for recording this mosaic work in movies. The photography of the great white dome is possible at any time of day and you'll always be able to find objects to frame it with or a winding street, filled with old buildings to contrast with the lightness of the dome. Many scenes, photographically duplicating the work of the ever-present artist, can be made from the streets of Montmartre leading West from the Church. These are at their best in the late afternoon. The rest of Montmartre, with its small streets and lens-worthy buildings and scenes will occupy any amount of footage you can afford to shoot. Your return to the center of the city by Metro from either An vers or Pigal le stop, and now, let's eat! France is famous for its foods, so let s discuss the cuisine of Paris and its prices.

Good restaurants can be found in any quarter of Paris and many feature specialties exclusive with that particular restaurant.

Next Month MEXICO MUSIC • Continued from Page 57 These are good examples of cases where the titles connotes nothing more than a dedication of the composition to something of which the composer is very fond. Another example of a misleading title is found in Respighi's "Pines of Rome ". This is not a musical interpretation of trees or forests. Rather, it depicts events in history and lives of people in and around Rome where, incidentally, pine trees were growing. The trees in this instance are simply silent spectators of the rich tapestry of Roman life. So again I say, 'Don't let titles fool you'. In regards to the use of popular music, unless the pictorial situation demands it, well known popular music should be avoided, especially if it is a vocal selection. In the use of current or recent popular music, it must have a definite connection to, and fit into the pictorial material with which it is used. Otherwise the familiar melody will divert the attention of the viewer (consciously or unconsciously) from the picture to some personal memory thatthe 'tune' reminds him of. This is all the more true of a vocal selection in which case the audience wants to 'join' in the singing, even if only to himself. To a great extent the titles of popular music have little or no connection with the emotional character of the music. As a rule,the music is light and uninvolved and the only relationship between the 'story character' of the lyric and the emotional quality of the music is that the meter of the music fits the meter of the lyric or vice versa. If it were not for the title (and lyric), the composition "A Pretty Girl Is Like a Melody" would probably never suggest a feeling of loveliness and beauty to the average hearer. And yet, how many times have you heard this number played to accompany scenes of a beauty contest or the crowning of the Queen of the 'Strawberry Festival'? And why? Just because of the title. I am sure that no one (least of all Wagner) would consider "I'm Getting Sentimen • See Next Page TO YOUR home MOVIES WITH THE Wilson Syncro-Meter Easily attached to your 8mm or 16mm projector, the WILSON SYNCRO METER enables you to synchronize sound to your pictures, post recorded on magnetic tape, wire or disc recorders.
