Although Hollywood has made pictures giving one or another of this thrilling group giving solo performances, never pefore in the history of motion, pictures have so many appeared in the same one. This makes musfcal film history that should be remembered for many a year, especially since all these stars give full-time perform- ances instead of playing walk-on or it roles. They sing and play a repertoire that includes the music of Tschaikowsky, Rachmaninott, Beethoven, Schumann, Delibes, Bi- zet, Saint Saens, Mozart and De Falla. Exponents of modern swing also appear in stellar parts, play- ing the music which indelibly has classified them tops in their re- spective fields. MARSHALL PLAN NATIONS GIVEN WARNING,REPORT WASHINGTON, Nov. 16—#— Presidént Truman has sent to Congress a Marshall Plan report declaring that Europe must lower its'prices to compete in the United States market for the American .onsumer’s dollar. “The United States, of course, must be willing to accept greater competition from European sup- pliers in order to help. Europe pay its way,” said the study prepared by the Economic Cooperation Ad- ministration. Even if European sales in the United States were doubled—thus restoring Europe’s pre-war share of this market—the volume would represent less than one percent of this country’s total output an® would “only be scratching the sur- face of the American market,” Congress was told. .
