Elizabeth Patterson Talks
About First Nights

Mrs. Mendelharper," the under
takers widow in "a Very Good
Young Man" was at home.
In fact, Miss Elizabeth Patterson
was very much at home in her love-
ly apartment here when I arrived.
Miss Patterson, great character
actress of both stage and screen, is
best remembered in indianapolis for
her portrayal of Mrs. Mendelhar-

So far the road has been smooth
Grace Moore's "One Night of Love"
created an operate cycle that has
rolled along on its own momentum.
All pictures featuring the vocal
celebrities have followed that pic
lures formula rather closely.
Each has contained a thread of
a love story and each has given its
star opportunity to sing several
arias from popular operas, with the
final warbling usually being done in
the Metropolitan Grand Opera
House.
Arias Nearly Exhausted
Now, however, the producers are
facing the necessity of doing some
thing different with their songbirds.
Not only is the public beginning to
tire Of seeing the same formula
dumped into the pot, but the arias
from popular operas are rapidly be-
ing exhausted.
So far these arias have been used
by Miss Moore in two films and by
Lawrence Tibbett, Lily PonS, Gladys
SWarthout, Nino Martini and Mary
Ellis in one picture each. And they
all have contracts for more produc-
tions.
In addition the movies have their
own ingers-Jeanette Macdonald,
Nelson Eddy, Irene Dunno, John
Boles and Michael Bartlett, all OF
whom excel in classical numbers.
Opera Stars Real Problem
Then there are a dozen or more
others whose forte is popular num-
bers. These cause the producers no
worry. Plenty of song writer's take
care Of them.
The opera stars are the real prob
lem. The public has indicated that
it wants these people. But it doesn't
want them to remain in the mold
already cut.
And it's for the producers to de-
eide what shape the new mold
should assume. That's what is CIV
ing them gray hair. They actually
don't know what to do.
Right now I can think Of only
two possible solutions" declares
Ernst Lubitsch, Paramount produc-
ton chief. "One is the development
of original operas for the screen.
However, there is considerable doubt
as to whether our present crop Of

love in Bloom
Wins Top Spot
Played PASTA Times Over
Radio During Year.

Love is in bloom all over America.
At least it is if the popularity of the
tune Love in Bloom" written by
Leo Robin and Ralph Ranger, and
introduced by Bing Crosby, is any
indication.
According to the annual report
of popular music popularity by the
American Society Of Composers,
Authors and Publishers, Love in
Bloom was played 24,374 times over
the radio, emanating from STA key
stations. During the peak Of its
popularity the song was played on
an average of ten times each day.
The sheet music sale of the piece,
which Bing Crosby sang first in the
picture college Humor" reached
huge proportions during 1884. More
than 100000 copies were sold. Be-
fore the advent of radio, a good song
used to sell up to 100000 copies
The average sale of d, popular song
today is $4,000 copies.
According to the society's report,
"All Do Is Dream of You" written
by Necio Herb Brown and Arthur
Freed, was second in popularity
with 23,910 performances over the
radio and sheet sale of 100000
copies.
Third on the list was "Carioca, 81
by Vincent Youmans, Gus Kahn and
Edward Eliscu. This song was played
over radio a total of 23,754 times,
but sold only 100000 copies.

Music Wins
P| audits Of
Show-Goers
It's Dandy Film Despite
Some Bad Cutting by
the Studios.
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON

That old battered velvet top-hat
which Ted Lewis has tipped for
every President since Theodore
Roosevelt, is being twisted, twirled
and tossed into the air again by the
inimitable Mr.. Lewis in his first
movie, Here Comes the Band" now
at LoeW's Theater.
The picture is, despite a confused
continuity, a bang-up musical. It's
success is due mostly to Mr.. Lewis,
Nat Pendleton and Ted Healy. The
singing Of Harry Stockwen, new
leading man, is splendid. AS an
actor he has been plucked far too
soon.
The story Of Here Comes the
Band" is wrapped around young
singer from the West (Mr. Stock
WELD who writes a song, sings it on
an amateur radio program and wins
the medal. But a publisher, feign-
ing interest in the composition,
steals the melody.
The Cutting Badly Done
With The aid of his pal (Mr.
Healy) and his pals friend, Ted
Lowry (Mr. Lewis, who gets to-
gether the band he directed during
the war, and with the aid Of the
girl the young singer loves, a case
against the song-thief is made and
all turns out happily.
In cutting the picture, some one
has shattered the continuity in sew
eral places so that the spectator is
not sure Just where the action is
taking place or for what reason,
This, of course, is not to the credit
of the film. But the music is grand,
and Mr.. Lewis, if any thing, is better
on the screen than he is on stage.
After his Songs of Yesteryear"
number (Which he did last year on
LoeWs stage) one could almost feel
the crunch of the peanuts beneath
ones feet. And Charlie (SnoWbalD
Whittier, who threw the peanuts all
over Mr.. Farrars Palace floor last
year, losses tons Of them in Here
Comes the Band" And, yes, they do
that Me and My Shadow number.

