 Commencing Tomorrow

The drama of the British Merch- ant Marine serves to team Freddie Bartholomew and Mickey Rooney in a gripping story in Lord Jeff, J story of England's future sailors, opening tomorrow for a four day engagement at the cool LoeW's Poli theater.

SWING IT! TheIas of Five Sparkling Stories by Norman s'ge Tom T0m-Foolery Lays Hep-CatS In The Aisles

The swing arrangement, how ever, cannot be so cut and dried. Any licks the orchestrator writes in for the instruments must have the actual quality of the music itself - originality, syncopation and excitement.
 HERE'S THE
 TOP-NOTCHERS
 The swing field has produced six or seven outstanding arrangers- Fletcher Henderson; Jimmy Mundy a tall, bespectacled Negro who is re- sponsible for Benny Goodman's re- markable versions of "Sing, Sing Sing" "Swingtime in the Rockies, and "Bie Mir Bist du Scheon"; Ed gar Sampson, who works for Good man; Will Beittel and Nathan Van Cleave of the Swing Club, and Will Hudson and Larry Clinton, who al- so lead bands of their own.
 One big difference between a swing and a straight arrangement lies in the musical directions written in for the players. New oIl Cdlill]IlCQ ChIJl coolOllo IepldCl the Italian phrases in the scores For example, such instructions as "fortissimo" and 'glissando" have become "schmaltz" and smear
 "Scherzo" has become medium bounce"; "staccato" is expressed by "bite it off" or "whack it off; "tutti," which means all play to. gether, has become free wheel ing; !"pianissimo" is expressed as whisper it." and lad lib" has come down to ride solo," "go tc town" jam" or Ego out of the world"
 Swing music has passed the fad stage, for all of the younger mu- sicians are brushing up on its technique and will continue tc ride" it as long as anyone has ears left to take it - for pure swing music can be taken by the ear as well as the foot.

FOREIGN ACTRESS
 TOPS ESTATE BILL
DanneIIe Darrieux Starred in Rage Of Paris
 Opening Today

A new and charming personality will grace the screen of Warner Bros. State theater for four days starting with performances this afternoon, when Danielle Darrieux widely acclaimed foreign lovely makes her American and local debut in the headliner of the special holi- day bill, "The Rage of Paris"
 The newcomer has looks. She is certainly among the most beauti- full girls on the screen today. She has plenty of charm and a most fetching ease and "unselfconscious- ness" that makes her perfectly adorable in this comedy romance
 Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., whose recent performances have added new brilliance to famous theatri- cal name, is co-starred with Miss Darrieux. The excellent supporting cast is headed by two comedy fa- vorites, Mischa Auer and Helen Broderick, and features Louis Hay ward.
 Mischa Auer's genius for comedy
 
 Russian waiter. He nearly worries himself to death after being per- suaded against his wishes to f. nance a marriage career for the pretty but penniless French beauty. Helen Broderick appears as a quick-witted ex-actress who talks Mischa out of his bank-roll. AS a self-appointed adviser in affairs of the heart, she proceeds to show Danielle how to handle American men. Louis Hayward as the third member of the romantic triangle, competes with Fairbanks for the heroine's heart.
 Miss Darrieux's costumes, for sequences in which she takes a fling at smart society after her rise from poverty, represent the most lavish array of feminine finery seen on any actress in recent years.
 The story is all about what hap pens to her when she lands in New York, a poor little French girl, hungry and broke and has to take a job modelling in the nude for a famous artist In her excitement at getting job, she gets the ad- dress wrong and begins disrobing in the office of Fairbanks, an ad- vertising executive. That starts the fireworks after Auer and Miss Broderick add their bit and Hay ward gets into action.
 Others in the cast include Charles
