1926 he had written Ballet Me-

phenomena, riots in Paris. In 1880

II can remember q time, about
1928" he laughs, when I was deeply
hurt if anybody, outside small
circle Of snobs, professed to under
stand my music. I was so outraged
I always went home and changed it
Immediately. But I outgrew that.
Instead of trying to be unintelligible,
I want to be understood and to
reach people, and there's no better
way to do it than through pictures.
"A man may not care about music,
but when he's exposed to it every
time he goes to- movie it's bound
to influence him subconsciously. He's
conditioned to it, whether he likes
it or not, because he can't see q
picture without hearing 1t. Then
he goes home, and turns on his
radio. without that picture expert
epce, he would turn the dial quickly
If by chance he tuned in on a SYM
phony. He'd skip over to Benny
Goodman. But he's heard enough
movie music to give the symphony

being brought out along with new
and modern recordings to supply the
booming market.
delight your real conncisseur of jazz
in that they were deemed too hot
for the average listener and SO were
remade in a not too intricate pat
tern for general consumption.
Some of these hidoen hot plates
which were never released before,
but have now been retrieved from
the files of Columbia records are
Bessie Smiths Cake Walking
Babies" 1925, Fletcher Hender-
sons Hop Off" Q92D and two Louis
Armstrong; of 1927
Birth of the "Scat."
In taking over the OLD files of sew
eral early companies Columbia also
uncovered and reissued another
Armstrong classic. This is the ver-
sion of Boyd Atkins tune, "Heebie
Jeebies," which, when made In 1926,
was Armstrong; first hit and on
which he accidentally introduced
scat singing on records
When he was in the midst of re-
cording "Heebie Jeebies" he dropped
the music and the sheets went f1ut-
tering out of reach to the far cor
ners of the studio. But Armstrong
kept on singing and improvising
his own gibberish lyrics as the re-
cording continued. He accompanied
this with Potato Head Blues" one
of his finest trumpet solos.
Armstrong also has series re-
corded for Victor which is reissuing
some of his second masters" in
Guiding his classic solo in That's
My Home" which have been re-
covered from hermit existence
in the files.
Also coming out of the Victor files
is a full album of records by the
famed Blk Beiderbecke before his
untimely death silenced the delicate
vibrato of his cornet which made
him famed both with listeners and
with his fellow players when he was
solo star for Paul Whiteman's,
Hoagy Carmichaels and other or
chestras.
Beiderbecke, as his records reveal,
was an enthusiastic and expert
mental artist. Not only would he
give on his cornet with relish In
such sweet solo number that he
liked as Georgia on My Mind" but
he would also swing with enthus-
iasm into challenge of instruments
as he did with such a rough-houSe
trumpet player as Bubber Miley in
their co-recording of "Rockin'
Chair"
Or, as he did a similar exciting
feat in improvising a two-and four
bar phrase with saxophonist frankie
Trumbauer in You Took Advantage
of Me"
The Beiderbecke memorial album,
which is mostly of popular numbers
Of 20 years ago, is revived at the
timely moment when so much music
OF that early era Is coming to life
again to vie with present-day COM
positions.

story. They fall for it and the story
still turns up in print. She travels

to Mexico, but admits she'd probably
be partial to Siberia, too, if she'd

Like Myrna 10y, Rita Hayworth,

looks different off the screen. Her
beauty is considerably more patri-

I like to think OF music IN picture
scores-an extra actor performing
along with those you see on the
screen"
Antheil, now 40, was one of the
first of the noted symphonic COM
posers who found in movies means
for reaching the masses with their
music. He scored Ben Hecht's
"The ScoundreI" in 1885, has done
'The Plainsman" and THE Buc-
cancer" for Cecil B. Demille, and
now has finished the music for
Hecht's latest film, angels Over
Broadway"
1t Once Was Different.
IT can illustrate this extra actor
thing with one scene in the picture" !"
he says. "A scene in which Thomas
Mitchell talks over the telephone
with his divorced wife. He's down
and out, and lonely. You get his
conversation only, never her replies.
But she's therein the music, the
unseen actor in the scene"
A few years ago Hollywood didn't
have any George Antheils playing
with its scores. What composers
call the Mickey Mouse technique"
was the movie vogue-pat little
strains accompanying the action,
excerpts lifted from the. classics,
musical birds twittering If photo
graphic birds twittered on the

