great over the radio I catch myself artlsts bawling right out loud" September l of 1939 Was a dark day for Kirk "It's broke loose again" he said to Argeline when the report of Hitler 's invasfon of Poland care over the air It won't stop there" he went on and there was that in his voice that revealed grave apprehension The year that followed as small nations one by cIte came under the Iron heel of Adolf Hitler and his henchmen conquerors added confirmation to the fears of both Kirk and And when in 1940 the Angeline conscription law was passed by the congress of the United States they began steeling themselves for what both felt sure would come Home for Christmas holidays Hal was' again filled with enthusiasm with his vocal music "You must by all means arrange your affairs so you both can come up for the opera this year" he insisted- "I'll not be content row till I've made grand opera: then you'll have things better I'll pay you for some of the rnany sacrifices you've been making
