Although the viola has a
different tone quality from the clari-
net, nevertheless it provides a Vi
brancy which the latter does not
have. Mr.. Tursi draws velvety
tone of fine texture and his tech
nique is fluent and secure. The
audience was cordial in its appre-
citation.

HOLLYWOOD.

When an actress with family Is
called out to make a picture nova
days, she must become an expert
casting director herself. With the
household help situation the way
it is. she can't just say, "Okay, III
report tomorrow morning." Her
first responsibility is to get some
body--and not just anybody-to take
care of the kids.
This was the predicament facing
Rose Stradner few weeks ago when,
after six years absence from the
screen, she decided to accept the
role of Maria Veronica in A. j. Gro
nins THE Keys of the Kingdom" !"
With two young children at home,
Miss Stradner first. was faced with
the mighty task of casting an expert
overseer for her offspring.
Miss Stradner is a magnolia
skinned beauty who was brought to
this country by Louis B. Mayer of
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer six years ago,
along with several other high-power-
ed continental actresses. She played
one picture at M-G-M, THE Last
Gangster," with Edward G. Robin
son, then fell in love with her pro-
ducer, Joseph Mankiewicz, married
him and retired. Meanwhile, they
have been bringing up two children.
Recently, her husband went over to
goth Century Fox to make "The
Keys and some more pictures.
when star who Is married to q
producer decides to step out of her
role as wife and resume her career
as actress, she is either making a
contribution to her art or her vanity
nothing more" the very straight
forward Miss Stradner informed US
on the set yesterday.
'First of all" she continued, 'my
salary for playing Maria Veronica
puts me in a higher tax bracket.
Since have always supervised care
of my two little sons-they are 3h
and IA months-I had to replace
myself with some one so trustworthy
that I could work with a free mind.
II found child expert, an excel
lent nurse. She receives $18 per day
but she can take care of any first
aid requirements and Is experienced
in dietetics. Then I had to get a
second woman to wait on my expert,
so you see my staff was increased by
two. My husband and I sat down
and figured 1t out and after all tax
and other deductions are made,
shall have exactly $50 per week
profit left"
Miss Stradner said the role Of the
Austrian aristocrat in the Cronin
story appealed to her more than
anything she had ever read. One
night overthe dinner table she asked
her husband who he had in mind for
the part. Il don't know" replied
Mr.. NJ, "but / do know that the
casting director has you listed
among several other names"
Naturally, I was thrilled when
offered the part" Miss Stradner

Consequently, his behest that they
look over his new type of enter

their respect.
AS of this day, however, it is this
departments abrupt duty to report
that If MIR. Lake and his boutonniere
expect that respect to be MAIN
tanned, they will have to do better
than the current production "Har-
lem Follies" Under that title no
one was expecting Lena Horne,
Ethel Waters, Marian Anderson,

ably have anticipated, however,
something better than produc-
tion which looked as If it were set
up as mere target practice for the
critics.
!, Harlem Follies" turns out not
TO be a musical comedy at all, but
an unrelated series of vaudeville
acts with profound list in the
direction of burlesque. Among its
numerous principals there is an
occasional flash of talent which
wrestles to make venerable mate
rial look better than Lazarus when
he came from the tomb, but for the
most part Harlem Follies" should
have been left as problem for
Harlem's own disposal. 1t is noisy
and full of energetic tap and aero

ingless to work themselves to death
IS sometimes pathetically admir-
able.

at least one third of the population of all
neighboring countries.
SO, as soon as Germany had neighboring
country in her grasp she began systemati-
cally not only to kill off the present popula-
ton, but to weaken and thin out its people
so that the birth rate would be drastically cut
for at least full generation.
France had already been bled white by
World War l, in which she lost 2, 600 900 men.
At the start of this war, there were still
more women than men in France, and
the birth rate had declined steadily.
The Germans took pains to increase this
trend sharply. The Germans succeeded in kill
ing or seriously wounding only 475,OOO
Frenchmen in the war; they held $4,000
in prisoner r-of-war camps, thus making sure
that they would not go home and have chill
dren. Most of them, in fact, will probably
never have healthy children again; they have
been turned into physical and mental wrecks.
Another $4,000 French prisoners of war
were put to work in Germany - away from
their homes and wives. And more than
100000 French civilian workers were sent
to Germany as slave laDOrerS.
These were only the wholesale moves.
Thousands of other French men and women
were deported or thrown into concentration
camps. Some 100000 have been executed or
murdered since the French armistice.
As for the children, they have been dying
like flies, while the Germans looked on with
approval Underweight at birth, most of them
survive, if at all, with little prospect of health.
Poland has Jared even worse - probably
because its population was growing before the
war. The Germans stopped that For one
thing, they cut the food ration of Polish
children to a third of that given German
children, and managed to bring infant NOR.

