"HERE COMES THE BAND" WITH TED LEWIS IS BANG-UP MOVIE

Music Wins Plaudits of Show-Goers It’s Dandy Film Despite Some Bad Cutting by the Studios. BY JOHN YV. THOMPSON That o*d battered velvet top-hat which Ted Lv.wis has tipped for every President since Theodore Roosevelt, is being twisted, twirled and tossed into the air again by the inimitable Mr. Lewis in his first movie, "Here Comes the Band,” now r at Loew's Theater. The picture is. despite a confused continuity, a bang-up musical. Its success is due mostly to Mr. Lewis, Nat Pendleton and Ted Healy. The singing of Harry Stockwell, new leading man, is splendid. As an actor he has been plucked far too soon. The story of "Here Comes the Band” is wrapped around a young singer from the West (Mr. Stockwell) who writes a song, sings it on an amateur radio program and wins the medal. But a publisher, feigning interest in the composition, steals the melody. The Cutting Badly Done With the aid of his pal (Mr. Healy) and his pal's friend, Ted Lowry (Mr. Lewis), w’ho gets together the band he directed during the war, and with the aid of the girl the young singer loves, a case against the song-thief is made and all turns out happily. In cutting the p.cture, someone has shattered the continuity in several places so that the spectator is not sure just where the action is taking place or for what reason. This, of course, is not to the credit of the film. But Jthe music is grand, and Mr. Lewis, if any thing, is better on the screen than he is on stage. After his "Songs of Yesteryear" number (which he did last year on Loew’s stage) one could almost feel the crunch of the peanuts beneath one's feet. And Charlie (Snowball) Whittier, who threw the peanuts all over Mr. Farrar's Palace floor last year, tosses tons of them in "Here Comes the Band.” And, yes, they do that "Me and My Shadow” number. A Baby Song—And Spanky! If all this doesn’t make you applaud Mr. Lewis' showmanship, then it merely remains for you to wait for his traditional theme song. "When My Baby Smiles at Me,' which is delightfully embellished in "Here Comes the Band,” by the appearance of little Spanky McFarland. Virginia Bruce is a little tragic as the leading lady, but that doesn't make much difference with Mr. Pendleton and Mr. Healy around. It may not be according to movieland Hoyle, it may not be another "Top Hat” or "Broadway Melody,” but "Here Comes the Band” is assuredly a topping desert for Ted Lewis fans. With "Here Comes the Band” on the Loew's program is Claudette Colbert in "She Married Her with Melvyn Douglas and Michael Bartlett. Studios Now Editing 'Wings Over Ethiopia" By Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 7. Paramount studios have set the title, ‘‘Wings Over Ethiopia,” for its release of the full-length motion picture of Ethiopia, including sound interviews with Haile Selassie. The film, which was made by L. Wechsler, Swiss film producer, is now being edited and scored with musical accompaniment. It will be shown as soon as the studio has completed it swork.

Radio Fame Seekers Worry New York P;i I'nited Press NEW YORK. Oct, 7.—Would-be radio entertainers, flocking to New York to try for amateur program prizes, worried the Emergency Relief Bureau today. Officials disclosed a situation reminiscent of Hollywood's stranded youth, attracted by the movies. Some 300 fame-and-fortune seekers, disillusioned and destitute, come to the bureau weekly, its records showed. Among these are many who momentarily succeeded, but failed to find steady employment. x Lee, the Guinea Tig Boy The first business venture of Lee Tracy, featured in "Two-Fisted,” was a guinea pig farm, which he conducted profitably in the basement of his boyhood home until it was driven out by an exasperated Negro cook. Marlene Turn* Photographer Marlene Dietrich, co-starring with Gary Cooper in “Desire,” is an amateur photographer. She develops and prints snapshot negatives in a darkroom she has set up in her home. Duncan Returns to Screen William Duncan, star of silent serials and at one time the highest salaried actor in films, returns to the screen after an absence of 11 years, with a featured role in Zane Grey's story, “Nevada.” Seven Stand-Ins Working There are seven stand-ins working in "Eylvia Scarlett,” Katharine Hepburn’s new starring picture. Thare are generally stand-ins for just the star and perhaps one or two other important players. Georgia Arrives in Hollywood Georgia Coleman, Olympic diving champion, has arrived at the studios. She will play the role of a swimming teacher In “Collegiate,” with Joe Penner and Jack Oakie.

