Of the work is closely woven and

The Washington Community

the horid "I will sing unto the

that the very enthusiasm of the
singers marred the drama of
some portions but this was a
minor point.
The difficult tenor solo, "The

Evelyn White was warmly ap-

News Of Music

HandepS "Israel in Egypt" is

When they write an epitaph

to take the part because it was

"unsympathetic."
So, naturally, La Davis &C

make a successful comeback

OFF to Broadway
Then, with characteristic
ego, Bette turned her attention
to the Broadway stage, which
she hasn't been. near-except
as a paying customer-for 20
years.
Nearly every one scoffed at
the movie actress who thought
that she could make a sudden

The first week of February,
1858, will go down in movie
history as the occasion of the
great third dimension explo-
sion.
The new era, limited in the
late auturnn's excitement over
Cinerama and later over Nat

ognized everywhere for what 1t
was-a bright promise in the
industry's long, gloomy twi-

of, or talked of, anything else.

A New Confusion
The old confusion gave way

difference that where it seemed
so recently to have no alterna-
tive to despair, there were
suddenly too many alternatives.
There is something to be said
for the horns of a new diem
ma and every one in Hollywood
and New York said it in a tone
and a volume of words that
became almost a babble.
Among the developments
were:
The decision of Goth Gen.
tury-Fox studio, one Of the big
three, to completely regear its
entire program to Cinema
scope, a process unlike either
Cinerama or Natural Vision,
but third dimensional never

More cautiously, Metro

intention to produce two or
three pictures by the same
Cinemascope process-under a
licensing arrangement with

Certain amendments to the Unit
ed States Constitution proposed by
Senator Bricker SIR. u seek to
limit the treaty-making power vest
ed in the President and Senate and
to limit the executive-agreement
power of the President. The funda-
mental moral principle involved
is that of public faith necessary
to the conduct of all national and
international relations. The pro-
posed amendments would seriously
undermine public faith in actions
of the United States government
Nothing is more necessary to the
achievement of peaceful, fruitful
relations among men and nations
than good faith. Good faith among
civilized nations means that pledg-
es given or received can be trust
ed.
The stated purposes of such
amendments are primarily ul TO
prevent the powers delegated by
the United States Constitution 10
the Federal Government from be-
ing cUrfailed by or transferred to
any international or supernatural
authority, ~ TO prevent the pow
ers reserved by that Constitution
to the States from being similarly

However prsiseworthy may be

nevertheless, the adoption of any
such amendments would prejudice