other pair, will be unreeling in
theaters before long. Keeping up
with Paulette will be one of the
busy fans biggest worries this
winter. Anyway, we'll try here to
set down a few impressions Of Hol-
lywoods foremost feminine enig-
ma.
She thinks women ought to dress
for men-not for women Says
the average woman selects her
clothing especially to make her girl
friends envious Best-dressed
women, she contends, are those who
have the gents definitely in mind
while shopping . On the other
hand, don't overdo, she cautions
else you look tawdry AS for
makeup. that's out so far as she's
concerned Uses none for street
wear and very little in pictures.
No Diet Worries.
In two films she has just COM
pleted, Second Chorus" and The
Great Dictator" she becomes in
volved with crazy people. In the
third, North West Mounted Police"
she was a little crazy herself-play-
ing love-sick halfbreed.
Paulette is one of few featured
actresses-half a dozen would be a
high estimate-who don't have to
worry about dieting and weight.
Women in her family have been
slender for generations and have
eaten as they pleased. She doesn't
say so, but none of them ever capi-
talized on their shape like this God
dard does. She plays everything
from anagrams to shinny with un-
bounded enthusiasm and dexterity.
But she's old-fashioned enough to
get enjoyment out of being called
athletic"
That, she says, is because she re-
members back beyond the Eleanor
Holm Jarrett Rose days when wom-
en- athletes had shoulders like a
sailors duff1ebag and ankles like New
Hampshire fence poles. Neverthe-
less, she swings one of the meanest
tennis. racquets in town and is a
QldGCll UIlC COuI Us 1OI d1ly I1ON1C
lady-including Ginger Rogers and
Constance Bennett. She's strong
exponent of realism in art. In her
home she has several paintings of
one of the most beautiful women in
the world-Paulette Goddard. But
she prefers a painting given her by
Diego Rivera of 200-pound Indian
matron scrubbing clothes on a
rock.
Likes to Travel.
Pauiette is seldom mentioned In
the night club chatter, but she's a
fixture at such fashionable places as
Pebble Beach, Coronado and New
port. That's significant, because the
average movie actress is no more
familiar with those localities than
your cousin Joe-the one who runs
the Riverfront Pool Emporium.

writer she meets that she has given

pursing his lips once.

The Doctor Takes a Wife" hec- tic hilarious, happy new hit show ing at the Capitol for the last times tonight. With Loretta Young appearing in her first comedy role-and appearing to greater ad- vantage than ever before!-with Ray Midland as her dashing CO., star, and a splendid supporting cast which includes Reginald Gardiner, Gail Patrick, Edmund Gwenn and Georges Metaxa, The Doctor Takes a Wife" is a sure cure for the blues!
 Miss Young's metamorphosis from ravishingly radiant leading lady to riotously unrestrained comedienne is a spectacular highlight in a spectacularly hectic hit. As a young author who writes books in praise of spinsterhood, Miss Young brings to the screen an entirely new conception of herself, as an actress, and of career women in general And fun-packed fireworks result when Americas favorite spinster suddenly 'marries" young doctor to whom all women are poison, with the fond exception of his own fiancee!

Christmas
 Tree Hint
 On Cutting
Yuletide Decorations Must No Be Taken from
 Close 10 Highway

District Ranger w. A. Chipper- field says that he is receiving many inquiries about the right to cut Christmas trees from lands ac- cesstble to the highway He states Chat trees for Che home use Of the person doiAg the cutting, cr o churches CT fraternal oreariza- tians can be cut from National Forest land without the prior ap- proval of a Forest officer, provid- ed they are not cut from any point within 200 feet of the road, or from designated recrea tion a l grounds, such as the Aux Village area. He points out that the pur- pose of this restriction is to help preserve the natural beauty of the Glacier Highway and that uncon- trolled cutting over period of years would seriously mar tie ap- pearance of the roadside.
 Chipperfield asks that cutters be sure they are satisfied with par ticular tree before they cut it down Many trees are wasted each year by being cut and then dis carded in favor of a more desir- able one that is found later.
 Christmas tree cutters will also want to remember that many tracts of privately owned land occur along the Glacier Highway Permission to take trees from these areas must of course, be obtained from the owners. The District Rangers of flee will gladly give advice on whether or not a particular tract is publicly owned land.
 Christmas trees which are in- tended for sale have to be paid for and the cutting must be done in accordance with the timber sale requirements of the Forest Ser7- ice.
