Irving Berlin Continues to Set Pace for Popular Song Writers Five Compositions Introduced in ‘Top Hat’ Are Hits; Seven Latest Coming in ‘Follow the Fleet.’ Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17.—After 25 years of composing music. Irving Berlin, once styled “the kipg of ragtime," still sets the pace for the world’s popular song writers.

Ragtime has become jazz and jazz has passed through several evolutionary stages since Mr. Berlin wrote his famous “Alexander's Ragtime Band," in 1911. Yet through all the cycles and changes Berlin not only has kept up with the music parade, but has been its leader. Os the five songs he wrote for the Fred Astaire-Ginger Rogers screen musical hit of 1935, "Top Hat,” all were popular successes. “Cheek to Cheek” stands out as one of the ranking songs of the year. The composer is to have seven of his latest songs introduced to the public in “Follow the Fleet.” Demonstrating the full range of the Berlin versatility the songs vary from a military march, “We Joined the Navy to See the World,” to a red-hot rhythm exemplified in “Let Yourself Go.” Sentimental ballads bear the titles “Here Am I, But Where Are You?” and “Face the Music and Dance.” The score also contains a situation song called “Get Thee Behind Me, Satan” and two novelty numbers, “I’d Rather Lead a

Band” and “I’m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket.” Director Issues Call for Year-Old Babies Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17.—A frantic call for 25 babies, all younger than one year old, has been issued by Director Henry Ki.ig, for supporting parts in the Diorme quintuplets’ picture, “The Country Doctor.” As actors of this age are not on regular casting lists, the studio has to depend on the public to supply this quota. The infants are to be used in a hospital ward scene which depicts a diphtheria epidemic. Remembered by Fans Jeanette MacDonald has a large collection of little animals fashioned of wood or porcelain sent to her by hundreds of fans.

Car, Bus Riders Laud Miss Dunne, T. en Turn to Discuss Movie s Problems

The accepted opinion about “drahma” critics and motion picture reporters is that they ride in limousines and give hurried instructions to liveried chauffers for their daily transportation. We can spike that opinion right now, because it so happens that we do all of our riding “to and from” on street cars and busses. All of which is by way of telling

Producer's Picture Wins Italy's Award Times Special HOLLYWOC D, Jan. 17.—David O. Selznick today had, been informed by the Italian government that his production of “Anna Karenina” had been awarded the Mussolini Cup by the International Motion Picture Exposition for the best film produced in 1935 in any country. The International Exposition informed Mr. Selznick that the cup was being forwarded to the local Italian consul, who would formally present it to him. In 1934, Mr. Selznick had been honored by the exposition, which chose his production of “Viva Villa” as the best American film of the year. Puppets Attract Actors' Interest Times Special HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17.—Puppet shows are the latest craze of the Hollywood screen colony, and scores of the stars are making an intensive study of the art and are installing miniature theaters in their home',. Not only are they learning the intricacies of manipulating puppets, but also the secret of making manikins. Margaret Callahan and Walter Abel are among the most ardent puppet students. They are studying under experts at the puppet theater in the Olivera section of the Mexican settlement in Los Angeles.

you that we have rarely heard a ’ movie so generally discussed, tom apart and rebuilt, praised and pounced upon, as "Magnificent Obsession.” If you haven't seen it yet you are to get a second week of opportunity at the Circle, starting todr y. J erhaps there are no “critics" so re bid, so quick to condemn and yet so thorough in their praise a.* the street car and bus movie boar is of review. There one can really get a candid opinion. And the general opinion seems to be in favor of the movie adaptation of one of the widest read novels in the last few years. We find very few of the street-car-and-bus “400” who have not read }he Lloyd C. Douglas book. Most of them liked it. They liked its dramatic flair, its fine style. What they didn’t like about it was the obvious preachiness. They have, in general, the same feeling about the picture. First of all, when two next-door neighbors get seated, and pile their market baskets safely about them, they praise Irene Dunne. “She’s such a nice, lovely actress,” they say. But quick as a flash, another “critic” comes back with a word of praise for Robert Taylor, the hero. “I thought he was too doll-like, just too good-looking in several of the scenes. Take that one in which he is shown driving Irene Dunne home. I didn’t ever expect it, but Hollywood’s got one leading man who will have to keep from being too good looking,” the first critic remarks. And so it goes. After while, the conversation drifts to the technical side of the picture. They all seem to like the direction. The bits that have been added to the story by Hollywood

'This Is He!' Wrong Shouts Instructor By United Press HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 17.—An “up-side-down” school has been established for Fred Stone on the “Farmer in the Dell” set. Mr. Stone, who has the title role in the production, must learn to slur his diction, mispronounce his words and use inverted grammar. Ben Holmes, director, is the teacher, and he is finding Mr. Stone a difficult pupil. The task was necessitated by the role of an illiterate farmer. “I spent years trying to perfect my diction after I left the Kansas farm where I was born and now I have to ‘un-lcarn’ all of it,” laughed the veteran actor.

specialists, to give the picture “dramatic punch,” seem to have “taken" with our “tram" discussion groups. It seems that most of the “regulars" in the movie public like to spend their spare moments, grabbed whenever possible from solving their awn problems, in the solving of those peculiai puzzles which the screen projects. That's another reason why they like “Magnificent Obsession." So, if the street corner and crowded bus folk are serious about their interest in “Magnificent Obsession,” there will be a lot of tickettaking at the Circle this next week. On the Circle program besides the feature, is the news reel specialty “Camera Thrills.” And it's not just another news reel. It's made up of the thrilling portions of many news events of the past. It's gruesome, chilling and interesting. (By J. W. TANARUS.) Armstrongs Prepare for British Journey By United Press HOLLYWOOD.
