Bill Powell Takes a Beating in New Film With Myrna Loy
HOLLYWOOD, May 9.—Bill Powell and Myrna Loy are back together in “I Love You Again.” Mr. Powell is looking healthy and as debonair as ever, But his health and his elegance are going to take quite a beating before the picture is finished. When the story opens Mr. Powell is a fuddy-duddy pottery salesman who makes a hobby of taxidermy. On a buying trip to New York he is hit over the head by a gambler and as a result loses his memory. When he recovers he finds himself among gamblers and confidence men and becomes one of them. He gets in a fight, is knocked down again and receives a black eye. Then he meets Myrna Loy and they fall in love, In one of their love spats, Miss Loy wops Mr. Powell over the noggin with a plate full of scrambled eggs. He's again laid out. None of these kayoes restores his memory, but along comes Frank McHugh and punches Mr. Powell in the nose. He fals again, striking his head on a door. % = 3 Myma Loy, who has fallen in love with Mr. Powell the confidence man and gambler, is so disgusted when she finds out he likes to dust pottery and stuff owls that she conks him over the head again with one of his own vases as the picture ents.
” = = THREE YEARS AGO John MecGuire walked out on a 20th-Fox contract because they wanted him to change his American speech for more sophisticated English diction. So he went to New York and appeared in “Knights of Song” in the role of a young Englishman.

Then he played George Bernard Shaw as a young man. He did other English plays, finally En with the role of a _Smoothy “Shadow and Substance.” ot Guire returned to Hollywood recently replete with Oxford accent and tried again to get into pictures. He did, in the role of a mug who talks out of the side of his mouth in “Street of Memories.” = = os
ON THE 20TH-FOX back lot Jack Oakie was learning to plow a field. As a retired vaudevillian in
“Young People” Oakie was supposed to be putting his hand to the plow for the first time. “All you have to do is hang onto these handles and say ‘gee-up’,” said the hor%e expert. “But don't shout at the horse.” “Gee-up,” said Oakie in a weak, frightened voice. Nothing happened. The horse still stood looking at him. “All right, we'll shoot 1,” said Director Allan Owan. -“Action!” Nervous, Oakie's voice stuck for a moment and then came forth in a yell, “GEE-UP!” The horse jumped and Oasakie, who had the reins wrapped around his wrist, was jerked off his feet and sprawled on the plowed earth. “Cut,” yells Dwan, “That was swell. Tt wasn’t in the script, but print it.” That didn’t end the plowing for Oakie. He plowed all afternoon and when the company wound up for the day he displayed a couple of blistered hands to Dwan. Dwan looked at the blisters and burst out laughing. “Hey, Ed,” he shouted to Edward Cronjager, the camerman, “Take a closeup of
Jack’s hands, It's just what we need to finish the scene.”

recordings of the firm's Red Label discs, offered at a substantial reduction in cost. The series is a logical follow-up to the below-cost Music Appreciation albums. It is aimed at the new record buyers developed by the Music Appreciation campaign, and also at those whose purchases are curtailed by prevailing prices. Although new in the recording field, this venture is common practice in the publishing business. Victor is simply issuing a reprint edition of some of its best sellers at lower prices. The Black Label series rirst releases offer you John Barbirolli, Bruce Walter, Eugene Goossens, Frederick Stock, Albert Coates and Sir Landon Ronald among the conductors; such orchestras as the Vienna Philharmonic, the Chicago Sqmphony, the London Symphony and the London Philharmonic, and the La Scala Orchestra of Milan. There are re-recordings of discs by Caruso, Matzenauer, McCormack, Galli-Curci, dal Monte and other great names of a score and more years ago. Records by Paderewski, Menuhin, Kreisler and Artur Rubinstein are among instrumental offerings. = ” ”
Sibelius, “En Saga,” “In Memoriam,” “The Bard,” ete; Sir Thomas Beecham and the London Philharmonic Orchestra (Victor).
Some of the greatest examples of Sibelius’ non-symphonic orchestral writing may be found in this album, which is Volume Six in the Sibelius Society’s series. A gen-
erous collection of 14 sides, it offers an illuminating chronological survey of Sibelius’ creative growth, in addition to the rich pleasure of individual hearing. Beginning with “En Saga” which is the composer's Opus 9 (1892), the album carries us through to the Prelude to “The Tempest,” Opus 109a (1926). Included are the funeral march “In Memoriam” (1907-8), “The Bard” (1913), three excerpts from the incidental music to “Pelleas and Melisande” (1905) and the famous “Valse Triste,” which dates from
. about the same period.
Except perhaps for the “Tempest” music, every item in the album is of absorbing interest. It is a collection which reveals the many sides of Sibelius’ genius in music touched everywhere by originality and power and consummate mastery of material and medium, h & 4 Liszt-Busoni, Spanish Rhapsody; Egon Petri, pianist, and the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra, Dimitri Mitropoulos, conductor (Columbia).

WHEN THE NATIONAL Committee for Music ~ Appreciation launched its record distribution here, a good many of our skeptical citizens were heard to inquire: “What's the catch—what do they ex-
An answer, perhaps, may be found in the announcement of the new Victor “Black Label Classics.” This is a series of repressings or re-
there is a famous “foreign legion” of composers who wrote Spanish music. Frenchmen, Russians, Germans and Englishmen exploited the Iberian folk-songs for years before the contemporary Spanish school had established itself. Most of us, however, had for-
gotten that one of the earliest and
most famous of these “legionnaires” was the Hungarian Franz Liszt. But there exists 2a Spanish Rhapsody for piano solo, seldom played, which appeared six years before the first of Liszt's more famous Hungarian Rhapsodies. The present recording is of Busoni's transcription for piano and orchestra. Once the rhapsody’s themes are stated, Spanish origins are all but forgotten and the music becomes typically Lisztian. It's brilliant, exciting and superficial music. And it is dazzlingly played by Mr. Petri and his collaborating artists. Somehow Mr. Petri's American popularity doesn’t measure up to his gifts, and in these parts he is largely unknown. But if you like pianistic pyrotechnics, you should get acquainted with him through his recordings. For his is a tripledistilled art of virtuosity, temperament and sound musicianship which is hard to match, even in this day of keyboard titans. = = =
Handel, “Alcina” Suite; Felix Weingartner and the Orchestre de la Societe des Concerts du Staervaione: Paris (Columia).
This set of two records contains most of the “dream music” and ballet music from Handel's balletopera, “Alcina.” The music depict ing the Agreeable, Menacing, Agreeable Frightened and Sad Dreams is not so naive as its titles. In fact, considering Handel’s pre-Freudian handicaps of instrumentation and formal tradition, it is quite exciting and dramatic stuff.