Screen Star Recalls Her Hoosier Days Elizabeth Patterson Talks About ‘First Nights’ In Indianapolis. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct, 7. "Mrs. Mendelharper,” the undertaker’s widow in “A Very Good Young Man” was at home. In fact, Miss Elizabeth Patterson was very much at home in her lovely apartment here when I arrived. Miss Patterson, great character actress of both stage and screen, is best remembered in Indianapolis for her portrayal of “Mrs. Mendelharper” while with the Stuart Walker company at the Murat many years ago. She since has become a Broadway star and one of the two chief character actresses at Paramount. She Recalls Indianapolis Miss Patterson had just ended some scenes in “So Red the Rose” in which she takes the part of Mary Cherry. "Indianapolis,” she reminisced, “was wonderful to me. Our first nights were marvelous.” "Many times,” she recalled, "I was so nervous on those first nights that I nearly made myself ill with worry. Would they like me? Would they be good? What would I do if I went up in my lines? “Then came the entrance applause and I always looked around a little dizzily to find something to lean against.” Happy in Hollywood “I’m happy here,” she said. “I find pictures interesting—and a good way to earn money. “I do get homesick for New York and the stage. That always happens when I read of some show opening. “I’ve just heard that Tom Powers and Mac Kay Morris are hits in a New York Guild show. We were all together with Stuart in Indianapolis and Cincinnati.” She Pines for New York “If I could just get away occasionally to New York and act in a limited run play,” she mourned, "everything would be perfect here. I want to feel an audience. To hear the applause which is the most wonderful thing in all the world.” Hundreds of Indianapolis persons may remember often seeing Miss Patterson poring over play script in University Park. "University Park was nearly a home for me,” she laughed. “I did as much studying there as possible.” "Indianapolis liked our work,” she concluded wistfully. "Tell the folks back home that moving pictures will never take the place of the stage and real audiences.”

Sleds Move Picture Sets Across Desert By Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Oct. 7. North Pole equipment in the Arizona desert where the temperature reaches 125 degrees in the shade was the contradictory sight that greeted the natives of Yuma when "The Last Outpost” company arrived to film added scenes. Heavy sand prevented moving of equipment except by sled, so huge sledges were built to be drawn by horses and tractors across the desert to the location spot. Members of the company, including Cary Grant, traveled to the location either on horseback or aboard the tractor-drawn sleds.

'Oh, What to Do With Opera Stars? , Film Moguls Wail Movie Producers Soon Will Have Problem of Providing Singers With Original Material. BY DAN THOMAS . HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 7.—Now that Hollywood has become so ‘ grand opera minded” that it virtually has a corner on operatic talent, studio executives are beginning to wonder “Where do we go from here?”

So far the road has been smooth. Grace Moore's “One Night of Love” created an operatic cycle that has rolled along on its own momentum. All pictures featuring the vocal celebrities have followed that picture's formula rather closely. Each has contained a thread of a love story and each has given its star opportunity to sing several arias from popular operas, with the final warbling usually being done in the Metropolitan Grand Opera House. Arias Nearly Exhausted Now, however, the producers are facing the necessity of doing something different with their songbirds. Not only is the public beginning to tire of seeing the same formula dumped into the pot, but the arias from popular operas are rapidly being exhausted. So far these arias have been used by Miss Moore in two films and by Lawrence Tibbett, Lily Pons, Gladys Swarchout, Nino Martini and Mary Ellis in one picture each. And they all have contracts for more productions. In addition the movies have their own singers—Jeanette MacDonald, Nelson Eddy, Irene Dunne, John Boles and Michael Bartlett, all of whom excel in classical numbers. Opera Stars Real Problem Then there are a dozen or more others whose forte is popular numbers. These cause the producers no worry. Plenty of song writers take care of them. The opera stars are the real problem. The public has indicated that it wants these people. But it doesn’t want them to remain in the mold already cut. And it’s for the producers to decide what shape the new mold should assume. That's what is giving them gray hair. They actually don't what to do. “Right now I can thnk of only two possible solutions.” declares Ernst Lubitsch, Paramount production chief. “One is the development of original operas for the screen. However, there is considerable doubt as to whether our present crop of

Once a recklessly alert newspaper man, then a rough-and-tumble miner, now a bearded, dignified scientist —that’s the life for movie actor Paul Muni, who has assumed as great a variety of character parts as any actor in Hollywood. Here he is, resting between scenes, as Louis Pasteur, the famous French chemist. And that beard, you should know, is home grown, not makeup.

