When word got around Hollywood
in whispers that could be heard
from Culver City to Beverly Hills
that Daryl Zanuck and Twentieth
Century-Fox has signed the Dionne
quintuplets to star IN picture, an
astonishing number of famous play
ers sent word that they'd consider
appearing in the supporting cast.
Agents for prominent actors and
actresses knocked at zanuck's door,
while lesser performers ciamored
at the gates.
Mr.. Zanuck said. no, thank you,"
to one and all, and began looking
around for the persons he really
wanted. He stepped over the hills
to M-G-M and borrowed their Jean

been on the screen 20 years, but only
recently began to achieve real
prominence. A great many persons

of the nurse-went to Dorothy

18 Brahms
Works Given
by Newton
Recital Is Third to Deal
With Range of
German Song.
BY JAMES THRASHER

The winters recitals by George
Newton have given his listeners the
delightful experience of meeting or
renewing acquaintance with some
of the finest of vocal music. The
= two cycles of Schubert have been
heard. and Schumann,s "Dichter-
liebe." With last nights evening
of Brahms we have scanned the
three great peaks in the imposing
range of German song.
1t is unfair, if not impossible,
to compare these composers.
Though the lineage from Schubert
through Brahms is clear, the works
. of each are woven of their own
creators genius. Brahms songs, if
not always so readily appealing.
furnish new riches with repeated
hearing. They also are the stern
est test of a singers vocal and mu-
steal equipment, especially the -Four
Z Serious Songs" which closed last
nights program.
Mr.. Newton chose 1S of the finest
of the Brahms songs. avoiding the
too familiar, and wisely arranging
them to contrast the lyric with the
dramatic, the humorous with the
somber. And as in former recitals,
the soloist brought to each song
interpretive distinction and splen-
did delivery.
Deserve Separate Consideration
The -Four Serious Songs" deserve
separate consideration, as they hold
place apart from the other
Brahms ''lieder" Written in the
composers last year to scriptural
texts of his own selection, they are
Brahms sober reflections on life and
death, uttered in the fullnesS of his
years and of his powers. They hold
no abiding faith nor any defeated
longing for release, they are
spiritual and artistic balancing of
accounts. Properly sung, they be-
come moving musical experience,
and Mr. Newton, capably assisted by
Walter WhitWorth at the piano, did
them full justice.
Last nights audience, while en-
lthusiastic, was again disappoint-
ingly small. Those lovers of good
music and fine singing who fail to
hear Mr.. Newton are missing one
of the outstanding events of the
season.
The two remaining concerts in the
series are to be >'"vnted to the songs
of Hugo Wolf Ina hlchard Strauss
on March IT, and to those of Arthur
Somervell and Charles Critics on
April 81.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Feb 26.-There's
Il i something new under the bright Cali
fornia sun every second at the major mo-
ton picture studios. Making movies Of
fers nearly as many problems as "Boul-
dering" up river Watching the direc-
tors, stars, cameramen and assorted film
aids meet these problems is much more
interesting than seeing the finished prod
uct on the screen.
Making the rounds of the studios one
can see 80 different feature productions
in the making; movies which will be
shown around the country during the next
six months.
At present the Warner Bros, First Ma
tional studios is the busiest of all the mo-
ton picture lots" Nine pictures are in
the making, with the Al Jolson 1886 musi-
cal flicker. THE Singing Kid" having

Most interesting of the current War

had some screen experience with
multiple births because she twice
was cast as the mother of twins.
Her German maid coached her on
handling them.
Miss Carlyle's real name is Bauer,
and her father is Chris Bauer, Man
hattan's malt king. She was born
in San Francisco, educated in Paris,
Switzerland and Hollywood, and re-
turned to San Francisco 10 years
ago to begin stage career. Her
comedy roles-six with Chic Sales
haven't interfered with her ambi-
ton, which is to sing in concert and
opera. She holds musicales in her
hillside home, to which her guests
bring instruments.
These evenings, a new guest at
those gatherings is John Qualen
selected by zanuck to impersonate
the father. Qualen plays the flute.
Also, if urged, the piano and the
saxophone.
His paternal grandfather's name
was Olesen, but that was changed
to Kvalen, the name of his farm
when he came to this country from
Norway. Eventually it got around
to Qualen, which is pronounced
"Kwa-len." So that's straight.
He is a small, mousey comedian
whom you have seen in a number
of pictures lately. though generally
in small parts. In 'Whipsaw," he
became the bewildered father OF
twins. Has three children of his
own.
You wouldn't think, watching him
act, that he once made a clean
sweep of oratory prizes in high
school in Elgin, H.. and at North
