Question: Which film has the director who died earlier, Roadhouse Nights or Alexander'S Ragtime Band (Film)?

<P0-S0> It was directed by Henry King <P0-S1> Alexander's Ragtime Band is a 1938 musical film released by 20th Century Fox that takes its name from the 1911 Irving Berlin song" Alexander's Ragtime Band" to tell a story of a society boy who scandalizes his family by pursuing a career in ragtime instead of in" serious" music. <P0-S2> The film generally traces the history of jazz music from the popularization of Ragtime in the early years of the 20th century to the acceptance of swing as an art form in the late 1930s using music composed by Berlin. <P0-S3> The story spans more than two decades from the 1911 release of its name- sake song to some point in time after the 1933 release of" Heat Wave", presumably 1938. <P0-S4> It stars Tyrone Power, Alice Faye, Don Ameche, Ethel Merman, Jack Haley and Jean Hersholt. <P0-S5> Several actual events in the history of jazz are fictionalized and adapted to the story including the tour of Europe by Original Dixieland Jass Band, the global spread of jazz by U.S. soldiers during World War I, and the 1938 Carnegie Hall performance by The Benny Goodman Orchestra. <P0-S6> There are no mentions of the primary importance of blacks in creating and playing jazz anywhere in the film. <P0-S7> The story was written by Berlin himself, with Kathryn Scola, Richard Sherman( 1905 – 1962) and Lamar Trotti. <P0-S8> It is believed by some that both the song and the movie were inspired by a real bandleader, Alexander Constantin Jr. of New Orleans( also known as" King" Watzke), and his band, Alexander's Ragtime Band, which was popular c. 1904- 11. <SEP> <P1-S0> He wrote hundreds of songs, many becoming major hits, which made him famous before he turned thirty. <P1-S1> Irving Berlin( born Israel Isidore Beilin;; May 11, 1888 – September 22, 1989) was an American composer and lyricist, widely considered one of the greatest songwriters in American history. <P1-S2> His Broadway musical and 1943 film" This is the Army", with Ronald Reagan, had Kate Smith singing Berlin's" God Bless America" which was first performed in 1938. <P1-S3> Composer Douglas Moore sets Berlin apart from all other contemporary songwriters, and includes him instead with Stephen Foster, Walt Whitman, and Carl Sandburg, as a" great American minstrel" — someone who has" caught and immortalized in his songs what we say, what we think about, and what we believe." <P1-S4> Composer George Gershwin called him" the greatest songwriter that has ever lived", and composer Jerome Kern concluded that" Irving Berlin has no" place" in American music—he" is" American music." <P1-S5> Berlin's songs have reached the top of the charts 25 times and have been extensively re-recorded by numerous singers including The Andrews Sisters, Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Al Jolson, Fred Astaire, Ethel Merman, Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Elvis Presley, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Linda Ronstadt, Rosemary Clooney, Cher, Diana Ross, Bing Crosby, Sarah Vaughan, Ruth Etting, Fanny Brice, Marily n Miller, Rudy Vallée, Nat King Cole, Billie Holiday, Doris Day, Jerry Garcia, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Ella Fitzgerald, Michael Buble, Lady Gaga, and Christina Aguilera. <P1-S6> Over the years he was known for writing music and lyrics in the American vernacular: uncomplicated, simple and direct, with his stated aim being to" reach the heart of the average American," whom he saw as the" real soul of the country." <P1-S7> His music forms a great part of the Great American Songbook. <P1-S8> During his 60- year career he wrote an estimated 1,500 songs, including the scores for 20 original Broadway shows and 15 original Hollywood films, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards. <P1-S9> He also was an owner of the Music Box Theatre on Broadway. <P1-S10> Born in Imperial Russia, Berlin arrived in the United States at the age of five. <P1-S11> He published his first song," Marie from Sunny Italy", in 1907, receiving 33 cents for the publishing rights, and had his first major international hit," Alexander's Ragtime Band" in 1911. <P1-S12> In doing so, said Walter Cronkite, at Berlin's 100th birthday tribute, he" helped