THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €, WED ESDAY, MARCH 27, 1935. B—9 SCHUMANNAEK INDRAVATIC ROLE Noted Opera Singer Wil Appear With June Meredith and Don Ameche. "FTER a career of more than 56 years on the most famous A opera and concert stages of the world, Mme. Ernestine Schumann - Heink, renowned eontralto, will make her debut as & dramatic actress when she is co- starred with June Meredith and Don Ameche in the “First Nighter” pro- gram Friday over an N. B. C. network. This first straight dramatic role may open still another career for the wom- an who came out of retirement last year at the age of 72 to appear before the microphone as a singer. An orig- inal play is being written espectally for Mme. Schumann-Heink's appear~ ance on the “PFirst Nighter” program | with June and Don, who are young enough to be her grandchildren. The | diva herself declares she is lookinz‘l forward eagerly to her first dramatic appearance. * Ok kX DESCRIPTION of the St. Bernard passes in Switzerland and & broadcast from the ancient hos- pice in the Alps will be relayed across the Atlantic to N. B. C. network lis- teners within a few weeks, according to arrangements made by Max Jordan, N. B. C. director for continental Europe. The broadcast will be the first from the Hospice of the Great St. Bernard, and will bring a picture of one of Europe’s most historic spots. ‘The hospice on the pass was found- ed, or perhaps refounded, by St. Ber- nard of Menthon, and since the twelfth century has been in charge of & community of Austin canons. In the early days the servants of the canons and their famous dogs saved many lives. Napoleon led his army over the pass in 1800. At that time the road was a mere bridle pass, MUTT AND JEFF— How Do You EXPECT E PEOPLE TO SLEEPWITH | CONTINUOUS PLAYING, THAT RACKET GOING | BY SATURDAY You'Ll : Only One More Day to Go and Making the Most of It!

And then I may leave the Valley of the Dead—I may sail over the sea—I may go again to Old Spain! “When I was a boy I was a shep- berd in old Castile. The land of castles! You understand what I say? People make the shepherds sing songs. the Kid panions was cursing. now it boasts two motor roads. Since the time of the Romans the | St. Bernard Passes have played an important part in the wars of Europe. | ‘The greater pass is between Martigny, Switzerland, and Aosta, Italy. | * &k % L JOLSON wires from New York that Max Baer, heavyweight champion, and his brother Buddy will be guest stars on his new “Cha- teau Show,” which starts April 6. | Both will play in a comedy sketch and | Max Baer will sing with Victor Young's Orchestra. there was something above us!” He pointed upward. Heaven? won- dered the Kid. The old man continued: “There was | always the castle on its rock. The trail wound up to it. was empty, and still we were all serfs. And as I walked with my sheep I used to look up and up, and I saw the castle and told myself that I would one day come to have a mil- lion pesos, and then I would buy that castle. “You think. my friend, that these | years in the Valley of the Dead have “All of this | But all that I heard from my com- | But always | But the castle | UMIICS BY _EVAN EVANS been a torment. But in the hot Sum- mer day I think of the castle hold- ing its head among the blowing clouds. | And in the Winter I think of how my | hall will be in Spain, and the great | fire of logs burning on the hearth.” He actually extended his hands be- fore him and rubbed them together as though at this moment a Winter chill struck through him with the memory. And Montana said, bluntly, “Will |you have long with your castle?” | “Ah” grinned Juan-8Silva, “you | look at the body and you see that it is like old leather, ready to crack {apart with a little bending. But the | place to look is In the eyes of a man. Men have lived 20 years past 100. Considering them, I still have a third of my years to spend, and they shall be spent in my Spain, in my valley, in my castle on the rock.” In the strange company of Juan- Silva the days might have gone swiftly enough for the Kid, but be- hind his mind there was the con-| stant anxiety about Rubriz, about the | friar. When he felt that he had gained |some foothold in the thought of the |old man, he spoke to him one day | when they were in Juan-Silva’s car- riage. He “took the Kid with him every | day for a drive of inspection; and at | last Montana said: “Senor, there are | two riends of mine in the valley. Be kind and let me see them.” “The friar?” said Juan-Silva. “He's one.” “My lad, think of the good he is He gave his hoarse, croaking laugh. And the Kid, looking down at his gripped hands, flercely restrained the impulse to throttle the old fiend at once. “But then you have a second friend, El Keed?"” “Rubriz.” “Ha! Rubriz! But ask me for something I can give! The friar is a jewel to the other poor devils, and Rubriz is & jewel to mel” “Well,” sald the Kid, slowly, “I don’t ask you to set him free, I ask to see him, only.” “To see him? you mean?” “Yes.” “Ah, my son” sald Juan-Silva, “why do you make me say no to you 80 often when I have nothing in my heart but a sense of kindness and even of gratitude to you? This much I know—that not while I live will a man escape alive from the valley. But perhaps—three men together are a great strength—perhaps you and | your friends might work the miracle, | They might pass the guard at the | gate of the valley. They might pass even beyond the reach of those.” Here he paused, and pointed toward | the wall of the valley. Along that To talk with him, | wall three Indians were trotting their | | ponies. They looked clumsy, un- wieldly, but the Kid knew that, once roused to action, man and horse would become as one savage beast to pursue an enemy. And behind that trio the dust rose from the hooves of another set of three, and behind them still another appeared. The Kid closed his eyes. And he began to think. not for the first time, drive. There were sweat stains on the four, moreover, and a servant was now tubbing down the spokes of the wheels. When he spoke to the mozo who held the heads of the leaders, the man said with & grin: “Great people have come—generals and great people!” Old Maria still showed the way until she had opened the door into the main room of the house. The Kid, as he entered, was gripped by guards who waited on either side of the doorway. Then he saw before him the cause. For in the middle of the room, at a table with Juan-Silva, were the lean, yellow-green face of Jack Lascar, peak-faced Maj.

Only old Maria remained to serve the guests, who already had before them little glasses of that fine, green-tasting fire, tequila. It seemed to the Kid that he was advancing into an ethereal region, an atmosphere of pure hate. They were all smiiing at him—Lascar and the governor, and the major and Juan- Silva. Jack Lascar rose from his place and bowed to him stiffy. “Your pleasure, Montana,” he said, “ain’t half as great as mine.” “You're sitting in at = big game, Jack,” answered Montana. “If you've got the cards, d’you think that you've got the stakes?” “We're three with one thought, partner,” said Lascar. “That thought is about you!” “8it down, my son,” sald Juan- Silva. The Kid took & place at the end of the table, and old Maria poured {out & glass of tequila for him. “You, my general” said the old man, “should “be the first onme to speak.” —By BUD FISHER WON'T PLAY (T THAT LanG!