'Love in Bloom' Wins Top Spot Played 24,374 Times Over Radio During Year. Love is in bloom all over America, At least it is if the popularity of the tune "Love in Bloom,” written by Leo Robin and Ralph Rainger, and introduced by Bing Crosby, is any indication. According to the annual report of popular music popularity by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, "Love in Bloom” was played 24,374 times over the radio, emanating from 674 key stations. During the peak of its popularity the song was played on an average of ten times each day. The sheet music sale of the piece, •which Bing Crosby sang first in the picture "College Humor" reached huge proportions during 1934. More than 500,000 copies were sold. Before the advent of radio, a good song used to sell up to 2,000,000 copies. The average sale of a popular song today is 229,000 copies. According to the society’s report, “All I Do Is Dream of You" written by Necio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, was second in popularity, with 23,910 performances over the radio and a sheet sale of 240,000 copies. Third on the list was “Carioca,” by Vincent Youmans, Gus Kahn and Edward Eliscu. This song was played over radio a total of 23,754 times, but sold only 100.000 copies.

Actor Camps Out at De Luxe Malibu By Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 7.—Joe Morrison has moved to Malibu Beach. But not into one of the elaborate residences that fringe this strand made famous by the movie stars. He is camping out in his automobile trailer, de luxe style, being attended by his cook and valet. The actor is on a vaccation after completing “It’s a Great Life.”

song writers could adapt themselves to this medium, which they never before have attempted. “The old solution is for the singing stars to turn to popular numbers. In my opinion this would satisfy the public. I believe they are primarily interested in the voices of the stars. I don’t think it matters a great deal what type of songs they sing as long as they are good.” Lubitsch sums up pretty well the opinion of the industry. Nevertheless, studio bosses are trying to find still another approach to this problem. They have heavy investments in their songsters. And they must get their money back somehow. “Outsider” Gets Lead Role Three former Wampus Baby stars have tiny roles in “Coronado,” while the feminine lead was handed to & girl, Betty Burgess, who had never before seen a movie camera.

Talk About Hobbies and You're Set! For That’s Spot Nearest Hearts of Filmland's ‘Top Ten.’ BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Staff Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 7.—Nobody ever accused Hollywood's glamorous sons and daughters of being too modest. It must be admitted that nearly all of them are well aware of their particular talents—apparently an essential quirk in the minds of successful actors. But when you consider the fact that every week they receive thousands of letters praising them to the skies, the celluloid crowd are a pretty modest lot. Seldom do you hear them crowing from the housetops—at least not about their acting. But they'll boast about other talents. In fact, some of the most retiring will talk an arm off you if you get them started on the right subject. But in Hollywood selfglorification in a hobby isn’t regarded as bragging. Mr. Gable and Lions For instance, Clark Gable is one of the most modest men in the entire film colony. Yet he'll spend an hour telling you how he outsmarted a mountain lion on a hunting trip. Just mention his acting, and he'll say, “Aw, that’s a lot of baloney,” and shut up like a clam. Marlene Dietrich is the same way when it comes to discussing her own histrionic abilities. And she’s equally tight-lipped about men. But just get her started on photography and she'll go into great detail about how she spent a whole morning stalking a squirrel to get an unsual picture of it. Dix—Diaper Changer If you really want to hear Richard Dix talk volubly, you have to bring up the subject of ranching—or babies. Richard thinks he has most farmers backed into a corner when it comes to raising turkeys. And as for changing a baby’s diapers, you'd think he held all world records since his twins were born. Lily Pons has proved herself a very poor conversationalist as regards her operatic career. But she is practically in a class with Clyde Beatty when it comes to training animals. You can’t visit her home without watching her three dogs, her cat, and her parrot strut their stuff. And she's very proud of the fact that she personally trained every one of them. Take Gary Cooper And strong, silent Gary Cooper isn’t a bit silent when the subject is hunting or racing automobiles. Gary considers himself pretty much of an authority on both subjects. That’s the way these movie folk are. Deep down in their hearts they know their first interest is in acting because that, after all, is what keeps them alive. But they won’t admit it even to themselves, much less somebody else. They much prefer to think of themselves as living for their hobbies.

Lionel Barrymore Given Voodoo' Role To Lionel Barrymore, who is appearing this week at the Circle Theater in ‘‘The Return of Peter Grimm,” has fallen the job of enacting the title role in his next picture, “’The Witch of Timbuktu,” which Tod Browning will direct. The “Wtich” is a French capitalist, wrongly convicted and sent to Devil’s Island. He escapes and with the aid of voodoo magic wreaks havoc with those who “framed” him. Guy Endore, who wrote “The Werewolf of London,” was one of the authors of the story. Browning was another. He is to be remembered for his “Dracula” production and his direction of pictures for Lon Chaney. Fill Cast for Comedy Film Jack Haley, RGseoe Karns, William Frawley and Lynne Overman have been prominently cast in the comedy film, “F Man.” Production will begin soon.
