TOPS IN POPS
BY BOB WILLIAMS

Sammy Kaye is ready to in
troduce a revolutionary new"
sound into the popular dance
music business. The maestro
will soon record a number of
old-time swing classics such
as begin the Beguine," "Sing,
Sing. Sing" and "Stompin' at
the Savoy" with full string or
chestra.
BY emitting the usual reeds
and brasses, and presenting
these all-time favorites in full
string arrangements, he plans
to give the familiar melodies
a new soft sound.

TURNTABLE TALK
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Taking the newest offer
ings in the Mozart bicenten-
NAL in the order Of rela-
tive novelty, first place must
certainly go to the collec-
ton of songs which Elisa
beth Schwarzkopf and Walter
Gieseking have jointly turned
out for Angel.
Mozart songs are general
ly ignored in about the
same proportion as Schubert's.
That is to say, a few dozen of
Schubert's 600-odd are regu-
larly sung, while with Mozart,
whose total output was only a
few dozen, public knowledge
seems largely limited to "Das
Veilchen." Up to this one
there wasn't even full LIP
of Mozart songs.
Sixteen of them are on
Angels disc, which thus is a
windfall. Most date from
Mozart's last few years, which
is a hint as to theiramusical
substance. Nine. SchwarZkopf
approaches them as If she, at
least, has no doubts about
their merits, and the accom-
paniment sounds as If Giesek-
ing did this sort of thing all
the time. All of which adds up
to rare pleasure.
Two of the songs - "Als
Luise die Briefe" and "Das
Traumbild"-were given away
by Mozart to a friend, Gott-
fried Won Joaquin. who
promptly published them as
his own, incidentally. Herr Won
Joaquin had better Judgment
than most of our singers.

GLASS HARMONICA
Among names of musical
instruments one of the most
confusing is marine trumpet"
which has nothing whatever
to do with either bodies Of
water or metal tubes. 1t is a
stringed instrument. An even
more confounding nomen-
clature, because not obsolete.
is "harmonica." a word which
properly denotes two entirely
unrelated musical instruments.
Richard Balm and w. A.
Mozart are making news with
harmonicas-both kinds. Mr..
Balm plays the mouth-organ
harmonica in the Navy Band,
and his repertoire includes
concertoS by Walton, Milhaud.
Vaughn Williams, and other
contemporary composers of
first rank. The harmonica.
while still a child's toy, while
still an inexpensive and handy
music-maker for the nonpro-
fessional, is also becoming. in
the hands of a few virtuosos
like Balm, something that ex-
cites the interest of audience
and composer alike.
The Matth. Hohner Co.,
which is to harmonious what
Stradivarius is to f1ddles, says
that the first harmonicaS were
made in Germany by one
Christian F. L. Buschmann in
1921. The instrument was
originally called the aura"
but soon for some unknown
reason began to be referred
to by its present name. The
word had been used also for
the instrument which had
reached its prime so years
before and had been written
for by Beethoven, Mozart and
Haydn-the glass harmonica.
This harmonica was q key
board instrument, the sound
OF which was produced from
glasses of different sizes, the
edges of which had been
moistened. 1t had no great at
traction for Beethoven, but
Mozart used 1t both as a solo
instrument and in chamber
music. Few. if any. of the old
instruments have survived,
and Mozart's music is now
played on piano or organ. But

Mae West Chorus Boy
Case Neors Jury Action

A slightly frazzled- lookine
jury was expected this after
noon to get the Municipal
Court case involving Mae West
and two of her battling muscle
men.
AS court recessed for lunch,
Defense Attorney Charles E.
Ford was still making his final
arguments. The prosecution
had rested its case against Mr..
California of 1913" who is ac-
cused of knocking ''Mr. Universe
of 1865" down ana out in Miss
Vests dressing room at a
Washington nightclub three
weeks ago.
The buxom. bouncing actress
was the last of a parade of wit
nesses during the day-long trial
yesterday to describe what hap
|pened between 30 pound
Charles (Chuck) Krauser, who
lis "Mr. California" in her chorus
boy show. and 230-pound Miklos
Mickey Hargitay. Mr.. Hargi-
Itay has also filed a 100000
damage suit against Miss West
and Mr.. Krauser.
Hargitay'S Version
Mr.. Hargitay's version: Il said
to Mr.. Krauser, Please be calm:
We are friends: is no reason to
get excited All of a sudden,
next thing I know. I was on
the floor"
Mr.. Krauser's version: 81
thought he was going to hit me.

until he let's me have it?"
Judge Almond SCOTS COM
ment: The trial will finish this
week, even if it takes night ses-
Sions."
A packed courtroom and intent
jury hung on every throaty syl-
liable as the woman for whom a
World War II lifejacket was
named gave her account.
1t all started, Miss West said

because a new MIR. Universe"
was about to be elected for 1856
and because Mr.. Hargitay had
missed a rehearsal for her show
in Washington, she was "demot-

said she told him:

divorcing you and charging you
with extreme cruelty. I have a
lot of women in my audience,
and I didn't think it was good
to build you up and have you
known as a man who was cruel
to his wife" #
She told Mr.. Hargitay's agent;
This bad publicity and using
my name has got to STOP" But
the agent said the way to stop
it was ito give Mr.. Hargitay a
one-year contract and a raise,
she said. Look, you" she said
she told him, "We'll stop it with
out a contract" She shook her
platinum curls.
So she called a press confer
ence in her dressing room to ex-
plain everything to Washington

in on the middle of the confer
ence, said a few words on his
own behalf and soon was lying
on the floor. victim of Mr.. Krau-

Study Of Project
By Urbcn Council

The District Commissioners to-
day were called upon to take
"oficial cognizance' of four
year-old proposal to build a mas
sive combined bus terminal. Of
flee building and shopping center
in the area bounded by Eighth.
Tenth, d and E streets NV.
The project, which would be
built at q cost of about 500 mil
lion, was revived by q letter from
Oscar H. Beasley. vice president
of Security Terminal Square.
This is a corporation formed ex-
pressly to build. own and operate
the structure.
Mr.. BeaSley specifically re-
quested that the city heads refer
his proposal to the Districts
Urban Renewal Council. What
he wants, he said, is an official
expression by the council as to
its willingness to arrange for
acquisition of the property in
question.
Explains Purchase Plan
Mr.. Beasley explained to The
Star that the site would be ac-
lquired under the District Re-
development Land Act through
procedures similar to those en-
ployed in Southwest redevelop-
ment Area B.
RIA would acquire the prop
erty, Mr.. Beasley explained, and
his corporation would in turn
purchase it for the desired de-
velopment from the land agency
According to his plans, he said,
the 2 million square feet of Office
space which he contemplates for
| the structures seven above
ground stories would be leased to
the Federal Government. The
lease would extend for i've years
under legislation passed by the
present session of Congress,
which removed a previous one
year leasing restriction.
Would Occupy 2 Blocks
The ground level would be
used for shopping facilities and
the three below-ground levels for
suburban and downtown buses,
and the parking of some 1,50O
automobiles. The lowest of the
three subsurface levels would be
devoted to vaults for Govern
ment storage, Mr.. Beasley ex-
Iplained.
Mr.. Beasley. a civil and valua-
ton engineer, said the structure
which would occupy two full
downtown blocks would span
Ninth street between D and E
streets.
