Harry Sherman, producer of the Hopalong Cassidy pictures, has solved that need. A gentleman has Wrong Again! cian. There was considerable condescension in the reply. Malipiero was gifted but erratic, it was even hinted that be was unsound, in some deeply subversive sense. But my Virgil eagerly agreed that the signor was a most extraordinary human personality. As recently as four years ago, a Malipiero opera threw the Royal opera house of Rome into a tumult of howling and Mussolini banned it as inimical to the faith and sound teachings of the new Italy. But, by this time, Malipiero had become a world-famomusician, and he was soon restored .to favor. This status is unquestioned as his symphony, Elegiaca, was given its first performance in New York, with Barbirolli John For conducting. many years, critical opinion discounted him as somewhat of an outlaw and disturber. Now it has caught up with him, as it did with Stravinsky and Richard Strauss. Both the Fire Bird and Salome were met with when they were first produced. Critics note some mysterious enervating influence in Malipieros new symphony. It may be an afterthought, but the explanation seems clear as I recall my conversation with him. His face saddened and he seemed ten years older when I mentioned the war. For bis ballet, Pantea, he had written of the struggle of a soul hurling itself into the struggle for liberty, only to find oblivion and death.- The war had been to him a tragic and devastating experience. He said it had profoundly shaken both his art and his life. Never again would the suave fir encies or banalities of music hav meaning for him. He was impelle' to a deeper search.

He was kind and courteous, spectful to his superiors and indulgent to his inferiors. He had courage without bluster and pride without vaunting. He was a loyal friend and a devoted companion.

Good Reputation 1 Origin of "Stateroom" The word stateroom is SUJ posed to have originated with Capt. Shreve in the early days of travel on the Mississippi. He was the first to put wooden partitions between the sleeping quarters on the river boats, and he followed this by building separate rooms. He named each room for a state in the Union. It was the custom for a passenger to ask: Which state am I in? Soon such quar-- 1 ters were known as staterooms. cat-call- s. us Robert Taylor and he had to be good, for the other leading roles are played by Margaret Sullivan, Franchot Tone and Robert Young. Wayne Morris has found, to his sorrow, that kissing a girl for the movies is pretty complicated and decidedly difficult. For instance, the director tells you to look down at the girl. Maybe youre not tall enough; then you have to stand on a box. (That doesnt worry Wayne, You because hes plenty tall.) have to take the girl in your arms and kiss her, he says, while the hairdresser stands by, glaring if you muss the girls hair, and you mustnt wrinkle the collar of the girls dress, and you must raise your arms so that your coat doesnt hike up in back; if it does, everything stops while the tailor is summoned to see whats wrong with the coat. Screen love is the bunk but its a living. m Peg La Centra is the joy of radio program directors.
