I registered at the Hotel Amoas-

stop when Jean Harlow or Greta

They're marvellous to me there.
They're so kind to me that they

1.-THE selected six we're survivors

Of them I rejected myself. My
collaboration, Dorothy Fields, who
wrote the lyrics, turned thumbs
down on others. Still others were
discarded because they didn't
quite meet the story require

Kern, who works by inspiration
and follows no office hour system
or composing formula, said that
he has found good songs come
rapidly.
Those which are created Ia
boriously, tailor made, so to speak
are generally better thrown away
he said.
The composer of SHOW Boat"

for a composer not to be toe
closely glued to the piano.

is at the piano." he explained
"Improvising at the piano is a
pastime, little else. Melodies
spring from the imagination, not
the keyboard"
lone of my best ideas recently
came while I was being driven
to the studio in my car" he
said.
A modest chap who believes
that nobody is interested in
what a white haired guy who
writes music thinks" Kern says
that there is no mystery about
composing.
Everyone is a potential com
poser" he said. THE banker who

Thus, sleeplesS and dizzy, now
sit here and record for you my
impressions Of Hollywood.
Looks at Night Life
First, let us consider the night
life:
Hollywood night life is very nice.
I have been to the Trocadero, the
Seven Seas, the Century, and four
or five others that I cannot re-

go to the Clover Club, because
that is very nice, too. But I found
out that the very nice Clover Club
had been closed for some time.
I wired that news to my wife and
she replied that, If the Clover
Club was really closed, I could
stay in Hollywood a few days
longer. Broad-ninded girl, my
wife.
Thus, having covered the night
club situation completely, I turn
now to my other impressions Of
Hollywood. Like this:
Hollywood is very nice. The
girls are very nice. The picture
people are very nice. The eli.
mate is very nice. The buildings
are very nice. The scenery is
very nice. AS a matter Of fact,
it's just about the very incest
town in the whole wide world.
So, tonight, I am going back to
New York - which is where I'd
much rather live!
