bling, irresistible hit songs Tor such lumnarleS as
the Astaires, Gertrude Lawrence, Ethel Mer-
man and Ginger Rogers, Gershwin wrote his
Rhapsody In Blue, and beamed in stage box
while Paul Whiteman introduced IT in 1924.
In 1923, Gershwin finally fen into the orbit Of
the great Florenz Zegfeld - great at spotting
beautiful girls, that is. but tone deaf, and incred-
IDLY absent-minded when il came to paying
royalties. Al a dinner given by Ziegfeld when he
signed Gershwin, a prominent banker declared,
"Some day George will be genius, but geniuses
must suffer and George hasn't suffered yet. -
Ziegfeld, who knew his own shortcomings,
promised, ''He'n suffer-
George loved to go to parties, and thought
nothing Of playing the entire score Of forth
coming musical for his multitudinous friends.
This practice irked George s. Kaufman when
the two coIlaborated on the Pulitzer Prize-win-
ming "Of Thee Sing 'sPlay that score once
more before we Open," Kaufman observed,
''and people win think it's revival
Kaufman also deplored Gershwin's genial
habit Of inviting everybody he met to sit in on
rehearsals. After one run-through, Kaufman
soIemnly predicted, This play is going to be a
historic failure 'What makes you say that?"
asked Gershwin. "The balcony was only half
filed" said Kaufman.
Gershwin cannIy reserved one unpublished
little waltz tune for affairs Of the heart. Ex-
tremely impressionable, he would tell girl after
girl, 'You're the kind Of radiant beauty who
makes me feel like composing a song" Unfeel-
ing friends would tiptoe after him to hear him
compose the familiar tune for her. at win be
dedicated to you" he would conclude. The
system was foolproof.
The Origin o. '.Porsy"
Dubose Heyward's novel, "Porgy," was first
published in 1925. Hayward, working as a cot
ton checker on a dock in his native Charles
ton, s. c., became intrigued with the primitive,
cheerful GuIlah, or Low Country, Negroes who
worked under him, and followed them to their
picturesque native quarter, Cabbase Row. There
he heard Of crippled beggar named Sammy
Smalls, whose only means Of transportation was
a rickety goat cart, and who had been arrested
for attempting to shoot his girl friend.
Cabbage Row was renamed Catfish Row by
Hayward, and his story, he confided later, prac-
ticaIy wrote ITSELF" Two years after the books

But its biggest triumph was yet to come.

The biggesf news in movies this year is the
81 million Samuel GoIdWym production of George
GerShwn's :" PoEey And BeSs." Bennett Cert, our

him 10 write this story in place of his regular
weekly column. The EDITORS
Samuel Goldwyn's fabulous motion picture
production of ''Porgy And Bess" win bring to
full cycle the world triumph of George Gersh-
wins greatest work, and the only pity is that the
composer could not have lived to see it. When
a brain tumor cut short his career at the age Of
SO, in 1897, "Porgy And Bess" had achieved so
little of the success it merited that the executors
Of Gershwin's estate appraised it at nominal"
or inconsequential value, whereas they rated
Rhapsody In Blue" at $4,000.
How could score that included such time
less melodies as Summertime, = Il Got Plenty
O. Nothin - '.BeSs, You Is My Woman Now"
st Amt Necessarily So" and There's A Boat
That's Leavn' Soon For New York" have
failed to receive the instant acclaim Of the crit
les? This is a question that broke the heart Of
George Gershwin. II was one Of the few major
disappointments in his meteoric career.
First fste AZ u
George Gershwin was born in Brooklyn, in
1898, the second Of four children. Ira, whose
sparkling lyrics were so perfectly attuned to
Georges music, was the eldest. The family grew
into rapturous mutual admiration society, and
George matured with a bump Of monumental
but strangely unobectionable conceit. "YOu
must talk to my mother" he told me the first
time We met ssShe,s The most wonderful mother
In the world - and 50 modest about meP'
Gershwin's first big hit was la, La Lucille, "
written when he was 81. The same year - 1919
- he wrote couple of numbers for the opening
Of Broadway's biggest movie palace, the Capri
toll. One of the numbers was "Swanee," still
trumpeted regularly on radio and TV.
After composing the score for five successive
George Whites Scandals, Gershwin really hit
the jackpot with such resounding successes as

and "Girl Crazy" Besides turning out bub-

Spotlight
Is Now On
Master Plan
0Iney
By Sheila Fleishell
Walker 1914

AS the December II hearing
date for the Rock Creek Water
shed master plan approaches, a
great deal of interest is build
ing up. At last Tuesdays meet
ing of the Olney Rotary Club
the spotlight was thrown on
many aspects of the plan. Guest
speaker for the evening was
Melvin A. Robinson, the Silver
Spring realtor, who is chairman
of the Upper Rock Creek Val
ley Landowners Association,
and who also represents many
of the larger landowners in the
Norbeck- Olney-Redlands area.
Mr.. Robinson expressed the
view that the provisions of the
plan calling for a great deal of
one and two-acre coming for the
area were detrimental to future
development. He pointed out
that. in his opinion, sewer and
water facilities should be made
available to this part of the
county but that the plan, as it
now stands, would make this
virtually impossible.
