"The Arabian Nights’
THE DAY that Pierre Monteux, French-born conductor of the gan Francisco symphony orchestra, recorded the Rimsky-Korsakov “Scheherazade,” for R. C. A. Victor, he became an He was so excited, he said, “I gave with ga yell,
honic suite, “american ‘citizen. lke what you call a cheering.”
. The recording, released this month, is worth a cheer, too. po was
Nibde. in the War Memorial opera house, San Francisco, where acWa coustical conditions were ideal. ‘It brings out boldly contrast and charm of’ the Rus‘sian. composer’s work which was written 61 years ago, ' The suite -is not. intentionally programmatic, but it describes the mood of the Arabian Nights entertainment. The suite opens sternly, suggesting the menacing
‘~ Caliph whom Scheherazade must
.enfertain for her life. The first “story” is “The Sea and the Vessel of Sinbad” in which the swell of the sea and the pitch of the ship can be felt. The music has a rolling rhythm; its color suggests the blue of the
sea and the bright brass of the:
sky. This sketch is particularly vivid. Rimsky-Korsakov was a _gailor before he turned to music. [The suite continues on seven record sides to describe “The Tale of Prince Kalendar, » “The Prince and the Princess,” “The Festival at Bagdad,” “The Wreck of the Vessel” and a conclusion as

This is a particularly good work to demonstrate the powers of the artists whose instruments preserve a measure of their individuality even in combination.

ever ‘a good soapy ‘solution is convenient or blowing up bal+ loons when soap isn't available constitutes good training for grand opera, especially when you have a voice. Following a particularly enjoyable Dbubble-blowing session, the opera and concert star recorded a group of French operatic arias for Victor. - French opera is about the best type of thing Miss Swarthout does, she says. The album includes Stephano’s . recitative and aria, “What Art Thou Doing?” from act three of Gounod’s Romeo and Juliet; Siebel’s aria, “Gentle Flowers in the Dew;” the romance from act one of “Mignon,” “Knowest Thou the Land?” and part of the recitative of “Mignon” entitled “Well I Know a Poor Young Child.” The Victor symphony orchestra, under the direction of Wilfred Pelletier, provides the instrumental background.
Sam Barber's "Adagio"
ONE OF THE BEST recording jobs Victor has put out in some time, it seems. to us, is Samuel Barber's “Adagio for Strings,” played by the N. B. C. symphony orchestra under the direction of Arturo Toscanini. This is a thoroughly modern and beautiful work by an American composer whose works have not yet been heard enough. The “Adagio” was given its world premiere by Toscanini and the N. B. C. symphony in 1938. It is an interesting piece of music, thoughtful and reflective It is a pleasure to hear the work of an American. Too often, record companies, like symphony orchestras, pass over the talent in their own. land, probably be-" cause being less familiar to listeners than standard classical works, it is less popular. Mr. Barber began to write orchestral music when he was graduated from the Curtis Institute at Philadelphia at the age of 22. In 10 years, he has won more recognition for his work than many a composer achieves in @ lifetime. Born in West Chester, Pa., in 1910, Mr. Barber is today one of this country’s youngest and greatest composers. He won the prix de Rome at the age of 25 and in that same year and the following year won the Pulitzer prize for music. At present, he is not writing, but plans to continue when the war is over. He's busy learning to be a soldier.

According to Dr. Leonora N. Bilger, lab instructor in charge of the project, local university students are learning the relatively simple, standardized procedures for making the drugs.

Among students learning to make these drugs are soldiers attending the newly organized army institute at the university, affiliated with 76 mainland universities for the purpose of allowing soldiers on duty to continue their studies.

