Music In The Air

the Bavarian Away up mountains in the village of Eberndort, a lovable old musi- clan, Dr. Lessing, composes some lating tunes which he feels he could get his old friend Weber to publish

Weber lives at Munich, and it Is "through the generosity of the villagers that the composer and his pretty daughter, Gleglide. are able to make the long jour- ney.

It is greed that Kari, Sieg- linde's boy friend, should, meet them in the publisher's office a few days later.

Their arrival coincides with a Arst-class crisis in the Munich stage world. The musical direc- tor of the new opera which la soon due for production cannot get the score orchestrated, and the prima conna, Frieda is in a temperamental battle with Brune, her leading man.

Frieda, seeing the good-look- ing Karl in the publisher's office determines to capture his affec- tion in order to spite Bruno,

Meanwhile Weber is enchanted with Dr. Lessing's songs and agrees to include some of them in the new production.

Bruno turns to Sieglinde for consolation. He is much attract-. ed by the little mountain girl's freshness and. beauty.

So develops a love tangle with Frieda persuading Karl to stay on at Murich, where the doctor has also been persuaded to re- main so that he can write morę music for the opera.

Bruno,

his relations with Frieda

пот having reached breaking point, induces Blegilode to sing the leading role in the prima conna's place..

Direct'y Sieglinde starts re- hearsing. It becomes obvious that she is not competent to play the role, although everyone is afraid of saying 50.

Meanwhile the musical director has been secretly coaching Frieda in the part.

Finally Weber tells Dr, Lessing that neither be nor his daughter have enough experience; so they go back to their mountali vill- disillusioned, age, dejected and where they find" a penitert Karl.

On their arrival the delighted. villagers give them a great re- ception. Dr. Lessing's music has after all been included in the opera, and be hears it over the radio set which has been install- ed in his honour.

While it is being played, two pairs of lovers are reunited, one on the stage of the Munich Theatre, and the other in the Eberndorf mconlight.

GLORIA SWANSON returns to the screen in the chef featured role of "Music in the Air," Fox Film's screen version of the Kem Hammerstein muzical bit. Gloria brings to the film all her old dash and sparkle- well as a remarkable singing voice.

JUNE LANG, rated as "Fox Film's most important screen discovery of the year, has an important featured role with Gloria Swanson, John Boles and Douglass Montgomery in the gay mu sical romance"Music in the Air,”

DOUGLASS MONTGOMERY has an important role in Fox Film's notable screen operetta "Music in the Ait," described as a joyous romance with an unexcelled score.

DISLIKED THE PICTURES

Then Changed His Mind

A couple of years ago a slender, shy and retirng young man nam- "ed John Beal left Broadway for.

Hollywood, and he didn't think he'd like it much.

"To-day the same young man. still shy and not quite só retiring. finds his name plastered all over the nation's screens as Katharine Hepburn's leading@ man in the RKO Radio Pictures production of Barrie's "The Little Minister." He's still in Hollywood, and he likes it a lot better. In fact, John' Beal is about as well set in pictures now as any young actor can be.. His performance as Gavin Dishart in the Hepburn picture made him the RKO Radio very popular on lot, and his bosses there gave him a long-term contract. young man is now busily playing the leading role in Gene Strat- ton-Porter's romance, "Laddle.""

The

Beal is one of those fellows who set out to be an actor in college, and succeeded. He was a Mask and Wig player at the University of Pennsylvania, and it out for Broadway as soon as they hand- ed him his sheep-skin.

Sincere Actor

His first big Broadway success was in "Another Language," and he went to Hollywood to make the Alm version of that folk comedy. So little did he like the movie. -set-up that he is said to have! spurned chances to play Laurie in "Little Women" and the role op- posite Anna Sten in "Nana." Hol- lywood just couldn't believe It but Beal went right on spurning. But he reconsidered, after a while, and went back to Holly- wood. There he made "Hat, Coat and Glove" for RKO Radio, and this time, when asked, be took another part Gavin Dis- hart In The Little Minister": Robert Edeson, among others, played the part opposite Maude* Adaras, and what was good enough for Edesor, was evidently "good enough for Beal

This is the part that put him over, contract and all, and he's a fixture as REO for some time to come. He is a fine, sincere. able young actor, and they're lucky to have him on the lot. He's doing all right, too.

His contract provides that he can have time off for an occasion- a) Broadway show, which pleases/ "him" greatly with his young- wife, Helen Craig, an actress with whom he once trouped, Mr. Heal seems to have setled down to ... the peaceful life of a lad who made good in Hollywoodman

And that's the shy young man who went west under protest just a couple of years ago, didn't like It much, and ran away again!

THE LITTLE MINISTER

CHAPTER TWO

Dinner was as dull as she knew it would be. She scarcely 11a- tened to the conversation till she heard them discussing the re- cent uprisings in the village, The. manufacturers, who bought, the cloth woven in the homes of the villagers had reduced the price. and it was a serious loss to these poor people, whose weaving, Bar- bars knew, was their entire liveli- hood. They had chased out # band of soldiers come to discip line them. Now the Captain was laying plans to capture the ring- leaders and take them to jail.

Lord Rintoul was saying: "Yes, but you must be careful. I do not think they intend to be easily caught. I have reason to be- Heve they have been making pre- parations of some kind."

