Not less than 10 Meyer Davis

Though most of the popular
music in Europe is mediocre,
Mr.. Davis cited one tune. Il
Kiss Your Hand, Madame" as
remarkably clever and appealing
and predicts that it will soon at.

Dance music in 80 per cent of
the luxury resorts of Europe
sounds just like that produced by
a third-class American orchestra,
Davis says.
"A poor imitation of American
dance music is the rage in Eu-
rope nowadays" he said. 'They
are two or three months behind

least two years late in their man.

are crazy about the very jazzy

make good in talking pictures.
On Pullman from Washington
to Chicago he had the good
fortune to engage a Hollywood
fillum magnate in conversation
and confided his ambition. The
flicker chief was not impressed,
so the actor made him a SPORT
ing proposition. 'I'll work for
nothing if you give me a chance,
and after you see the picture
We'll talk terms for the next

took him up. Well, the actor
made the picture and made
good. So good that the day
after a preview he was signed
by rival producer. Now the

served him with an injunction
