Music Trends To
Mozart Year
This is a "Mozart Year." Plans
are all-pervasive for performances
<8f the Salzburg master's works
throughout the country, marking
the 150th anniversary of his death
on December 5th.
Too-little represented in the past
on American operatic stages, Wolf,
gang Amadeus is to have full re-
paration this season.
The Metropolitan Opera is to re-
vive The Magic Flute in English,
and repeat its productions of Don
Giovanni on his anniversary, and
Le di Figaro, which will open the
season on Nov. 24, the first time a
Mozart work has done so.
With few exceptions, the princi-
pal orchestras of the country will
pay homage with Mozartean pro-
grams. Choral music will be heard
in churches and concert halls com-
memorating this genius.

Tea Garden In
Musical Film
By T. E. Stafford
On the cover of the November
issue o£, the Metronome magazine.,
there is a picture of the famous
Jack Teagarden. In case you don't
know or in ca,s,e that you do Jack
Teagarden is a former resident of
Vernon, Texas. That, by the way,
is the home town of this columnist.
The magazine features a story of
"Mr. T." and his first motion pic-
ture. The picture is "The Birth of
the Blues" and features Mary
(Weatherford) Martin and Bing
Crosby. The story in its criticism
says, . . . ... . . Mr. T. is qi
gracious, movie actor, with all the
ease of personality and brilliance of
singing and t.romboning that has
made him one of the topmost
greats of his profession."

Fans Await Fate of Baugh in Serial;
Corn of McCoy Rings Cash Register
Slinging Sammy Baugh made his
Ft. Worth film debut this wqpk at
the Palace in a serial "King of the
Texas Rangers". Although Sam is
still new at the racket his deep
voice and remarkable resemblence
to tHfe late Tom Mix increases the
appeal of this powder burning epic.
In chapter 2 entitled "Dead End"
whidh will be on the Palace screen
next week, serial fans will find out
what happened to Sammy when a
burning derrick fell on him at the
close of the first chapter. He'll
probably just get up and dust him-
self off as he did when visciously
tackled while playing football for
Texas Christian several years ago.
Clyde McCoy, the king of corn, as
he calls himself, is really putting
tjie shucks in the cash register as
was verified at the Worth last week
when the management hung out
the SRO sign. Along with the Mc-
Coy corn singing and dancing and
novelty act put on by Texas Jim
Lewis and his fiddle band which
must have come to town from back
in the piney woods.
Larraine Day makes her farewell
appearance in the Kildare series in
"Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day" at
the Parkway beginning today. She
is killed when run over by an auto-
mobile the day before her schedul-
ed wedding. Her death almost
wrecks the career of Dr. Kildare
but he is persuaded to go ahead
with his work by kindly old John
Barrymore. ^
Spencer Tracy brings back anold
one at thfe Varsity today, "Sky Der
vile." Bing Crosby and Bob' Hope
are cutting capers again in "Road

nesday and Thursday as Betty
Grable does a little fortune hunt-

The ice skating rink is becoming

Mr. Marius Thor, head of the vio-

He came to this country from Nor-

The Pro Arte string quartet,

cert will be presented December 12.
Friday night's program was devot-

Lunt and Fontanne
Alfred Lunt apd Lynn Fontanne
are definitely scheduled to play
"There Shall Be No Night" here
Dec. 3. It was not certain wheth-
er or not they would play in Fort
Worth, but now it looks like Fort
Worth will have an opportunity to
see these great troupers do the play
written; by one of America's great-
est playrights, Robert Sherwood.
Although the play is about Fin-
land during the Russian invasion
and war the tide has turned in the
last few months in the other direc-
tion. Finland is on the side of the
enemy, Russia is an ally with Great
Britain and so on.
The play is such a powerful mov-
ing force that nations, wars, or bor-
der lines are minor factions.

DeMille As An Actor
Cecil B. DeMille, motion picture
producer and director of CBS' "Lux
Radio Theater" made one of his
rare appearances as an actor when
he joined Charles Boyer and Pau-
lette Goddard in a radio adapta
tion of the movie, "Hold Back the
Dawn," Monday, November 10.
Mr. DeMille played the role of a
motion picture producer.

Rehearsals for "Night Must'Fall"
are going strong now. The whole
cast is working like real troupers.
Although everyone takes the re-
hearsals seriously there is always
something amusing happening.
When rehearsal began back a few
weeks ago the mosquitos had quite
a merry time chewing the actors,
technicians and the director, but
that didn't slow down,the play. g
Since the advent of cold weather
the mosquitos have gone south, but
have been replaced by head colds.
Nearly every member of the pro-
duction has been sniffing, but un-
der the skilled efficiency of Miss
Beckett, head of the speech de-
partment and director, the cast has
been taking Zerbsts (plug) cap-
sules.
