catastrophe of another war.
With Robert Young, Sylvia Sidney
and Ann Richards as its principal
players, 1.-THE Searching Wind" is a
picture to see. At least, it is for
those who can spare few minutes
for an honest look at the selfishness
and indifference which lead TO wars
Miss Hellman, whose highly
charged typewriter gave movie audi
ences Dead End" some years ago,
is in an angry mood as usual. Pro-
ducer Hal Wallis, Director William
Dieterle and the cast of THE
Searching Wind" are in full agree
ment that anger is wholesome
thing for Miss Hellman to feel. In
taking her up on it, they have i'm
proved upon the stage version OF
the drama. That is another thing
which happens infrequently.
The indignant things Miss He'll
man has to say about human inertia
in outlawing war are uttered in nice
accents against handsome back
grounds. Hollywood's warmest ro-
mances have had no more luxurious
settings or lovelier heroines. AS
mere love story, then, the Capitol's
picture has something to commend
it to patrons who refuse to be both
cred with anything else.
"The Searching Wind" starts and
ends up in Washington. It's prin-
cipals are part-time residents of the
Nations Capital, limitations of our
best people.
Young, as the hero, is top-rung
official in the State Department. He
started in it after the last war, re-
manned there in steadily more i'm
portant posts through the latest one.
AS the picture opens, his life is mess.
His wounded sen, back from this
war, looks upon the diplomat as sons
should not look-doubtfully upon
their sires. The diplomat himself is
inclined to agree the boy is right.
The other complication in the con-
science stricken ambassadors life is
the other woman whom he has just
acknowledged to his wife as the one
love he ever felt and the one he now
wants to enjoy.
This grim situation, the sort Miss
Hellman writes easily out of fury
with the species, is set forth in the
screenplay's prologue. The subse-
quent f1ashback explains how the
situation came to be. AS review
of a diplomats career, it covers
most of Europe between the wars.
1t also takes an intimate look at
the sort of life which may come as
a surprise to those who think diplo-
mats were born to become marble
buStS.
Miss Hellman's women, played by
the Misses Sidney and Richards,
contribute dramatically to the au-
thor's review of recent, violent his
tory. The former plays somewhat
conventional type of contemporary
female, the woman columnist. AS
usual, she is the "other woman"
dark, intense and professionally dis
illusioned enough with diplomats to
pique the fancy of the one played
by Young. Much of the incident Of

Vivien Harvey Makes Debut
Into Front Rank of Pianists
By Elena de Soyn

Vivien Harvey, among the young
est and the best piano-virtuosi
heard in the National Gallery of
Art, made her Washington debut
last night, playing program which
would have taxed the endurance
of a more seasoned artist. Had her
appearance been limited only to
performance of Arthur Shepherds
Sonata No. in F Minor" it would
have been sufficient to place her
into the category of chosen few.
Her giving, however, an entire pro-
gram of dissimilar works, repre-
sentative of different styles and
periods, enhanced considerably the
appreciation of her powers.
1t is not Miss Harvey's velocity
and sparkle alone that delights
the ear but rather the reflection
of cultured understanding of the
essentials which 60 into the making
of music. There is also a JOY and
healthy exuberance in her playing
which seem as natural as her gra-
ciouS and unaffected bearing on the
stage. 1t is evident that the young
pianist was blessed in more than
one way, that hand in hand with
the complicated mechanism of the
modern technique, her all-round
development has been properly
nurtured, and, as accomplishment
in the field of music has never been
measured by years but by results,
Miss Harvey's youth is not a him
drance but valuable asset.
There were six composers on the
program which began with Sonata
B Flat Major" and Sonata D Minor"
by the Italian Cimarose, famous
for his wit and lovable personality,
and Sonata in D Major, K 576"
by the Austrian Mozart, who for
over a century has served as a
great beacon-light universally. The
classic form of the compositions
did not prevent Miss Harvey from
lending a personal touch to the
lines. Debussys Fireworks" Eve
ming in~Granada" and Joyous Isle"
were notable for the liquidity of
the passage work and ightness of
touch. although lacking, somewhat.
in fantasy and greater expressive
ness.
The difficulties. technically and
interpretatively, of the modernistic
sonata by Shepherd, in its first local
performance, were mastered by Miss
Harvey with an admira BILE verve and
power. Its varied moods climaxed by
a rhythmically vigorous "Toccata,"
were rich in dynamic naunce and
pliability. However, the browning
point of the evening for the pleas
ure it afforded, was her performance
of Schumanns "Toccata in c Ma
jor. op. 40" with its scintillating
harmonies, and two selections by
Chopin, "Nocturne F Sharp, op IS,
No. 2" and "Fantasie F Minor, op.
40" the last on the program. 1t is
not often that one finds a young
girl so well stepped in the spirit of
the Polish master and his style, and
credit for this can be given I'M
doubtedly to her teacher, SEVERN
Eisenberger, native of Poland.

Of being the page boy employed for
the longest time at the Capitol.
For five years he has answered
telephones, run errands and carried
messages for the members of the
House. After graduation from East

study law at George Washington
University. This would mean study
ing in the morning and evening, and
continuing his work as page boy in

For four years, Ralph attended
the Capitol Page School, but he
transferred to Eastern to finish his
education. Now he leaves at noon to
work, and his work continues until
the House adjourns. He recalls the
time he was photogra phed with Mrs.
Roosevelt at the White House

Poor people are not what we want

THE present-day farmer realizes
not only that he should conserve
the soil to support himself through
out his lifetime but also that he
has a responsibility to posterity
He knows it is poor economy to
exploit the soil for a short period
only to find that the temporary
prosperity has resulted In loss OF

A star of even greater size is
Antares. 1t is believed to have 8
diameter of 100000 900 miles and is
the largest known star. The diam
eter of the sun is 864,0OO miles
