Open City" which has been widely acclaimed as one of the truly great dramatic films of recent years, was made in Italy during the in- crediblY cold and difficult Winter of 1944-45 It was directed by Rob- erto Rossehni who had to beg, bor- TOW and steal to finish the film.
 The scenery was painted in a loft building after the liberation of Rome and the picture was shot ia a huge, old-fashioned ballroom! without permit, without studio lights at time when electricity was unobtainable Except for a handful Of principals, the picture cast consists of ordinary Roman citizens picked off the streets to act for the first time in this film
 The film was brought to this country by Rod Geiger, a young American soldier. who lugged a print of it. hidden in his duffel bag all over Europe. Shortly after his arrival in the United States "Oper Q " had it's American premiere or Broadway where it broke every rec. or dat the World Theatre and wa. enthusiastically acclaimed by bott the public and the press.

Technicolor Hitot Polls
 Moke Mine Music
 LovishIy Produced

Picture fans all over the world have grown to expect something en- tirely new and startingly beautiful in every film Walt Disney produces, but never was this expectancy so lavishly and humorously fulfilled as in Make Mine Music" full length technicolor feature now seen at the Loew-Poli Theater.
 The list of "ghost-starring top liners includes Dinah Shore, Benny Goodman, Andy Russell, Andrew Sisters, Nelson Eddy. Jerry Colonna, Sterling Holloway the Pied PiperS, the Kings Men. who provide back ground vocalization of the various animated sequences. The famous ballet principals, Lichine and Ria bouchinska, alone are seen as the | living silhouettes in the Two Sll- houettes' sequence.
 In Make Mine Music an out standing effect for the technicolor treatment is the newly-perfected recording process by which Nelson Eddy, in the episode The Whale Who Wanted to Sing at the Met sings all vocal parts, being heard as soprano, tenor, baritone and bass, and finally as all of them together as representations of ensemble num- bers.
 However, in 1.-TWO Silhouettes animation combines with direct photography. They are made to fly and soar as dancers can only dream of doing, while Miss Shore renders the title song off-Scene. The popu- lar vogue for surrealism gets fling in Make Mine Music" with technl- color action on the screen in After You've Gone to music of Goodman and his quartet One item is adap- tation of Prokofieff's orchestral fa- ble. Peter and the Wolf And an- other is Disneys satirical version of an afternoon with American bob by seekers, to the music of All the Cats Join In"
 The remaining two are picturlza- tions of the robust traditional Am erican subjects The Martin and the Coys" and Casey at the Bat recit- ed by Colonna The love interest which always SWeetenS and spice!

MUSIC FOR COAL MINERS
 just heard that music is being played in coal mines as means of relieving fatigue and stimulat- ing morale looks as if the miners would really be in the groove now. The new idea was tried in a Pennsylvania mine as test, but I can't see how it can possibly work .. can you imagine John L. Lewis dangling eyebrows with Petrillo?
 The music has already necesSi- tated change in wages the miners are not getting three-quar- ter time and a half. The first rec ord to innaugurate the music pro- gram in the mine was a fast ten minutes of "Diga Diga Doo." The day they tried the recordings 1t nearly caused a riot. The alarm went off and a miner came run ming out of the shaft shouting, Quick, get another needle!
 Music as a production stimulant has already been proved in the war plants and it's, fact that some people do their best work to music take Gypsy Rose Lee, for instance!
 The underground jukebox is al- ready showing its worth, and be- lieve it or not, the playing of Cros- by's records has caused tremen- dous increase in production. That s easy to understand the mi ners keep throwing Jumps of coal at the loudspeaker As for the mi ners, when one was asked how he liked music while he worked, he said, What music? -. run an electric drill!"