If all this doesn't make you APP
plaud Mr.. Lewis shoWmanship, then
it merely remains for you to wait
for his traditional theme song,
when My Baby Smiles at Me,
which is delightfully."- embellished in
Here Comes the Band" by the APP
pearance Of little Spanky McFar-
land.
Virginia Bruce is a little tragic as
the leading lady, but that doesn't
make much difference with Mr..
Pendleton and Mr.. Healy around.

but Here Comes the Band is as
suredly a topping desert for Ted

Talk About
Hobbies and
You re SET!
For That's Spot Nearest
Hearts of FilmIand'S
Top Ten.'
BY DAN THOMAS
NEA Service staff Correspondent


HOLLYWOOD. Oct. Nobody
ever accused Hollywood's glamor-
Gus sons and daughters of being too
modest. 1t must be admitted that
nearly all of them are well aware
of their particular talents-appar-
emily an essential quirk in the
minds of successful actors.
But when you consider the fact
that every week they receive thou
sands of letters praising them to
the skies, the celluloid crowd are a
pretty modest lot.
Seldom do you hear them crow
ing from the housetops-at least
not about their acting.
But they'll boast about other tai
ents. In fact, some of the most re-
firing will talk an arm off you if
you get them started on the right
subject. But in Hollywood self
glorification in a hobby isn't re-
garded as Dragging.
Mr.. Gable and Lions
For instance, Clark Gable is one
of the most modest men in the en-
tire film colony. Yet he'll spend
an hour telling you how he out
smarted a mountain lion on a
hunting trip. just mention his
acting, and he'll say, Jaw, that's a
lot of baloney," and shut up like a
clam.
Marlene Dietrich is the same way
when it comes to discussing her
own histrionic abilities. And she's
equally tight-lipped about men.
But just get her started on pho
Biography and she'll go into great
detail about how she spent a whole
morning stalking a squirrel to get
an unusual picture of it.
Dix-Diaper Changer
If you really want to hear Rich
ard Dix talk volubly, you have to
bring up the subject of ranching-.
or babies. Richard thinks he has
most farmers backed into a corner
when it comes to raising turkeys
And as for changing baby'S dia-
pers, you'd think he held all world
records since his twins were born.
Lily Pons has proved herself a
very poor conversationalist as re-
CARDS her operate career. But she
is practically in a class with Clyde
Beatty when it comes to training
animals.
You can't visit her home without
watching her three dogs, her cat
and her parrot strut their stuff
And she's very proud of the fact
that she personally trained every
one of them.
Take Gary Cooper
And strong, silent Gary Cooper
isn't a bit silent when the subject
is hunting or racing automobiles.
Gary considers himself pretty much
Of an authority on both subjects.
That's the way these movie folk
are. Deep down in their hearts
they know their first interest is in
acting because that, after all, is
what keeps them alive.
But they won't admit it even to
themselves, much less somebody
else. They much prefer to think
of themselves as living for their
hobbies.

song writer's could adapt themselves
to this medium, which they never
before have attempted.
THE old solution is for the sing
ing stars to turn to popular numbers.
In my opinion this would satisfy the
public. I believe they are primarily
interested in the voices of the stars.
I don't think it matters great deal
what type of songs they sing as long
as they are good"
Lubitsch sums up pretty we'll the
opinion of the industry. Neverthe-
less, studio bosses are trying to find
still another approach to this prob
lem.
They have heavy investments in
their songsters. And they must get
their money back somehow