But Germany has so weakened them that this
is bound to be an uphill effort. For this
reason the United Nations, in their efforts
to make another world war impossible. must
set relief organizations into motion early, to
build up the peoples on whom we must de-
pend to help us keep the peace This is simple
self-protection.
Here's What We Mast Do
WE MUST rescue the children of the occu-
pied countries so that they can be on-the-spot
guardians of tomorrow's peace. We must also
reinvigorate their elders, so that they may
carry on the normal family life which is our
insurance against German plans
We should insist too, on the return OF
stolen children to their rightful countries.
But even these measures may not be
enough. Germany has been too thorough.
Her long start will still put her ahead - if
she is allowed to keep it.
Perhaps Russia had this in mind when she
recently proposed that FIVE six or even TO-
OOO, 900 Germans be transported to Russia to
rebuild the devastated towns and cities.
This may be simple justice = the war
makers made to repair the damage they
have done. But Russia is realistic. She re-
members that scores of thousands of her
people were put to work at slave labor behind
the German lines She knows that these Rus
slams, during their years of enslavement,
naturally were prevented from building their
country's population. Perhaps Russia real
lies, too, that the millions of Germans re-
quired to repair Russia's war damage would
be kept out of Germany for five or 10 years
would be prevented from becoming the
fathers of German children, who might take
up arms against us in the future.
Germanys apparent success in her bio
political war may yet be snatched from her.
But we must act quickly or Germany will
be victorious even amid defeat. The End

ing the age of one year. Some Polish children,
however, refused to die; so the Germans SIM
ply stole the healthiest, sent them to Ger
many and proceeded to raise them as Germans.
Meantime they took steps to stop births.
On October TO- l941, German decree pro-
hibited marriages between Polish women
below the age of % and Polish men below 80;
illegitimate children born to women under %
would be educated in German institutions.
All this was in addition to the routine mass
killings, deportations and imprisonments, the
official Polish figures for which total more
than 6,OOO.OOO The normal" death rate was
pushed to fantastic high. In the town of
Boryslaw, for instance, the death rate in
creased by 700 per cent over that of 1893.
In Russia, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia,
Greece and other countries, the Germans car
ried out their bio-political warfare with the
same systematic ruthlessness. German soldiers
were urged to have children by Norwegian,
Dutch and Greek women, but not to marry
them. The children were sent to Germany.
Thus has Germany waged her bio-political
war and won, if we let it end now.
Russia Takes PTecauton
Bur Russia has no intention of letting the
German victory stand. Last July Russia
started a drive for more children - but by
tactics exactly opposite to the Nazis'. The
Russians knew that the old institutions of
marriage, family and home are the most
effective weapons for building up popula-
ton; so they frightened divorce laws to make
family life more secure. Grants were pro-
vided fos the education and rearing of chill
dren, special allowances for mothers with four
children or more, and medals honoring moth
ers of five or more. Childless couples and
bachelors have to pay special taxes.
Undoubtedly other European countries,
as they re-establish their governments, will
also try to encourage population growth

lllegitmate births by sending German girls
to labor camps, where they would have the
honor of becoming prospective mothers.
The extent to which this anti-moral propa-
ganda influenced young Germans is Illus
trated by such advertisements as these in
"Das Schwarze korps": II am soldier, %
years of age, tall, blond, blue-eyed. Before
give my life for the FuehTer and Father
land, wish to meet a German woman with
whom l can leave an heir to my German
honor" The other from girl who wishes
to become the mother of a child whose father
is fighter for National Socialism.
No Children? Get Divorce!
ALONG with the campaign for illegltimate
children. Doktor Gross pushed for more chill
dren by married couples Marriage bureaus
were set up to get young people married, and
large families were demanded. Divorce laws
were relaxed to make childlessness grounds
for divorce The Munich Medical Weekly"
reported that a physician went to Jail for
refusing to give a peasant certificate to
divorce his sick wife. The physician insisted:
"A man who deserts his spouse when she is in
need is committing an act of disloyalty to his
country" But the German court denounced
that as ''scandalous"
Whatever may be the ultimate effect of
this depravity on German civilization, 1t has
had the desired result: more children. BY
August, 1914. the Berlin radio could report
that births had reached an all-time high.
In the meantime, the Germans we're carry
