HOLLYWOOD IS BUNK,'SNORTS SONG WRITER Everything Is Wrong Out There, Composer of Many Hits Asserts. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORIf, Oct. 24.—“Lovelove,” said L. Wolfe Gilbert, thumping industriously on one of the piano keys, “love—shove—above—dove.” Gilbert was writing a song. He has just returned from two years in Hollyw r ood and he h£te some scorching ideas about the talkie Capital. He is stopping in New York only long enough to write a song

Gilbert wrote, among other hits, “Ramona,” “My Little Dream Girl,” “O Katherina.” “I Miss My Swiss,” “Jeannine,” “Waiting For the Robert E. Lee,” and “Ragging the Baby to Sleep.” In the Broadway hotel room where he is working on anew song, he told the United Press how the talkies are affecting Tin Pan alley. Everything in Hollywood at the present time, he said, is woefully mismanaged. Everything is all higgledy-piggledy. Enough money is being wasted in the production of pictures to feed the unemployed all winter, he believes. Yet there is hope of improvement, “Picture this scene, for example.” he offered. “Here are twenty-five song writers in one company, each with a little cubbyhole of an office, all jammed up together. ‘We have to report for work every day. But there is no work for us. No songs to write. We can’t plait cards—it's against the rules. We can’t drink. So what do

we do? We sit around all day, day in and day out, playing spelling games. We go around and collect our big checks with the feeling that we are robbing the company.” As for the effect the talkies are having on song writing, Gilbert holds it is destructive, if anything. It used to be, he said, that a song writer sat down and wrote a song for the public. He knew pretty well

She’s in love with a Spaniard and he’s thrown her ovev. So they say write a song. “We’ve got to write it so Clara Bow can sing it. That is the greatest drag. Most of the movie stars can’t sing.
