friend of Rodgers heard "Oh, What Beau
tiful Morningr' Dick" he asked, ''how
long did it take you to write that3" Rodgers
replied in all seriousness, ''How long
docs it take to play it?''
The average, non-theatrical citizen might
expect that when composer and ibrettist
finish writing show, their job is more or
less over, and they can take trip to
Bermuda. Quite the opposite is true. Rodgers
and Hammerstein agree that writing show
is the least narrowing part of their work.
The real task begins with rehearsals. There
are endless adjustments to be made ma
terial to be added here and cut there. They
put in l6 hours day at the theater, includ-
ing Saturdays and Sundays.
As rehearsal tension mounts, Rodgers for
titles himself before each meal with tea

fancies it soothes his nerves. Mrs Rodgers
says she is not sure what Composers Medi-
cine is made Of but thinks it is mainly
powdered charcoal and water.
Plenty Of Seats 10 Test
RODGERS moves around lot during rehear-
sails. having two long aisles to pace and
several hundred seats to test. Hammerstein
settles down in one seat. I'm just the oppo-
site from Dick" he says. Il do my writing
standing up and my worrying sitting down"
After three or four weeks of rehearsal, the
show starts its pre-Broadway try-out tour
Rehearsals keep right on, the two writer's
desperately doctoring book and score.
Rodgers is said to have told producer
once, "I'n write you a score for ten dollars
if don't have to 60 to rehearsals."
Though Rodgers and Hammerstein
are new as a team, they are both veteran
showmen. Oscar Hammerstein End is the
product of famous theatrical family, his
grandfather, father and uncle all having been
producers. Oscar made pass at studying
law, but gave it up to become stage man
ager. He wrote his first show Ia f1op) in 1919
and his first success, "Wildfower," in 1928.
Rodgers, on the other hand, was born the
son of New York family doctor. He started
fooling around the piano at four, and later
on haunted Carnegie Hall and the Met"
He also took in all the Gilbert and Sullivan
he could, but his real idol in the field

of light music was the late Jerome Kern
Rodgers attended public school and
Columbia, where he composed the music for
the Varsity Show in 1920. BY coincidence,
Hammerstein, Columbia graduate, con-
tributed some of the lyrics. Hammerstein
had already written for Broadway by that
time, and Rodgers remembers that he looked
up to the man like god. When we shook
hands" he says, my hand trembled.''
Dxoadway Was Tough
RODGERS joined talents with another
Columbia man, an extraordinary little char
acter named Lorenz Hart who stood five feet
nothing in what was possibly the first pair
of elevator shoes manufactured in New
York. After writing another varsity show
with Hart, Rodgers left Columbia for the
Juilliard School of Music and studied under
Frank Damrosch. Composer Rodgers and
Lyricist Hart presently made their assault
on Broadway, but they found Broadway
very tough. They never got far beyond writ
ing amateur shows until 1925 Then the
discouraged Rodgers got phone call from
the Theatre Guild. The Guilds apprentice
actors wanted to stage Sunday-night show;
would Rodgers and Hart do the music?
That very day Rodgers had received
an offer of a job that he's a little
amused about now. Frankly, it was in
the babies underwear business, and the job
would have paid $50 week. 1t was tempt
ing. but he decided to give Broadway one
more try. He and Hart wrote the music for
the Sunday performance, and the result was
SO sensational that the Theatre Guild de-
cided to run it every night. The Garrick
Gaieties'' was the smart hit of the season.
70 Hts in 10 Years
FROM then on, the star of Rodgers and
Hart was in the ascendant In the next
18 years the famous team turned out the
almost unbelievable total of "a musical COM
edies. 20 of which were hits OF the nearly
1000 songs they wrote, about rs are still
played today, including my Heart Stood
Still, There's Small Hotel" Lover"
Ten Gents Dance. ""Blue Moon, with
Song in My Heart" The colorful story of
Rodgers and Hart is to be made into a
motion picture next spring.
The strange thing about their enormous
output was the fact that Hart, though bril-
liant lyricist, was highly eccentric. He dis
liked writing unless he was in the proper
mood, which was not often. Rodgers would

tried twice to cut taxes too, right
where it would do high prices the
most good. Where" he asked
again, where's this recession, and
all the serious thought about check

With that, the Communist walked
off, chuckling in his beard. My f.
nancial expert admitted he couldn't
answer him.
'Tt's this way" he said to me
afterward, people feel about infla-
ton the way they felt about sin.
Everybody is against it-but they
want to get theirs"
Some members of congress
averred their conviction that the
coal wage settlement wouldn't
touch off the powder key. But Sena-
tor Flanders, that keen Yankee
businessman from Vermont, was
worried.
'Tf big labor and big business

against the interests of the people,
then we must develop big govern
ment to deal with imitation. Big
government is move toward total
itarian government, and labor and
management are bringing us step
closer to totalitarian government.
That is something I view with
worse than alarm"
I can hear the Communists COM
ment on Flanders comment-the
old rubber-stamp MARKHAM shibbo-
leth: "Capitalism has within it the
seeds Of it's own destruction.

economic riddle-I'm no economist

and labor-at that time. The whole
country, despite the fact that bust
ness was booming, seemed to be
aware of the dangers of imitation.
furthermore, people were in the
mood to check extravagances (for
example, the Newburyport and
other price-cutting experiments). It

adjust inventories, bring down real
estate prices SO that people could
buy homes, reduce the cost of liv-
ing, and in general, take the wind
out of the sails of a boom that
might be followed by bust. That
was in April.
Well along about the middle of
July, the Communist ran into the
financial expert again. Again the
Communist was smiling.
''Well," he Ieered happily,
