Helen Hayes Debut

MISS HELEN HAYES makes her phonograph record debut this month in a series of fervent recitations of patriotic themes, with a specially arranged ‘musical accompaniment. Her material is composed of the great words which have been penned down through the years in

hours of national crisis.

The repertoire recorded in an attractive

~*“The Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “The Star Spangled Banner,” Walt Whitman's “Beat! ' Beat! Drums!,” “America” and the pledge of allegiance. It is a fitting debut for the radio and stage star at this time. The music, played as background to the recitations by the Victor concert orchestra, was arrafiged by Kurt Weill, who has integrated it well with the monologue. The music for the Whitman poem is Mr. Weill’s original composition. I imagine Miss Hayes’ numerous fans will welcome this album. Since I am not one of them, I feel free to criticize her delivery which is over-emotional and strained. As in her radio plays, the actress puts everything she has into her voice which vibrates like an over-taut violin string, perpetually ‘near the bréaking point, " ” »

Yankee Doodle Dandy

MOTION PICTURE productions of “My Gal Sal” and “Yankee Doodle Dandy” have stimulated the revival of turn-of-the-Jeentury and world war I melodies which still have as much appeal as ever. ) The old tunes recall the flavor of the past as nothing else quite can. They help give 1942 a sense of relatedness with 1916 and 1898, with other war years, with other r times of national emergency.

Dinah Shore, with Gordon Jenkins’ orchestra: “Conchita, Marcheta, Lolita, Pepita, Rosita, Juanita Lopez’—Dinah couldn't be finah. Watch this tune. . . . “He Wears a Pair of Silver Wings,”—she sings it prettily. Sammy Kaye: “I Left My Heart at the Stage Door Canteen,”’—okay, okay: “South Wind,” —Alan Foster’s vocal is fair. Freddy Martin: “I Met Her on Monday”’—the unusual rendition of the usual; “Jingle, Jangle, Jingle”’—tops, terrific and all that. It’s ope of the hits. Bob Chester: “Keep the Home Fires Burning” and “Strictly Instrumental”—Who let him in? Carson Robison: “Don’t Let My Spurs Get Rusty While I'm Gone”’—P, U.; “Plain Talk”—fair pep talk. Barry Wood—‘‘South Wind” not as good as Kaye's: “Jingle, Jangle, Jingle”—not as good as Martin's. The Four Sisters: “My Devotion”—fair harmony; “Conchita, Marcheta, etc.”—not as good as Dinah’s.

Cary and Barbara Are Happy, but They

By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD, July 14.—Cary Grant and Barbara Hutton never had a honeymoon; Grant was too

busy making a movie—about a honeymoon. He married the blond Barbara one afternoon and was back in the arms of Ginger Rogers the next merning. The film should be finished in another month, whereupon Grant hopes immediately to join the army. The black-haired Grant and the girl whose fortune once was estimated at $40,000,000, probably will have no honeymoon until after the war.

She was a giddy 18, and fat to boot, when she took her $40,000,000 and cut a swath of headlines around the world, with impecunious noblemen from India to the Alps eyeing her millions, perhaps more than the plump Barbara, herself. She ignored her physicians finally and went on a diet of coffe and aspirin. It nearly killed her. They are living now in the Brent-

VICTOR MATURE'S WIFE TO FILE SUIT

HOLLYWOOD, July 14 (U., P.).— Mrs. Victor Mature today said she would file a divorce suit in the near future. Actor Mature, Hollywood’s “beautiful hunk of man,” who recently joined the coast guard, was not expected to contest the action, “It has been apparent for quite a long time,” Mrs. Mature said, “that Victor and I couldn't make a go of our marriage. We separated, were unable to effect a reconciliation, and a divorce is the logical next step. I have told my attorney to file suit.” Mrs. Mature, widow of orchestra leader Hal Kemp, married the actor in New York June 17, 1941, and left him last February.
