Make an Odd Pair o on ‘That's Right—You’re Wrong’ Set

By PAUL HARRISON Times Special Writer HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 16. — Kay Kyser, the dance-bandmaster, and Adolph| Menjou, the articulate fashion-plate, are having quite a time in their association as the top names in RKQO’s “That's Right —Youre Wrong.” The trouble centers mostly on clothes. Mr. Kyser cheerfully admits being the sloppiest, most disreputable-looking individual in the entertainment world. Mr. Menjou, on the other hand, has been noted for many years for his impeccability. The correct cut of the back, the right tie, a pearl stud, a carefully arranged flower— these things are his forte. When he meets Mr. Kyser on _ the set he is almost tearful in his attempts to inject a little line into Mr. Kyser's appearance. To date it has been of no use. Mr. Kyser is not interested. . Y 2 =#'2

MR. KYSER seems to be less impressed than any other newcomer by Hollywood. He never had the faintest idea of becoming an actor, even after studios began to offer him and his band spots in pictures. The plots were all ~like, anyway; Junknown orchestra becomes famous overnight, and leader marries beautiful singer. He accepted this RKO job "be-

Kyser . . . sloppy.

cause the plot is different (closely paralleling his own experiences), the cast is strong and the leader doesn’t marry anybody. “A face like mine,” he told them, “would make a travesty of romance. I admit I'm a Great Lover if left alone with a blonde on a balmy evening only faintly moon-lit. But you people can’t

take pictures in dim moonlight, so that lets me out of the clinches.” « He looks astonishingly like Pete Smith, the narrator and producer of novelty shorts who never has dared appear on the screen. Mr. Kyser is a good actor, though, and it would serve him right if Hollywood should keep him here as a comedian. 88.8 HIS SUCCESS as an orchestra leader has been wholly a story of initiative and wit, put .never of participating artistry. So far as I know, he can’t play anything, although back in his University of North Carolina days he owned a clarinet. . He always was a promoter. No athlete, he managed athletics. No campus matinee idol, he bossed all the musical shows. No musician, he organized a dance band, waved the baton, acted as master-of-ceremonies and wangled engagements. He finished college with $3000 in his pockets and contracts for appearances all over the East and South. Kay Kyser is famous in the professional world for his dead-pan ribbing, his ability to recognize song hits in advance, and his fair treatment of those unhappiest of all individuals, the song-pluggers. He won't talk to ’em at all; just has them send him their stuff,

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16 (U. P.). ~—Nothing whatsoever of Sally Rand was visible today as her creditors took a woeful look at her bankruptcy petition on file in Federal Court. . The young woman who had made a big success of not hiding too much behind a bubble or an ostrich fan, listed assets of $8067 and liabilities of $54,631. She made her oath on this, then ducked out of sight.

Put Money in New Show

For 40 weeks she had been the headline attraction at a night club, earning nearly $1000 a week. She operated—but did not appear in-— the nude ranch at the San Francisco Exposition, and directed the activities of another nude show, Miss America. Then she put her money into a new concession known as “Gay Paree,” in which she appeared with her bubble, fan and peacock feathers. She ran $24,000 in the red within a few weeks, it was understood, and the creditors came around with attachment papers.

Plans Are Indefinite

Today her plans were as indefinite as her whereabouts. Among her most pressing debts

were a $5025 promissory note with

the Central Bank of Oakland, and smaller amounts to broadcasting companies, lawyers, personal friends and business associates. ; In 1937 she paid an income tax on $127,183. A national magazine a few months ago detailed a staff writer to oh-and-ah over her business acumen. The fact is she was doing quite well until she invested her own money in a show featuring her own nude figure.

swoon on the average - sized tenor's breast without bending in the middle, a none too frequent operatic sight even in this age of Grace Moores and Lily Ponses. Miss Sayao first gained attention in America when she was engaged by Arturo Toscanini for a performance of Debussy’s “Blessed Damozel.” Signed by the Metropolitan, she took over the so-called “Bori roles,” -appearing in “Traviata,” “Boheme,” ‘Manon” and other operas so long associated with the Spanish lyric soprano. Befoge coming to America, she had sung in Rome, Milan, Paris, Turin, Naples, Buenos Aires, Genoa, Lisbon, Bucharest, Belgrade and other music centers. Her formal debut was made in 1926 in Rio de Janeiro, where she grew up and began her music training with the connivance of a musical uncle and against the better judgment of her parents. Her European career was prefaced by .a period of study with the late great Jean Je Reszke.

THE INDIANA STATE Symphony Society, foster organization of the local symphony orchestra, is as embracing in its scope as the name implies. Lest we forget tnat the orchestra does not exist for Indianapolis alone, the orchestra’s management submits the information that, to date, more than 450 season subscriptions have been sold to patrons in 66 Indiana cities out-

side the capital.

The orchestra also is receiving statewide response to the recente ly announced Young Musicians’ Contest. An aspiring American performer, between the ages of 18 and 30 and a resident of Indiana for at least two years, will be chosen to appear with the orchestra on one of this season's popular contests. Pianists, vielinists and singers will be considered in the competition. A glance at the compositions listed as entrance requirements indicate that only contestants of professional. attainments will be able to survive to the qualifying rounds.

” ” ” EDWIN JONES, VIOLIN instructor at the Jordan Conservatory of Music, will leave this week for Louisiana for four appearances as guest lecturer. He is booked to appear at the Southern -Louisiana Institute at Lafayette, Louisiana State University at Baton Rouge, Louisihna State Normal College at Natchitoches, and Louisiana Polytechnic Institute at Ruston. Mr. Jones is the author of a class instruction hook, “Strings From the Start,” which has been placed on the free textbook list in Indiana.

o ” 2 The Indianapolis Matinee Musicale will open its guest-artist series at 2 p. m. Friday with a recital by Josephine Antoine, coloratura soprano of the Metropolitan Opera. The program will be presented in Ayres’ Auditorium.
