CONTINUE STRIKE

HOLLYWOOD, March %. -(P-
Thousands Of film studio workers
continued with their jurisdictiona
walkout tday despite an explicit
National War Labor Board order
directing them to resume work,
"We're just striking as usual,
said Herbert K. Sorrell, president
Of the conference of studio unions
which claims that $4,000 workers
are idle and will remain SO until
4 "clean-cut victory" is won.
Sorren said the unions he heads
will continue to stand pat and that
the next move is UP to the War
Labor Board.
When the WLB wired Sorrell di-
recting that the strike be terminal
ed Immediately, he replied that
film producers were defying the
authority Of the WLB. Ne added
that the producers apparently had
asked the WLB to order the work
ers back to work but that the pro-
ducers had no right to do this.
The walkout resulted from a
dispute over jurisdictional claims
regarding IT set decorators, with
the conference Of studio unions
on one side and the International
Alliance of Theatrical Stage EN-
ployes on the other.

BY ALICE EVERSMAN.

The double bill of "Cavalleria
Rusticana" and "Pagliacci" was the
Washington Grand Opera Com
pany's choice for its second presen-
tation of this season in Constitu-
ton Hall last night. The former
scored a tremendous success by
reason of the good singing and
skilled acting of the principals and
the general smoothness of the en-
semble, and lin "Pagliacci," Giovanni
Martinelli received the usual ovation
after the aria of the first act.
The very finished performance of
Doris Doree as Santuzza in "Caval-
leria Rusticana" places her in the
foremost rank of interpreters of this
role, the possibilities of which have
been sadly overlooked by the ma
Jority of singers. Hers was genuine
portrayal in (which the rather I'M
sophisticated nature of Santuzza
was stressed by the simplicity of her
acting, her facial expression and the
restraint she exercised in dramatic
moments, She did not suffer con-
tinuously Nom the time of her en-
trance or throw herself about in
excessive anguish in the duet with
Turiddu. It was logical sketch
with an ebb and flow of emotion all
the more forceful through its ex-
cellent timing
Her voice is of lovely, rich quality
with an absence of stridency even in
the high. tones. The aria, "Voi 10
sapete," was sung in the perfectly
natural manner of telling a story
and the entire scene with Lydia Ed
wards, in her outstanding portrayal
of Mamma Lucia, was of high
order. The many points she brought |
out in the following scenes showed
careful thought toward the reason
ableness of what was transpiring
and in this respect alone she is in
deed different among the interpre-
tiers of the role.
The polished acting of Mario
Palermo completed Miss Doree's
delineating in every detail, and he
also had the right measure of dra-
matte effect throughout. Although
not in the best of voice, his singing /
of the "Siciliana" showed its ring
ing quality to fine advantage and
the farewell to his mother was
moving climax in its intensity. Geor-

and bleat like a schoolgirl asking
a handsome professor why he
couldn't see she was languishing
for him.
So Daphne went TO Red Cross
where she spent most of the day.
Later she went shopping for such
important things as two-cent
stamps, and a packet of needles
and a bottle of iodine, and then,
unable to stay away moment
longer, drove home swiftly and
walked into her house as the'clock
struck six. Something delicious was
cooking, but il was not chill sauce.

planned. Il couldn't find the jars in
the cellar
Why didn't you ask Steve about

sounded perfectly natural. Hes
probably pat them away some

and winds never going to stop.

Yes, the wind was up again,
moaning around the house. And the
shutter began its insistent banging
again.
After dinner, Daphne went into
the living-room and picked up a
book, and was fifty pages into it,
without remembering a word she'd
read, when she heard a new sound
through the racket of the storm.
1t was q faint hammering some
where in back of the house.
A slow smile spread over
Daphne's face. She listened, put
down her book. went into the hall,
and donned her raincoat. She
stopped long enough to get a fash
light, then went out onto the back
porch, opening the door softly.
Daphne clicked the light, aiming
it at the window to the left Of the
porch.

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Daphne felt very confident a she
fingered over her breakfast and her
thoughts, and then she remembered
Mrs. Gates. She was TO call for her
at eleven.
Steve usually came about l pm.
She must be very careful now. IL
wouldn't do at all to have the village
know that Mrs. Daphne Willoughby
Abruzzi was counting her gardener.
The fact that her intentions couldn't
have been more honorable wouldn't
help at all.
Daphne got into a lemon-colorcd
wool frock, tied a bandana over her
hair and put on her rain coat. Be
fore she went downstairs, she car
ried a bowl Of bright-hued zinLias
from her own room into the west
bedroom. She stopped downstairs
long enough to light a fire. Every
thing must look nice and CHEEKY for
Mrs. Gates. Everything mus, be as
nice for everyone else as it was for
Daphne herself. She would like to
have stood on the steps of the City
Hall and tossed gold pieces about.
If Daphne had a qualm about any
one that morning, she would have
been uneasy about Mrs. Amelia
Gates, and if there weren't canaries
singing their heads Off in her heart,
1t would have been heavy.
The days of her privacy were
over.
But Mrs. Gates, Daphne decided
during their brief ride from the
Holly's home, was going to be all
right. She was Scotch, friendly,
not loquacious. She was neither
tlresomely grateful over what
Daphne had done, nor sentimental
over her son. She launched into no
condolences when Daphne came upon
her unpacking her small trunk and
setting up her gallery of family
photographs.
She said directly, "Thc green
tomatoes in the kitchen ought to be
put up at once. III get at them
this afternoon. Soon's | get my
things put away III see what's
needed"
Daphne stood in the doorway.
There's a box Of mason jars in
the cellar"
Mrs. Gates tied on a large white
apron. I'D best get them now.
They'll need to be scalded."
cts a heavy box, Mrs. Gates.
You couldn't carry it up, but Steve
-. that's my man"-Daphne swal-
lowed hard-"that is, the man who
helps around here, He'll be here
soon. You ask him to bring up the
box. And anything else you want
done. I'm sure he'll be glad"
Daphne felt as if she were smother
ing. Then she left, saying, You'll
find things for your lunch. I'll be
out the rest Of the day"
1t was better to go to Red Cross
much better than going hot and
cold because Steve was around, and
making an idiot Of herself when
she'd tell him she had something
to say to him. She had plenty to
say, but she wouldn't say il.
Daphne feared she would babble
