JANSEN CIV ES.
LURE OF MUSIC.
new DIRECTION
His Score For Blockade
Praised by Critic
BY WILLIAM NEWMAN

The effort to add to a highly
dramatic picture the lure Of
music has been given a new di-
rection by Werner Jansen.
Characteristic color and the sug-
pestion of mood has been his
purpose since first he became
associated with the sound track.
He was satisfied to add few
typical echoes of Chinese music
to the picture, THE General
Dies at Dawn; and. in his
latest score for Wanger'S Block
ade," current at Loves Capitol,
he has done no more.
VISUAL APPEAL
Mr.. Jansen insists that the
real power of the filmed play
lies in its visual appeal; that
the spoken word is no more than
definition, a convenience, when
compared with the captions in
the silent pictures, but dis
traction when continued at such
length that the movement of the
picture is interrupted. He be-
lieves that the incidental music,
so necessary in the silent pic
ture, is definitely less important
than the dialogue.
So he has taken the pastoral
peace of the opening and set
its mood to a flute solo that
really is a fine, imaginative
melody, and he has caught the
martial mood in a rouSing, quasi
patriotic march. This is not so
good, Mr.. Jansen being no sec
ond Sousa. BY way of incidental
color he lets a fragment of pop
ular Spanish music filter from
the window of a cafe. One
Judges that it is the music Of
Spain after the partial assimila-
ton of American swing.
FUNCTION OF MUSIC
Happily, Mr.. Jansen, who
now conducts the country'S only
municipal symphony orchestra,
in the neighboring city of Bal
timore and is called civic be-
cause of a generous subsidy from
the city's treasury, treats the
function of music in the filmed
play just as older and more
famous composers have en-
ployed with the spoken drama.
He is not afraid to suspend or
chestral activity when that suits
his purpose. This, too, conforms
to his thesis, to which it is a
pleasant duty to subscribe.

Boston, March 18 O.P0 - Professor Edwin Kemmerer, Myron Taylor and President Roosevelt sym belize the causes of the current re- cession, according to Dr. Oliver M w. Sprague, Harvard economist.
 Addressing the Boston Club of the Harvard Business School Alumni Association last night, Dr. Sprague said he chose:
 Kemmerer, Princeton professor, because he influenced business to believe in 1886 that imitation was coming. thereby inducing business to raise prices and increase wages.
 Taylor of the United States Steel Corporation, because he influenced business to raise prices in the year following October, 1886.
 And President Roosevelt. because the new deals method of advocating new measures has been "one direct cd toward inspiring distrust of the entire executive class in the com munity.
 Sprague asSailed the new deal for attempting too many reforms and haphazardly enacting legislation without sufficient investigation. He suggested the administration should make up its mind" on its policy to. ward public utilities in the field ol electricity. -,--,-..

FRENCH DIPLOMATS
 MAY SETTLE DISPUTE
Ultimatum Does Not Ex- pire Until Saturday, 10
 D. m. EsthOnian Time

Warsaw, Poland, March 18. - (UP) - The war fever in Poland reached it's peak to- day at a huge mass meeting in the main square of Wilma, where the crowds shouted for invasion of Lithuania. Despite credible reports that Lithuania would accede to the Polish ultimatum and seek negotiations, the mass meeting passed a resolution demanding elimination of Lithu- ania." The meeting was engi- neered by the Pilsudski Legionnaires and the Club of Poles living in the Kovno District of Lithuania.
 Access to Baltic
 The resolution also demanded access to the Baltic by the river Nyemen, whose lower course and estuary, forming the border between East Prussia and the Memel district, is considered by Germans as poten- italy 8 German river. Part of its upper course flows through East Prussia.
 The resolution was handed to Marshal Edward RydZ-Smigly, in- Spector general of the army and Polands leader, who went to Wilma today from Warsaw.
 Abolish Lithuania
 Sharply Worded. the resolution said:
 The population of Wilma, mother town of Pilsudski Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, Poland's first president) calls on his successor to abolish Lithuania, which bars Poland's road to the Baltic by way of the old Polish river Nyemen.
 For centuries Poland has had access to the Baltic Sea not only by the Vistula through Danzig, but also by the Nyemen and Memel.
 "This historic access must be re- gained and the obstacle of Lith- uania must be eliminated"
 Calling the Lithuanian govern ment "incendiaries menacing Euro pean peace," the resolution con-
