by Lt. Franklin Miner, armed guard commander of a nav gun crew aboard the tanker. Any apparent inconsistency between the “Kalinnikoff Symphony” and a tanker dodging U-boats in the Atlantic is explained by the fact that Lt. Miner was, before entering the navy last year, manager of the Indianapolis symphony orchestra. When Lt. Miner originally was assigned to the tanker, he took with him a battered U. S. O. pnoInograph and a few recordings of the Indianapolis orchestra, given

to him by conductor Fabien Sevitzky. In the lot was the Kalinnikoff work. During the voyage he started concerts of recorded music, mostly for himself, he says, but he invited his men (mostly jazz devotees) to attend if they felt like it. Before long they were drifting in by two and threes. The gunner’s mate held out for six months, then slipped in. Constant playing of the Kalinnikoff symphony soon had its effect. The men heard it so often that even the least music-minded was able to cue in individual instruments, a feat that many a prominent maestro might envy.

Crew Converted

In New York after the voyage, Lt. Miner told the story to friends and it soon got around. A generous

woman gave him a fine phonograph and Walter Toscanini, son of the] famous maestro, contributed some | lof his father's albums. Others sent | along cartons of single discs and albums. By the time his ship set sail for North Africa, Lt. Miner | says he had a record library worth 700 His programs aboard ship always were well attended and he was able to play request numbers. Tschaikowsky, he relates, was most popular with the men, but before the boat reached its destination it had] been nudged out by the Toscanini- | Heifetz recording of the “Beethoven | Violin Concerto.” “The gun crew,” he laughs, “was now displaying its newly acquired | discrimination in music.” Then the crew was changed and | Lt. Miner had to begin all over again. Shortly after the new crew's conversion to enjoyment of “longhair” music, the ship was torpe-

rests at the bottom of the Atlantic, |but a number of navy men are how advocates of good music. Lt, Miner was among those rescued. Now he’s in the east waiting another assignment and hoping to be able to bring good music to another crew, records.

‘Dixie’ Minus War Angles

Indiana Has Dotty, Bing Musical Fling.

“Dixie” is a musical without a trace of war and “Dixie” has Bing Crosby as crooner de luxe. In ad- | dition there's Dorothy Lamour, A ‘boarding house Cleopatra”; Mar- | Jorie Reynolds, a wheelchair wife, | and Billy De Wolfe, villainous screen newcomer.

It all adds up to a money-earning { film with women probably as the chief customers. It opened at the Indiana yesterday. This is the story of Daniel Decatur Emmett, originator of the minstrel show and composer of the title song. It'ssupposed to tell how the song was written and how the | iret minstrel shocked then appealed to the South. As Daniel, Bing leaves his home and sweetheart, Marjorie Reynolds, to make his way as an ector in the cold, cruel world. He assures his doubtful prospective father-in-law that good actors make good money. The answer is “Yeh, but the bad ones eat the cabbages thrown at them.” So, Emmett's career was launched with Miss Reynolds’ hand as the reward. Cheated out of his money by card sharper and unemployed actor, Billy De Wolfe, Bing winds up | chasing him to New Orleans. The wo of them go to a boarding house, in reality the hangout of down-and-out actors. Miss La-| mour's the glamorous landlady.

Love Lost |

Here Bing, with the landlady’s | aid, conceives the idea of a minstrel | show for himself, De Wolfe, Lynne | Overman and Eddie Foy Jr. also occupants of the boarding house. | The only trouble is that the opening evening is an eventful one As Miss Lamour remarks, “I've been engaged to two men, the show's a triumph and the theater | burns down.” Chivalrous Bing re- | turns to tell his hometown gal he's nh love with Lamour, only to find her in a wheelchair, paralyzed. So, he marries her, In New York his songs won't sell. He's persuaded to return to New Orleans with his wife to live in the same boarding house. Suffice it to say that the landlady’s furious but turns out to be a lady enough to marry the villain. Emmett, of course, becomes a sensational success. picture except color, costumes and songs. implausible. A bright spot in the film is a song and dance number by Lynne Overman and Eddie Foy, two old and good troopers.

The Indiana's second feature is “Aerial Gunner.” It makes up fo» all the war absent from “Dixie.” The story concerns a bomber crew with Richard Arlen and Chester Morris as chief feuders—By V. H.