"Preparations! Ah!" The Cap- tain refilled his glass of part with a flourish which expressed his contempt for the villagers. He was much gratified to see that Barbara appreciated his intelling- -ent grasp of the situation, for she questioned him eagerly. He would have been less gratified to know that late that night, when he was ..with his men giving them their last orders, she was down in the very village he proposed to out- wit..

As Babble the Gypay. Barbara had made friends in Thrums. She knew about their pathetic hopes and fears. She was determined dot to let them suffer for having provoiced the wealthy manufac- turers, for she felt the. villagers were justified in their resent- ment

Babble had had many a gossip. in particular, with the town's only policeman, who was glad of company on his rounds at night, and now she was making him tell what she wanted to know for special reasona of her own.

"Are you here la case the -30- jers come this night?" she asked. The sojers? Losh preserve us! My heart's wi' the weavers, Las- sle, but my dooty's wi' the Law. Three blasts on the weavers' horn will loose" a bee's nest in Thrams." "Three blasts on what her?" "The algzial born they hide in the Auld Mill Everybody kens aboot it. Everybody but the Min- ister of the Auld ̈ Licht Kirk, He's a' for peace, so nobody tells him."

"You mean the little minister?"—" He quickly set her right. It was not for the likes of this gypsy to speak with such familiarity of the minister. "I mean the Re- verend who..."

Babble had disappeared. She was on her way to the Old M slipping noiselessly through the shadows of Caddam Wood like a true gypsy child. She knew she must hurry, as the soldiers' raid was set for midnight. Hearing footsteps, she drew aside from the She path, but it was too late. had been seen, so she stepped out again, and began, in her best gypsy accent: "Oh please, sir dinne turn me over to the Shirra. I've lost my way."

Mister Gavin Dishart

It was the Little Minister who answered her, obviously touched by her distress, though any man, ́even a minister, might have pau- sed to look at with her hair in curls over her shoulders, and her eyes alight with excitement."

"Perhaps I can help you," he said kindly.

"Aye, sir, you can, sir. Tell me, where is the Auld Mili? I was to meet my sweetheart...I mean, sir, my father, and I canna even and the place."

Gavin was frowning at her evasion of the truth, but he said, kindly enough, "I pass it on my way, I direct you.":

They walked in silence while Babble sought for an opering. This man interested her. He had arrived only recently in the vil- Tage, with his mother to mind for him the Auld Licht Manse. Yet already he was accepted and even beloved by the villagers who were usually much "alower" and "inan- ikely more cautious to give their allegiance,

Babble had heard some amus- ing stories about him and some not in the least amusing but brave and fine. He had faced - down Rob Dow, the village drunk- ard, a great. hulk of a man who had cowed the previous insober now and had made himself had changed him.

Babble was all sly servility 25 she" ventured, “I—I take it you. must be the new little minister-I heard them talk of Had shế : known, she would not have been unkind, for Gavin; was sensitive about his lack of height,

Tm the new minister he re-

plled shortly, and then after a pause: "Do they say, Tittle: min-

•·ister???

"No, that was my fault it just---- popped out! But it was not meant to be uncomplimentary. You're just the size' I like," Sha babbled on, refusing to be dis- turbed by his disapproving sil- ence, though she knew well en- ough he was wondering whether his dignity should allow him to be out here with a gypsy. Finally, she got an answer when she said,' "They say you're agin the was- vers fighting the sojers when they' come."

"I'm against fighting." Gävin said in his pulpit voice. "Here's the mill.'

"Babble ran in. She found tha big horn fimmediately. but she could not blow it. She came fun- ning out again to where he stood. "Oh sir! They're not here. But they-ve left the horn. It's our way of calling each other. They must be looking for me. Will you 'give't a blow?"

i

Gavin book the heavy, twisted ram's horn ́and blew a long blast on it.

"Oh, that was barely a toot. I dinna suppose you could blow it a" wee bit louder? It takes a strong man to blow a lusty toot."

Gavin hastly took the horn. again" and, blew another blast, a long one. "There! They must have heard that."

Babble clapped her hands de- lightedly: "Again?" she cried.

"That ́must sunce,” he said, a

little pompously....

"Oh, of course, if you're fired..." "Tired!" The Uttle minister blew again, and the thre signals were immediately answered by shouts from the village and the startling beat of a drum.

Gavin's expression of dismay and surprise at the results of his efforts almost made Babble pause. He really had been a dear, but she had things to do in the vil lage, and flew off, throwing him a kiss as she sped, and loving the consternation with which he re- delved the careless gesture, Pre cious dew kisses in his life, she reflected. He was astonishingly. unlike the men she had known, who took. kisses much more cas- ually.

She put a little hand on his reluctant arm and smiled firt- atiously at him. "Mr. Dishart, I do believe you've liked me all the time,'

||

"Can a man, like a woman against his will?”

"Of course he can. That is the very nicest way to be liked.”

He bolted for the door and she called softly after; "Good night.”

The oldest looking edifice. In Hollywood is the Windsor Castle on the Paramount

But it did not look nearly old enough to please Cecil B. De Mille who is aiming the castle for some of the scenes in THE --CRUSADES.
