Little known fugueS by earlier Russian masters will be followed by three modern SonataS by Prokoflef and Shostakovich.
 Presentation of the latter" the artist explained, 'is to afford con- parison in the modern transforma- tions of the classical form. Further more, the two Soviet SOnatas were composed during one of the most menacing and heroic periods of the Soviet struggle against the invaders. They possess some things in com mon, even though their styles are widely divergent"

STRAND

Wartime military secrets. partic- rl&rly those of the enemy, figured extensively in reproducing the Ger man U-boat called for in the script of Columbias film, "U-boat Pris- oner."
 Director Lew Landers and Perry Smith, production art director, went into a huddle with the research de- pertinent. Even in peace time their task would prove difficult. but after wading through stacks of sub pie lures. they finally came up, so to speak, with few O. the German variety, most of which were of old vintage. A few, however, depicted fairly late models. With these as a nucleus, Smith went to work and created the set used in "U-boat Pris- oner," currently playing at the Strand theater with Bruce Bennett and Erik Rolf.
 The companion feature is "One Mysterious Night" starring Chester Morris aS Boston Blackie.'

Mr.. Craig Pottinger,
Nogales, Arizona.
My dear Mr.. Pottinger:
Sorry I didn't have time to say
goodbye" prior to reporting for
duty here at Fort Bliss. I was really
rushed that day, although I did
want so much to see you and give
you my new address so that you can
forward my copy of The Interna-
tional to Ft. Bliss. I have not re-
ceived my copies for the first three
weeks of July. Hope you can send
them to me.
Well, I'm stationed at the 1926
Service Command Unit, War De-
partment Personnel Center. I'm
stationed in the headquarters of the
Induction Station, separation cen
ter, reception center and reception
station, as well as the Special Train
ing Unit, all a part of the personnel
center. My job is with the Officer s
Division, a different job than I was
doing overseas.
It has been rather hot out in
these wide open spaces" We've
had only three days Of rain since
I've been here. OF course, we work
in an air-conditioned building, but
that doesn't help once we step out
of it.
You can't imagine how much I en-
joyed my stay in good old Nogales
and being able to shake hands with
you. It was nice seeing Craig too
and having the pleasure of meeting
Mrs. Pottinger Wish 1 could be
there now.
I met the Mariachis here in Ell
Paso last week. They were making
a tour of Biggs Field and Ft. Bliss,
and then I believe, will shove off
for the Pacific. Can't say how much
T miss them. How can I when I
used to live at the Mercado, prac-
tically, listening to their music.
Boy, those were really nights to re-
member!
Well, guess this will be all for
now. Say "hello" to Craig for me
when you write him and also to
Earl Heard he is in the Navy now.
With kindest regards to you and
Mrs. Pottnger, I am,
Yours truly,
