FRIDAY, FEB. 7, 1941" Will Bell Toll \;For Studio?

“Some Say Hemingway Book|

Can't Be Filmed.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 7 (U. P)—|

Ever since a studio paid the huge sum of $100,000 for the movie righ to Ernest Hemingway’s new book, “For Whom the Bell Tolls,” Hollywood has been wondering what it will do with the story. ~~ And not a few of the critics of the movie industry have bluntly voiced the opinion that Paramount paid its money for a title. For they feel that the story can’t be brought to the screen as Hemingway wrote it and when the scenario writers get through with it the studio will have only the title and a few scattered scenes from the novel. Hemingway, in 471 pages, covers only three days in the lives of a group hiding in the mountains of Spain while they prepare to blow up ‘a Nationalist bridge. In that time he lays bare the lives of an merican’ teacher fighting on the de of the Loyalists and a group of Spanish guerrillas. a During the three days little action takes place, although Hemingway does build up a measure of suspense through the numerous conversations of his characters. But a great deal that he discusses will have to be eliminated under Hollywood’s code and with the material censored will go much of the best that he has written into his history. |

RECORDINGS

~ 'Don Quixote’ and Sheep Are Faithfully Recorded

By JAMES THRASHER

Strauss: “Don Quixote”; Eugene Ormandy and the Philadelphia Orchestra, with Emanuel Feuermann, solo cello (Victor).

It wasn't so many years ago that the musical world gave shocked and serious regard to a palpably facetious remark by Richard Strauss, Mr. Strauss had told someone that the day was not far off whep an accurate and unmistakable description of a teaspoon could be written in tone. This remark was made during a period when the legitimacy of Mr, Strauss’ orchestral idiom was debated almost to the exclusion of his other vices and virtues. In the case of “Don Quixote,” listen= ers and writers were led astray by the bleating of the sheep in the brasses and confused by the howling of the wind machine. , Time, of course, dealt in its familiar mannef with Strauss in general and “Don Quixote” in particular, The composition in question has passed into the orchestral repertory not because of or in spite of its novelties, but because repeated hearings continue to afford pleasure and disclose new. beauties. Strauss’ portrait of the immortal Don jis no caricature, The humor of his confused and frantic jousts never descends to buffoonery. Literal as the descriptions of the Dons adventures may be, the life-giving quality to the music is found in the subtle and sympathetic way in which Strauss pree served the pathos and nobility which shone through the aged knight’s fantastic madness. One could scarcely ask. for a happier combination of interpreters than the artists of the present recording. Mr. Ormandy seems to have a particular syme pathy for the work, and the brilliant Philadelphia Orchestra transfers his wishes into a rich realization of sound. Mr. Feuermann’s playing of the solo part might aptly be called a character= ization instead of a performance. He misses no implication of proe gram or music. And his playing of the final variation is especially moying and beautiful,

" # ”

Rachmaninoff: Eleven Piano Pieces; Sergei Rachmaninoff, pianist (Victor). .

In spite of some compelling ex=ceptions, Mr. Rachmaninoff is essentially a piano composer. And the selection of pieces in this album presents an .illuminating demonstration of his development in this field over some 20 years. It begins with the familiar Melodie in E Major, Opus 3, which dates from the composer’s 19th year, and continues with the Humoresque, Opus 10 No. 5 and one of the six Moments Musicaux, Opus 16. All three of these have been revised by the composer, with enriched figuration and harmonic texture. The next piece, the Prelude in G Flat from Opus 23, belongs to the period of renewed activity following several years when Mr, Rachmaninoff ceased composition because of mental depression and shattered confidence. Three of the Preludes from Opus 32, two of the Etudes Tableaux, Opus 33, and two short pieces called “Daisies” and “Oriental Sketch,” belong to: what is designated as the composer's “third period.” This begins about the date of the Third Concerto’s: composition (1909). His writing bears the stamp of a strong individuality. He has opened up new fields in the piano’s ‘possibilities, and has enriched its literature as has no one in the 20th Century except Debussy. Needless to say, the composer’s performance of his music is absolutely the last word. n s » Humperdinck: Suite from “Hansel and Gretel”; Howard Barlow and the Columbia Broadcasting Symphony (Columbia).

Humperdinck’s operatic. fairy tale is one of the few musical works which has the qualities of simplicity and vivid imagination that can speak directly to chil dren, and at the same time pose sesses g subtlety and polish which

endear it to the adult musice lover. Consequently the opera, and the suite here recorded, is a

family. The music, of course, is ulfrafamiliar, Ang the radio listener .need not be reminded that Mr. Barlow is an able conductor, and his broadcasting orchestra one of the top-notch ensembles, Unfortunately the recording which I have is definitely inferior—badly overloaded as to tone and in some places of unstable pitch. Perhaps these faults are not apparent. in all albums, At any rate, the recommendation still goes.

- Into Private Life

‘HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 7 (U. P.).— The reluctance of some actors to expose their private affairs to the gaze of motion picture fans is perhaps best. explained by George Sanders. ; This British-born actor feels he is entitled to a private life, although he does not shun discussion of his work nor does he have any objections to being on display while at the studio. But when Mr. Sanders leaves the studio, he thinks his actions thereafter are his own affair, “I came to Hollywood to be an actor, which means that I impersonate on the screen characters

other than myself,” he said. My whole -talent and energies are devoted to thig end. I hope that the public will be sufficiently interested in the character I create to come fo the theater to see, not me, but the character. “Why, then, should anyone be interested in me personally? What difference can it make to anyone whether I am married, if I am in love or not, whether I attend night clubs, or if I wear green or purple underclothes?” “I am perfectly willing to talk about the characters I. play, for that is related to my occupation. I have been told that I must talk about myself. In the three years that I have been in Hollywcod, I have avoided that, and if I remain here 10 years, I still shall avoid exp my private life.”
