The Source
of Music
Is Found
Or. Ribera Makes Public
Facts on His Big
Discovery.

THAT much Of our modern music
L. is derived through Spain from
ancient Arabic melodies is the
discovery of DR.. Julian Ribera, of
the University of Madrid, whose
Music in Ancient Arabia and
Spain" will be published by Stan
ford university Press in an English
translation done by Eleanor Hague
and Marion Lefingwell.
The study leading to this dis
covery, which fills in a blank chap
ter in musical history, was based on
the "Cantigas" of Alfonso the Wise.
These medieval manuscripts, sup
posed to be church music, had never
been deciphered until Dr. Ribera
identified them as secular melodies,
Moorish in origin.
These he says, are the originals
of practically all Of the types now
considered indigenous to the differ
ent regions of Spain. From Spain
this music spread over all medieval
Europe without it's origin being
known.
There it still lives because the
people have loved it and adopted it."
DR.. Ribera declares. Europe still,
therefore, owes a debt Of gratitude
to the Andalusion Moors, who main
tanned and passed on a rich fund
of music, a perennial Kpring to
which all European composers have
come to renew their inspiration, but
without seeking its unknown
sources"
This Moslem music was surpris-
ingly rich and highly developed,
DR.. Ribera found. In spite Of its
age and simplicity, it may be heard
with real pleasure and emtion if
performed as it must have been in
its own day. The 'Cantigas' show
that harmony, the major and minor
modes, meditation and other ele-
ments supposed to belong only to
modern European music, appeared
in the thirteenth century in Spain
with indications that they come
from still older civilizations.

THE DIRECTOR
WANTED REALISM

Corks may continue to pop in
talking pictures in the wrong key
the government viii do nothing
about it.
A recent request by the United
Artists studio for permission to pur-
chase two cases Of champagne so
that the exploding corks might
sound right in The Locked Door,
which will start at the Palace on
Saturday, was CURLY denied by Com
missioner Doran of Washington.
1.-THE law does not authorize
granting such permisson," wired the
commissioner. He added that he
could appreciate fully the purpose
and sincerity Of the request.
The demand was made by the stu
6io in the name Of realism, and "be-
cause cider, use effectively in silent
pictures, furnished insufficient i'm
etus to pop a cork in the real cham
payne manner" George FitZmau-
rice. director Of '"The Locked Door
explained that talking pictures, if
bllty al I W SUl NIFt- iiilIop iJG d. IGttl-
istic as the silent pictures we're. He
decried the governments action.
Only the real article, he said,
would give the proper tonal quality
and meditation he required, AS a
result of the governments action,
the studio was forced to conduct a
serious experiment with varied
bottled liquids to determine which
was best suited for talking picture
purposes. Aerated cider was finally
awarded the certificate of merit.
A report of the findings were sent
to the Bureau of Standards for pur-
poses of filing in the archives of
that department.
The cork popping sounds as re-
produced in the picture, however,
are real enough. Rod La ROGUE,
Barbara Stanwyck, William Boyd,
William Boyd, Betty Bronson and
Zasu Pitts and Mack Swain are the
principals in 1.-THE Locked Door"
which is a slice of modern life. with
"whoopee' boats, police raids and a
spectacular shooting as back

Included on the same bill will be
the latest Charley Chase all-talk-
ing comedy, stepping Out; the
Hearst Metrotone News. known as
the worlds talking newspaper, and
other short subjects.

as the cast of the former play re-

For five weeks in Chicago these

Gillette
Continues
His Run
Famous Actor Agrees to
Remain in sherlock
Holiness

A . L. ERLANGER and George
L n c. Tyler announce that by
sacrificing the performances sched-
uled for Philadelphia, the New
York engagement of William Gil
lette in Sherlock Holmes" origi-
nally intended to close tonight. will
be extended for q period of three
weeks from that date. and that Mr.
Gillette's final performance in New
York will positively take place Sat-
wday evening, Jan. 4
The decision to extend the en-
gagement at the New Amsterdam
theaters came as a result of capacity
audiences, and the overwhelmingly
popular demand for seats.
Under the arrangement between
the actor and the producers, Mr..
Gillette plays only seven perform
ances a week, including one matinee
on Saturdays, with the option of
matinee on holidays, if desirable.
Seven performances week in
an engagement limited to three
weeks have proved utterly made
quate to the demand, many of the
performances having been sold OUT
well in advance and hundreds of
patrons turned away who could not
be satisfied with standing room.
Rather than increase the number
of matinees, a measure that only
partially met the situation, Messrs.
Erlanger and Tyler obtained the
actors consent to sacrifice his
promised layoff, the week before
Christmas, and to add that as a
play week to the New York engage
ment, and then the producers can
celled the two weeks previously en-
gagged in the Broad Street theater,
Philadelphia, Christmas and New
Year weeks; thus providing three
additional weeks in New York, with
the prospect of playing Philadelphia
later.
Mr. Gillette's tour as now booked,
includes Washington the week of
Jan. 6, Baltimore the week of Jan.
IS, Newark the week of Jan. 20,
Philadelphia the two weeks COM
mencing Jan. q, Providence, Hart
ford and New Haven two days each,
and then Albany, Syracuse, Roches-
ter, one night each, and Buffalo or
Toronto the remainder of that week.

Carried On

A child of the stage is Mary Ea-
ton, ex-ziegfeld girl, who is now
appearing in motion pictures.
She made her first appearance in
front of the footlights at the age
of 3 and when 8 was appearing at
concerts as a dancer. She contin-
ued in child parts in stock and
continued dancing under the tute-
lage of Theodore Kosloff.
When 16, she made her debut on
Broadway in 1.-THE Royal Vaga-
bond" and little more than a
year later she followed Marlyn Mil
Ter into the ziegfeld Follies as pre-
mier danseuse. After that she
played with Eddie Cantor in the
great success, kid Boots"
At this time she experienced her
first taste in motion pictures, play
ing small role in support of Bebe
Daniels in His Children'S Children"
Then she returned to the stage,
and it was not until this year, when
she was cast for the role of leading
woman in "The CocoanutS," star
ring the -Four Marx brothers, did
she again appear in front of the
camera. She now is under contract
to Paramount.
Miss Eaton will be seen in the
near future in "Glorifying the
American Girl" one of the new
show world group of Paramount
pictures, produced under the per-
sonal supervision of Florenz zieg-
field. This production was directed
by Willard Webb, to whom Miss
Eaton was married a short time
ago in Hollywood.
