’ Some of you spent the summer
dodging Joe ’ Clarinetti’s ’ Bus Boys,
| and some cf you no doubt kept run
ning into hands that "sounded just
like Benny Goodman, I’m Telling
You.” ‘ Blit you’re back now and the
".past, is a bucket of ashes,” to swipe
a line from Sandburg just to get some
class into this stint. ' That means
your musical education may continue
along more’ orderly lines. Most of
the talk is still swing music, but the
tone is quieter. The intoxication of
the first lifting of commercial repres
sions has fortunately worn off to the
place where the'third-chair sax of the
"Society Sizzlers” now feels the urge
upon him to prove how close he can
come to Coleman Hawkins.

The musical Swing Time is evi
dence enough of the .hefty ’ influence
Ihe revived ’hot music has made;
however, one hardly looks for Jerome
Kern-to‘emulate the' Dixieland Jazz
spirit. He doesn’t, but he supplies J a
very satisfying score for the* Dor
othy Field lyrics and their execution
in the hands of the Astaire-Rogers
duo. You’ll hear the songs and see
the dancing at the local tKeater scon;
meanwhile let me assure you that if
the; tunes catch anil you want them
with you;'Brunswick’ has done’a good
job of catching them on wax. Johnny
Green’s" Orchestra is no 1 swing band,
but there is real spirit in'the back
grounds for Astaire’s pleasing and
unpretentious voice. A Fine Ro -
Vianet, Bojanglcs of Harlem, Never
Gonna Dance, Pick Yourself Up 'are
straightforward and full-bodied treat
.nients of musical comedy matter, with
most of the” lyrics on the side of in
telligence’ and humor. Mice catching
of L'imehouse' Blues theme in'the'trib
ute to Bill Robinson, "Bojangles.”
Astaire dances in black-face for tgis
one. '* (You won’t see that on the rec
ord). The Waltz in Swing Time is
instrumental,' played very fast, and
gets away from that oozy Three O'-
clock in the Morning drag that licks
most popular waltz tunes. Incident
ally, they tell me the Johnny Green-
Astaire combination wall appear over
the air this autumn on the Packard
Motor Hour.

The Beiderbecke Album is out at
‘lfist, with -fancy -cover, descriptive
booklet which tells a lot about the.
records and as -much about Beider
becke as space - allows. The-Victor
masters from \vhicfi’ present is
made, are frequently different from
[those used for the 1928 • releases, all
of which makes a fine study’ of the
Beiderbecke versatility. The' price-'is
five dollars, but when. you consider
,thie research among stacks of old
masters ( metal first impressions) to
produce the selection, the price is fair
enough for twelve out-of-print sides,
even if the booklet were omitted. Per

I CItiEMANIA
Perhaps M. G. M. realized that mo
tion picture audiences were beginning
to get a little tired watching Joanj
Crawford imitate the too tco utterly
utterly, penthoi/e people of ‘‘Let Us
Be Gay,” and fne other films of the
toujour gai school. At any rate her ;
latest role is entirely different from •
anything else she has done previously •
oh the screen. "The Glorious Ilussy,” .
which plays at the Cathaum today
and tomorrow, is a costume picture
of America in the days when politi
cians were as quick to pull a trigger
as tiiey are now to make a speech.
Co-starred with Miss Crawford is
M. G. M.’s latest meteroic star, Rob
ert Taylor. The supporting cast is
as brilliant as most of those which
M. G. M. assembles for its headliners.
It includes Lionel Barrymore, Frnn
ehot Tone, Melvyn Douglas, James
Stewart, and AlTson Skipworth.
Miss Crawford plays the part of
Peggy O’Neal, the daughter of an
inn-keeper. Most of the important
figures in Washington, Webster,
Jackson, and others, know her. She
falls in love with John Randolph,
Melvyn Douglas’, but he doesn't con
sider her refined enough for him.
Follow for Peggy a series of love
affairs. She becomes attached to An
drew Jackson (Lionel Barrymore)
and his wife and aids the former in
his campaign for the presidency, al
though as a result she is estranged
from Randolph. She imarries John
Eaton (Franehot Tone) and then, be
cause her position in Washington has
become embarassing for Jackson, she
and her husband leave the country.
Taylor is seen as one of Pegg’s
two husbands. James Stewart is one
of the five men in love with her.
A horse opera, produced in connec
tion with the Texas Centennial, will
be at the Cathaum Saturday. "Texas
Rangers” stars Jack Oakie. That’s
all we know about It.
We are one of those persons who
never did get around to reading." A
nthony Adverse.” (We were about to
start it when Lit. Prof. Werner
opined that it was not a great novel
so we read "Roll'Riyer” instead.) We
understand, however, from those who
have waded through its thirteen hun
dred pages that it make swell movie
melodrama'-and most of the critics
have agreed that it is one of the out
standing cinema offerings of the
year.-It comes to Ehe Cathaum screen:
Monday and Tuesday.
The story,' as most of you know,
deals with -the adventures’ of Anthony
Adverse, a’ romantic figure ’ moving
through~'Europe, America, and Af
rica during the perio'd of , the Napol
eonic wars.'The picture was two
years in the making—nearly as long
as it took some people to read the
book—and Warner Brothers have giv
en-it the usual elaborate treatment. -
Frederic March in the title role
heads an excellent cast which includes
Olivia" de Havilland,' Claude Rains,
Anita Louise, Donald Woods, Ralph
Morgan, Edmund Gwenn, and sever
al thousand others.
One of the members of the staff,
I who saw the picture in New York,
when asked to give his opinion said:
"Although certain liberties have been
taken with the original story, the pic
ture is well.worth seeing. I especial
ly liked that part which deals with
Anthony’s adventures in America.”'
