I've known Diana Lynn since she
was Is years old. She is one Of the
few to start rs an adolescent in
Hollywood who learned something
while she was growing up. She is
now an intelligent, quiet, nice young
lady Of 21.
From now on I shall make about
three pictures a year." Diana, in a
blush tweed suit with cute feath-
cred hat, tells me at lunch. Through
a chain of circumstances, I've been
of the screen for more than year
7 was supposed to do Little Women
for David Selznick, and prepared for
1t for six months, before he decided
not to make 1t. Then was sup
posed to do The Sainted Sisters
with Betty Hutton, but she had
a baby.
$50 just after I was Al, made a
new kind Of deal with Paramount.
I'd been with them for seven years
and, while I'm terribly grateful to
them, had the feeling that they
were always saying, There's that
little Dolly Lehr' (Diana's real
name), and always thinking Of me
as kid
So now, after trying for her re-
lease for more than a year, Diana
has signed, a deal with Paramount
to make one picture year for them
for the next seven years. "If I'm
not willing to take chance on my
self as an actress now when I'm
young" Diana tells me, then I
never will" She says that so far
her semifreedom is working out
beautifully.
Plans Summer Stock.
IT also have signed to make one
movie a year with Producing
Artists" she continues. And I'm
now doing one on my own, Texas,
Heaven and Brooklyn and getting
paid more than my entire Para
mount salary last year." In this,
Diana plays a girl-"on the order Of
Jean Arthur. 1t starts IN Dallas
and goes to Brooklyn"

Rhapsody
NEW YORK.

Are you still playing, singing or
listening to the music of George
Gershwin?
The chances are that the answer
| is yes, since Gershwin's music is
more popular today-almost II years
after the composers death-than
ever before.
Can 1t be possible that the one
time Tin Pan Alley tunesnith, who
died tragically young at 80, will turn
out to be Americas most endur-
ing composer?
The long haired boys may be ex-
pected to hem and haw or to record
prompt no! But the record of
Gershwin's continuing and increas-
ing popularity is something you just
don't casually shrug off. The fact
remains that probably the most
widely known and popular modern
composition by an American Is a
Gershwin work.
That number is Rhapsody IN
| Blue"
The subject is particularly apropos
at this time because the Rhapsody
will have a birthday on February
12-its oath. Curiously. that Is
pretty close to the age Of the COM
poser when he hurriedly turned 1t
out on commission from Paul White
man In 1924.
There is no doubt that that date
February u, 1924-was a momentous
occasion in the history OF American
music. For it was on this Lincoln's
Birthday afternoon that Paul White
man elected to present his jazz con-
cert in Aeolian( not Carnegie) Hall.
Soon after Gershwin's death
many persons whose paths had
crossed that of the late composer
contributed "reminiscences to a
Gershwin book. In 1t Whiteman had
this comment:

conducted that far. Afterward
George told me he experienced the
same sensation. He cried, too,'
There have been several versions
of the composition and scoring OF
