POLES

Irving Berlin is wondering if he will be considered somewhat of Q traitor to the song-writing world.
 This world-famous composer was induced by Daryl F. Zanusk, 20th Century Fox production chief, to write the original story for the spectacular production of "Alexan- der's Ragtime Band" opening Sat- urday at the popular cool Loew Poli theater.
 Starting with the time-1911-in which he composed his first big in- ternational song hit, "Alexander's Ragtime Band" Berlin carried the sweeping drama through the World war years up to the present.
 Although the story centers around Alexander (played by Tyrone Pow er) and his sensational band, which he developed on the colorful Bar bary coast, most of the action of the story takes place in high emo- tional scenes in San Francisco; New York's Greenwich Village; a New York theater; London the- ater. and Carnegie hall.
 Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Ethel Norman, Jack Haley and oth- CT noted players head the cast of the dramatic production under the direction of Henry King and the associate producership of Harry Joe Brown.
 Sharing honors on the same pro- gram are Dennis O'Keefe, who turned in such a brilliant performance as Wallace Beery's son in "The Bad Man of Birthstone" and lovely new conner Ann Morris in the gayest romantic MGM hit of the season, 'The Chaser"
 Current attractions Loews Poli include Bob Young in "Rich- Man-Poor Girl" in which he gives another of his superb breezy, com- edy characterizations which have endeared him to fans the country over. With Young in this film is Lew Ayres, becoming increasingly popu- lar, Ruth Hussey, Rita Johnson, Lana Turner and others make up a star-studdied cast
 The second hit showing on this program is Crime Ring" tense and thrilling drama featuring Allan Lane and Frances Mercer in the leading roles.

STRAND

The Warner Bros. Strand theater adheres to its new policy of three complete changes of program every week, Tuesday, Thursday and Sum- day.
 A glorious successor to "Magnifi. cent Obsession and Green Light" is the film White Banners" the head liner and incidentally one of the outStanding candidates for the 1888 Academy award which opens today.
 Each and every member of the perfect cast perform splendidly. They include Claude Rains Fay Bainter, Jackie Cooper and Bonita Granville who are seen in the lead- ing roles.
 In the picture, as in the novel, the dominant character is that of Han- nah Parmalee, the toil-worn peddler who comes into the household of Paul Ward, the small-town school teacher, at troublous time and de- votes herself unself1shly to the serv- ice of the Ward family. Necessarily condensed, the story of the picture deals mainly with the period in which Paul Ward invents an iceless iceboX and then reaches its climax in the discovery by Han nah that the adopted son of the town banker is her own child.

 The States big parade of the new seasons hits sweeps on with tomorrow's presentation of "The Texans, Paramount's stirring epic of the great southwest.
 The story concerns the south's struggle for freedom and self rule during the Reconstruction days af- ter the Civil War.
 Miss Bennett portrays a tempestu- ous belle of Old Dixie, while a Scott has the role of the soldier lover who James her.
 Miss Bennett is usually thought of as the fragile type, more at home Tn a drawing-room than on the prairies, but in this film as a fire eating daughter of the South, she goes the "Jezebels" and "Scarlett O'Haras" one better and starts one-woman rebellion against car pet bag rule which nearly throws all Texas into flames.
 As the southern soldier who comes home from war to find his country in ruins, Scott has a role in which he IS completely at home. He him. self is a son of Dixie to the very core, born in Virginia and edu- cated in Georgia and North Caro- lima. Even now he spends much of his free time in the heart of the Virginia fox-hunting country.
 A part based on the life of one of the frontiers most colorful char acters, Mrs. Amanda Burks, the first woman ever to drive the Chis- holm Trail, is played by May Rob- son, "the grand old lady of the screen" Seen recently in "A Star Is Born" and 'The Adventure of Tom Sawyer" Miss Robson now has her most "hardbitten role as the intrepid old frontierswoman who stands up for her rights against the Union army.

They scan every line of dialogue turned out by their subordinates. Frank Hummert is a former Texas ranger whose prolific story telling and manner of operation are somewhat similar to those of Alexander Dumas, the first to run a story factory of writers.

New York( Aug. 18.-Some day the complete story of Ferde Grofe, or From Anonymous Arranger to Famous Composer" will be written and the world will be the richer for fine bit of Americancana.
 Grofe was one of the first ar- rangers to become identified in the public mind with the band (Paul Whiteman's) whose fame he did so much to enhance, for usually these laborers in the musical vineyard are known only to a few students of musical affairs. And now he is rated one of our best American composers with several semi-classics to his credit.
 Grofe never seems to compose in the conventional style. For instance, he was commissioned by the Ken lucky Colonels to write Kentucky Derby suite. They took it for grant, ed he would journey to Churchill Downs to get the color picture of the Blue Grass classic fixed in his mind. But Grofe doesn't like horses or horse racing so he arranged with Clem Mccarthy to get a written de- scription of the race. From the de- scription he wrote the suite which won critical acclaim when it was performed on the air not long ago.
 Then there was Grofe's newspa- per tone depletion, Tabloid" He had asked a tabloid's city editor for script from which to write the opus but the city editor found himself to busy to write one. Grofe lamented this fact to an insurance agent who showed him a case history of one of his clients whose beneficiaries had filed a death claim; the lad was slain as a holdup man. It was graphic picture taken from police files for the insurance company the holdup, the crackle of pistol fire, the sirens of the police, the screams of pedestrians.
 Grofe got it all down on paper except the scream of the sirens. For the life of him he couldn't remem- Der the sound. So he picked up the telephone, called the local police department near his New Jersey home and explained his predicament The police sergeant backed a patrol car up to the window, handed out the telephone and had one of his men play the siren into the mouth piece. On the other end, was Grofe smiling beatifically as he set down the appropriate notes.