Young Star Shows Skill
Became Ventriloquist by An
Accident. |
By FREDERICK C. OTHMAN United Press Hollywood Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 4 (U. P.)— Here’s one of those Hollywood stories again, though most of this one occurred in San Francisco: A year and a half ago, it was, that a broken down vaudevillian walked into the toy shop of Al Dinsmore near the golden gate bridge and asked Al if he could have a ventriloquist’s dummy on tick. He said if he only had a dummy, he maybe could gef a job. Al made him one. No luck. No jobs. The actor finally confessed to Al that he still was broke; still was hungry. Al invited him out to the house for dinner.
Shirley, about ventriloquism. He showed her some of the tricks of the
‘trade and in 10 minutes Shirley
was making the dummy talk. Became Star Early
He’d done more than that. Shirley asked her dad for a dummy of her own. The toy business wasn’t so good. Al made her one, then he closed up shop and got a job in the ship yards. All that ‘took only a couple of days. A week after Shirley had tried ventriloquism for the first time, she was demonstrating her art at a Sunday = school show. The ' folks liked her. A few days before Christmas, 1941, she was downtown shopping for
| dresses in a department store toy
shop for her dummy, which she had named Judy Splinters. She got to talking to the department store people and first thing she knew she was making the dummy talk for the president of the company. Yep, that started it. He hired her to appear every afternoon in his toyland, where sales immediately jumped 300 per cent. When Edgar Bergen played San Francisco she went backstage to see him.. He said she was wonderful.
Soldiers Like Her
So Shirley kept up with the shows until the end of term at high school this June. Then she and her mother, a one-time school teacher, came to Hollywood. The USO grabbed Shirley for its soldier shows. She wowed the boys nightly by talking their commanding general into kissing her dummy. } Shirley so impressed some professional gag writers that they offered to do her patter for her. They did,. but it wasn’t so hot. Sounded too smart alecky. Shirley resumed the writing of her own dialog, she kept on with the soldier shows. and the auditions. Last week she went out to Warner brothers to do her stunt for Eddie Cantor, now working in one of their musical movies, He signed her to a contract for radio and movie work. She begins this week. '

BOGIE REALLY BOPS 'EM in “Across the Pacific,” a story about a band of would-be Jap saboteurs who plah to destroy the locks in th .
Panama Canal.
Seems like Bogie, whom you may know better as Humphrey Bogart, has been doing a lot of bopping since the war started. In “All Through the Night” he battled the Gestapo—now it’s the Japs.
Bogart, as Rick Leland, is dishonorably discharged as a captain from the U. S. army and later attempts to enlist in the Canadian artillery. But his identity is revealed and he is rejected. Boarding a Japanese vessel headed for the Orient, Rick meets Alberta Marlow (Mary Astor) and Lorenz (Sydney Greens treet) who has an admiration for the Japs. Rick and Alberta fall in love and Lo- Mr, Bogart renz tries to get Rick to talk about his past. Later on, it becomes apparent that Rick is in the army secret service and that Lorenz is the man he is after.
" . There follows a series of events
in which Rick is severely beaten by Lorenz's men and later is captured by the same gang along with Alberta and her father. Then Bogie gets to work with his bopping and does a thorough job. It will be at the Irving, Vogue and Zaring through Saturday, the Rivoli tomorrow through Sunday, {he Fountain Sqpare Saturday through Tuesday and the Belmont and Speedway Sunday through Tuesday. ® 8 a JEAN ARTHUR, Carey Grant and Ronald Colman fight injustice in “The Talk of the Town,” a good-natured melodrama also opening this week in the neighborhoods.
Grant, as Leopold Dilg, is imprisoned When his foreman, Bracken, dies | in a mill fire. Dilg later ese . capes and hides in the house of Nora Shel- § ley (Jean Arthur). Nora pretends that he is a garden- . er to Michael Miss Arthur Lightcap (Ronand Colman) who is renting the house. Leopold and Lightcap become fast friends although the latter is unaware who Dilg is. Dilg meanwhile learns to respect law and order, Nora becomes attached to both men and Lightcap, who has heard of the Dilg case but doesn’t know that Leopold is the man, is led to a belief that an injustice is being done Dilg. After he learns he is slated for a supreme court post, -Lightcap finds out who Leopold really is. Shaving his beard, he sets out to investigate the case and the results are what you would expect. The film will be at the St. Clair through Saturday, the Granada for a week beginning tomorrow and the Belmont Sunday through Tuesday. 2 2 = TWO OTHER new -fllms are headed for the neighborhood houses. One is “Private Buckaroo” and the other is “Men of Texas.” “Private Buckaroo” has a musical cast which includes Harry James, the nation’s No. 1 trumpet man, the Andrews Sisters, and ag mighty cute dancer, Dorothy Babb. “Men of Texas” is a story about an ace reporter from Chicago— a quiet, soft-spoken guy who seeks the truth. “Private Buckaroo” will be at the Belmont and Irving through Saturday, the Rivoli Thursday through ‘Sunday and: the St. Clair and Strand Sunday through Tuesday. “Men of Texas” is slated for the Speedway Friday and Satur--day and the St. Clair, Strand and Uptown Sunday through Tues. day. 2 2 2
