‘Martini to Take ‘Long’ Vacation

Times Special HOLLYWOOD, July 5-—Tt will be 1938 before music lovers again will hear from the stage or over the air the golden voice of Nino Martini, Metropolitan opera tenor. His voice will come to them only from his current picture, “Music for Madame.” When that is finished, he will take a complete leave of absence for six months from opera, films, radio and concert work. “I'm just sung out,” he explained. “During the past season, the hardest of my career, I sang in four Metropolitan operas, in 48 concert performances and made 29 radio appearances, I feel I deserve a vacation, and I will not sing another note until next year.”

tossed in a blanket, mauled, manhandled, poked, tripped, climbed on and generally mistreated, but she still insists the Marx Brothers are “the finest people I know.” She has been proposed to by Groucho at least 5000 times.

Survives Many Bumps

And she lived through the filming of “A Day at the Races.” Before

five-a-day the show did on the road before it was photographed. And |

fan movies and many stage appearances. Miss Dumont was a successful | actress when she married John Moller Jr., of New York, member of a wealthy industrial family. She left the footlights for society, and for eight vears never went nearer the stage than the front row. Then her husband died, and she decided to return to her career. She appeared with Herbert Corthell in “Fifty-Fifty,” and in several George M. Cohan productions, then | the Marx Brothers saw her, and life | hasn't been the same since.

Provides Balance Wheel

Why is she their favorite foil? “I imagine the boys decided they needed a sort of balance wheel,” she explained. “Their crazy antics are even funnier when played in a dignified atmosphere. I was abie to provide the ‘grand dame’ manner,

comedy even more exaggerated. “Work is never boring with the Marxes. I never will forget a scene in one of their pictures when Harpo and IT had to do a wrestling match. He was tossing me around furiously

stand it another pered, ‘Hey, quit being so rough. Of course I laughed and spoiled the scene.” Because she plays the “grand dame” just as they want her piayed, Miss Dumont is the Marx Brothers’ favorite stooge—pardon, foii. That's why she is in so many of their pictures.

PIANIST DOING NICELY

The fellow who played the piano for the Ritz Brothers during rehearsal at the Harvard Inn on Coney Island for their first professional appearance has since gained fame as a comedian, too. He is Jimmy Durante, of “schnozzle” renown. The Ritz Brothers comedy trio currently are brewing their mad comedy for “You Can't Have Everything.”

Most, films today, however, are produced without the aid of such trick photography. The first camera crane, employing the principles now utilized in all camera cranes for the filming of scenes from unusual angles, is another of his contributions to the industry. A writer of ability, Oliver has written 42 ranch and desert short stories which have been published In national magazines. A series of 20 of his published stories soon will be put out in book form.