write the story of this country, capturing the best of who we are and the dreams that shape our lives." <P1-S13> Berlin died in 1989 at the age of 101. <P1-S14> " Alexander's Ragtime Band" sparked an international dance craze in places as far away as Berlin's native Russia, which also" flung itself into the ragtime beat with an abandon bordering on mania." <SEP> <P2-S0> He was involved in over 60 films either as an actor or director or both in his twenty- year career, between 1914 and 1934 when he retired from filmmaking. <P2-S1> Hobart Henley( born Hess Manassah Henle; November 23, 1887 – May 22, 1964) was an American silent film actor, director, screenwriter and producer. <SEP> <P3-S0> Henry King( January 24, 1886 June 29, 1982) was an American actor and film director. <P3-S1> Seven films directed by King were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. <SEP> <P4-S0> As this appears to be the earliest dated reference to" Tiger Rag", many believe Watzke's claim to have been its composer. <P4-S1> He had several siblings. <P4-S2> Even though, for the motion picture, the name and city were changed, the basics of the story appear to ring true, according to family members, and New Orleans jazz history aficionados. <P4-S3> It is believed by some that Watzke and his band," Alexander's Ragtime Band", were the real- life inspiration for Irving Berlin's 1911 song," Alexander's Ragtime Band", and the 1938 movie of the same name, Alexander's Ragtime Band( Movie). <P4-S4> Jazz Royalty <P4-S5> His father, Alexander Constantin Watzke, Senior, was a successful businessman, in the hide and fur trade, who immigrated to New Orleans from Germany circa 1851; he had served one term in the Louisiana State Legislature and was a leader in the German community of New Orleans; he and his family resided in a large mansion, since demolished, on South Rampart Street. <P4-S6> Jazz afficionados in New Orleans and elsewhere, and the Watzke family worldwide are commemorating the 100th anniversary of the death of King Watzke, the nearly forgotten jazz great of the early days of the genre, in January 2019. <P4-S7> There had been some confusion, however, as an obituary published in the" New Orleans Times- Picayune" referred to the death of another Alexander Watzke almost a decade later, on June 2, 1928, but that person has now been established to have been the nephew of" King" the jazz musician. <P4-S8> Alex( King) Watzke is buried in the family grave in the St. Joseph Cemetery in New Orleans. <P4-S9> Although there had been some uncertainty or controversy about when he died, it has now been established that King Watzke died in 1919, in the Spanish flu pandemic. <P4-S10> The following were reported to have been members of the band: Violin or Bass Viol- King Watzke( leader); Trumpet- Jimmy Kendall; Clarinet- Freddie Burns; String Bass- Buzz Harvey, Emile Bigard; Guitar- Jimmy Ruth, Pat Shields. <P4-S11> It was reported that he gave coins to children in New Orleans' French Quarter to announce his coming," Here comes King Watzke". <P4-S12> Watzke decided to bill himself as" King" after the example of Buddy Bolden. <P4-S13> An obituary was published in" The New York Times", and his inscription on the family tombstone in New Orleans suggests a date of death on January 14, 1919. <P4-S14> Because sound recordings were new in that era, no recordings of Watzke or his band are known to have survived. <SEP> <P5-S0> Roadhouse Nights is a 1930 American Pre-Code gangster film. <P5-S1> A number of sources including Sally Cline in her book" Dashiell Hammett Man of Mystery" claim it is based on the classic novel" Red Harvest" written by Dashiell Hammett( author of" The Maltese Falcon The Thin Man", and" The Glass Key"). <P5-S2> However the credits of the film itself say only" An Original Screenplay by Ben Hecht." <P5-S3> Hammett receives no mention at all( and the plots are not similar). <P5-S4> The movie, an unusual amalgam of musical comedy and gangster melodrama, was directed by Hobart Henley, stars Helen Morgan, Charles Ruggles, and Fred Kohler, and features a rare screen musical comedy performance by Jimmy Durante, in his screen debut, with his vaudeville partners Lou Clayton and Eddie Jackson(" Clayton, Jackson, and Durante"). <P5-S5> Helen Morgan also sings" It Ca n't Go On Like This."
