The story itself is a compelling one and Garfield as Paul Boray, the vir- tuoso, is most convincing, Paul, pre- sented with a violin on his eighth birthday, studies for years with no waridiy snecass until he comes under the sponsorship of Helen Wright (Joan Crawford), a beautiful, neurotic wife of a rich man, who helps him along the way to eminence in the concert "i Tremendous conflict develops when Helen is made to realize that her patronage and love may be doing Paul more harm than good.

Enemy Had Jitters ButSoHadDuffers Ottawa--(CP)--What wuppeared to be a group of over-enthusiastic golfers cluttering up busy teletype and commercial wires between Ot- tawa, Montreal, Toronto and Wash- ington during the war years was, in actuality, a series of secret code | k messages, army headquarters dis- closed recently. At the time there were violent protests from those in charge of wire traffic, and Dr. Otto Maass, wartime chief of the army's direc- torate of Chemical Warfare and Smoke, had some difficulty in ex- plaining the peculiar actions of his apparently golf-mad staff. Now Dr. Maass has explained the golf messages as a clever code to cover a Canadian research project which finally developed the first practical and efficient method of producing RDX--the most power ful explosive yet discovered, ex- cluding atoms. Duffers will no doubt be greatly relieved to learn that some of these phenomenal sub-rar scores really weren't what they appeared to be, and now can go quite cheerfully about the task of shooting in the low 120s. 'Kinsmen Reject - Cancer Project Montreal, Aug. 23.--(CP)-- Dele- gates tq the convention of the As- eu of Kinsmen Clubs yester- day defeated a resolution which would have called on the clubs to make it a national project to raise $150,000 for the reduction: of deaths by cancer in Canada. J. W. Sutcliffe, Kenora, Ont. said "people are fed up with send- ing money away from the com- munities where our real duty lies as a service club." Founder Hal Rogers of Toronto agreed that 80 per cent of club ef- fort should be expended in the community but urged that notion- al Pity demanded a national pro- ugh Wilspn, Perth, Ont. said the gy hr oh was objectionable because it dealt with matters re- quiring co-operation of the provinc- es and it was not known whether such co-operation would be forth- _ coming. NW Saves Seven But Can't Swim Halifax--(CP)--Rescuing seven persons from drowning in one sea- son is scmething of a record for Gerald Doyle, caretaker of the Jubilee Boat Club, especially be- cause he can't swim. Doyle expressed a bit of fatalism after his seventh rescue this sum- mer. "One of these days," he said, "I'm going to fall into the water, and with me swiniming like a stone it won't be long before someone else is doing the rescue work around here." to | of the young BILTMORE NEW TECHNIGOLOR "LASSIE" HIT HERE MONDAY ON SAME BILL WITH GRAND MUSICAL A collie almost runs away with the Honore in "Courage of Tassie the pho- BILTMORE--Elizabeth Taylor appears above with the screen's wonder dog "Lassie" in a scene from the new Tehcnicolor hit "Courage of Tagen coming to the Biltmore Theatre on Monday for a two-day engagement.
