The latest Rex Ingram screen
drama, "Scaramouche." had it's first
worlds showing under the auspices of
the Metro producers at the Belasco

Rafael Sabatini is the author of the
novel. "Scaramouche," from which
Rex ingram drew his plot, characters
and inspiration. The word "seara-

sort of unlucky and unhappy clown
of old-time pantomime. He had q
ready tongue and smile, dressed
crafty, and often made his exit in a
tumble that set the company roaring.
This particular Scaramouche Is diff
ferent, starting as a country attor-
ney, who quarrels with the govern
ment and joins a. strolling band of
players-hence the strange name
and steps into fame as master
swordsman, political genius and ro-
mantle adventurer. Ramon Navarro.
Alice Terry and Lewis Stone head the

Classics and Jazz.

DAUL SPECHT, whose Sympho-
Syncopated Orchestra is on tour,
is said to have found the key to
combination of the classics and jazz.
He was. formerly a member of the
American Guild of Violinists. and
made concert tours. Then he delved
into the mysteries of jazz. and de-
cided to combine the beauties of the
classics with the insouciant rhythms
of jazz, thus mixing in curious way
the two forms, seemingly miles apart.
His first attempts resulted in hy-
brid form, not without certain crudi-
ties Of style, but he kept on with his
experiments, and has perfected this
new form Of musical EXPRESSION.
