NELL ENZER Phone for Appointment HE -4001 FOX FILMS Preienti JOHN McCORMACK "Song o' My Heart" Directed by FRANK BORZAGE Story by TOM BARRY GRAUMAN'S CHINESE Twice Daily— 2:30-8:30 desk of the Lyric ery appropn briefly i to disi ! of the fundamentals that up song lyrics people have the idea that there is no difference between the writing of poetry and song lyrics, just writing verse, as it were. Nothing could be more erroneous and farther from the truth. Many excellent poems would never lend themselves to musical transposition, as they were written strictly as poetic literature, with no thought in mind of ever having been set to Th( the side from fundamental lav ■iting of good othc. isiderably at variance with those applied when writing song lyrics. Thus it follows, that first of all you must decide if you are going to write "straight poetry," so to speak, or if intend to set down the lyric verses for isical to be composed later or composed already, as the case might be. At times the two activities take place simultaneou.ly. These two items, words and music, should always enhance each other's rendition, should match in quality, should harmonize in rhythm, rhymes and cadence, so that they present a complimentary as well as a complementary unit to each other, in order to deserve a one hundred per cent workmanship rating I After you have decided to write a song lyric, you should then proceed to either choose your subject or your title next. There are lyric writers, who will get sufficient inspiration for an entire song lyric solely from some certain title of a "catchy" quality that particularly appeals to them. On the other hand, you might have your subject matter and theme well in hand, but no title as yet. Often it will come to you, while still writing on the lyric verses, while at other times you have to devote much time and concentrated effort for just the proper title wording and phrasing. Always remember, the title is of greater importance than the average person thinks. Some titles have "madewhile others did 'break' a whole number.

Miss Caldwell instructed him in n|s stage dialogue. On the "Dixiana" «t she did likewise. They were Merman's first lines for the screen.

SING? WELL. HE SANG THIRTY-FIVE YEARSI Question Number 2.1 in talking picture circles today is: "Can you sing? Thata because of the musical' embellishment of over half the features made today. Singing has become a valuable, if not necessary, qualifica Nick Dc Ruiz, who is playing at Tiffany in "So This Is Mexico," directed by Richard Thorpe, was liked that question recently by one studio "Sure, lie said. "All my life I have sung.' "What I demanded the questioner. "I've known you as a silent picture actor for years, Where did you sing?" he added skeptically. Then Dc Ruiz recounted the years, the places and the type of singing. Just .15 years, in every important country but Scotland on the map, as a singing act billed as "De Ruiz and Granville." Granville" was his wife. The actor was roadshowed by the Orpheum for six consecutive seasons abroad, a record not beaten by any but one vaudeville attraction in American history.
