store. But for three years before that he worked on the sets at Metro - Goldwyn • Mayer, playing music for the various star' He knows, for instance, that w-hen Greta Garbo is to play a tense scene, she will tie insnired by

listening to the "Peer Gynt" suites, to “Tristan and Isolde" or to DebuMjr’s “Afternoon of a Faun." Or, if it is to bi a crysnt scene, she likes the Swedish folk-song, I “O Vermland," or Grieg s "Heart Wounds" and “The Last Spring." Or if it’s a love scene, her choice is Richard Strauss' " Rosenkavalier . Waltz,” Mendelssohn's "On Wings of Song," Richard Wagner’s "Alj bumblatt,” or most recently, | “Vienna, City aof My Dreams?' this during the filming of “Grand | Hotel.” Joan Crawford, on the other hand, hkes to cry alter listening to Bing Crosby, and, before love scene.-, she chooses "Estralita,” or melodies from “La Boheme" and "Madame Butterfly." Ramon Novarro is an accom plished musician and has a wide choice For dramatic . t-enes, however, he usually calls for sym phonies. Bill Haines doesn'J care very much what is played And Anita Page likes "St. I ouis Blues" and "Manhattan Serenade" for al most any mood.
