BY BERYL RUBINSTEIN
American Pianist and Composer

A sentimental ditty about the
moon and love; tender little rhyme
about mother being the best pal OF
alla-such was the substance of what
twenty years ago, was called "popu.
lar music" Goggerel verse purport-
ing to be. humorous to the accompani.
ment Of syncOpated rhythm was the
flower Of ragtime. F
Then, somewhere, somehow, some.
one played clarinet out of tune
falsetto. The result was jazz. The
only difference between ragtime and
jazz is instrumental color. A piece
of jazz, written today, and q piece Of
ragtime, written ten years ago, play
ed upon the piano show no differ
cnce. Play piece of ragtimc
though, written ten years ago, with
an orchestra composed of sax0.
phone, muted trumpet and mutcd
trombone, q mandolin and traps, and
you have jazz.
Mary Articles Written
There have been many articles,
profound as to intention, written on
the subject of jazz during the past
few years. Jazz composers, reading
them, must feel themselves import
ant-apostles of new art, and are
encouraged, perhaps, to sit down to
write new numbers, like "Girlie,
your hair is so curly"
Their labors are attractive be-
cause their product is amusing.
Some Of the jazz orchestral effects
are charming. Jazz serves to dis
tract hundreds Of thousands of peo-
pie. Incidentally it pours money
into the pockets Of the fortunate one
who hits upon q catchy tune. Be-
yond that, I question it's value. Yet
it fulfills certain destiny, and
therefore, needs no other defense or
justification.

further, however, with the. explana-
ton, one will find oneself in maze
Of speculation for which there is very
little logical solution.
To the artist an innovation in
form is just as radical a departure
as new harmony. A composer can
use Mozartian harmonics in a newly
discovered form. His music will be

|ONLY ONE H0MELY
 GIRL IN MOVIES
And None Has SO-Called 'PianO

Hollywood, Cal. Sept. (Pj - There is but ono homely girl in Hol- lywood. and not even that many who have what are technically known as piano legs.
 That, at least. is the way it looks to the central casting bureau through which motion picture stu dios hire their men, women and children extras.
 Miss Marian Mel. head of the women's department of the bureau. says she knows of only one girl among the thousands on the extra list who admits she is home ly and seeks film employment on that basis. There are plenty of middle-aged and elderly women who admit it, some of these even consenting to seek work under the cruel classification of "hags." But there Is no rush Of homely girls to Hollywood
 Some girls classify themselves as eccentric" and are willing enough to admit they can make themselves Up to look homely. But any casting director who told them they were naturally homcly would learn there are some insults no girl will en- dure for the sake of a job in the movies
 And as for piano legs! One cast ing director made himself a lot of grief and several temporary ene- mics by trying to fill, frankly and without stratagem, a call for one girl with typical pair of piano legs. Not one girl was listed as pos
