By DAVID MARSHALL
TOMORROW IS THE DAY OF THE BIG WIND, ‘Gone With the Wind” opens a limited engagement at four
~ neighborhood theaters—the Ritz, the Daisy.
There hasn’t been as much excitement in the outlying precincts since Al Jolson’s tear- -jerking voice startled and delighted the patrons
who saw “The Jazz Singer,” first full-length picture with sound.

It’s pay day, and Nat Pendleton sees: his $30 about to vanish inte the outstretched palm of Bud Abbott. Louis Costello stands in the middle, wondering whether it is more blessed to give or to receive. This slice of Army life is from “Buck Privates,” which will be on the Circle screen for the week beginning.

THE WOMEN’S STYLES in {he revived “Calling All Tars” are stealing the laughs from Bob Hope. One of Hope's first tworveelers, it was made seven years #4go so you can imagine what the lassies were wearing then. “Calling All Tars” is on the Emerson hill tomorrow through Saturday and at the Esquire the last time fonight. Hope's appearance, incidentally, has changed little. 2 8 8 THE ESQUIRE'S double return engagement of “The Awful Truth” and “Lost Horizon” made a good beginning toward breaking the house record for revivals of 18 days set by “Four’s a Crowd” and ‘That Certain Woman.” The former pair opened last Sunday and kept pace with the week-end opening crowds of the recordsetter, but on Monday the Esky had one of the biggest Monday nights in its history.

like a threat to the record. 8 " "

Levant Knocks
His Own Movie
NEW YORK, March 5.—Oscar Levant, whom many people believe to be nothing mbre than a press agent
stunt, has turned out to be an actual person. He arrived the other day at Grand Central from Hollywood and promptly horrified Paramount officials by knocking the picture he has just completed. Mr. Levant said he was cast in the role of the leftist columnist in Clare Booth’'s comedy, “Kiss the Boys Goodbye.” “It’s not the stage role any more,” he said. “It's the kind of a part they give you when they have you under contract and want to get rid of you. I wasn't ‘even under contract but they gave it to me anyway. “They yanked me off a train at Pasadena and in 10 minutes had me working before the camera. It was an old Southern mansion or something. I never did figure out what went on and I never got a look at the script. “I can tell you this much. When that picture is released, Clare Booth will be coming around to Paramount with her claws bared. I'd love to see the review it gets in Time.”
COOPER TO SING
Gary Cooper will sing at least one mountain song in his portrayal of the title role of “Sergeant York.” The World War hero, after his conJesion to religion, became widely nown in the Tennessee mountains as a hymn singer, acquiring the nickname of “The Singing Elder.”

How Maestro Gets Around ASCAP; Play-for-Fun
Get
Pianists
‘Break’
By JAMES THRASHER
A COLLEAGUE who is conversant with the ins and outs of popular music has called me to account for a statement in the review of popular records which appeared on this page Monday. The statement was to the effect that a pair of tunes, although they bore the trademark of a noted composer-band leader, did not bear the composer’s name. It seems that I was right about the trademark. For this colleague
had it on first-hand authority that the orchestra leader had done the whole job except to sign his name to the composition. The reason for the pseudonym is the ASCAP-NAB feud. This leader and others (especially those whose style of playing demands special material) found themselves up against it for tunes to play on the air after Jan. 1. They had built a reputation by playing their own compositions in their own particular way. But they were also ASCAP members. So they stood the chance of losing their radio following if they depended on “Jeanie With the Light Brown Hair.” A solution wasn't long in popping up. The tune-writing maestros simply borrow the name and person of someone else for a while. This benevolent stooge— perhaps the maestro’s manager or one of his musicians—goes around to the publishers, signs the necescary papers, and the tune goes on the air. ” » ” APPARENTLY some people still play the piano for fun, despite all the mechanical reproductions available at the twist of a dial. At any rate Albert E. Wier, who already has edited two popular volumes for the amateur pianist (“Masterpieces of Piano Music” and “Piano Pieces the Whole World Plays”) has another anthology on the market. It is called “Piano Music for the Leisure Hour” and it is published by Longmans, Green and Co. . Included in the new volume are 94 pieces, ranging from Bach and Scarlatti to Rachmaninoff and Ravel, from the easy to the moderacely difficult.
o on ” THE JORDAN CONSERVATORY has a full schedule of faculty and pupil performances for the coming week. Tonight Alfred Mirovitch, artist teacher of piano, will deliver one of a series of three lecture-recitals on the music of Chopin. The hour
