HOLLYWOOD REVUE CAPITOL FEATURE
25 Stars in All Talking, Singing,
 Dancing Film

Jazz is the rhythm of the era put to music and is constantly improv- ing. according to Arthur Langc, mu- sical director of the Hollywood Revue" Mctro-GoldWyn Mayors huge all musical and talking spec tacle, coming today to the Capitol theatcr for four days. Lange is q noted musical arrangcr. the author of 100 songs of his own and the i musical arrangements for some G.Q00 others.
 Jazz and it's improvement or the i development of our American idion i depends entirely upon the thorough ! ly schooled musician. As yet o'r ] natural CNubcranCC is such that few ! Of our melody writers take the time i 10 study music. In Europe an a. 1 ranger would be called I compose" 1 because he does the actual writing ! of the music brought 10 him by the mclodist.
 "m what form docs q song reach ! you?" he was asked,
 Some song writers can play th" piano and can present their tunes in 1 that way. but many of them whistle the tune for me- he replied, adding:
 Jazz takes the credit for mm- bcr Of peculiar harmonios which really existed long before tho jazz cra The DeRussy and Wagncrian schools arc very prominent in jaGI, Jazz really is q hash, or better. a melting pot of all tho schools of music, including the oriental, the combination of them making it all original outstanding thing. The American school of jazz music really would be an impossibility without the foreign schools that
 have preceded il. But it is, ncvcr- thcloss, genuinely national. Climatic conditions seem to have something
 to do with music. The music Of the southern countries and of the south
 in our own country has a languil,
 slow beat. Tho northern races have
 q faster beat, as for example the
 Irish jiss.
 "One would thing that our nG-
 tional music would express our
 tremendous eXpanse of country, oI:
 mountains. lakes and prairies, bu;
 it doesn't. Modern jazz is city born
 and seems to express the rhythm oi
 the cities of progress. We can; , credit it to any one person becauS" strangely enough. through the Smithsonian Institution, We fine
 that it was the property of the In : dians. who syncopGted with five oi
 six drums. Our American jazz idioG
 is far ahead of Europe's and w; remain ahead. It will improve, b0 , only at the hands Of the trained mU ' sician.'

Variety is the spice of life, ac- rording 10 general accepted stage adage and with this thought in mind the management of Broad way Scandals which is slated to open a weeks engagement at the Grand theater in Hartford Monday promises something of very lively and original nature. This Mutual Burlesque attraction has smashed all box office records in it's merry way around the circuit and during a telephone conversation with the management at the Springfield house where the show played prior to it's opening in Hartford, the local
 management learned that the cy- iraNaganza is considered even bet Ter from an entertainment stand polnt than Girls from the Follics" easily the most popular show to have played Hartford this season. The piece is offered in 3o gorgeous scenes and brings a wide variety of accomplished entertainers to tho stage.

His antics have long won him an en- Nlable place in the heart of thcatcr- goers all over the country.
