.Szigeti, Arrau Give
Second Concert
At Library
BY ALICE EyERsMAN.

The collaboration of Joseph
Szigeti, violinist, and Claudio Ar
rau, pianist, in the presentation OF
the cycle of Beethoven sonatas bids
fair to develop teamwork that will
be much talked about. At the
second concert last night, under the
patronage of the Whittall Founda-
ton, in the Library Of Congress, the
two artists showed finer ensemble
and a more thorough unity of feel
ing in their playing. Always intel
lectually outstanding, they reached
an easier projection of their analy-
sis of the sonatas that combined
warm feeling with skilled musician
ship.
In arranging the order Of presen-
tation the artists have ignored
sequence and sought variety. Last
nights program included the
Sonata in A Minor, Op. 49," that
in "E Flat Major, Op. IL, No. 81
the Sonata No. l in A Major" Of
opus 80 and the third sonata of that
opus in G major. This selection not
only disclosed Beethoven's progress
in writing in this form, but also the
less interesting works were set off
by the juxtaposition of choicer ones.
The A minor sonata OF opus %
that once was linked with the F
major, now opus "a, contains a
tinge of dryness that holds back the
spontaneity which bubbles forth so
freely in the third number of opus
IL. The latter is one of the gems
Of Beethoven's output, CHEEKY and
full of spirit. and with an exquis-
itely poetic interlude in the adagio.
The moods of the two sonatas of
opus 80 are also wide apart with
that in G major, bringing forth the
superb mastery and ingenius
thought of the composer.
The performance adhered strictly
to the effects Beethoven desired,
yet they were created without a too
evident intention, especially in the
matter of sforzandi which were
lightly tempered. Mr.. Szigeti's re-
fined and often moving tone was
used with remarkable elasticity in
coloration, while the brilliantly
sparkling quality of Mr.. Arrau's
playing was rendered more mellow
and expressive through greater re-
straint. The artists have made
pronounced strides in adjustment
to each others style, and last nights
concert reached new heights OF
musical values. A large audience
showed its reactions in the en-
thusiasm of its applause.

to desperation, eturges rescues you
with an inspired Jest which COM
pletely contradicts your sense thAt
the miracle is dragging too much, OF
getting just little to lowlife to
deserve your attention.
1t is the nature of 'The Miracle
of Morean's Creek" that to disclose
too much about it would be an act
OF dishonor. In broad outline, how
ever, it is the story of a tiny town
somewhere in the United States
Near the town is an Army camp
and virtually the only glamour
within miles is the blond daughter
of the town constable. The girl is
a miracle (not the miracle) OF
beauty and nitwittishness. The COM
pination gets her into trouble, the
kind of trouble which comes from
humping her head on a chandelier
at a USO dance and not knowing
whether that accident was followed
by marriage. She vaguely remem-
berS there was such ceremony
but has forgotten all the details
including the name of the possible
bridegroom.
That there must have been some
thing of the sort becomes terrify-
ingly clear to her in due course,
but we shall leave the rest of the
story to Sturges, if you would care
to hear it.

The talent of Paramount's bad
boy has become. familiar to many
persons since he first directed "The
Great McGinty," which he also
wrote, several years ago. 1t has
grown since then, now to a point
where even the names of his char
acters are funnier than the funny
things in most movie comedies. His
heroine's name. for instance, is Tru-
dy Kockenlocker, and the Kocken-
lockers are as funny as they sound.
Beautiful, bat-brained Trudy is the
best of the lot, but the constable
papa with. his strange power
complex is not far behind, and
there is special quality of humor
in the younger sister gifted with a
strange, adult wisdom that every one
else in the picture is lacking.
These three, played respectively
by Miss Hutton, William Demarest
and Diana Lynn, are deliriously
complemented by the crossroads
played by Bracken, a
character who could have been even
funnier if Director Sturges had been

THE Miracle of Morgan's Creek, "
to drop Sturges and start talking
about his picture, is one of the
rogueish mans strangest pictures in
more ways than the startling novelty
OF its subject. Starring Betty Hut
ton and Eddie Bracken, it accom-
plishes the rather startling feat of
being both highly amusing and
highly annoying. 1t is amusing be-
caISe Sturges, the writer has turned
OF one of the most literate of
jokes at the expense of one of the
most sacred of human experiences.
1t is annoying because Sturges, the
director, has been unable to think
up business beyond the oldest of
slapstick to give his story move
ment. There are moments when it's
noisiness penetrates your being to
the point of unbearability. There
are others when you think the
spectacle of one more Wrestle be-
tween the heroine and hero. or
between the latter and her father,
will drive you to your psychiatrist.

Smith Wins Divorce
From Lillian Bond
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MIAMI, Fla, Feb. 5.-Sydney A
Smith, wealthy New Yorker, has
been granted divorce from Lillian
Bond, former movie actress, his at
torney, Sidney L. Weintraub, said
last night. Mr.. Smith charged ex-
trenle cruelty.
Florida VS.. California as place OF
abode was one of the arguments
which disrupted their 20 months OF
married life, Mr.. Smith said in his
bill of complaint. He declared that
at his wife's request he had gone
with her to Los Angeles to live, but
that when his health began to fail
in the California climate she refused
to accompany him back to his Boca
Grande (Fla.) home.
They were married in 1885 and
separated in 1897.

yesterday.
In the last war, when Mr.. Spald-
ing served in Italy under the then
Capt. Fiorello H. La Guardia, he had
his violin with him. AS an observer
on bombing planes, there was no
time for practicing though he took
it out to play occasionally.
He's not taking his violin along
this time because there won't be
space for it and he doesn't want to
have to refuse requests for con-
certs.
AS for the career he is relinquish-
ing, the violin he will leave behind,
