The Voiee of the City In “METROPOLIS,” Ferde Grofe offers a musical pot-pourri of the life of a great city. Here are breath-taking sky- scrapers, standing slim and aloof, far above the clamor and hubbub of the traffic arteries below. . . . Strange streets, furtive with nightfall, echoing desolately to the rap of nightsticks. . . . Snatches of jungle-rhythm from supper-clubs. . . . Theatre districts drenched with chalk-white light. The city at dawn, sleepy-eyed, awakening to the clatter and bustle of millions of workers. Or at sunset, with regi- ments of windows ablaze with the red splendor of the dying sun. "Metropolis” had its first public playing last year, on the evening of December sixteenth, before a critical Philadelphia audience. It scored an instantaneous success. Even before its premiere, it had been recorded by aul Whiteman and His Orchestra on ictor Records. The music is repro- duced identically as rendered at the (original performance. As an inter- esting musical experiment, it is well ^(worth your hearing. Victor is known, internationally, for its comprehensive record-library of the musical classics. In the last year or so, Victor has also recorded many of the important works of the more modern composers. Listed at the left are a few of these modern composi- tions. Have your nearest Victor dealer play them over for you. Whether they will endure, time must decide. Yet it is well to remember that many of the names which we \regard as musically great today — Bach, Haydn, Beethoven, Wagner — were once considered perplexing musical revolutionaries.
