Music and the Movies.

Has Apollo from his celestial
heights cast a spell over numerous
movie musicians in downtown Gin
cmnati? Or has the god of music re-
incarnated himself in manifold and
taken to playing the massive orches-
trions which now are features of the
filmed drama?
Something has happened to movie
music of late which makes the agon-
| izng age of syncopated jngles seem
| a nightmare of the long ago. The
other day we dropped into a movie at
noon to escape the heat. A plaintive
and familiar melody from the orches-
trion fell upon the ear With no little
amazcment we recognized Tschaikow-
sEy's Symphony Pathetique. The mu-
sician was apparently lost in its
beauty and under n spell. She-for
it was woman-forgot the Gathering
hoofbeats which should have accom-
panied an equestrian runaway, and
poured out the rich harmonies OF the
great Russian composer.
In another movie theater, a day or
two later we sat before a gloomy
drama of the slums. But its sordid
tale was oycrshadowed as there came
to ear the majestic march from Par
sifal." and later the motif for the
Holy Grail on still another occa-
sion. and In another theater we en-
countered Edward A. MacDowclls
exquisite Woodland Scenes" and in
turn "Lohengrin," "Pagliacci," the
Morris dances. MINIS aria from Ia
Bohemc," fragments from Grieg and
Chopin. Apollo was at work in many
thcaters and the result was in strange
Contr; st to other days when the
Whangdoodle Rag and its kin were
the order of the hour.
II would be overstepping the truth
to say that all movie music is now of
this high order But some CT II is
