This Hair is Blended for You!* after atte r By Lester Gottlieb A monthly record review of more music from Movieland — as recorded by your singing favorites and orchestra hit makers ★ ★ ★ Extra Color . . . glorious, natural-looking color for every hair type — redhead, blonde, brunette or brownette! Marchand’s color chart shows you which rinse shade to use if you want to add a little color or a lot of color. There are special rinses, too, for blending in little gray strands. Highlights , of course! Every Marchand rinse makes your hair sparkle with new lustre! After your shampoo, dissolve the rinse shade you select in warm water and brush or pour it through your hair. Soap film vanishes! Highlights appear! Your hair is softer and easier to manage, too. As safe to use as lemon and vinegar, Marchand’s Hair "Make-Up" is not a bleach, not a permanent dye.

For reprises, try Betty Rhodes’s Victor recording of the tune. BOB HOPE AND DOROTHY LAMOUR: The slopenosed star’s "Favorite Brunette” joins him in a swell new Capitol disk, featuring two top-drawer tunes — one, the title tune; the other, a lilting ballad, "Beside You.” IT HAPPENED IN BROOKLYN: Margaret Whiting leads the parade of platter performers who will record the hit song from Frank Sinatra’s newest M-G-M film, "Time After Time,” and that gives a rough idea of how often you’ll play this Capitol grooving. JEANETTE MACDONALD: The gracious singing star is featured in a charming Victor album (unbreakable records) for children, telling again the story of “Cinderella.” Russ Case supplies the original musical score. PERILS OF PAULINE: This cliff-hanger saga has two new songs written especially for dynamic Betty Hutton, who sings them on a new capitol record just as she does in the film. One is called "Rumble, Rumble, Rumble,” the other, "Poppa, Don’t Preach to Me.” Joe Lilley’s orchestra strives valiantly to keep up with La Hutton but it’s a losing battle. LYDIA: You may have forgotten this 1941 film but perhaps its tender, haunting theme song lingered on. Ray Bloch’s orchestra gives it a sympathetic playing on a new Signature disk. UNDERCURRENT: Remember the dramatic theme music in this melodrama taken from Brahms’ Third Symphony? Well, Al Goodman’s orchestra, with pianist Vladimir Sokoloff, records the theme just as it was heard on the sound track. This Victor disk has excellent tone quality. ERROL FLYNN: The Warner star turns up with an album dramatizing the Dumas classic "The Three Musketeers” and it is a real treat. Carmen Dragon provides a fine musical background (Columbia). THE CLASSICAL CORNER: Eugene Ormandy conducts the Philadelphia Orchestra in Rimsky-Korsakov’s festive "Russian Easter Overture” for Columbia . . . The Spanish composer De Falla is saluted by two famous orchestras. The Pittsburgh Symphony, conducted by Fritz Reiner with Negro contralto Carol Brice, plays his stirring "El Amor Brujo” or "Love by Witchcraft” in a splendid Columbia album, while Leopold Stokowski and the Hollywood Bowl Symphony give an excellent performance of the same work for Victor . . . The beautiful Chopin Concerto No. 2 in F Minor, Opus 21, is played by the NBC Symphony, with William Steinberg on the podium and Artur Rubinstein as piano soloist. This is a flawless Victor presentation . . . The Russian composer Khachaturian is again represented on records with his fiery "Ballet Suite” played to perfection by the N. Y. Philharmonic with Efrem Kurtz conducting (Columbia) ... A single disk feature is the Boston "Pops” orchestra rendition of Von Suppe’s "Fatinitza” overture. Arthur Fiedler conducts (Victor Red Seal) . . . Capitol has issued an album of Seasonal Hymns sung by the St. Lukes’ Choristers . . . The magic voice of Marian Anderson can be heard on Victor’s "Hear the Wind Whispering” and "Lullaby” by Scott . . . Harmonica Classics played by talented John Sebastian for Victor is an arresting novelty for those enraptured by the mouth organ . . . An excellent violinist, Zino Francescatti, plays a collection of well known violin pieces for Columbia. Dorothy Lamour 120
