Start the Music

NEW YORK.-Music is one,
from rock n roll to a Bach
chorale. S. Arthur Schwartz,
who enjoys all forms of music,
finds jerome Kern's first endur-
ing success, They Didn't Be-
lieve Me-" as beautiful as any
symphonic theme. Schwartz

mer, I Love You" Harold
Arlen, author of too many hits
to list here, came upon his career
when he was rehearsal pianist for
a Vincent Youmans show called
Great Day." Playing the title
tune over and over, Arlen de-
vised a counter-melody for the
fun Of it. Ted Koehler set a lyric
to it. The result was Get

himself a new problem with each

mercial success was "Rosalie," a
movie title piece he dashed of

that he had labored over failed

"Oh, Kay" was forgotten. .
And Gershwin's i've Got a

must be noted that this is the
only aspect of his direction there
will be any carping about today.
He does bring of lot Of eff
fective storytelling with his Gin
IemaScope cameras-Sentimental
but pictorially effective.
There are several aspects of
"The Eddy Duchin Story" that
do relieve the woe somewhat and
they may be enough to retrieve
the picture for you. One is Ty-
rome Powers playing of the title
role. Another is Kim Novak's
portrayal of Marjorie Oelrichs.
The third is the lush sound track
featuring Carmen Cavallaro.
Power, as nobody needs to be
told, is an actor of perception
and there are times when you
can almost see (through the
tears) that broad Duchin smile.
His portrait of the fondly-
remembered pianist is a most
reasonable facsimile of the origi-
nal, even when he is seeming to
play the piano.
Miss Novak, it may disappoint
some feminine members of the
audience to discover, is more
than Just an uncommonly pretty
girl. She can act with some au-
thority, too. and her portrait of
Marjorie Oelrichs has depth and
credibility.
Mr.. Cavallaro adds the music
to Mr.. Powers Duchin and at
times he sounds more like Du-
chin than like Cavallaro. He
has a wide range of numbers to
Ireprise-"M Manhattan" Harvest
Moon" Dizzy Fingers" Sunny
Side of the Street." Brazil" La
Vie en- Rose" and. of course,
You're My Everything" 1t is
all pretty wonderful to hear.
The contributions these three
make to the recall of Eddy Du-
chin and his music are outstand-
ing enough almost to counter
balance the sadness. If you can
spare the handkerchiefs there is
some fine piano playing avail
able at the TranS-Lux.
NUMBER TWO With "The
Pajama Game" already installed
at the National Theater for an
indefinite stay, we get our second
musical hit of the summer to-
night. This. of course, is Carmen
JONES'" Oscar Hammerstein's
reworking and enlivening of the
Bizet opera, which moves into
the Carter Barron Memorial
Amphitheater for IA perform
ances. This is the same revival
production recently done to cri-
tical huzzahs at the New York
City Center, with Mural Smith
and William Dupree singing the
leading roles.

memory is wearing a broad grin.
He'd laugh right out loud
could he see THE Eddy Duchin
Story" which Columbia Pictures
has wrapped UP in a large,
Technicolor, CinemaScope pack
age with Tyrone Power and
Kim Novak. 1t is highly I'M
likely that MI. D. ever figured
to wind up as the central figure
in a soap opera, even a two
hour soap opera with music.
That's what the new film at the
Trans-Lux is. though. a real
Weeper.
The Duchin saga, as set forth
IN Samuel Taylor's screenplay,
begins with his arrival in New
York. He meets Marjorie Oelrichs
the first day and almost i'm
mediately is playing intermiSsion
piano at the Central Park
Casino. They marry and in no
time at all he is leading his own
band at the Casino, dazzling the
socialites.
So far the poetic license taken
Is within the limits of human
tolerance, but things deteriorate
rapidly. At first the happiness of
the DuchinS is marred only by
grim forebodings because Mar
jorie gets the shoulders when the
wind blows.
Then, in the midst of holiday
festivities, Mrs. Duchin has a son
and dies in what may be the
stickiest deathbed scene Kim
Novak ever will play. Duchin, as
1T is set forth here, quits New
York and goes into a decline of
morale from which he is
snatched only by the war.
y X X
The fact is that Duchin, while
he did mourn his wife and many
thought he never would marry
again, did not go off incoming in
the boondocks. His band con-
tinued for several years at the
Plaza in New York, then he
moved to the Waldorf, all the
while becoming famous as THE
Ten Magic Fingers of Radio"
He also made some movies.
1t may seem like quibbling,
but Eddy Duchin couldn't have
been on the radio every season
from 1888 until he enlisted in
the Navy if life had been this
fearful. Director George Sidney
must like it sad. though. for he

Urban League last week attirbut-
ed the Negroes low wage income to
job discrimination, lack Of educa-

tive attitude within the Negro

The League said that the Ne
gro's psychological attitude about
himself and his future is much to
blame for his poor preparations.
The group further stipulated
that the Negro has assumed a
negative attitude of resignation to
a lower status job. This is caused
in many cases by the passing on
of such an attitude from parent
to child, who therefore has no
incentive either to prepare him.
