turned to a formal and neoclassics style exemplified by his sonata No. 2, arranged for trio. Victor (M 873) has recorded this work as played by Marcel Moyse, flute; Lily Laskine, harp, and Alice Merckel, viola. The piece was composed in 1915, three years before Debussy died. It is refined, melancholy music, rhythmically complex and difficult to follow. It contains traces of Gregorian chants and songs of the medieval French troubadors. = = J

Hays Calls on Films to Help Win War;
Hoosier Has Success in Western Series
THE ROLE OF THE SCREEN in 1942 is to help win the war, according to the annual report of Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America. “No other medium can give its audience a greater sense of pare ticipation,” he said. “There has never been a greater opportunity for the film art to exercise its powers as an instrument of freedom.” Following out Mr. Hays’ summary of its role, the picture in-

came to Hollywood, none of them could tell a hackle from the shackle or vice versa. But Mr. King could sing—he was with Ben Bernie for a while —and Mr. Terhune was a vaudeville performer. And they have gone over big as the “Boot Hill Bandits” in a very profitable series of 14 six-shootin’ westerns. Right now, Mr. King gets 1500 fan letters a week—out fan-mail-ing Clark Gable or Robert Taylor.

Korjus sang rings around everybody else. Her voice had a quality that seemed to make other singers sound hoarse by comparison. So the gorgeous Korjus, as she was billed at the time, left Hollywood for grand opera. The full beauty of her voice can be heard in “Gypsy Girl” and “Variations on a Mozart theme” a single record released by Victor (13826).
